Glad this wasn't around when I was a kid...

When I was a kid, I played outside, played inside, and played LOTS-o-VIDEO GAMES. I don't anymore, and that's mainly due to the fact that I have a 7 month old watching everything I do, while I'm watching her.

It's okay though, I knew that the older you get, the more your priorities change, and you know what, I'm really okay with that. While years ago I enjoyed spending time Squishing Goombas and Saving the Princess, Tracking down the all-powerful Triforce, and Defending mankind in Space...the following have replaced them:

* Squishing bugs to Save my Little Princess.
* Tracking down the all-powerful toy that comforts Her.
* Defending my space as it gets taken over by more and more pink colored things.

But to be honest...I don't miss them that much, and every once in a while, I'll get a weekend alone, and then it's me and my old friend having a good time once again. Video Games are kind of like a bike, you never forget how to play (ride).

Anyway...All that to say, that I found evidence of a very Parent-Friendly gadget, that will aid them in the battle against their children going on All Day Video Game Binges this summer.

Check it out...It's the "Game Dr."



Simply put, you plug your Video Game system's power cord into it, IT plugs into an outlet, and after a Parent set amount of time, it will kill the power to the system, rendering the system useless until the next opportunity. Oh...and you can't simply unplug the system cord, since it's locked inside the "Game Dr." nice and tight.

My thoughts...Sales of extra power cords are going to go up! Buy stock now! Want more info...Here's the article I found.
