What I'm Playing... Kersploosh!

Hey there.  Do you member a time when it fun to toss a rock?  Whether it be trying to knock over a tin can or trying to get it to skip across water, as a child, the most mundane of objects could become an afternoon of fun.  That is the first thought that came to my head to moment I started playing Kersploosh!, on the Nintendo 3DS.  The good people at Nintendo provided me a copy of the game and I am thankful that they did.  The family and I have been taking turns trying to 1 up each others times, and even though there are many big name downloads on the Nintendo eShop, Kersploosh! is one of those rare gems that the whole family can enjoy together.  Well, let's get into it, shall we?

ECigaretteReviewed.com for the Best and Unbiased Reviews of Electronic Cigarettes (E Cigs)


Hey there.  Smoking is bad habit.  Personally, I do not smoke.  I've always thought it was a bad habit and something that I didn't need in my life.  But you know what...  it is in my life.  Many of my friends and family members smoke.  They made a decision some point in their lives to take up smoking and now they are addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes.  Just like drinking, smoking is socially acceptable and many people take up smoking socially.  But what if you are addicted?  What if you really are not choosing to smoke because your addiction to nicotine and tobacco is tough to break?  I've seen it first hand.  I've seen more than a few family members try to quit, but they just couldn't break the habit.  They tried the patches and they tried the chewing gums but they just don't seem to work.  If this sounds familiar to you, then maybe you might want to consider Electronic cigarettes (E Cigs).  Not only are they better for those around those who smoke, they may also be the key to breaking the habit.
