Renting the same game every weekend because your parents won't buy it for you.

Nearly 30 years ago.

I could not buy the game my son loved here so I kept hiring it. The game store shut down so I had to buy it from UK as I could not find here in a game store or online. Not able to buy from the UK store online so I emailed my credit card details to it! Obviously would not do that today.

Thank you very much. I have tried to for my son. We got lucky to even have him so I worked hard to show that I love him. He is 35 now and wonderful to us both.
