(ARA) - Parents (and kids) spend a lot of time in the car running errands, driving to and from school, playdates and after-school activities. This can easily add up to 10 hours a week spent on the go, especially for younger siblings who may spend even more road time as they go along for the ride, shuttling brothers and sisters from place to place. As every car-pooling parent knows, too much time in the back seat can make for crabby kids. Here are a few ways to keep kids entertained in the car, guaranteed to keep impatient cries of "are we there yet?" to a minimum. Carry an activity box znicze z miodem sklep pszczelarski sklep oline znicze In addition to driving time, kids spend a great deal of time simply waiting in the car while errands are run or soccer games wrap up. Since kids' activities inevitably run late, kids waiting in the car are likely to get irritable and bored rather quickly. Give them something to do while they wait by creating an activity box using a shoe box or plastic container. Fill it with fun things and stock up on crayons and coloring books, puzzles, books and inexpensive toys or games from discount stores. Pop in their favorite book on tape or CD (and don't forget to pack headphones for the adults in the car!) Fire up a movie More and more family vehicles come equipped with DVD players as part of the car's audio system, making it easy to keep children entertained. If your vehicle doesn't have a DVD player built in, consider investing in a portable DVD player, or use your laptop as a movie screen. Bring along an assortment of movies and you'll be in for a smooth ride. Online DVD rental services like Netflix make it easy to stock up on a variety of movies. As a member of Netflix, you can choose from more than 15,000 titles and keep the DVDs for as long as you want without the hassle of late fees. For $19.95, busy parents can rent an unlimited number of DVDs, keeping three out at a time. Netflix makes returns easy -- simply put the DVDs in their stamped, addressed envelopes and drop them in any U.S. mailbox as you commute from soccer to ballet lessons. Get out and stretch If you have extra time between activity stops, find a park or playground and let the kids run around for a few minutes. Keep a wiffle ball and bat or a Frisbee in the trunk for a few quick throws. Even a short time outside the car and a breath of fresh air can make a big difference. Pack snacks A hungry kid is a grumpy kid. Keep your car stocked with convenient, non-perishable snacks like crackers, dried fruit or granola bars to keep kids satiated without ruining dinner appetites. Carry juice boxes or bottled water in the car as well. Play Games If all else fails, revert to your childhood and teach the kids "old fashioned" games such as spotting license plates from every state or finding every letter of the alphabet on roadside signs. Or better yet, many popular board games now come in travel sizes so your kids can play Connect Four or Battleship on the go. Being stuck in traffic may not be your idea of a good time, but the kids will be entertained and not so irritable. For more information on movie rental and membership, visit www.netflix.com.

Dating For Short Guys

Okay… so at your tallest most rigid stance, you stand only 5’4. Who cares as long as you have the personality, the sense of humor and the confidence to pull it through?

Dating short guys is not necessarily the horrendous mistake a woman will make. In fact, most women agree that height does not matter and often dating short guys is even better than dating their overgrown counterparts. They might dream of a tall Lancelot to whisk them away but in the end, qualities such as intelligence, wittiness and ambition outweigh all else.

So dating for short men should not be a source of anxiety but neither should you take things for granted. Here are some tips guaranteed to make dating a breeze for short guys.

Dress wisely

Appearance is important. Short guys who are dating should take careful heed of what they wear and how they wear them. There are ways to make short guys appear taller when dating. Wide pants, tweed pants and cuffed pants must be avoided at all cost. Short guys, when dating, should also stay away from double-breasted suits and horizontal stripes. They should instead wear straight leg pants, lightweight fabrics for pants and shoes with a little bit of platform. Pinstripes and single-breasted suits will also flatter the figure of a short guy when dating. Clothes in the monochromatic will also give an illusion of height.

Be clean and groomed

Short guys who are dating should also take time to style their hair and take care of other personal necessities and not just their clothes. Practice good grooming. Keep your hair short and your clothes clean.

Show off your personality

Dating short guys may not be the dream date that most girls ask for but it could be close. Compensate for being a short guy by giving her a big dose of your sense of humor.


Show her that dating a short guy can be fun and hilarious.

Listen attentively and be genuinely interested in what she has to say. You may be a short guy but you are considerate and a gentleman.

Exude confidence

Nothing can make a short guy appear taller than confidence. It will straighten your back and keep your head up high. Mentally think about all the things that make you better than the next “tall” guy. Remember that appearances are not everything. Love your self and the one you are dating will come to love you too. Nothing turns off a woman than a man who is insecure.

Go out there and meet people

Short guys won’t go dating if they stay at home and mope. Do not feel sorry for yourself. There are lots of short guys out there who are dating and having the time of their lives. Join organizations. Do volunteer work. Go to bars with friends. Watch a movie. The more people you meet, the more likely you will meet a person that is not only willing to date short guys but who will also genuinely like you.

Go after short women

Face facts. Tall women would usually go for taller men just to keep appearances. If you feel that tall women would not give you a chance, then go for the shorter side of the spectrum. For sure, short women are also as anxious about dating as short guys.
