Got My Moneys' Worth and More

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 14:29:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - I always thought that the advertising claims of Geico Direct Auto Insurance were somewhat padded in their favor, so I stayed away from them. Frankly, it all seemed just too good to be true. I occasionally phoned them to get a quote, but never...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - Although I have read several reviews here that criticized the now-defunct

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - Always on the lookout for a new treat for my white-eyed conure, Liberty, I spotted Avi-cakes by Lafeber's - a new product at the time at a local pet shop. Unlike ordinary birdseed clusters, this product was a soft, chewy little "cake"...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - Most tourists arrive awestruck in New York City, guidebook and camera in hand, looking over their shoulders, overwhelmed by the glitter of the "Greatest City in the World". True, New York City is hard to beat, but tucked far away, high on...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - After years of being a Garden Claw loyalist, I never believed a product would come on the market that could upstage such a wonderful garden tool. To my amazement, it has - the Garden Claw Gold. This incredible device simply makes the best garden tool...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - After seeing countless in-flight catalogs for SkyMall while traveling by plane, I'd always resisted the urge to order from them due to their inflated prices on many articles frequently found elsewhere for less. I finally succumbed one day when I came...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - I was all excited preparing for my first trip to the Bahamas. Lulled by numerous television and magazine ads for this "island paradise", I could barely wait for our departure date to arrive!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 20:14:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - Yes, folks, I am one of the last to admit it, but this time, Mother was right when she said "Money doesn't grow on trees". I doubt Mom had any technical insight into the future and predicted the highly disappointing "TreeLoot"...

StartSampling.Com: And They're Off!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 19:43:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - The fairest way to describe Start Sampling is to compare it to a horse race - a crowd of eager people repeatedly rush up to the gate expecting big winnings, yet only a handful actually come away with anything. Such is the atmosphere at Start Sampling, a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - In the many years that my husband and I have traveled, we experienced both the pleasure and displeasure of sampling all the major airlines.

Not Quite a Home Run...

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 01:51:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - As a native New Yorker, I'm fanatically loyal to the New York Yankees. Their home stadium however, is another story. Yankee Stadium, called "The House that Ruth Built", is quite a disappointing "home" for a team that has cornered...

Cumbersome!

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 05:38:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BermyRose - I am truly disappointed in my purchase of the HomeLite Easy Reach Trimmer. Judging by its name, I expected a light, east-to-operate trimmer that I, as a woman, could handle. Talk about a disillusionment!
