There is actually a Nintendo site where you can play games for free but you need java to do so.

Freecell was the first game I got truly into.

Same here, I began playing it in August 1998, when my mom began working at a new job (which she would keep for only 11 months) and her computer at that office was a laptop with Windows 95 on it. That same month, I began college, and all the computers there ran on Windows 95. I had been accustomed to using Mac computers for the previous few years.

I've played several thousand of them already. Not all 32,000 of the games available through Windows95-98 though. I wanted to prove each and every one of them to be winnable (except for #11982, which has said to be unwinnable), but haven't gotten through 'em all yet. In 1999 or so, I even printed out a list of all the numbers from 1 to 32000, and then began highlighting the numbers of all the games I've played and won.

I won't try it until after I've tried all the other 31,999 basic deals. No one has found or confirmed a solution for it yet.

I agree with Tam's sentiment.

And the Zelda thread is a fairly new one; it was just created a week or two ago.

In 1979, I was negative one years old. In other words, not yet born!

But I do know that my parents bought a mobile home in September of that year. That would be the place where I would call home for the first 20 years of my life.

In 1979,I attended Kindergarden and was 5 years old.

I entered kindergarten in the second half of 1985. Almost a quarter of a century ago!

In 1985,I was 11.

In fact, I was just looking at some pictures in our photo albums from that year and it brought back some memories...including Easter (which I kinda remember). Some notable events in my life from 1985 that we have pictures of, are.. 1) the time we went to Disneyland (which I think was early in the year; I even made my own version of it at home with my blocks and other toys shortly thereafter); 2) my birthday party; and 3) Halloween in my kindergarten class, when I dressed up as a clown.

I dressed up as a witch for Halloween when I was in kindergarten; one of my old neighbors made the costume for me.  I wore the same costume the following year, in 1st grade. 

I went to Disneyland in the summer of '85; I went on all the fast rides at least twice.  ;D  I also still have the Minnie Mouse doll I got as a souvenir packed away somewhere.

I had an anaesthetic given to me before the procedure began, so that I'd be asleep while it was being performed. Before I knew it, it was all over.

Also, I had it done during the summer, so I didn't have to worry about missing school or anything. After maybe three or four days, I could eat normally again.

I remember when I had my teeth taken out and they gave me anaestheia.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out in 1997.  I was sore for a couple of days, but I was OK after that. 

Mine weren't really pulled, they were just surgically removed.

I think my mom had hers removed at or around age 20 as well. She has told me that she was sore for quite a while afterwards.

I wound up with buck teeth growing up.

Of course, I'll be spending less time on this site during the day (on weekdays).

Thanks Philip; I discussed it in reply #300 of the "Let's hear the news" thread for this month. The job is similar to the volunteer work I've been doing for the past five months, only this is a paying job and there'll most likely be more demands. Plus, I'll have to work a full day, which is why my time on here will be very limited.

The drill, any tools, don't bother me. As long as they freeze the area beforehand, I don't really care. Even if blood flew out, still don't care. I am not affected by it.

I get out of bed always at 5:50am.

I have to be up by 5:00am, so that I can shower, eat breakfast, and get ready to leave the house at 6. I need to leave the house by 6:00 so that I can be at the train station to catch the train that leaves at 6:20. Then I travel for close to two hours to get to my destination.

Actually, less than two hours altogether, on the average. I am on the train for about 1 1/2 hours (that is, if it gets to L.A. Union Station on time), and then when I arrive there, I have to go down and catch the subway. There is one that departs Union Station just before 8:00; if I catch that one, I can get to my destination (Wilshire/Normandie) at roughly 8:10, since the subway ride is about 10 to 15 minutes long... and then a one-block walk to the office.

In a sense, yeah. But the best part is NOT having to sit in traffic.

My dad makes the same commute every morning...so we travel together. I work in the same building as him, but on a different floor.

I travel by public transportation.

Me too. I did that when I was going to school at Cal State University Northridge. I only took the train as far as the Northridge train station, and then there was a shuttle bus that took us (CSUN students, staff and faculty who use the train) directly to the campus.

How long did that take you?

How long did that take you?

Not more than an hour.

Of course, in the afternoon, the shuttle left campus at various times in order to get people to the Northridge station in time to catch the trains that came through there in the afternoon. And it was a 10-minute ride from the campus to the station. One of those times was 4:40pm, and the train I rode to get back home came through Northridge at 5pm, so when the shuttle reached the station at 4:50, it was a 10-minute wait for the train. (Actually 11 minutes, since the train's actual arrival time was 5:01pm.)

Same here. I am on the train for about an hour and a half (since that's about how long it takes for it to go from Oxnard to downtown Los Angeles), and then on the subway for about 15 minutes. My dad knows what that's like, since he makes that commute each day. While riding on the train, I can use the time to relax, or read the newspaper, or do the daily Sudoku puzzle.

Pretty much. I'd say about 67 miles one way on the train. And then the ride on the subway from Union Station to Wilshire & Normandie is about 5 miles or so (I'm not sure of the exact distance).

Thanks; I'll be getting to bed in just a few. It's now 9:38pm and I need to be up by 5 tomorrow. Getting up on weekday mornings at 5:00 is nothing new to me; I did it all the time when I was going to CSUN during my first couple years there.

To me getting up at 550am is like clockwork for me.

Yeah, you get used to it after a while.

So yeah, I got up at 5:00 just about every weekday morning through 2003. (That is, on days I was going to CSUN.) Then beginning in 2004, there were some days when I got up not quite so early, since there was a train leaving here at 7am. I can't ride that one to work, since it gets to L.A. Union Station at approximately 8:30 and I have to be at work before then.

Your commute/daily routine?

My dad has been doing his for 9 years, even though he's worked in the same place for twice that long. The train became an option for commuters around 1992-93, and it has proved quite helpful. Sometime during the 90's, when we were still living at our old home, he began riding the train to work. And it was in the mid-90's when the subway was extended to the west end of downtown L.A., so he could use that to conveniently get to his office.

Guess I rambled a little too much in my last post. Often times I will reply to someone's post and expand on it, thereby going kinda far from the point. I just like to have a conversation.

And besides, on the version of Firefox that I'm using, it underlines unrecognized words in red (kinda like on MS Word), so in case I do accidentally spell something wrong, I can fix it.

I think he's talking about the spellchecker that this site had, and for those who used it, it found spelling flubs and suggested corrections, much like spellcheckers on word processing programs do.

I seldom used it too. Of course, I've been a great speller for as long as I can remember. There is, however, the occasional word that I don't quite know how to spell, but I eventually find the correct spelling.

My spelling as in my writing, there are always words that throw me off.

Howard checks out this thread frequently, so that comes as no surprise.

However, a guest will never be able to view this thread, because WOtW is not viewable in guest mode.

I always wrote sloppy when I grew up.

My handwriting tends to be sloppy at times, too. That's because I tend to write things down quickly.

When I grew up, I often wrote big, and had slanted handwriting. Not too long ago I looked at some of my writings from when I was 11 and realized this. By age 12 1/2, I was able to get my hand writing down to a reasonable size, because I wrote a lot, and tried to fit as much as possible on to one line.

I used to write with my right hand.

I don't write with either hand. I write with a pen(cil)!

Oh yeah. I first used them sometime in the late 80's. Then in 1990, I got my own set, and most of them are still working well after almost 20 years! The pink (which smells like watermelon) is the only faulty one; it comes out rather pale when I try to color with it.

too bad they don't make fruit scented markers anymore.

Yes they do. Mr Sketch is the only brand that does. Now I think they have a set of 18. In fact, I saw them at OfficeMax when I was last there.

They probably are available.

I had lots of other coloring markers over the years, including a set of fluorescent Crayolas. I first saw them in the early 90's and was attracted to the colors themselves, and I bought a set of them in August 1991. All of them eventually ran out of juice.

I found a link with info on them right here.

Colors included: shocking pink, fiery orange, neon yellow, glowing green, electric blue, and hot magenta.

Yes they had different scents which you can smell but not edible.

Oh, those Mr. Sketch scented markers bring back a lot of memories!  8)  They were a big fad back in the 4th grade.  I think everyone in my class had to have a few in their desk.  ;D  :)

I think it's cool they're still being made.  O0

They would certainly smell better than regular pencils, that's for sure.

Like I said, most of my markers still work like a charm, but others have "died" over time. In the 90's I had a decent-sized collection of them.

I remember scented crayons.

I remember scented crayons.

I don't. All the crayons I've ever used smell like wax, mainly because that's what they're made of.

When I was growing up I had sets of many Crayola crayons. When I was 6 I got a set of 48 crayons, and a year later I got a set of 64 crayons. This was in the late 80's. Sometime around then, I think Crayola released a set of 72 crayons, but I didn't get one of those sets.

An alphabetical list of the Crayola crayons colors can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors

I cannot remember the make of crayons when was young...

...unless it was the British version of Crayola.

Yes,they could wind up eating them.

Well, Crayola was an American company, since they were established in New York City in 1885. Now their headquarters are located in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Not sure how popular they are around the world.

I used to have a set of 64 Crayola crayons when I was a kid....I always kept them at home because they took up too much room in my desk at school.  ;D  I usually kept a 12 or 24 Crayola pack in my desk. 

I don't know anybody who ate crayons, but I did know some kids that liked to melt crayons on the sidewalk when the temperature outside hit well over 100 degrees.  And they made some mess, too.  :P

Hey Sasha, nice to see ya again! :)

I often kept mine at home too. I brought my box of 48 crayons to school when I was in 1st grade, but kept the 64 set at home.

Well naturally it would... the intense heat melts wax. I guess that's what some kids do when their crayons run low or don't want them anymore. Or something...
