For dd's first tooth the tooth fairy left a brand new spin brush (that she had been wanting), kid flossers, new Kids mouthwash (Plax) and two gold coins. One gold dollar coin has been left for every tooth since-except for one time when the tooth fairy left two coins to stir things up a bit. DD believes the tooth fairy takes the teeth to build her castle, so that tooth was a "special" one the fairy had been waiting for

Hey Julie, check this is out: instructions. Just click view on any one of the bionicles and you can check to see how complicated they are. One other thing I wanted to mention about legos, you know your son and know what he is capable of, but when it comes to the sets don't underestimate him. Caleb was about the same age when he begged and begged for one of the larger Star Wars sets. We kept putting it off because we figured he was too old, but finally for Christmas we went ahead and bought it for him, thinking if he got stuck dad could help him. The day he opened it up, he disappeared into his bedroom and we didn't see him for about 3 hours. Then he came out holding this ship, all put together. He was so proud of himself. If you'd asked me I'd have said there was no way he could make it himself, but the instructions were fairly easy to follow (and if I remember right, they're not even written instructions, just picture after picture of the peices you put together.)

Oh, also theres another brand (maybe k'nex? I'll check on that next time I run to walmart.) There was one set that was a few hundred peices, but it wasn't one large thing to build it was maybe 16 small ones. Came with an instruction booklet that had all the instructions for all of them. He enjoyed that one too.

One of his favorite sites is Legos. They have a bunch of games to play that your son might like.

Kaykay, we did the $5 for the first tooth, $1 for everyone thereafter. The only time either got more money was the one time the toothfairy forgot to stop by for Dakota. Then she got a note on special stationary explaining the toothfairy had got stuck and another $5. The tooth fairy felt horrible for that one!

Ok, Julie, I checked Walmart. They have a K'nex set (I'll check their site in a minute and see if they have any listed for you cuz they are a bit different than legos) that has 253 peices and comes with an instruction bookelet for 20 different projects. Didn't look like they had more than 20 peices each and made things like a car, a plane, etc. K'nex If you click the picture of the little box it comes in on the left hand side of the page you can see the front of the box close up. They also have sets for 30 and 50 models.

LOL Julie, you're welcome. I know more about Legos, K'nex, magnetix (which are totally cool!) than I ever wanted to. They're the one thing that Caleb will spend hours playing with. He loves to build the sets, then takes em apart and tosses the legos in a bucket, and then starts building things he makes up, lol. He's quite creative with them!

kady, i found this through google:

http://leslie.harpold.com/presents/000696demystifying_diet_cokes.html

--------------------------

this part "sort of" answers your question. (?)

Coca Cola Zero - Sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium., the reason this is different than Diet Coke is Coca Cola Zero is a sugar free version of the Classic Coke formulation. In other words, this is meant to be a sugar free version of the red cans of Coke you know and may or may not love. It has a redder, deeper color close to the color of Classic Coke and tastes far less like a diet soda (by many accounts) than Diet Coke.

I have the dumbest question of all..... How close does a fly get to the cieling, before he turns upside down to land on it? Can a fly really fly inverted?

For the first part of your question, scientifically I don't know, but in observing a fly there doesn't seem to be any problem for it to fly in any direction at will. As far as a fly moving inverted, it may have the ability due to the number and type of its wings. The term fly is applied to such non-Diptera as the butterfly, dragonfly, mayfly, and stone fly. Unlike these and other insects, true flies have a single pair of membranous forewings, with knob-shaped vestigial wings instead of hind wings. The vestigial wings are called halteres and are used as balancing organs. (Kind of like the balancing rotor on the back of a helicopter.)

Sidenote: When you try to swat a fly it jumps - sometimes backwards - before it flies, making it harder to catch.

Where can I get one of these?



(It is a magnet that is screwed into our desk that keeps the pullout part up. If that makes sense..) The one on the other side fell out and is nowherer to be found and the dang thing won't stay up with just the one magnet.

Julie, You should be able to find them in the hardware department of Wal-Mart or any hardware store.

Question:
Ok, so I am looking for the game "The settlers of Catan", but not the board game. I want the computer game and I want to puchase a hard copy of it, although I cannot find it in any stores or online or anything. I can download it from MSN, EA or Yahoo games, but, I am more comfortable having the hard copy. If anyone can help me find this or knows where I can get it, I'd appreciate it!

Escapee - did you try eBay? Seriously, I've found ANCIENT software there that I was looking for. They also have a "Looking for..." area, where you can post that you are looking for something.

Escapee-

Is this the game that you are talking about? http://games.bigalgames.com/game.htm?code=110252700&RefId=19910072

If you order the full version, you can pick between online download or CD version which will be sent to you.

If this isn't it, like Eeyore mentioned, EBay has tons of software that has been discontinued.

Hussy , I am moving your question over here in hopes for a response:

<Sunday, October 16, 2005 - 4:05 am
I don't know where to post this so I am trying here. My mom taught me how to do ceramics when I was younger. We are looking to get back in to it. I need a hobby and I was pretty good at painting these. So I wanted to know if anyone knows of a place near Cumming , Georgia where i might be able to buy some pieces to paint... thanks Cin (Hussy)>

Hussy, I did a Yahoo Yellow Pages Search for Ceramics and Pottery in your area and found THESE. Hope that helps you a little. :-)
