Seriously? You never saw Lord of the Rings? Sean Astin is their son. Or The Goonies?  If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nope, I don't watch many movies or tv. I probably haven't seen 30 movies in my whole life. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

LOLOLLOL!! Of course you haven't, what was I thinking. You don't eat normal food, have never read books and rarely see movies, have no personal items that mean jack squat to you. The picture in my mind is you sitting around all day staring at a spot on the wall. How far off am I. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Close, but the spot is on one of my computers. I spend about 12 hours a day on the computer either programming or surfing. I do watch a lot of sports on tv so me saying I don't watch much tv is a misnomer. Today I am heading to the mountains for a few days and will have no tv, no internet, and no phone service, and no I don't have any video on my phone to watch. Most of my time will be spent sitting in front of a campfire or playing in the river. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I have a firepit by the picnic table down by the creek. Haven't had a fire yet this year, too lazy. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've lived here for so many decades off and on that I never think about it anymore. What used to be fun just sounds like work now. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
