Luckily Mother's Day in the UK is earlier than in the US, so I get it next weekend :)<br /><br />I'm the one who has to play through first - the kids are allowed a turn, but they are NOT allowed to overtake my percentage complete. I check this carefully. It tends to be OK, because their screen time is rationed and mine is not ;)humelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-18657221813171441862011-03-24T11:11:27.939-04:002011-03-24T11:11:27.939-04:00I liked the footnotes :)I liked the footnotes :)Carolehttp://brummieblogger.typepad.com/a_brummie_blogger/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-16241470355032516842011-03-23T19:28:02.330-04:002011-03-23T19:28:02.330-04:00I was once told that if it was relegated to a foot...I was once told that if it was relegated to a footnote it wasn't worth including at all.

I'm asking as DH's birthday is coming up and he is THE most difficult person to buy for! Hope things continue in a non blood spilling way ;-)Gingerpussycatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-76329998662229380992011-03-23T17:39:04.078-04:002011-03-23T17:39:04.078-04:00Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday!

Your footnotes added a lot of extra detail and insight, but I wonder if they're a bit too small and too many for one post...? It took me longer to read the post because I kept going back and forth. I tend to stop at the asterisk, read the footnote, go back to the main text, etc.Kimhttp://www.kimbyrns.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-48566815642869295122011-03-23T11:56:26.162-04:002011-03-23T11:56:26.162-04:00Wow that was a slow-coach delivery!

My DS can get quite frustrated with new games too, though as he grows/matures, there are less strops and tears (actually I can't remember the last time we had that issue... ). They grow out of it (more or less) I think. <br /><br />Do let us know how the guys rate this one - no point buying it if it's rubbish, but we might if it turns out to be good.

I think they are integral part of you're writing style. <br />I don't really like the footnotes (because I don't get the snarky asides until later in the narrative flow). PLus, footnotes are a big part of my work-work writing, which makes them less enjoyable.<br />RindaRinda1961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-67176396665080521732011-03-23T09:03:30.428-04:002011-03-23T09:03:30.428-04:00"big brown truck of joy" always makes me..."big brown truck of joy" always makes me laugh - by the way, I think your bar and my bar are located in the same pit, six feet under.<br /><br />(I like the idea of footnotes, but I can barely see them.

I like the flow you have without the comments in the body and the footnotes separately make perfect sense BUT I did miss them first time around. I think it was because of the font size but I did also have glare on my screen lolWendy Bukowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-72693552017046286402011-03-23T06:57:38.333-04:002011-03-23T06:57:38.333-04:00I've always been partial to parenthetical comm...I've always been partial to parenthetical comments/asides as opposed to footnotes; I find I skip them until the end, then have to go back to see where that comment relates to.<br /><br />Also: a new Lego Star Wars might be the one thing that brings my PSP out of retirement (Lego Indy II failed miserably at that, and I haven't even bothered with Harry).SciFi Dadhttp://talesfromthedadside.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-67987266789610743622011-03-23T06:11:03.973-04:002011-03-23T06:11:03.973-04:00Let us know what you think about it!
