jbgs2 says "Takes practice." about Nintendo Wii - Olympic Games

jbgs2 — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:12:47 GMT

Wii's Mario and Sonic Olympic Games video game is not easy to learn. I am an adult, 35 years old, and am having difficulty learning how to play the games. It takes lots of coordination and accuracy. Not recommended for children under 10.

On a happy note, the graphics are way cool! Once I get the hang of this game, I am sure I will enjoy it. But for now, I play a little bit, get disgusted, take a break (like a day), and try again.

jbgs2 says "Tug of war favorite." about Booda Bone X-Large Multi-Color Rope Dog Toy

The Booda Bone, or any similar-style pull toy, is a great flosser for your dog. You can play tug of war with your dog, or if you have two dogs, they can pull each other.

Depending on the size of your dog, these pull toys may only last one month. Eventually, they fall apart and must be thrown out. The strings come apart from the pull toy and end up all over your house.

Also, be aware that if you have the type of dog who would love to chew on it, it probably should be taken away when you are not watching. My dog would swallow the strings (and you know where they would come out of) (one time a string was half-way out).

jbgs2 says "Captivating..." about The Da Vinci Code

Angels and Demons is connected with The Da Vinci Code. If you have read and loved one, I am sure you will enjoy the other.

Whenever religion comes into the discussion, it usually turns ugly. It is a controversial subject, and this book really makes you question what the story of Jesus is as you have been brought up believing, and what are the truths. How much truth and history was hidden? I have not been the same since reading these books.

jbgs2 says "True, or just Dan's imagination?" about Angels and Demons

I had trouble getting sleep! I was hooked from the first chapter.

This book connects with Dan Brown's other read, "The DaVinci Code". If you like one, you will like the other.

This book makes you question how much of religious history has been hidden. I understand that this is supposed to be a fiction novel, but the vivid detail and research that went into writing this book makes me question if much of it isn't true.

jbgs2 says "Gets you up off the couch." about Nintendo Wii Console

The Nintendo Wii console is great for any age group. Even the very young who have difficulty playing the games are able to create an online person, called a Mii, who looks like them. They can even make them walk around.

I like the Wii sports which came with my console. You can bowl, play tennis, golf...and it is lots of fun. You can even challenge yourself.
