Wal-Mart’s Toyland

November 14th, 2010

Every year the most popular toys change and it seems like they get more expensive. I think that the easiest place to Christmas shop is Wal-Mart. They have all the newest toys at a cheaper price than Target or Toys R Us. This year three huge kid’s movies came out on video and along with the videos came a whole line of toys. Wal-Mart has a huge selection of “Toy Story 3” toys, “How to Train Your Dragon” toys, and “Beauty and the Beast” toys.

Toy Story action figures and toys are one of the biggest hits for the 2010 Christmas year. Wal-Mart has Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse, and Rex dolls for the lowest price around. These dolls talk or roar. Wal-Mart has the entire Toy Story action figure for five dollars. These action figures are a great stocking stuffer! Kids of all ages will have fun playing Toy Story 3 board games.

How to train your dragonHow To Train Your Dragon movie and toys have become one of the top items on little boy’s Christmas list. Wal-Mart has cheap action figures, play sets, and even Viking dress up toys. Your kids will love the large action figures of the fire-breathing Night Fury. More exciting toys that are the most popular for young boys are Bakugan toys, awesome Star Wars The Clone War action figures, Transformer action figures, and all your boy need to become Iron Man. Stinky the Garbage Truck quickly became a huge hit. Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us display Stinky and show off his awesome tricks. Wal-Mart sales Stinky for at least ten dollars less than both Target and Toys R Us.

For young children and toddlers the most important thing now a day is what a child can learn from a toy. Wal-Mart sells the two most popular toddler toy brands; Playskool and Fisher-Price. These toys are great to help your kids learn how to crawl, walk, talk, and play. Your little children will love all the Nick Jr. and Disney toys. The dancing, moon walking, singing, and shaking Dance Star Mickey Mouse just might become as popular as the “tickle me Elmo” from about ten years ago. Dora the Explorer dolls are always a big hit for young girls. The two most popular dolls this Christmas season are the Singing Birthday Dora and We Did It Dora. Your young girls can learn about each season with the Dora Window Surprise Dollhouse.

You most likely have seen the many commercials for the popular “Your Baby Cant Read” products. The different sets of books DVDs and flash cards teach your baby different words as they are growing up. The salesmen recommend you start this process before the age of three. Simply a word or short phrase is placed on the television screen and then you will see some one doing what the word or phase said, such as the phrase “arms up” or if the word was “dog” you will see a dog. Wal-Mart just started to carry the “Your Baby Can Read” package for less than half the price that is asked for over the television commercials.

Two more popular brands of educational toys are Leap Frog and Vtech. Leap Frog came out with the new way to explore books, Tag. With Tag your child can simply place the pointer onto a Tag book and the pointer with read what is on the page. There are many different Tag books for both boys and girls.

Leap Frog also have the held hand learning system, Explorer Learning Experience. It has over 4 fun video games that are all extremely educational. Vtech has many different games, books and toys that are very education for children of all ages. Young toddlers can have fun with the Vtech 3 in one learning scooter and ride-a-long, and the Vtech light up bath toys. The Vtech V-reader will help your kids sound out words as they learn to read. There are many selections of “E-books” with popular characters such as Dora the Explorer, Toy Story’s Woody and Buzz, and the Disney princesses.

Nothing is more exciting to a young girl than the pink aisle in the toy section of Wal-Mart. Coming to theater soon is the movie Tangled. Wal-Mart has all the Tangled toys, such as; Rapunzel Sparkle Princess fashion Doll, Rapunzel Braiding Friends hair Braider, Rapunzel Wedding Gift Set, and even the Disney Rapunzel Fairytale Tower.

McDonalds’ Monopoly Game

October 17th, 2010

Everyone has heard of the Monopoly game at McDonalds’ fast food restaurant. This year they have another great list of prizes. The grand prize of $1,000,000 is the hardest to come by. The hardest piece to win is Boardwalk. McDonalds has many other cash prizes, Beach resorts, family vacations, cars, $5,000 Wal-Mart gift cards, free Red Box rentals, and of course free food and drinks.

When you go to McDonalds and order large drinks, some breakfast foods, large fries, and some Burgers. I have heard stories of people all over the country and the world, but I have not won anything more than a free large fry, McNugget meal, or a small coffee. I think that it is funny that they are giving away free Red Box rentals this year, but I have not seen tickets for them yet.

Pull out your board and tickets and compare to see if you have these tickets that are the rarest ones:

1. Short Line

2. Boardwalk

3. Pennsylvania Avenue

4. Ventnor Avenue

5. Kentucky Avenue

6. Tennessee Avenue

7. Virginia Avenue

8. Vermont Avenue

9. Mediterranean Avenue

10. Golden Avenue

Win some money in the store and online! I think that McDonalds should offer a free gym membership for the person that eats enough McDonalds’ food to actually win something.

Keep an eye out for this new lunch time hot spot that will be competing against the likes of Quiznos, Subway, Jersey Mikes, and I think that’s just about it.

Oh ya, Brookshires, Wal-Mart, and Albertsons sale pre-made disgusting sub sandwiches. Why buy pre-made when you can get fresh to order sub sandwiches at Jimmy Johns in Tyler Texas.

Tyler Junior College’s New Rules

September 22nd, 2010

There have been a lot of issues on the Tyler Junior College campus when it comes to gang related fights and robberies. The school campus is finally doing something about it. All students are required to wear their school identification card around their neck while they are on the school property. The security has also put up small fences on walls that gangs sat on and many fights broke out due to what gang sat where. All these fights seemed petty and pretty childish for college students. A lot of times guys would sit around the campus that are not students of Tyler Junior College, and many complaints have been made that these groups f guys would harass girls coming out of classes.

The rule of having to wear your identification bag has brought up some different feelings in students. I, personally, think that it is a great idea. I am sick of all the fights that break out by people hanging out around the school, only because they have no where better to be, and they are not students or involved with the school. The only complaints that I have heard about this rule is that people do not want to wear the identification cards because it does not match their clothes. You can pick out the apache freshmen when you walk into Wal-Mart and see them proudly wearing their id.

Another rule that Tyler Junior College has recently started to enforce is that the college campus has become smoke free. Although many times you can find students hiding behind buildings and in bushes, you now have to take the time to walk across the street to smoke.

Many students and staff have different opinions about these rules, but I think that the school is on their way to making the property a safer and cleaner campus.

AT&T Cell Phone Service in Tyler Texas

September 10th, 2010

AT&T Cell Phone Company

Website: www.att.com

6004 S Broadway, Suite 100, Tyler – (903) 561-9393

5393 S Broadway Ave, Tyler – (903) 324-1117

4601 South Broadway Avenue, Tyler – (903) 939-1808

We have been having so many problems communicating with AT&T. Our cell phone bills in Tyler Texas have been higher than they should be. We decided that we should go up to the store and talk to them about lowering our bill. When we had gone up to the store we had explained that we are thinking about cancelling one of your phones. After we had expressed that the bills were more expensive than we had originally agreed on, they told us that we only had to pay less than half of what was on the bill. They had also told us that we would be getting $150 back on our next bill.

When we got our next month’s bill it was twice as much as the month before, and it stated that we had not paid the month before. We have been having a lot of issues like this one. The issues started to happen when we got the package deal. We got internet, direct TV, and two cell phones on one bill. Although this deal saves some money, it is really stressful that AT&T keeps on messing up our bills. It is really frustrating that when we go to the store they tell us one thing but then when we get our bill in the mail it states something completely different.

When we bought our phones we had got them from the Tyler Wal-Mart. We went up to the Wal-Mart phone section and talked to the guy that worked for the electronics. We had told him that we wanted to cancel our phone. He told us that soon AT&T will not be offering the unlimited internet package and that if we decide to cancel or switch phones we will lose the unlimited internet. He explained to us that soon other companies that Tyler Wal-Mart sells phones for are soon going to offer unlimited internet, text messaging, and phone calls. Soon we will be moving our cell phone service over to this smart phone, because we are tired of having to talk to so many different confused people about the problems on our phone bills.
