When I shopped for one of my nieces at Circuit City, I stumbled on a Nancy Drew computer game. I don't have kids, so I'm out of the loop I know, but I thought that was cool. We loved those books when we were kids, but I don't know if my sister has introduced her daughter yet.
My niece is 9, and youngest recommended age is 10. But it was only $20, so we got her one other little hand-held game that was only about $6, so at least she can play that right away.

Nancy Drew
My daughter is 9 and in 4th grade and loves the Nancy Drew books. She got into them after seeing the movie from last year starring the teen Emma Roberts (she had a show on the Nickelodeon channel). The movie I thought was really cute and old-fashioned. She really likes the "mystery" genre at this point. I personally never was into Nancy Drew but liked my mom's old Trixie Belden mystery books which were similar.

My goodness, they go for big bucks on e-bay! Try that, then donate to your local library; however, they may give them away if they already have them. FYI.
Nancy Drew books
My daughter used to read those when she was young.
My 7-year-old just got into Nancy Drew, got her -sm
first one the other day with a gift card from her uncle. She knows I love mysteries and is getting into them herself now; so yes, young girls still read Nancy Drew!
Nancy Drew - the original ones from the 1930s
I loved A Wrinkle in Time, too, and the Trixie Belden books, also the original ones. And the Bobbsey Twins.
Am I telling my age here?
Do young girls still read Nancy Drew books? - sm
I know I read them when I was around 10 or 11, but that was 30 years ago and I am not sure what girls read these days. I am trying to find someone who would really appreciate them because I believe my mom buying me my first one truly led to a love of reading that continues today (true crime no less!). I may just donate them to our local library. Any other ideas?
Unfortunately, Nancy is deceased. nm

Nancy Grace
She is an interesting person. I believe that she is still on maternity leave. She recently gave birth to preemie twins, her first pregnancy at the age of 48 or so.
Okay - don't laugh but WHO is Nancy Grace??
Never heard of her - is she national?
I remember when Nancy Reagan had a double mastectomy
and if I remember correctly, she was only diagnosed with it in 1 side. Not that you have cancer but I remember thinking and talking about her at that time I thought have a bilateral mastectomy was the way I would do in case of this ever happening, plus as aggressive chemo and whatever. Up to now, no further problem with her and I thought she made the right decision, just to be rid of the concern about the other breast eventually having to go back again. By the way, had hysterectomy, not for tumor but unending bleeding and probably best thing I ever did, vaginal route, really no down time, no pain (unlike before). Good luck with your decision.
Knew about breaking Nancy Kerrigan's kneecaps
I knew (the world knew) about her having Kerrigan's kneecaps broken but I meant is she still breaking kneecaps? *LOL* but not really funny, I know....
she seemed like such trailer park trash (not insulting the good folk who DO live in trailer parks, only the TRASHY ones).........and I guess that never DID change for Tonya, eh.....
It's all about choices in the life, I do believe.........
Tidbit of information, Regans wife, Nancy
was pregnant when they married, their daughter. This was his second marriage, married to Jane Wyman before this one.
Please watch Nancy Grace tonight. She will have the tragedy that I sm
asked everyone to pray about 2 days ago - the family who lives 2 street over in Parkville, MD, who had 5 family members die in a head-on crash returning home from a Christmas trip to Michigan.
This is such a horrific, tragic accident.
I never watch Nancy, but curious as to what the show is about. If you want to see photos of this precious family you can visit www.myspace.com/bhjlv
This precious family's story should warn everyone about the dangers of drinking...Have a great night everyone.
I love Nancy Grace. working, but will try to catch this one later
thanks for telling us about it!
Last night on Nancy Grace they reported a lot of the women are SM
on Welfare, and that the young boys work construction jobs and then turn all the money over to the leaders of the compound. Someone earlier posted that these are members of the Mormon church, but my cousin, who died in 1999 was Mormon and her husband who visited our family 2 years after her death (they lived on the opposite coast) told us that the Mormon church absolutely no longer tolerates polygamy. He has been Mormon all his life.
Nancy Snyderman, Chief Medical Correspondent for MSNBC just
release a book "101 Medical Myths and Maladys; the ones that are true remedies and ones that are folklore. Good read. I highly suggest it.
Any GH fans??? If so,
who is Maureen?
Hey N/T fans
I haven't asked in a while. What did you all think of last night's episode? It's getting really weird, weirder than usual. I was actually grossed out quite a bit last night, but there were moments when I laughed out loud.
N/T Fans
Any Nip/Tuck fans out there. It starts on Tuesday. Have you seen the previews. It looks like it's going to be an incredible year. The previews look great. I can't wait until next week.
Hey N/T Fans
What did you think of the season finale last night? The ending had me laughing. Boy is Teddy weird. I never would have guessed it. I actually felt sorry for Kimber, and I'm not sure why. I just don't like the fact that we have to wait until 2010 before we have a resolution. Do you think Christian is going to tell Liz the news? I have my doubts.
Any NFL fans out there?
I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan since I was old enough to understand what a first down was. I was around 8 years old and it was in the mid 70's and they were good. Didn't hurt that my dad was a Vikes fan and they wore my favorite color. Tarkenton was a blast to watch, constantly eluding defenders. We had our Purple People Eaters (Page, Eller, Larsen and Marshall) who ate up defenses. These were the days where you could actually touch the QB and almost rip his head off without getting flagged.
Of course, The Vikes were always the first team to do bad things:
1. First team to lose 4 Super Bowls.
2. Only team to have a D-lineman pick up a fumble and run it to the wrong end zone, scoring a safetly for the other team.
3. First team to go 15-1 and not make the SB (thank you Pittsburgh - we no longer stand alone).
4. First team to score most points in a season (556) and not go to the Super Bowl).
5. First and only team to trade away 17 players/draft picks for an over-the-hill Herschel Walker who did nothing for our team.
The list goes on, but you know what? I've been with this team for 32 years and will be back for a 33rd. I must either be mentally ill or a masochist.
BTW, I'm going to see them play in Cleveland on Sept. 13. I've seen them 4 times live and I've had 2 wins, 2 losses. All were preseason games. This will be my first regular season game. And yes, I'll be dressed in full Viking regalia. I've seen then at Fawcett stadium against the Seahawks in the HOF game, twice at Foxboro against the Patriots and once at the Meadowlands against the Jets and I'll tell you what - the Jets were some extremely rude fans but from what I hear, they don't hold a candle to Giant, Philly or Raiders fans.
Any other pro football nuts?
Oh, and though I rarely get into college games, I now root for Ohio State since my nephew goes there.
We are NFC fans - Eagles, but sm
I am really rootin' for the kid (Manning). What a game! His father must be so proud. He deserves a chance. Those Patriots were certainly speechless. Love a great competitive, action-packed football game.
AI Fans...what did you think of the *new* Sanjaya?
WOW! I'm speechless. lol
Any fans of The Apprentice out there? sm
What did you think about the overall season? I didn't like how they showed very little of the teams at work on each task, had increased product endorsements and at the end did not have a final task for the last 2 candidates. I do think that Stephanie & James were the best 2 to be there in the end. I thought he would pick James since he had been the project manager so much but think Stephanie will do a fine job for him. Also did you pick up on his telling Nicole on the last night that relationships had to come behind working for him? Gees - what a jerk!
Well Idol Fans............
If anyone is voting for Blake after tonight's performances, you need to have your head examined! No comparison. Vote fair
You all must be Dexter fans! LOL!
xx
Any other Bob Dylan fans out there? If so (see msg)
can you name one of your favorites by him? I must have dozens of favorites, but I would have to put Lilly, Rosemary and Jack of Hearts right at the top five. I also love Forever Young. Birth name is Robert Zimmerman.
for all you baseball fans out there...sm
Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the nosebleed seats. Cat

Any Dr. Phil fans out there?
He came to our town several weeks ago to help kick of the Toys for Tots campaign. Some of that will be featured on his show today.
Fleetwood Mac fans
This is a Valentine special for Fleetwood Mac fans and acoustic guitar lovers - Lindsey Buckingham performing Big Love.
If the link doesn't work, copy and paste - it is worth it.

Survivor Fans????
What'd you all think of that blindside tonight? I loved every minute of it. While I'm not a fan of Natalie, I don't much care for Eric, either. I'm pulling for Amanda, but unless she wins immunity, I don't think Parv and Cerie are going to take her to the final 3.
This has been the best season yet of Survivor. The blindsides have been awesome! I still can't believe Eric was that stupid to trust 4 women.
Any TrueBlood (HBO) fans?
The first time I caught the show I didn't like it, then one weekend I had nothing to do so watched all the episodes (HBO on demand), now I love the show. I just found a clip of an interview with the guy who play Jason (Sookie's brother). He's hot in the show and what a cutie (Aussie) in real person. Seems like a truly genuine nice guy (which is rare in Hollywood). If your interested I'm posting the link below.

Any other Maroon 5 fans out there?
I took my 16 year old daughter to their concert this summer and came away a bigger fan than she is! Their music talks to me in a way no other has since the 60s (would you believe I'm 56?). Now I devour everything I can get my hands on about them. Great, great band!
AI fans- Who is going home?
I am not fond of Matt and wanted him gone the 1st time.
Any Cavs fans out there??
Going to the game tonight and cannot wait! I just hope I can stay awake as tip off is not until 8:30 and after a full day of work, kids and then a 3 mile run I am pooped by then! GO CAVS!!!!!!!!

Bachelor Fans........Sadie or Jen?
I hope it's Sadie
Rude Bears fans
Some of my friends went to the Saints/Bears game and were amazed and ashamed for the rudeness of the fans. He is a high school football coach so he has seen some team rivalries some severe, but never like this. Being booed, being followed and surrounded in the bathroom, etc. Terrible and shame on the people of Chicago
Any country music fans out there?
I have just recently started listening to country (I love just about all kinds of music except rap) and I totally love the song and video from Gretchen Wilson "Come to Bed" almost makes me want to pick a fight with my hubby.
Any other LOST fans? spoiler
DH and I enjoy Lost, and record it with DVR so we won't miss it. Did anybody see tonight's show? They sure misled us with the promo. Do you think both the man & woman just mostly dead? Because that man could have been bitten thousands of times, right? And he should have recovered sooner ...
American Idol fans.....sm
Did you laugh at Simon's comment/mannerism over Sanjaya last night? I about fell off the sofa laughing.
Best talent last night: Lakeisha & Melinda.
Most improved now they're singing the right kind of songs for their voice: Gina.
Your thoughts?
Any ER fans out there? What did you think of last night's cliffhanger? (sm)
I'm thinking they could cancel this show now and have done with it. I've watched this show since day one and this is the first time I've come to the end of the season and not really cared if it came back next year. There are no solid characters left to care about. Abby and Luka are married but Luka will only be in a handful of episodes next year. Personally, I wanted Neela with Ray because, as far as I'm concerned, she has NO chemistry with Tony. There are NO major players to carry this show through another season. Archie and Hope are cute but not solid enough. Pratt is just there. So who does that leave?
Y&R Fans -- Nick is alive! :0)
Wonder what the story line will be now? I was hopeful that they didn't kill him off for real.
Okay, how many of you Dylan fans remember SM
Positively Fourth Street? Now that really goes back. No one could have said it quite like he did in that!
Grey's Fans - anyone else stumped?
I just don't get the whole George-Izzie-Callie triangle. George only had eyes for Meredith for so long before he got together with Callie. There was no hint of him having any kind of feelings for Izzie besides friendship and then all over a sudden, after one drunken encounter, they are each other's everything. LOVE the show, but I'm not buying it. On the other hand, loved Derek's little speech to Meredith at the end of the show this week.
Any comments from DWTS fans?
I missed a bit of yesterday's Dancing with the Stars finale show, but looks like Helio and Julianne overall had the strongest performance.
What happened to Mel and Maks' freestyle? They were like kinda deflated or something.
IMO, Marie and Jonathan usually come up with pleasant surprises, but last night's freestyle was a real puzzler - I am not sure why Jonathan would agree to choreograph such a cutesy (yawn) routine when the competition is so fast and fierce. Marie was a bit too vocal with the judges...after all, they are the "experts."
Any Nascar Fans? Question
I got a jacket at a yard sale, still has tags on it. It is a Nascar jacket for Dodge/Havoline/Texaco with the initials BP on it. I am not a Nascar fan, but am trying to figure out which driver is (was) BP. I have tried Google w/o much luck. TIA
Holy Moly N/T last - for N/T Fans
I can't even print what I thought about Christian in this episode. Matt and Sean went a little crazy and that doesn't even include the (half sister thing). The N/T characters have gone crazy this season. LOL. What's wrong with Julia, confronting Eden alone? Next week is the season finale. Should be interesting.
Exactly. And these Obama fans need to give it up. I mean, we don't like sm
Obama for numerous reasons and some dumb email isn't going to change my mind either way.
Ok, Idol fans, how did you like last night?
I was blown away by the little Filipino girl (sorry have not learned their names yet) and also the 2 after her, 10 thru 12. They actually saved the best for last I thought. Once again this year feel the girls are better singers, for the most part, than the guys. I do not care for the nurse/rocker girl at all and also on the male side the Peter Frampton look alike guy. The girls rock again this year!!
Grey's Anatomy fans...did you see?
The character of Erica Hahn was "dismissed" and this week will be her last episode. I think the rumblings were that maybe ABC wasn't happy with the Erica/Callie relationship.
