No, there is no gaming system in the main area of the house. My son has one in his room, doesn't use it to watch movies. Like I said, if we watch movies, they are streamed in some way; services, media server, etc. I do have a DVD player that connects to my laptop, but I also rarely watch movies that way, I still use streaming services.

Hmm, ok.

Out of curiosity, have you been outside of the tourist cities on HI, the more remote ends of the islands that get no tourist dollars?

Yes, CO is another option. I know this sounds horrid, but basically waiting for my mom to pass away to see what kind of move is available for us. Then we'd take my dad with us.

I would move to Montana if it weren't land locked; I need an ocean nearby.

Housing costs in CA are higher not just due to supply and demand, but the amount of regulations and red-tape to actually build here; all of those costs are passed down.

HA! This is what I do too. I am like, "Eh, it's $5." Much easier than getting up and searching for the movie.

You made an impression. At the time, he might not have liked you, but over all sounds like the firing was good for him. I have a manager form my past that kind of went behind my back when I'd applied for another job and was going to be offered the position. She called them, told them not to hire me. I will also never forget her, despite the fact that eventually it worked out well for me.

We have a huge collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays and I am trying to figure out WTF to do with them all. We've copied most of them over to a private media server in our house, so we can watch movies from that, no real need for a player anymore. Plus with streaming, you can buy/rent. So...what do you do with all of these movies? I'd love the extra cabinet space back. We also still have all of our CDs but they are in plastic bins in the garage and haven't been looked at in years (easily over 10 years).

I totally agree. My dad drove out here with his family in the late 60s from New York; said that CA was on "everyone's list" to visit, move there, or whatever. Not so much anymore.

California really is a beautiful state and I love living here. But I also don't live in one of the larger cities. I can drive an hour and hit the mountains or drive 1 1/2 hours and go to the ocean.

Lithium aside...the feature isn't good for the starter, motor, and other engine components. Causes more wear due to continually having to restart the car. And lead/acid batteries can still harm the environment if not disposed of correctly.

This is what I did for mine as well.

You new here?

Hey there, BLS.
