Title: Wii.... Whew!
Post by: Gingerale on December 04, 2007, 08:08:35 AM
I have found that playing an hour and a half a day of Wii sports makes one sore... lol.... Which is what I have been doing this week.


My friend Rachel's Sister in law has lost 43 lbs in 2 months playing the Wii 2 hours a day, and eating right...



Has anyone else heard of success stories from the Wii?!

I have a Wii and I love it! I'm pretty much a Pro at the tennis so you better watch it! lol. I have tons of great games. My favorites are Second Opinion, where you get to perform surgery. Smooth Moves, where you do a bunch of random tasks. And Mario Kart!

Post by: myhaloisintheshop on July 09, 2008, 07:03:45 PM
Im not much on video games but I scored major points with the hubby when I mentioned that I would like a Wii.


That surgery game sounds awesome!

Yeah it's pretty neat. I've never killed a patient! Lol. It doesn't let you kill them. When they are about to die it says someone else takes over and my character never returns to a hospital again...lol. I've had that happen a few times but, I'm pretty good at it. Its really fun.

Title: Re: Wii.... Whew!

Its nothing like the first Mario. But I do have a game for the wii that has some levels from the first Mario on it. It's pretty cool.
Title: Re: Wii.... Whew!
Post by: Sis on July 10, 2008, 10:20:55 PM
Never heard of Mario Kart, so I don't know what the old one is like. I meant the ole Mario from the original Nintendo.

I'll check your site out in a few.

So do I. when mine quit working, I bought a part on Ebay. It was super easy to fix and now it's working like new.

When I'm babysitting, the kids don't care if it's the old one, it's a game! LOL

Probably. Mine wouldn't play. Before that it played sometime if I took the game out and blew in it to blow any dust out of it and tried it again.

Anywho it plays like new now. Just open er up, take the old piece out and replace it. Remember, if you do buy it, ask for the directions. If they don't have them, I think I have them around here someplace cuz I bought two of them and I would need to remember how to do it.

Added:  I didn't see any sense in throwing all those games out or giving them to the Goodwill at $40 apiece. I did sell some on Ebay, the ones we didn't play much anymore and kept the favorites.
Title: Re: Wii.... Whew!
Post by: MelodyB on July 10, 2008, 10:59:44 PM
10-4 I will. :thumbsup2: Thanks.

I saved it on my eBay, I dont have the money to get it right now, but maybe in a few days. :)

I bought mine a few years ago, they're always on there someplace. I'm not the only cheap one who will upgrade but keep the old one, too. LOL

Thats why I saved it, I know that one will end, but I can look up another one, I just want to make sure I remember. :)

Sydney is laid back compared to Hong Kong! For real!!

Sydney is a MUCH smaller city - but then again most cities are, compared to Hong Kong as well!!

I don't want to live in Sydney though - although I think it's probably inevitable... I hate the traffic problems there!! That's NOT fun! Hong Kong is MUCH easier to get around than Sydney - but I guess it can afford to be with the population density being what it is...
