Blackberry, Palm Pre, Droid Luv Em or Hate Em?

I will be getting a new phone within the next 4-6 months. It is mind-boggling, trying to think of what will be a good fit for me. I talk and text, but not excessively (mostly because I am in my vehicle so much!). I like to take pictures on my phone, but only to share phone-to-phone. I have never retrieved them off the phone to computer. My husband has a blackberry for work and I am not all that impressed with it He's had both the Storm and Curve. It is very possible I would just need to get used to it. What about the Palm Pre or...

Wii Games - Which Do Your Kids Love?

I have a 5 & 2 1/2 year old - who love Wii Sports Resort. We have family Wii nights, and I'd love some suggestions on new games we can add. I think our little one would love a dancing game - any recommendations? What are some favorites at your house? ...and has anyone tried the Zumba Wii game? Is it a good workout? Easy enough to follow the moves (for someone who has more legs and elbows than grace or timing)? Thanks!

Extended Family Vacation Suggestions

My two brothers and I are planning a giant family vacation in order to celebrate our father's retirement. I was hoping you all could provide me with suggestions for a fun and unique family vacation experience that would be appropriate for around 7-10 adults and 8 children from ages newborn to five-years. We already do a beach vacation once a year and we're leary of bringing kids on a cruise. Any thoughts outside of those two? Oh and I should also mention, camping is out. My dad's more the central AC/cable tv type. Thanks for your help! I...

Safety Harness Question

I'm sure this has been thoroughly covered elsewhere, but I was interested in the opinions of those moms who are opposed to using a safety harness. How is that different than strapping your kids into a stroller? That is also a form of restraint. Yes, Luv, I mean the "leashes." Thanks. Sue H., sorry, I didn't intend to ask an inflammatory question. Just genuinely curious about other's opinions. Thanks.

Do You Regret Any of Your Tattoos?

I took my son to swim lessons and saw MANY poorly done tattoos on other parents. Some I couldn't even figure out what it was suppose to be. Do you have something you regret and would want it removed?

Anyone Using "Over the Air" Tv, Netflix or Hulu Plus?

We are considering ditching DirecTV to save money. 1) Considering getting antenna to get over the air tv. I know it dramatically reduces your choice of stations for live tv. About how many stations does one get on average? 2)Considering buying a Roku box to stream Netflix and Hulu Plus. Selection not a big deal for hubby and me but I'm wondering about childrens tv selections. My kids watch HUB, PBS Sprout, Cartoon Network programming. (Transformers, Dora, Looney Tunes etc). Do either of these offer a lot of childrens tv programs? Doesn't...
