My children have got this new fantastic game that they play

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 1:37 am

My children have got this new fantastic game that they play – at least they think that it is fantastic anyway. They cycle on their kettler tricycles round and round my rotary washing line chasing each other. It sounds pretty harmless and hearing them giggling away makes you think that it is fine. However, I had my washing on there the other day and noticed that they were pulling on it as they were going round. I was not to happy to see my daughter tugging at my Spanx underwear and my son at my Wacoal bras.

I went out and asked them not to but they continued to do it when they thought that I was not watching and so I am afraid that I am going to have to stop them playing the game altogether. It seems a shame to do that but I cannot afford to have my underwear ruined just so that they can have a bit of fun! I guess they will be allowed to play it when the line has no washing on it but just not when it has clothes on there. Hopefully, if I explain to them properly, they will understand and stop doing it.

Pilot Gifts

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 3:52 pm

Shopping for the perfect pilot gifts is easy online. You’ll find great deals on aviation watches like the latest from legendary manufacturer Suunto. The Observer Stainless Wrist-top Computer Watch measures your vertical ascents and descents, and provides you with reliable information on barometric pressure, temperature, and compass direction. The unit also packs in a calendar, clock, dual time display, and a stopwatch so you are never without the necessary tools. It includes an easy-to-read display with an extraordinarily wide viewing angle, an electroluminescent backlight and a user-replaceable battery. The timeless design makes it wearable in any casual situation and its moderate size and stylish design makes them great gifts for pilots of both genders.

Every pilot loves toy planes which make them ideal for gift giving. The Guillows Folding Wing Balsa Glider employs a patented folding mechanism that allows the glider to easily be launched 50 to 60 feet into the air for long, soaring flights. Should the glider catch a breeze at peak altitude, it can take off on a long flight of several hundred feet. At just over 13” long, this toy will be a blast for young and old pilots alike.

Is grand theft auto iv going to come out for ps2. where?

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 1:00 pm

No. PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube are retired ex-generation game consoles. No new (major) games will be released for them, so GTA4 will only be available for Xbox360 and PS3.

Shopping Nitro Cars

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 5:29 am

If you loce car topys, you may want to buy a nitro RC car. When you go out to buy a nitro RC car you will see that many of them come pre-packaged in a box. With these kits you will probably not need to buy anything extra and if you do it will be minimal. However, you may want to buy an RC truck that is separate or that has not been assembled yet. If this is the case then you will need to buy quite a few accessories in order to build. This requires both skills and experience. If you have been working with plastic model car kits for some time then you may already have the majority of things you need. Anybody at the store will likely be able to tell you what you need and what comes with the kit. One thing you will definitely need is a radio control that has a receiver, a nitro engine, and some way that will start the car’s engine. All of these cars run on nitro fuel, so it is important that you have this as well so you can fill your engine up and run your new little car. Be careful that you do not buy regular fuel for your nitro car because it will not work. You must buy proper nitro fuel for your car to work properly. If you are a beginner the easiest thing you can do is buy a nitro car kit that comes with everything you could possibly need.

How long does the life of a PSP fully charged last?

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 12:21 pm
  1. idk i dont play those things
  2. 6 hours i think maximum
  3. go over to system settings and then go to battery, it will tell you, but i think its usualy like 6 hours not sure
  4. uhhh….24??Lol.. i’m not sure…
  5. if you use it for about an hour each day for 3 days it should be dead on the 3rd day, i have one and i use it for an hour mostly, but i don’t know longer than that, but i do know that the battery sucks lol.
  6. depends on what battery u get
    u can buy a battry with good stamina in best buy and circut city
    it will give u 5 more hours than the regular batery
    Normal = 5
    Buy new battery with good stamina = 12 - 15 hours

    depends on what use u give to ur PSP
    playing with a UMD disc would make the PSP run out fo battery fast since the disc reader is working
    but if u just use it ti listen to music watch videos and all of that or thing that dont involve games ur battery would last longer

Is a buffalo head nickel still valuable if you cant see the year on it because it’s so worn out?

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 6:09 am
  1. It is probably still worth at least 5 cents.
  2. Sorry :-( I don’t think so, and to worth more than a quarter, it would have be in perfect condition.
    There are a lot of them still out there, so they aren’t yet that valuable…except for a few years , I cant think of exactly which ones right now and still they are not worth that much, if in good condition around $3.50
  3. The value is based on the date being there! even if just the last 2 numbers are all thats left there, it has value above 5 cents.
  4. Yes it is don’t spend it just keep it .
  5. Not really

To experienced quilters — what are the 10 most essential tools a beginner needs (besides sewing machine)?

Filed under: Games And Recreation — smitha @ 6:18 am

1) Rotary Cutter
2) Olfa Mat (or any other self-healing mat) 18″ x 24″ is a good size
3) Ruler- (Omnigrid is great) a 6″ x 12″ ruler is good
4) A good pair of fabric scissors to use only for cutting fabric. I use Fiskars
5) A good iron (for pressing when you are piecing)
6) Pins. Choose long, thin, sharp (dressmaker’s) pins for piecing and appliqueing. They should also be rustproof.
7) Needles - sharps and betweens for quilting and applique
8) Quilt frame (for hand quilting)
9) Thread. Get the best you can find. For your stash, I recommend: white, tan, or medium gray cotton or cotton-covered polyester sewing thread. Polyester threads can cut cotton fibers.
Natural or off-white cotton or cotton-covered polyester quilting thread to use for hand quilting. Clear, transparent, nylon thread for machine quilting. The thread should be thin and soft, not stiff and wiry like fishing line.
10) A 1/4 foot for your sewing machine. This makes is so much easier to do 1/4 inch seems.

Books: Quilter’s Complete Guide my Marianne Fons and Liz Porter 1993 Oxmoor House, Inc.

Quick and Easy Quiltmaking: 26 projects featuring speedy cutting and piecing methods by Mary Hickey, et. al. That Patchwork Place c. 1992

The Quilter’s Ultimate Visual Guide from A to Z - Hundreds of Tips and Techniques fro Successful Quiltmaking by Ellen Pahl

Also- any books by Alex Anderson. She has a show on HGTV (or used ) called Simply Quilts. She has published books on hand quilting, piecing, etc. She is considered an expert in her field and her books are filled with easy to do projects and easy to understand instructions.

I highly recommend going to quilting classes at a local quilt shop or at a place like JoAnn’s. The teachers know what they are doing and will be happy to show you how to do it the right way. I stated off on my own and ran into problems and became very discouraged. I started taking classes and my skill levels increased and I have completed many nice quilt projects since then.
