XBOX Recall

Justmom

Do you know whether those cords will just burn the garbage and laundry on the floors or the whole thing?

If it's the former, I'm telling my kids nuthin.

Can I tell my twins that it is unsafe to use it? Hmmmm

With any luck now the XBOX will go the way of lawn darts.......

HEY
I resemble that remark---we still play lawn darts !!!


I do have a question though: What are the parents going to play when the kids go to bed? Are they going back to SCRABBLE?

Perhaps if more of those video games went up in flames it would help reduce the obesity problem in this country where I believe
1/3 of the children are overweight...

TR - Didn't your mother tell you that you're going to poke your eye out with those things?

If the garbage and laundry in my sons room goes up, you'll see the fire in my sons room where you live!

Our baseball team has turned this into a bit of a team bonding thing on weekends or school holidays ... many of the players will bring their Xbox console over to one kid's house that has a LAN wired in his house and several TVs, then they'll all play Halo-2, four kids to a console in different rooms. Gotta love the mom for hosting a gaggle of boys in her house.

The addictive Xbox thing now is Halo2 online with Xbox-live. They form online 'clans' with their teammates and other friends. Hasn't been much of a problem for my eldest ... he's just too busy with school and baseball to allow himself to get too absorbed. My youngest son did get a bit too obsessed ... I had to configure my home network to only allow the Xbox to connect to the Internet for one hour a day, 8PM-9PM ... after homework, sports, chores, family dinner, etc., were completely over with. My 13year-old complained at first, until I explained it was either one hour or zero hours, he was free to choose which one.
