I purchased Wii for my husband because he loves exercise and hates video games. He refused to even try it - said it was a waste of money. So I set it up and my daughter and I have been playing it. I could tell he was curious and...

glgcpa Have you done the exercises with Wii bowling? They put obstacles in your path and you have to bowl around the obstacle to get the pin down. It's really challenging.

glgcpa You'll have to figure my ignorance, but what is RPG? I have Madden Football and it's fun, but very hard - at least for me. There's so many options that I forget what I can or how to do it. I guess that's what practice is for. I didn't hook it up to play...

How many of you parents tell your children that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. are not actual people? If so, when do you decide to do this? How to you do it? Do you just let them figure it out themselves?

glgcpa I agree that discussing this with children too young hurts their spirit and isn't advisable. I read an email that floated around years ago, that I found really good about this. I don't remember the specifics, but it basically said that when you do positive...

My daughter's 4th grade teacher read this book to them as a class, they discussed it as a class, did class group projects on it and went and saw the movie. Now, two years later, she has been asked to read the book again,...

glgcpa I agree with what you are saying and I agree it's a good book to read, but as I'm sure you know, better than I, there are many books that children can read, which will teach them the same lessons (good vs. evil, sacrifice, betrayal, etc.). So my question...

glgcpa Oh that game sounds great. I will have to go check out "Rayman Raving Rabbids"! I was wondering how they would incorporate running into this. Yes, I did read the same thing, that with the exercise one that is coming out you will have to purchase a balancing...

glgcpa I'm not sure what you mean by "joystick". There is a Wii handheld, but it comes with a strap so you don't accidentally throw it. I think that in order to break it you'd have to hit it really hard against a wall or some other furniture, in which case I'd be...

glgcpa We brought ours to our family reunion last month and everyone loved it, asked how much it was and how to get one. I was surprised that no one in my family had heard of this game console before! I haven't seen Wario Smooth Moves, I'll have to check it out....

Just in case you haven't heard, Gather is offering $20 Borders gift card when you ask 5 of your friends to join Gather. Gather is a social site, not unlike myLot, where people get together and write about your interests. If...

glgcpa I believe you get the gift card by getting 5 people to join under you. I do not believe it has anything to do with any discussions. I don't believe I've ever participated in a discussion there. I can't even remember when I joined, but I get emails and when I...

glgcpa Thanks for your response winky! I love that picture. Last time we did board him at the vet and it didn't turn out that well. Since we assumed the vet would be the best place we are afraid to think of what would happen at another boarding location. A lot...

glgcpa There ferrets! That is a lot of work. My roommate in college had a ferret and he was into, under and over everything! It's like having a toddler! I don't know of anyone who would want to take care of a dog while I was gone, so I'll keep searching and...

glgcpa I just wish they had even more stores. They have a lot, so I shouldn't be complaining. I had forgotten I signed up for it until I received a payment, then I remembered and now I have a sticky note on my computer screen to remind me to go there first when I'm...

glgcpa Oh I'm sure that he was scared and was hurt and the two combined caused him to be aggressive. I didn't want to try and groom him myself because I was afraid he'd move too much and I might nick him. I just assumed that trained groomers would be use to this and...

glgcpa They would not let me see my dog before I paid, so I had to pay first. However, they did tell me that certain services were not done, so I expected them to adjust the bill accordingly. I didn't realize they did not do that until after I was home and I reviewed...

glgcpa Thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. I think I will ask an obedience school and my agriculture extension for dog groomer recommendations and see what I can find. I agree that it must be extremely hard to groom a dog, which is why I'm hesitant...
