Why what? Why do I use it to my advantage? Why do people think me a liar?
People think me a lair because I have done may things they can't fathom someone like me doing, and I don't act in ways that line up with those accomplishments or events. I won't play roles, and it makes it difficult for people to take me seriously when I speak. I don't act like I was in the military, even though I was. I don't act like I have an education, even though I do. I don't act like the type of guy who could ever have a relationship with a woman even though I've been married twice. I don't act like people expect me to, and I refuse to.

Video games did not really exist in my childhood... though such things were being developed from before I was born, they were unwieldy and impractical. We had pinball and arcade games, though. I was not too keen on pinball, but I was a Q-Bert champion

Well a rocket isn't fueled by oxygen like a fire that needs oxygen to burn.
Like many people, you may be under the impression that the lunar phases are the result of the earth's shadow on the moon. This is incorrect. It is very unusual for the earth, sun and moon to be aligned in both vertical and horizontal planes and it is only then that the earth's shadow impinges on the moon, resulting in an eclipse. The phases are actually a result of what portion of the moon's lit hemisphere we can see depending the relative angle of the sun to the side of the moon that faces us. This also explains why lunar eclipses only occur when the moon is full.

I didn't play much. When I was a kid, the ps1 was out, and game boys, in the 90's. I played football and outside making dens in trees most of the time though, and sometimes with a friend who lived up the road.
Heh, thanks. Yeah, when my brothers and sisters and I were kids, we roamed the neighborhood and played with our peers and each other all through the summer, having no adult supervision and only needing to be home by dark. We walked everywhere to do what we wanted, whether it was playing in the park, with our friends, or going swimming, which we also did a lot. In the winter it was the same except with snow and ice. We skated a lot. Of course there were the times we were driven to family functions and dinners and picnics and weekends away, both in summer and winter, with chains on the tires, and chamber pots. Haha I kid you not. Many of our relatives lived in the country and had outhouses, but in the winter, you were not expected to tramp through the hip-high snow in the middle of the night. Now they don't even get that much snow. I say "they" because my childhood was in Ontario, where winters were epic. I moved away forty years ago I climbed trees, too!

Last year, with college, I had to do some work experience thing and I did it in my old primary school. It was sad, and TOTALLY differnt to when I was that age. My 1st video games thing I got at like 11 or 12 I think, but still played outside mostly. Today it's TOTALLY different. Children who are like 5, 6 years old. They get their treat time by playing educational games on ipads, and you just think... what has the world come to? children should be outside playing, learning stuff and developing the natural way, not looking like they're possessed by technology... like, they're 5 and 6 year old children, and this is how they are today. Madness.
I often think I was born in the wrong age and should have had childhoods more like which you had
also just seems like much more of a peaceful and happier time to live in than now. That sounds really nice
have you lived in Canada all your life? I have some relatives who also live in Canada in Victoria there although, I have only ever seen them once. They come here to the UK, I haven't been to Canada... yet lol! I have visited New York and Boston in America and I have visited Italy and Ireland a couple of times, but that's all until I get to travel more in the future
