...did you tell your little snack-hog neighbor that she can only have one slice or did she the whole pizza by herself? :)

Wow Des,I don't know how you do it,.just thinking about all that makes me tired..

I used to do stuff like that a lot, though son didn't like crafting so we did other things.. Lots of swimming in the summer, and we would also have pizza making parties...

I wonder if he even remembers any of it?

Des, you're a wonderful mom. Just wait til they are teenagers. That's when the real test starts. I know I gave my mom and dad hell as a teen.

After I build my gaming PC I am gonna get a USB SNES controller for my SNES emulator. :)

@Recon so why don't you like the new xbox? What's different about it?
We were going to buy it when it came out but is it not worth it?

1 needing Kinect for the console to work
2 Fees for playing used games let alone the online pass code which means people can't borrow games unless they wanna pay money
3 needing to be online one time a day

1 I am not sold on Kinect so I don't want it let alone needing it for the console to work
2 I like buying my games used it saves me money or having my little brother bring his game over for us to play on my console. Which means if both me and him get the One, then he can't do that.
3 I don't always feel like turning my console on and connecting to the internet every single day.

To top things off the overall outer design of the console and that of the controller doesn't appeal to me.

The 3 main reasons I listed are are what is going to keep me from buying it, mainly reason 2. Sorry but microsoft has become money hungry, and only give 2 fucks about making the extra dollar, not the gamer. Sometimes people borrow friends' games to try them out before deciding to buy them, and with this people can no longer do that.

Awesome my H is about to read this.Thanks for the info :))

Wow, I'm out of it.. Gina I read your post that said, "awesome, my h is about to read this" and I was looking for awesomeself's post..

It took me a few times of scrolling back and forth before I realized what you meant...

Sure thing gina :]

LOL sorry viv

@angel, the whole used game thing is why it won't work for us.That's all we buy unless it's a game we just can't wait for and the fact that they are so expensive.

I really hate it when I order a Dr. Pepper and they give me a Coke! I only drink one a day, please don't mess it up!

i used to be a one a day diet dr pepper drinker, but i've kicked the habit.
now i have one every 6 months.

okie--------she had a couple slices of pizza and a bag of popcorn and then when i opened up a drawer for scissors she saw gum and immediately said, "ooh! can i have some gum?" i just told her no, she had already had enough treats.

when we did the flowers i told them all they could pick 2 to make sure everyone had enough and then if there was more they could have more. she had 5 in hers. i told her, "sweetie, you are only supposed to have 2 so that we are sure there is enough for everyone." she looks at hers and says, "oh. well, mine is already finished, so i am going to leave it like this." as soon as she walked out of the room another mom and good friend of mine stood up and pulled three of them out and says, "sorry. i have no tolerance for greed." and we took the other flowers back down for the other kids.

little irritating, but not enough to ruin our fun! lots of the kids accidentally took more flowers than they were supposed to because they were so excited. we just had to remind them to limit it to 2, pick their favorite colors to keep, and then put the others back.

Des, she seems like a snot-nosed, greedy-ass, foul-mouthed, disrespecting, selfish, trouble-making, devilish little hellion. But outside of that, I'm sure she's a delight.

Recon, you know....one company started the charge for baggage fees, and now almost all do it. Just like one company started the ATM fees, and now almost all do it. Just saying, Microsoft may have started a trend that the other big two might join in on. It's a conspiracy.
