Dominoes (not the pizza)

I have news for you, having some simple fun with Dominoes can really make time fly.

I am still taking a brief highatus from the many videos I was releasing for the mother jokes and Pam Jenkins work, so I apologize for the waiting for the next video. BUT I just wanted to have a little fun post suggesting a fun activity for you to try at home.

Have you ever seen dominoes before? They are little rectangel things you can set next to each other in a long row very carefully and then just hit the end of one and watch them all fall down in order. It is a mezmerizing thing to watch happen, but it is even more fun to do yourself. Go look for someon line and you will be very amused.

Here is your big tip for the day though, you can do this at home with a bunch of household objects. How do I know? I did it today! If you have enough you can use cereal boxes, cracker boxes, DVD's or CD's matchbox's, or other things. We actually made a long dominoes out of all of these and then ended it with baby carrots that we bit the ends off so we could set them flat on the ground. It took about 3 hours but it was an amazing site to see. I can't recommend it more for you to try.

I wish I would have made a video of it but I was so focused on the dominoes I couldn't be distracted. It was amazing.
