Today we might go to the LEGO store. The children have their Christmas boxes to fill with LEGO from The Wall. Unknown by my husband I have promised my eldest that if HE isn’t happy with what he finds I’ll let him get a small canister at another visit, when\/if it’s a suitable selection.<\/p>\n

One might think this a bad thing to do, to allow for someone to manipulate so easily so as to get more. Nope. Not him. He’s like me. Genuine to the core about things like this.<\/p>\n

Please note that I only offered this to my eldest boy, not the girl, nor the other two boys.<\/p>\n

My real dilemma is whether or not to return Life of George<\/a> (which I got as a Christmas present.)<\/p>\n

\"lifeofgeorge\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to use it. I can’t since the APP won’t work with my HTC Evo 4G LTE (JB!) device, but it is supposed to work with the HTC One X. Hello, that’s practically my phone. I mean, if THEY can run it, most assuredly mine can, even better probably. These phones are the same base. Mine has an sd card slot, the HTC One X doesn’t. Both run on 1.5mhz snapdragon … umm I was going to link to both phones on HTC’s site, but my phone isn’t there, not at all. Totally not there. It used to be. Weird. No doubt this is part of the problem.<\/p>\n

What I don’t care about is that there are politics regarding this. Just give me the app to sideload and let me show you, prove whether it will run or not. Please!<\/p>\n

What if I do return the box of george’s life in lego? Then the app may appear to work again for me. Sans box, that wouldn’t be good.<\/p>\n

So then what if I keep it? The app(s) won’t work for me, ever, I pretty much think that’d be the case.<\/p>\n

Which option do I choose, just in case the keep it option errs in my favor? Not worth the risk, me thinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
