Having fun with number 1
349746
Sometimes it is not what you know but by seeing a different prospective you can get new insights or at least reinforce what you know.

Actually I found this presentation quite fun and well organized. I also had fun with the displays or interpretations of the use of the number one and his cohort the number zero. They take the number one chronological history from the day that it moved out of this slime and on the land, through its ancient interactions with man in today's struggle for supremacy over man.

Okay I have to confess my favorite part was when the Egyptian beauty was slinking past the Egyptian workers and Terry Jones said they had an eye for beauty. Then I understood the true meaning of the number 1; or at least an origin of the wolf whistle.

It's true at any point in this presentation they could've broke off into a long dissertation but then you would not have gotten the one-hour overview and the focus. If he was to break off into a different direction or if he ever does a follow-up presentation I would love to see and do something not only on the base to system which in which was necessary for the number one, to Babylonian numerals, a base-60 system. But we cannot have anything.

I think this is a great introductory presentation style and look to other Terry Jones presentations.

Now for something a little more in depth.

I love Richard and his DVD exercise series, I have many of them. However, my favorite is Sweatin' #4.  It is lively and fun with the in-person band, music selections, and vigorous workout.  I like the fact that I really do work up a sweat and feel I have really worked out all major areas of the body. It took me a while to get all the steps down, but it really is not about being perfectjust keep moving and do your best! I don't need a hard wood floor, and can even do everything just fine in stocking feet on the carpet. I wish I had one more of Richard's tapes that had this same level of intensity and fun. Most of them are very good, and I use them, but this is the best one, in my opinion, for the workout that makes sweatin' fun and really does the job! I find songs and routines on different tapes and switch between during the same workout if I feel like going longer.

I actually watched the first movie with my wife (we're late 20s) and this is one of those cartoons that's really fun for everyone.  We are expecting, and I'd be happy to watch this with my future kids or my niece and nephew.

If you haven't seen the first you can see this one anyway, though as usual you'll miss some inside jokes and character development.

I found the humor made me laugh, and the characters enduring, where as some kids movies can be a bit annoying.

Our family really enjoys this game. It is one of the first games we have found that my seven year old can play, and my husband and I still enjoy. It is quick and fun as you assemble words and phrases to make newspaper headlines. Harder to use words are worth more points. Headlines area often silly, and we sound a lot of time laughing. This game also gives us a fun way to help our daughter learn about nouns, verbs, etc. as well as mental arithmetic.

The first one went on nice and easy. I had a little trouble with #2.

I had an original game and wore it out. I enjoy the challenge of playing one on one as well as two or even three on one. It got me to think and plan ahead. I always loved the game and was so pleasantly surprised to find that someone could make a hand-held game of UNO. I do believe it is more than a game and toy. It makes the player think of what is coming and stay alert in order to call UNO when necessary. If you are a person who enjoys a challenge I recommend this highly. It is a good mental exercise for those who would like a stimulus that is not too physical.
Amazon helped me to find this product and I received it in plenty of time to give as a present. I love Amazon.

The first one is my favorite movie.  Love the 2nd too.  It didn't hurt the joy of the first movie and was as fun as the 1st.

I first entered my review three days ago (below the line).  I'd like to add to it, and I'm adding a positive note. I've found the replay value of the game much more fun than I did three days ago. That's because the position of stuff to find does change each time, and I am not bettering my score by much each time. The little puzzles within each turn stay the same each time, though.  The puzzles at the end of each case also change positions, etc., so that sometimes I do worse on them than I did the prior time! In other words, the replay is still a lot of fun. Though it doesn't take that much time to get all the way through all 20 cases, there's enough change each try that replay is still fun.

This game is fun, but I do regret paying $20 for it as it barely lasted two days for playing all the way through!  All but one of the mini-games are very easy for an adult.

It is a good game for just relaxing, though, because search-and-find games don't need computation powers, etc.  I rated it a FIVE for fun and a FOUR overall - that is, what I would call average overall.  Another reviewer recommended another series with more levels, and I think I'll try that next.

That said, I do want to mention that you can challenge yourself in this game to better your time and overall score - so it is good for replay in that way.  You get bonus points for this or that, and you get points deducted for this or that.  Plus you are timed.  So there are several ways to improve your overall scoring in the game.  I retried one of the 20 games, as I had gotten stuck finding one item the first time. The second time through, a few of the items to be found changed, so I still had to "work"!

Happy Reader

I heard one song clip for "Fireflies" and imediately had to buy it.  Since then I've been playing this on the road, while painting, at work, and I've even fallen asleep to it.  It's fun, G-rated, and happy, which is perfect for chasing away the "winter blahs".  It reminds me of Relient K, Delays, and Mika with witty word-play, techno overtones and gentle rock mixed in for fun.

So much fun.  I laughed at Richard Simmons in the 80's.  Now I'm eating humble pie.

The dance class are regular people you can identify and have fun with.  The moves are doable and have enough variety so you don't get bored.  My husband won't work out but he will start singing the songs while I do.  Lots of familiar music for those of us on the tail end of the baby boomers.

So much fun! I am 73 years old. This is a great way to keep your mind active. We don't play it exactly as rules state. It can be played teams or just 2 people. One person chooses a category and keeps saying words till time runs out, then passes to other team/person. It reminds me of the game show Pyramid.

I am still in the middle of the game but I'm having a great time so far!  It's just challenging enough (not frustrating like a lot of games).  It's interesting, not too hard and good scary fun!  Good to play on a rainy night.

Oh my gosh! I love this one more than the first time Turbo Toilet came on the scene. Here Melvin is placed in Harold and George's shoes and realizes the grass isn't greener on the other side. Mr. Krupp is thwarted again by George and Harold thanks to Melvin's invention and we see Harold being the more pensive one as George wants to be mischievous.

When we have the little interlude with Timmy and his grandma what a hoot. This whole book is a ball of fun entertainment. I laughed so hard I cried. George and Harold keep bringing fun and levity into the stories with their antics. The end with the cross sulu pterodactyl creatures and George's reaction to much. Oh and the teachers' dream responses to George and Harold a stitch in the side laugh.

If you are looking for a getaway from life or trying to find a way for your children to enjoy a book Captain Underpants is it. They are light and fun but so entertaining. George and Harold will crack you up. I read my niece one and now she is hooked and getting her friends hooked as well. The school librarian for her school can't keep them on the shelf! This latest adventure is just as fun and exciting. I didn't think I would see Turbo toilet again but man did he have a beef. And poor Melvin being flushed in Turbo toilet ewwww.....

A great fun entertaining book that has George and Harold coming back from the future to battle Turbo toilet and Mr. Krupp..

I find Gilad's workout a lot of fun, and I feel better after each workout.  The workout is so much fun that you will be glad you did one.

It will give you some chuckles. The story goes "off in different directions" but the characters are fun! This is #1 and I am currently reading #2 (Polished Off).

I used to do 1,000 piece puzzles but now I stick to 500 pieces as I like to have fun as well as challenge myself. This puzzle was FUN!  Loved the artwork, detail, and most of all, the pices were easy to fit together... no guess work wondering if you have pieced it together properly like some of the Buffalo Puzzles I have encountered
