Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 We don't have the play, rewind, etc., at our house. About once a week we go through a major rewind session because nothing gets rewound. However, right before we moved, came into my room and said " Mama come here, we decorated! " . And they did. They pulled the tape out of about 5 movies and had it strung all over their playroom. And they were so proud!

It's amazing how much violence is in these Disney movies. Now here is what scares me.....I'm so afraid he will begin to mimic some of the action in these films. Last week he got on top of the bleachers that were folded and started to jump. His daycare provider almost had a heart attack. I'm sure we are going to hear from alot more parents on this.

UGH. loves to go through the cabinet and take out the videos that she want to watch, this could be anything from animated Disney to something like Jurrasic Park or and Hooch (hey she likes Hooch, hehe) but she then takes all these videos out of their jackets and stacks them up on the tv. sometimes it's two big stacks of about 10 each. she then starts to watch them. Most of the time she doesnt' bother with the rewinding but just starts the next. LOL but with Grinch she's been rewinding it. also took her to see Monsters last sun. for her birthday and she really liked that (so did , hehe) . But I had not had these big stacks of videos sitting on my tv for a month or so now and last weekend on suddenly appeared. I looked at and said, what are all those movies doing on the tv?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 I know I'm taking this a little off topic, but I could use your advice Christmas shopping for Grandma. I want to give her email and web access but keep it simple. (She tinkers too much with system settings on her computer! I should never have told her to enroll in a computer class. She learned just enough to be dangerous! LOL) Do any of you have experience with MSN WebTV or AOL WebTV? How do they compare in ease of use? what you can access using their service? accessibility to tech support? I will make the 2000 mile round trip to set it up for her, but after that, at $25 per month, I think they should take care of it for her ;-) Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Glad I don't have to shop much. I have been trying to make my gifts but can only do so much a day. I am hurting again and feel so terribly exhausted. My husband is going to help me tonight bake a last batch of cookies. He does all the hard work and I make a good supervisor. Happy Holidays Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
