minimoniotaku: I see that Tanakamesen is old enough to have a beer in the States now.
reina_t_1111: Aw, c’mon, in Japan you get an extra year to work on your liver – drinking age is only 20 here.
minimoniotaku: Like I’m one to talk. I hardly drink to begin with.
reina_t_1111: You’re of Italian heritage and you don’t even have a glass of wine every day?
minimoniotaku: No, but I should – especially at my age and considering that I like wine.
reina_t_1111: What’s stopping you from doing that? Not having any wine in the house?
minimoniotaku: No, I have a few bottles here. What stops me sometimes is if I get a cold or allergy I’m afraid to drink anything alcoholic when I’m taking medicine.
reina_t_1111: OK, I can see that. Sounds a little overly cautious but better safe than sorry, huh?
minimoniotaku: Exactly.
reina_t_1111: What about chocolate? I know we discussed this before Valentine’s Day offhand, but…
minimoniotaku: You know how I said I couldn’t get Tara any chocolate for Valentine’s Day because she’s in the middle of a diet?
reina_t_1111: Uh-oh.
minimoniotaku: Yeah, I got an entire bagful.
reina_t_1111: LOL! I hope you have a good dental plan!
minimoniotaku: Yeah, it’s called not eating it all at once.
