It's not "Trees Я Us"
I'm trying to find a video game by an independent developer, c. mid/late 2000s. If I remember correctly, it had a generic single-word title that (as far as I knew) had nothing to do with the scenario involved. The scenario: you colonize planets by planting trees. Starting on a home planet, trees are planted that are either offensive or defensive. The offensive trees produce seeds that fly off into space, and either find vacant planets or (more likely) do battle with other seeds of the defensive type and (hopefully) overpower them; surviving seed(s) being planted to produce trees; then send over seeds to plant defensive trees -- and so on -- until you colonize the entire (system? galaxy? universe?). Does this sound familiar to anybody? I think it won some sort of prestigious award. 107.15.157.44 (talk) 05:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes! Thanks!  (it was "Dyson" then ... isn't that a vacuum company? ) —107.15.157.44 (talk) 05:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC) . . . P.s:   I was unaware of the Dyson tree concept.
 * See also stage tree, heh. 2601:640:108:A5F5:F823:7F80:84B2:C54D (talk) 05:56, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Ruby Ramirez
I am trying to find an adult size costume of Ruby Ramirez. She is from the Rusty Rivets TV show for children. We have a Rusty costume but our son wants his mother to be Ruby, I have searched the internet but have had no luck. Thanks from the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.198.187.35 (talk) 11:01, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * When I had kids this age the usual tactic was to hit the charity shops rather than look for a pre-existing kit. As far as I can see the key elements you need are a Rosie-the riveter style bandanna similar to this one, blue jeans, a toolbelt and green and white long sleeved t-shirt.  I think that your biggest problem may be sourcing the green body/white sleeved shirt, for which you may have to resort to getting-second hand green and white shirts and stitching the sleeves from one onto the other (should be doable even if your needlecraft skills are as bad as mine). Once you've done that find a download of the logo, print it onto a fabric transfer like this one and iron it onto the shirt.  The toolbelt you can perhaps fake up from an old red belt and bag. Complete the ensemble with red trainers. If you get your son involved with this you'll probably find that it's great fun. Blakk  and ekka 10:03, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
