Hello! For Hanukkah my husband bought me this souped up ipod and I need to fill it with workout songs....do you have any that inspire you to new work out heights of greatness? Thanks for your help. ANDI

Hey Karen I love your avatar - how have you got the snow to keep falling? I've been trying to figure out mine but haven't yet. I used photobucket.com before but either my brian has fried or it has changed.

Congratulations, skinny minny!! Diane

I have my own DS! I spend so much time waiting for kids while they have appointments, and picking up from school that I got my own, and I use it daily. My all time favorite game is Tetris, with Dr Mario running a close second. When I am feeling virtuous, I will use my Brain Age, Brain Age 2 or Big Brain Academy. Big Brain Academy is more fun, but Brain Age 1 has really helped me with my non-existent math skills. My kids like Nintendogs, they can experience dog guardianship without the actual dog. You have to look after them, teach them things, and they grow up. One really cool feature is that if someone else with the same program is within 100 they can enter your game. We were on the ferry one time and my kid had someone enter and their dogs played together... very cool. The kids have other games, I am pretty particular about violence and sex games, and we have found that renting the games was better because often the kids complete the game long before the game wears out.

Thanks Andi I had her play on one of the display Ds in one of the stores to see how she got on - loved it! One thing though, do they have to always read all the instructions on the games or can they listen to them instead if they have headphones? She may struggle with some of the words if it's just reading. So now we just have to find a store that has one - they are all sold out so far, but are promising that they will be getting more this week. Any suggestions for games for her (and me?)
