So, in a way, that puts me off the game. I just don’t like a game that goes on and on and on. I know Monopoly now has many versions of its board game with some being collectors item. I have seen a Disney, Transformers, Nintendo, Star Wars and Indiana Jones version. I’m sure there are many others. The packaging usually looks very enticing too.

Recently, I purchased a Junior Monopoly game for my son. I thought it will be good training for him to sit down to play a game to improve his concentration and math skills. That brought me back to the notion that this is a game with no end. So, I told my son that whoever has the most money after an hour is the winner. That cuts down on the boredom somewhat because Monopoly CAN be boring after a while.

Anyway, if you are also thinking of playing Monopoly again, try these tactics to bring more excitement to the game and shorten the play time. That should bring the fun back to this classic game somewhat.

Moreover, shopping online is not necessarily more expensive even with shipping charges thrown in. If you do your research, you can even get a good bargain for all the gifts you want to buy. So, for this year, it will be no different for me. I will start my online shopping around October to get all the gifts I need and hopefully, I will have the discipline to stick to my budget this time around!

Later, I learned from my friend that a lot of the ideas came from magazines. Before moving into the house, she spent a lot of time going through decor magazines to have an idea what she wants in each room. For all the time and effort spent, I have to say they are worth it as she now has a very nicely decorated home that she can be really proud of.

 It is a fling shot flying monkey. You stretch the arms and legs, and then let it fly across the room. Not only that, the toy makes monkey sounds as it flies which gives it added fun.

My son and his friends had a great time playing with those fling shot toys and they were all laughing hard all the way. Apart from the monkey, you can also get this toy in the form of a cow, chicken, duck, frog and pig. But I think the monkey is best because a flying pig that oinks or cow that moos just doesn’t seem as realistic and fun.

Anyway, I think it is a toy that is worth getting. Usually, we tend to associate the fun value with the price of a toy. But in actual fact, kids can also have lot of fun out of a simple, cheap toy like a fling shot monkey!

Later, I found out that another friend also bought him a tie. I guess ties must be a popular choice as a gift for men. Luckily, the tie that my friend bought is different from the one I got. Otherwise, my ex-boss will end up with two ties of the same design!
