This is from the 60s and it very clearly shows the name as "Lincoln Logs"

Oh yeah 100%. I actually bought a tote of them a few years ago from a second hand store. I was thrilled because it's a couple sets all thrown together. There's a castle with a catapult and boulders, a couple frontier buildings, bits of another set

They absolutely smell the same as they did many decades ago when I had some as a kid

Because grey is a fantastic color, and grey hair is just another color to dye it. Plenty of people dye their hair natural colors, too, not just to cover up greys

And plenty of people with grey/white hair enjoy and love it

Wait , WHAT?? that's one of my favorite movies and I've seen it a million times. I know exactly what scene and pirate you're referring to

From https://screenrant.com/hook-movie-glenn-close-cameo-pirate/

"Glenn Close isn’t the only famous face that can list a cameo in Hook on her résumé. Musicians David Crosby and Jimmy Buffett also appear as members of Hook’s crew, as does boxer and Rocky star Tony Burton. Elsewhere in Hook, stars including actress Carrie Fisher, director George Lucas and musician Phil Collins also make brief cameos."

I had no idea!! I'll have to give it another watch when I get home!

Here's a long video of her using the broom to brush different parts of her body

https://youtu.be/3rX1dx8HpL0

She's using it to reach parts of her body otherwise unreachable, even delicate places like under her tail and around her udder

I looked at the channel; this guy has found his niche and I very much approve. I listened to a little bit but I can't really listen - my partner is asleep next to me. What I heard of the linked was fun and I'd like to enjoy more, but I'm trying not to laugh at these titles alone:

Ooooh this is something I don't know about! I'm guessing c3, c4 are classes and how things photosynthesize differently. Can you direct me to some reading materials?

Does it have anything to do with how some succulents turn red with sun stress?

I have a copy still and was thinking of firing up the ps3 to give the full flashback experience

I couldn't find it so I drew myself holding the game in lieu. If I find the game I'll make an update (which now I need to go find it because I know I have it)

Ok, so I was like "I bet it's with the ps3" but I already drew the picture so here's the photo:

As a kid I'd 100% dilute half and half or cream and use that

Only reason I don't anymore is because I can't do dairy

I tried the site; it must not like Firefox. But I grabbed the app! I love the variety, I'm overwhelmed with choices. Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate ways of broadening my horizons

I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

When I got it, my family said it didn't work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like "sure you can have it"

It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don't remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn't factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

I really liked that phone for sure. I'm sure it's a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

I've currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one's a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It's got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven't looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I'm leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today's standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise

I had a Nexus that I got as a hand me down. It had a ball with customizable colors

The next one I had after that had an led you could customize for different types of notifications

 

The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

 

2 adults and 1 younger teen

We're going on a two week road trip that'll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination

I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out

I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?

We've all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I'm looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I'd need to do to use it where there's no internet? I haven't used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities

We adults have ps5s. Most likely won't bring one. I've seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?

And making sure we've got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well

I'm really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips

Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I'm petrified of flying in the current state of the US

Since we HAVE to make this trip we're trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we'll be present. But there's going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
