Have people gone over the top with birthday parties and christmas gifts?




xtra9009


Special entertainment ,tonsof food, hundreds of dollars on each kid for christmas. Then you have so many toys you can't even store them.


Answer
yes too much.

i was raised one gift on christmas from santa and one from my parents (a few more from extended family), and one gift on my birthday...

when i turned about 13 i decided i wanted whatever money my parents planed to spend on me that year for christmas to be turned into a donation to some kind of fund(cancer research etc.)

i find kids want too much because they get so much

Top Ten (silly) reasons kids like to take piano lessons?







I'm thinking along the lines of:

"Number one reason why kids love to take piano lessons is that they get to drive their family crazy by playing the same song over, and over and over"

Any more ideas? :)



Answer
i like to learn christmas songs in the middle of summer and then play them all the time, really loud so everyone can hear, or I try to play piano with my toes/upside down/elbows, or get my toys to play the piano. Or i cross my hands over so the left hand is played higher and the right hand is played lower. Well, my parents say I need to play the piano more, what do they expect? =/

Has your kids toys ever went off by themselves?

Q. I'm a little parnoid because the house we lived in before was haunted for those who believe me. Now were living in a apartment & this 1 particular toy(riding toy) keeps going off during the night by itself. How could this happen? AND has your kids toys ever done the same thing?


Answer
Oh yes this has happened a lot. Very creepy.

But there are a few reasons for this.

My son got a remote control air plane when he was little. It was preschool type toy and he would hold the controls like a steering wheel and drive the plane around the house.

We noticed sometimes while watching tv the airplane would make noises when no one was near it. It would beep, wheels would turn & so on. Other times the tv would flicker too or get static on it.

Turned out that the remote for the airplane and our tv remote were on the same what is it called frequency. My husband discovered this himself. He's an electronic engineer.

Another time in our old house during the middle of the night we'd hear a preschool Mr. Potato head game going off by itself. We'd hear out of the blue "Opps, I lost all my parts can you help me?" lol Drove us crazy! The toy didn't have an off button & would time out making itself go to sleep. It would go on & off by itself often. At first thought it was our dog or even our daughter sneaking out at night bumping it. But we'd put it on top of the tv stand out of reach and it would still do it!

My daughter loaned the toy to our neighbor one weekend. Late one night around 11pm our neighbor knocked on the door in his robe. He looked tired and had the game saying it would shut up. lol

Turns out it was the batteries were low. We found replacing them more often when the screen dimmed it stopped doing it.

We've had other toys too that do this. Toys that light up and play music are creepy. We had a stuffed bear that would start to play Twinkle Twinkle little star on it's own.

I do believe in haunted houses. I grew up in Columbus, MS. I saw it profile on tv a few years ago as one of the most "Haunted towns in MS." Dateline or Primetime profiled it. I grew up being one of the kids in the victorian houses for tour groups. We'd make butter, decorate a christmas tree, sew and stuff like that while tour groups walked by.

All the homes in the area were haunted. My best friend & I often changed clothes in a room where a baby had died. You would see the form of the baby on the feather bed. The maid would fix the bed before tours and sometimes while standing there changing we'd see the form appear by itself. It was a high bed so we thought maybe something was pulling on it from under it but that never happened.

I grew up in an area where part of civil war took place. Ditches were dug all through out neighborhood. They were ditches the soldiers would hid behind while they fought against the north. Plus many indians died in the area too. We had a famous trial near us & as you walked through the woods trees marked in red paint were where indians had been buried. Very creep.

My 14yr old says we have ghosts in the house. We have an old piano from the mid 1800s. My daughter says she often sees a little girl around 10 sitting near it at night. The idea scares me to death. lol

I've often smelled and felt my grandfather's presence. I smell Old Spice & Peppermints.

Now I don't believe ghost can move things or touch things. Ghosts are mentioned in the bible after Jesus dies and he is seen in ghost form. http://www.jesusreligion.com/ghosts_bible.html Ghosts are more the spirit that moves our human body. We pass easily from Heaven to Earth.

My brother in law is a Baptist pastor and we've often spoke on this subject.

Demons are the ones who attack, move things and throw things. Demons, I believe are after the spirits who belong to God. Demons can trap the spirits. Demons also want to attack us and use us to attack others.

you can't believe in the good with out believing in the bad

Edit - "I do believe in ghosts but they don't play with little kid toys, that's just silly. " - very true. It is more the engery not ghosts can't touch things but their energy can.

I watched a tv show that showed a demonologist talking to a ghost child who was trapped by a demon. They tested the power of the little girl to make sure she wasn't a demon. she was asked to turn and move the flashlight which she didn't. Then she was asked dim it which she did.

christmas questions (for France)?




Anna Baby(


ok so my French teacher says that people in France
-they plant their trees in their backyard after using them for Christmas.
-they put out shoes instead of stockings.

I'm not trying to prove her wrong. Just wanting to see if she is correct.
thanks!
-Marie-Christine. (my french name.)



Answer
I don't know the answer to the planting of the Christmas tree, except that apt. dwellers probably just toss the trees. Though gifts are given in France, it is on a much smaller scale that in the US and many times, it's mom and dad buying toys for the kids. The presents are wrapped up in Christmas paper and placed under the tree and opened on Christmas a.m. French ppl also tend to send Christmas cards only to close friends and relatives. The cards are usually sold individually and seldom seen are those big boxes of cards like in the US and Britain. Christmas dessert is usually not pudding (like in the UK) or pumpkin pie (US)-- rather a delicious yule log cake often filled with truffle like or hazelnut filling and with whipped cream or frosting on the outside. Reindeer and/or elf figures are often placed on top of the cake. I think that the putting out of shoes is more associated with St. Nicholas Day rather than Christmas Day.

Parents: How do you keep your kids entertained whilst travelling?

top kids toys this christmas
 on ... for children. Today we've got a top 10 list for Ride On Toys for kids
top kids toys this christmas image
Q. Were going to Russia for there christmas(December 6th and 7th) and it means we have to travel from Toronto to Heathrow and then from Heathrow to St Petersburg. Normally my daughters very good but this year im getting a little worried. So what are your top tips on travel entertainment?


Answer
Portable DVD players, if the plane doesn't have individual TVs at each seat. Most international flights do that now though, so you may be OK. Bring the laptop, hope that there's wifi on the plane, and then use the Netflix on Demand for more movies. Snacks, toys, coloring books, crayons, and anything that comforts them and makes then more likely to fall asleep.

Do ceiling joists in a garage need to be strenghtened to support overhead storage?




Jack


Gable roof with 2x8 rafters 16" oc. 2x10 ceiling joists 16" oc, 24' span. I want to nail 5/8" plywood down on top of ceiling joists to store christmas decorations, kids toys, large bulky items. Roof pitch is 5/12 so usable storage is limited to midspan of 2x10.


Answer
Should be ok for storing light items...brace the floor to the rafters in the center every 8 feet or so...diagonals from the ceiling joists to the rafters every 4 feet, roughly a 1/4 of the distance out from the walls... support columns, beam or wall in the center would be better.
Your proposed setup is exactly what my garage has except I have more usuable space/different pitch and have had no problems in 30 years even with heavy items. 2 X 10 ceiling joists are hardly marginal and prevent the walls from bowing outwards. Snow load on the roof is moderate in Wisconsin winters.

johnston1


This is so sad, ive lived in my area for 20 years, and up to about 3 years ago every christmas day kids would be out on the green with their new toys, not even the snow brought them out this year.
gone are the days when children are let out to play. I do live in London so maybe that's why. computer games must be the new toy.



Answer
I'm in Manchester and it's the same here kids play out in the street I live in most of the time but at christmas you barely see them and rarely on christmas day. I think they are all too busy now with their TV's, Wii's,Play stations,Lap tops etc. You never see kids with new bikes on xmas day anymore.
