    @flower said in Go to the doctor?: I'm definitely a preventive-care person. I generally go for a regular check-up every six months to a year, depending on my health needs. I've learned that early detection of possible concerns has a huge, positive effect on my well-being. I try to do this as well. I see my primary care doctor at least every six months.....so I can talk to her about stuff if there is anything that is on my mind. It's nice to be able to do that before something becomes a problem.

    I've forgot that I've used Walmart before but it's extremely rare. I've normally stuck with Amazon, unless I'm buying books. Then I'll use Books-a-million.

    I like mostly rock and metal type music. Bands like Rammstein, Lacuna Coil and Scarlet Sins are my favorite.

    My husband's grandmother told us that if you can pay your rent/mortgage with one week's worth of pay then you can make it (financially speaking). So far, that piece of advice has worked for us.

    There is a lot of genres I can deal with except for non-fiction. The only time I deal with non-fiction is if I decide to read someone's autobiography.

    That's not something I keep up with. The only tech I keep up with is the next Nintendo console they're producing and I'm usually the last person to find out about it.

    There is a couple of characters from the Harry Potter series that I wouldn't mind having dinner with. But if we're talking about real people instead, then there is a couple of authors I wouldn't mind having dinner with. Darcy Coates is one that comes to mind.

    I've always considered myself a dog person. However, I have now found myself with my first cat at the moment. I wasn't looking for a cat when my hubby and I found him. I'm a firm believer that he picked us and not the other way around. I'm kind of liking the idea of being a cat person since I've gotten this cat.

    I don't go to the theater much anymore unless my hubby and I are going with my parents to see something.

    Experts are saying that in 10 years AI should be able to do anything a human can. Which is kind of scary to think about. I do think some jobs will be replaced by AI, but there's always going to be the need for the human touch I believe. I know people were thinking that computers were going to take away all the jobs back when they were still somewhat new. I suppose the cycle is repeating itself!

    PC gaming is my jam! The customized features are one of the reasons why I enjoy PC gaming. Consoles are more convenient but I still value the advantages of PC gaming

    In my opinion J.R.R. Tolkien stands at the top of my favorite authors list. Neither his creative world construction nor his epic tales with deep historical and mythological aspects matches any other writer. His storytelling really captures my attention.

    @1stop This is a big one that I believe kids would learn so much from. There's a lot of pressure on these kids already with tests, social pressures, and from other kids that I think learning just a little bit more about how to navigate these skills. It would be a better atmosphere within schools in a very short time.
