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
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.
Any Nancy Drew fans?
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 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.
