The game can date back to the 6th century BC (BCE). It was first used as a training game for the Persian Calvary. It’s interesting to note that Polo was actually an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1936. It consists of two teams with four players each on horseback. I must admit I have never tried this game at all. I only rode a horse when I was young & I cannot imagine trying to focus on riding as well as playing a game like this. I’m intrigued at who all has tried this game & their opinions on it.

We’ve watched the 2 seasons on Netflix. It’s a Belgian Sci-Fi drama. The plot revolves around a plane that is hijacked & the passengers find out that exposure to the sun kills all living things. There’s several languages spoken in here but I found that Netflix English translation did a great job. Unfortunately, the seasons are short & the episode length averages 35 to 40 minutes, however they seem to pack quite a bit into those short episodes. Anybody watch this? What did you think?

While I’m not huge into gaming, I love this concept! Toxicity can ruin even the most joyous activity. I feel that the more sites like this that are promoted, the more gamers will come out of the woodwork. I’ve talked to several people before. They just want to have a good time, playing a game, chatting with like-minded individuals. Some minor bantering, competition is healthy, however, sites that encourage bashing & badmouthing also encourage people to up & quit. There are numerous reasons why people play a game. One is to just escape reality, similar to vegging in front of the TV watching a movie. It relaxes them, gives them some social time, even boosts their morale when they were able to make it to the next level. I’d love to help spread the word about this site. Life is too short.

Tough one for me as I love the water as well as astronomy. However, I would have to pick the moon. Even though others have done it, I personally have not & it would be an awesome experience.

Detect every lie I hear. Just be nice to know who would be hiding the truth. People can lie so easily. That’s evident from how actors can act & you can get caught up in the proverbial lie.

I'd prefer to have my hand stuck in a jar. I have my other hand as well as objects laying around that could help me free it. I couldn't imagine having a bucket stuck on my head & not being able to see where I was going.

I would rather BE the dragon. Owning one would get quite expensive! & I figured, being so big, I could do some good out there. Instead of starting random fires, could help with campfires lol

I would choose being a sand castle. I just don't have it in me to 'crash' somebody's happiness lol A sand castle is lovingly built with thought into it.

While I haven’t bowled in a very long time, I do like it. However, I am not good at it lol I think back to when we had to take it in P.E. class & was graded. I always thought that was unfair. Not all of us are good at sports. Plus we had to learn how to keep score. I had my brother-in-law at the time help explain it better as our teacher pretty much just put us in there & expected us to ‘just know’.

Wow! I'm impressed! Have any of them been published? Or are they just for your own eyes? Do you keep a diary as well? I had started a book, wrote numerous poems. Kept a diary since 1990. But all of my writings are for my own personal use. I shared them sometimes with family or friends, but they were just therapeutic for me. Plus, when you are a writer, you HAVE to write to get it out of your head! Are you like that too?

This was a comedy/ drama series that ran for 7 seasons from 2000-2007. With a mini-series of 4 episodes detailing each season, set a decade later called Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. It starred Lauren Graham who plays the mom Lorelai & Alexis Bledel, the teenage daughter, Rory. Lorelai was a teen mom & the storyline deals with her raising her child on her own, estranged from her family. Debuted on The WB then moved over to The CW for the last season. The stories were good, however Lorelai left a lot to be desired in her character. She was quite immature. It still kept my attention as I liked the other characters. What did you think about it? Who could you relate to the most?

This is on Netflix in the Icelandic language. Though for once, Netflix English language translation matches the English subtitles so we are able to watch AND read it correctly. It’s a mystery drama created by Baltasar Kormákur. It just started in 2021 so there’s only 1 season & 8 episodes so far. It begins one year after Katla volcano started to erupt. Only a few people stay around but there are strange things happening for which nobody can explain. It is slow moving but it’s a good, steady pace to keep you wanting to watch it. I actually like some Foreign films as the actors are not the ‘perfect’ Hollywood actors we have. They actually look like normal people.

I first heard of this word when I was a kid in school. I thought it was the coolest sounding word lol I recently found out that the new term is “Caving”. I think Spelunking sounds more chic. It is a recreational sport exploring caves. It is under the Extreme Sports as it is not for amateurs, unless you have a guide. You need gear, lighting, helmet, good clothing & boots. While I have explored a small cave, we didn’t need equipment, I cannot imagine going to the extreme like this sport does. Have you tried this? Would you?

I believe they exist. To think we are the only beings out there is narcissistical. With billions of planets just in our own Milky Way Galaxy, not to mention many other galaxies with their own supply of planets, you have to think there is life out there. We also have to step out of our thinking that ‘life’ may not be what WE look or act like. It’s mind-boggling the various beings, cultures that could be out there.

Lesser-known superhero. I cannot imagine doing ‘bad’ things. I don’t have it in me, even to play one in acting would not be feasible. I would feel too guilty & would apologize profusely afterwards!

Skip lunch. I eat late in the day anyways so my lunch is actually my ‘breakfast’ lol Dinner I like having with my husband. He is a wonderful cook & we always watch an episode or a movie while eating. Then we have the furbabies with us & finish what we were watching.

I pick being colorblind. I love to read as well as write & cannot imagine not having that ability anymore. I love learning & studying & I learn best when I can see the written words versus hearing it.

I've done this as well a few times. Especially when it's the same build & hair color & length. Then you go up to them & notice the differences. People laugh it off. It happens to, I would think, all of us at one point or another in our lives.

I watched a show & they had a football game & tailgate parties. So I was wondering who all did one. What did you think about it? Since I don’t watch sports, I haven’t done one myself but I know of several who have gone all out with their party! Decking out the trucks, splitting the party into several vehicles.

I know a friend who is into Parkour & would like to know more about it. In one of my other threads, I posted about American Ninja Warrior. Some people who do ANW tend to be into Parkour as well. Those who do Parkour tend to be quite fit as well as flexible. & in my opinion, fearless. I cannot imagine jumping & leaping from place to place. Climbing walls. The pro of it is people can devise their own obstacle course right around their own home. If they have the room, some have even turned their basement into one. Who has tried this & what did you think?

I caught an episode when it was on TV after it was a couple of seasons in. Then I started it from the beginning on Netflix. I liked it! It began in 2005 & has been running for 18 seasons. It became too much like a soap opera. I know they need to have drama to keep viewers’ attention but as with many shows, after the years go on, the storylines were feeling strained to me so I had to quit. They must be doing something right. Anybody like this show? Who is your favorite actor or actress?

Good point! I was mainly talking about their talents. Scientists create things using their brains to think. Singers as well. However, singers doing humanitarian efforts are doing it because they have extra money, for the publicity, etc. It's not a 'talent' like singing & writing songs. That was why I wrote what I did 🙂

I've used Amla powder & it's quite bitter so I tend to do it with greens where I can just down it but not in my shakes. I heard of Camu Camu but hadn't tried it. Is it bitter as well? I've used a variety at one time or another myself. Mushrooms, wheatgrass, moringa, maca. Bee pollen I just took in capsule form. I love banana & ginger but never thought to try together. I'll have to do that!

I would pick being a brilliant scientist. I like making things & helping people. I am not musically talented & can take or leave music & singing. Being a scientist, I think it would be more rewarding. Financially as well as socially. There are awards out there that they give to scientists. The recognition. Singers get recognition but it is only for one thing whereas as science, the possibilities are endless.

I've had both myself as a kid. We'd nibble on grass & make mud pies. To answer this question, I will say chew grass now. It is easier & more palatable than eating mud.
