To be honest I wish I could be cheery and gay (using the "dated" definition of the word) all the time, except it's like an unspoken law or something that kindness never sticks when around immediate family. It works for everyone else though
That happened when my family and I were trying to watch "It's a Wonderful Life." I got the disc at a local thrift store and it's a double-sided disc. It was scratched to the sky and back and we had to skip whole chapters because they wouldn't play. I still got to see most of the movie, though, and it was great!
