I quite like this - making the ones we cherish know that our love is everlasting and not just a one-off thing.

Okay - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm about to see if I can find a retailer who has them online.

We get Blue Sky. The organic one is hard to find now & is not listed on their website. But we have still found it at Health Food Stores. If you see an organic brand online, you can always ask if your local Health Food Store could order you some even if they don't necessarily carry it. We order in bulk because they also gave us a discount. 
While we haven't tried this brand, Rocky Mountain Soda based in Colorado, we know of others who have & liked it.

We don’t celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, even holidays. Just another day. However, we DO acknowledge them. Let the person know they are loved & thought of. But as my husband always says, I don’t need a day to remind my family I love them. I think it means more when it's out of the blue, for no reason, than because it's a 'have to' according to society's rules.
 

Thank you so much @Shagger ! When I have time, I'll try out your instructions. Like @Heatman said, I'm sure others would find it useful as well. Did you learn this on your own or stumbled on it?

Yes , I even created a small space shooter game, and I stopped as I went another direction for my money making path XD

When I was young I dreamt of creating a game called life, in which you could choose a career and do anything. This was long before the sims or second life.
Later I thought I wanted to be a game developer so I started experimenting with game development, tried a few freely available engines, and even wrote my own driving game. Of course it was never completed, but it did work, you could actually drive in it.

Fifth Element is a banger! Haven't watched it in a while though but it's a great watch for sure.

I quite like that metaphor at the end...and I totally agree, we have to learn from out past mistakes.
To be fair, that's what you have to do with most pets anyways.

Astronomy has always been a passion of mine. I absolutely love it. I have several seasons of The Universe on DVD and watch, and rewatch it constantly. I got a telescope last year that I'm still reading the instructions on, because I want to make sure I know everything REALLY well before I get it out, so that I don't screw it up. It was an $1800 telescope. And the powerpak to run it was another $200. The powerpak was an optional nonrequired thing. But when it's charged, I can run the telescope a lot longer. This is even powerful enough for me to see Andromeda and exoplanets as well.
I'm dying to get it out, but need to feel comfortable knowing how to use it first. And with as dumb as I am, I may be wrinkled and gray before that happens.

I learned English almost entirely from watching TV, so probably yes. Then again English is my words 😛 I mean long deep words that I might not even know. 

Klingon is so damn big and popular among Trekkies, that there is actually a Klingon dictionary and other books that you can buy to learn it and become fluent in it. I've never been into Star Trek myself, but I do find it odd that a fake language has garnered such a fan base. I could be wrong on this next one, but I think the same thing has been done with the language from Avatar. I don't remember exactly what the language was called.

There used to be a kids show called Zoom and they spoke a language called Ubbi Dubbi. I sent away at one time for the instructions on how to speak it and it was totally confusing to me. My friends all knew how to do it easily though!

I totally agree especially with the last segment - as they are now, outside of the social element, movie theaters won't be able to compete with more modern ways of consuming content. That's why I suggested things like the VR helmet.

Valid points and that's what I also live by. I have taken the approach over the years that if I'm going to make a major purchase, I must have at least three times the money of the item just in case there might be extras that wasn't accounted for in the original price.

Movie theaters around here have shut down before this virus hit. With the advent of streaming services, cinemas took a nosedive. Not to mention kiosks that make it easy to shop at a grocery store & get a DVD for one-stop shopping.
I liked the experience, that can't be beat. It's a good social time. However, I also like being able to Pause, Rewind what I'm watching as well as being more comfortable on my couch.
I think if they did try to stick around, they'd have to reinvent themselves to cater today's society.
 

Don't live beyond your means. Splurge at times, Self-Care is always vital, but be sure the bills are paid. Compare prices. Don't get the newest & shiniest 'toy' just because everybody else has it or society says to.

I wanted to be an astronomer as well as an archaeologist. Even as a kid, I thought it quite odd having opposite goals lol One is for the future, the other looked to the past. But as I thought on it later in life, we have to LEARN from the past so we don't repeat the same mistakes.

Here I am singing a commercial I heard 5 minutes ago!
Yeah, these ear worms can be a nuisance but not always, especially now that commercials are playing songs from the 80s! I just wait for the next commercial to change the tune.
At least it's not Barney's or Lambchop's songs  😉  Oh, no, I went there!

I get it often. Typically it's a lyric or two, and I can't for the life of me figure out what song the lyric is from. But often I'll be doing something and a song will start playing in my head and won't leave no matter what I do. There was a day a couple weeks ago that I had to watch a 5 minute YouTube video more than 20 times, because the god damn song wouldn't shut the fuck up and kept me so distracted that I never could see the god damn video.

The best point of buying hard copies is that we can sell it later. I have played games like God of war 1 and 2, Spider-Man, GTA IV etc. After completing the game, I sold the used copies to my friends at 50% off the real price. In our place, buying or selling such used gaming DVDs are very common.

Your right. Internet not being available and the possibility of online services for games getting shut down are very real and justifiable concerns when it comes to digital game's distribution. Sadly, the question is kind irrelevant because there has not been a major PC game or port released on physical media for well over a decade. The format is long since died off. It's one the weaknesses of PC gaming in general.
 
I did a little research on that game you mentioned Skip-Bo Castaway Caper and as far as I can tell the game has trouble running on modern systems because of an incompatibility with 64bit operating systems and hardware. This can, at least in theory, be fixed by running the games using window's compatibility mode. 

I love watching documentaries. The ones I watch the most are nature & animal ones. I like the ones that David Attenborough narrates as I feel he has a great, down to earth voice. 

I don't care to watch them. I've seen some behind the scenes & they make them only for drama not real life. They retake some scenes to add more emphasis on something. I used to love watching House Hunters. Then I found out that the people already found their homes & the homes were i.e. a friend's or somebody else's that they shot that looked good for the show.
