We have learned a new game called Mexican Train Dominoes. But we learned it differently than what the rules that came with the game say.

So I have decided to share our dominos rules of Mexican Train since it is simpler for our youngsters to learn.

The dominos themselves are different than regular dominos because they go up to double 12's. One cool thing is that if counting dots is hard for your little ones, you can buy these dominos that have numbers instead of dots. The game go basically like this - each person takes a number of tiles based on how many are playing. Then starting with the double 12 tile (or the closest double someone has in their pile) it is placed in the middle. Every round goes down 1 number. Everyone then must start their leg (think spider here) with the same number that was the double. If you don't have that number on your tiles, you pick one from the bone pile. If you can play you do, if not the next person plays. You then only play on your leg until 1 of 2 things happen.

1st - You can play on another person's leg if after they have picked, they cannot. You know it is open to play on because they must place a plastic train - which comes in the set - on their leg when they can't play. Then when they are able to play on their leg again, they can remove the train. We like to use M&Ms as the train marker, then eat them when you get to remove it!

2nd - If you have a tile that has the same number as the double that was used at the beginning of the game, you can start a Mexican Train. This is a leg started apart from the other legs and any person can play on it. Just one Mexican train per round.

A few nuances - if you play a doubles tile during the round (like 3's), the doubles tile must be "satisfied" before regular play can continue. How this is accomplished is that either the person who plays the doubles tile must play another tile with the same number or it goes around the table for each person's turn until someone can satisfy it. You must draw if you can't play. You can however play the drawn tile if it matches. This can mess up the best laid plans! Also, it is not uncommon for someone to get stuck for the whole round without getting their leg started. The upside here is if you play rounds down to double 1's, this evens out.

The winner of the round is the one who gets rid of all his tiles first. Everyone else has to add up all their dots (only area little ones may need help) on all the tiles still in their hand. This is their score for that round. Winner of the game is the person with the lowest score.

Mexican Train Dominos. Easy dominos rules and a fun family game! Great for family Christmas gifts!

This a massage chair review for the Human Touch model HT 7120 recliner. Human Touch is known for their executive looking type massage chairs. They have packed the HT 7120 with many features and functions of which we will highlight the more important ones. We will also review the warranty coverage for this sleek lounger. Let us take a deeper look at the HT-7120 massage chair recliner.

We are first always concerned with the warranty of massage chairs. These are big ticket items and you want to be sure that you have adequate protection from the possibility of problems down the road. We always advise buying your chair from the top manufacturers because there are many cheap imports that promise the world and then just do not deliver. Human Touch is one of the best companies in the industry and has national distribution.

The HT 7120 model comes with a warranty the covers the following: 3 years of coverage on the chair's structure, 1 year coverage on parts and 90 days coverage on labor. The labor is factory labor and not in home service, which is an extra charge. This is a rather weak warranty for a massage chair in this class. We are surprised at the stinginess of the warranty from Human Touch on the HT 7120.

The HT-7120 comes with a unique leg rest with a calf massager. The leg rest has two sides. One side containes the calf massager and the other is a leg rest. When the massage chair is not in use, then the chair looks like a leg rest for a normal recliner. When you want a calf massage, then simply flip the leg rest to reveal the calf massager. This unique feature helps to disguise your massage chair as a regular recliner.

The HT7120 has a stretch function. You can select full body stretch mode on the remote control. The HT 7120 will then activate the air bags in the leg ottoman to hold your legs. Then the program will start to recline the chair backwards. This action will stretch your full body. As it stretches you, more blood circulation occurs to the spine and it will relieve the pressures on your back.

We are big fans of heat therapy. The HT-7120 comes with dual lumbar heating elements. Heat therapy helps to reduce swelling and increase blood circulation. These dual lumbar heating elements target the lower back. They provide soothing heat to help reduce lower back pain and bring relief.

Let us talk about the massage therapy of the HT-7120 massage chair recliner. The HT7120 comes with a 15 automatic massage which is adjustable for the upper back, lower back or full back. You can also adjust the comfort control to 7 different levels of intensity. You will also find 4 manual massage treatments. These manual treatments include rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. You have quite a few options to really target the areas in most need of attention.

The HT-7120 is a well designed and attractive massage chair recliner. It has an executive look to it. The oval base makes an attractive platform for this contemporary massage chair. We like the massage therapy of this chair, but would like to see better warranty coverage from Human Touch. We do like the fact that this massage recliner will compliment any room in your house. This is a solid massage chair and one worth investigating further.

Uggs have been called the "most comfortable boot" by many. Sheepskin is warm and soft to the touch, and takes the shape of the foot, keeps it warm in cold weather, cool in hot weather and removes any trace of moisture off of it. The comfort and craftsmanship of functional sheepskin fashion boots is fast becoming a popular choice.

You will absolutely love those Uggs when you consider how they defy fashion logic and leaped into the mainstream. If you ask why, it's because they deliver comfort and style. They developed out of a groundswell of consumer choice, not hype.

If you have to watch your budget, you can find cheap Uggs or discounted Uggs perhaps on Ebay. However, at online and retail shoe stores, discounted boots are not to be found.

In the 1960's, Uggs became popular in Australia with the swimming and surfing crowd. California was the next stop for the fashion sensation. They are still the hottest footwear around.

Cozy Uggs slippers are made with sheepskin and are available in short and tall styles and in tan or brown color ranges. They have flat heels that makes it comfortable to be worn as a slipper around the house or on the street. They are wearable in winter as well as summer. A great feature of the interior is that they are odor free.

They were so functional and comfortable that they became a sensation and word of mouth spread of the newcomer. Sheepskin, you see, is more comfortable than cowhide and it breathes and circulates the air so your boots don't develop odors too quickly.

The fleece inside the shoe creates circulation that warms your foot in the winter and cools your foot in summer. It is a boot for any season. The same could be said for the slippers also. The tanned outer surface and wool inner lining can be worn without socks. The most comfortable shoe you can choose is Uggs Australia.

If you ever wondered where the word Ugg derived from, the common interpretation was "ugly boot." The sheep shears in Australia who first crafted the boot thought they looked ugly. The name stuck. Not that men's Ugg boots are ugly today, the early frontier version was the ugly kind, but functional and warm.

Today there is a wider number of designs to choose from for men and women's Ugg boots. There is the classic Ugg boot and newer designs in a variety of colors and materials. Women's crochet designs got the nod from Oprah Winfrey "Favorite Things" segment with their knitted upper part and come with a sheepskin sock liner. Uggs are available in various lengths and colors. Other Ugg boot designs have incorporated design features that sport a slimmed down upper part along with some styles including a laced look.
