Ajj13 says "Love this game! Old favorite!" about Milton Bradley The Game of Life

Ajj13 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:01:44 GMT

The Game of Life was a favorite of mine as a child. In this game, you spin a wheel, move spaces and go through various phases in life from getting a career to having a baby, to retiring. The winner is the one with the most money at the end of the game.

It's a simple game. It doesn't last too long, though it's a not a fast-paced game either. There are chances to "gamble" which as a kid I always loved doing and spinning the wheel. The little pegs that you place in your cars was another personal favorite.

I was a little bummed I have to say to find that the game was updated with more modern careers and salaries. The new version of the game has "career cards" and the old one did not. I enjoy the old version better, but maybe that's just the traditionalist in me.

Kids love spinning the wheel and putting little pegs for people in the cars. As long as they can count money, it's an easy enough game to teach. It will keep them entertained, particularly on days when they cannot go...

Ajj13 says "Great Dry Erase Board!!" about Board Dudes Magnetic Dry Erase Board Value Pack, 24 x 36 Inches

Ajj13 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:44:05 GMT

I went through a lot of dry erase boards in college. That was what feels like a long time ago. So when my family needed a central area to leave messages, I was surprised at all of the choices out there. I went through a few that turned out to be "not so good" choices and then I found Board Dudes Magnetic Dry Erase Board. This board has lasted a long time. It is simple to clean and easy to write on. The magnets work great. The accessories that come with it such as the eraser and the pens are wonderful. I have never had a hard time getting the ink off. They even sell an eraser that has magnets in it so you don't loose it. We have upgraded to this eraser for convenience. They also sell pens with magnets, but we like having a variety of colors so we bought the variety pen pack. The board has hung up well, isn't too conspicuous amongst our kitchen and works well for everyone. I love the magnetic feature so I can leave coupons, photos or notes attached to the board.

Ajj13 says "Timeless Toy!" about Tupperware Shape O Ball

Ajj13 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:11:05 GMT

I had the Tupperware Shape O Ball as a kid and loved it. As I grew up, I hunted around for this ball, completely surprised to find out it was made by Tupperware.

Now, I give this as a gift to all of my friends with young children. It is sturdy and has helped up to be passed on from child to child. It is a simple concept but the Tupperware Shape O Ball seems to really entertain the children. It is a simple shape that is easy for small children to hold and the blocks are sturdy enough for those small hands. It is easily washable. The bright, primary colors seem to attract the eyes of small children. It is a toy that can keep small children entertained for longer periods of time. They also seem to enjoy the sound the ball makes once the blocks are inside.

The only downfall of the Tupperware Shape O Ball is the cost. But I will say that it is a bit pricey but the ball is made of quality materials and will last you several generations.

Ajj13 says "Our most played Wii game!!!" about Smarty Pants for Nintendo Wii

Ajj13 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:43:34 GMT

Smarty Pants was the first game we bought for our Wii besides the Wii Sports pack to get the extra controller. We played it over and over again when we first bought it a year ago and we are still playing it today. I definately give the game five stars because it is our most played game, both just the family and when we have friends over. It's good to play with kids but all the adults also enjoy playing together at parties and other get togethers.

The game allows you to tell it how old you are so it can figure out the difficulty level of questions to ask. And it seems pretty good at picking questions that fall into age appropriate categories. This game took no time to figure out how to play. Even after having it for over a year, I haven't recognized any repeat questions.

The game is silly enough to keep little ones amused but not too silly as to turn off the adults. We always enjoy seeing who is the smarty pants in our house!

Ajj13 says "Great fun - if you can find a good deal" about Nintendo - Wii Console

Ajj13 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:09:51 GMT

The Nintendo Wii was one of those "have to haves" in my house and I caved last holiday season when we got a good deal. Everyone in the house seems to enjoy it, but after witnessing my little brother fall prey to the video game beast, video game time is quite limited in my house. It is nice that there are fun games that the whole family can compete and play along with each other in.

We enjoy the games that came with the Wii as well as have purchased others. We have the Wii Fit board as well. Everyone in the house seems to be able to understand how to work the machine and follow directions. If we get bored of sports games, it is nice to be able to play some of the trivia games that are suitable for younger ones as well as adults.

I was surprised at how good the graphics are but disappointed that the machine only came with one controller when you need at least two to play with only one other person. So it seems that there were a lot of hidden costs with this game. But all in all,...

Ajj13 says "Don't leave home without it" about ChapStick Lip Moisture SPF-15

Ajj13 — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:52:59 GMT

One of my favorite products by far is ChapStick Lip Moisture SPF-15. I stumbled upon this product years ago in college and I have been a faithful buyer ever since. Even when something new catches my eye, I'll try it and then go back to ChapStick Lip Moisture SPF-15.

When I wear lipstick or colored lip gloss, which mind you is rare, I will still apply this first. It isn't too heavy and lasts for hours. My lips always feel better once it is applied. It is strong enough to tackle the harshness of winter and light enough to work perfectly during the summer at the beach. It doesn't take a lot to cover your lips and doesn't feel waxy or build up.

Another thing I like about ChapStick Lip Moisture is that it doesn't have a smell or flavor. I don't care for the smell of original chapstick and I hate flavored lip glosses. ChapStick Lip Moisture is unscented and pretty much tastes like nothing. So if you do happen to lick your lips, you aren't disgusted.

Like I said, I have been...

Jolie says "buyuggsboot.net is a scam! Ugg Boots from China that are fake." about www.buyuggsboot.net

Jolie — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:22:46 GMT

Background on Buyuggsboot.net

A friend of mine at Viewpoints recently passed along a site called www.buyuggsboot.net. She found it online. www.buyuggsboot.net is a web site that sells all styles of Ugg Boots at discounted prices.

We werent certain if www.buyuggsboot.net were the real or not. But after a thorough review of the site, we thought it was legit. Buyuggsboot.net looks like a reasonable reseller of Ugg Boots. The page is designed well, the pictures look authentic and they make claim to having the real deal. They also consistently site throughout the web site having customer satisfaction commitments.

To add to the thought it was authentic, the pricing seemed good but not amazing. As you probably know a typical pair of Ugg Boots cost about $110. On Buyuggsboot.net the cost was $89.00- approximately a $20 savings. Seemed like a good deal, but they werent so cheap that I thought it could be scam. As an aside, last year Nordstrom had a similiar sale on Ugg boots so the pricing seemed...
