jehovah__jireh30 @jehovah__jireh30 (8) • United States 7 Mar 07

Is it easy to learn how to ski? My 6 year old daughter wants to go skiing. I do not know how to ski so I can not teach her. Is this easy for a child to learn? When is a good age for them to start? What should we know before...

flitcsa I think they approach it a lot more enthusiastically than adults do ... we tend to be a lot more afraid of getting hurt or looking stupid than kids do. I think that if it's something she wants to try, and you can afford it, it would certainly be something...

Second Life. Have any of you played it?

juliemarie84 @juliemarie84 (642) • United States 3 Mar 07

I was looking up on the game Second Life. It looks like one of those games I'd probably get addicted so I kind of steered clear of it. Do any of you play it? Do you download the game off the site? What are the fees in the game? It...

What do you think about the new version of Windows: VISTA. I think it is great, but I don't know if I should buy it because I don't know if my computer is prepared. What do you think?
