"pthere's always a way to work these things out. but it's important to note than in all that i've said, i've never DMed before, so make sure you take it with a grain or two of salt <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ~NegZ</blockquote>
