rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - When I first saw the low ratings for this, I was a little surprised. I read a few reviews and thought, "Did we go to the same place?"

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 12:01:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - The home I purchased in December 1999 came with a large yard. I really didn't comprehend what a large yard meant until I had to cut and trim it for the first time! Since I moved from an apartment, I did not have a lawn mower or trimmer or any garden...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - When I moved into my new home in December of 99, my wonderful father came to visit and help. One morning, he set out to find a Sherwin Williams paint store. He said that if he was going to paint, then he would only use Sherwin Williams. Lo and behold,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - I live in Cincinnati. We have lots of festivals. For a land-locked city, we even have a seafood festival! What the hey. I went with a friend for lack of anything else to do. We walked around, checked out the nasty breaded stuff and the hush puppies...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Hey, their cakes and other pastries aren't half bad either!!! Oh my gosh, if you've never tried any ice cream or doughnuts or coffee cakes or whatever from Graeter's, then you have NOT lived.

I wasn't a big fan of Graeter's until a co-worker...

Sun, 7 May 2000 19:19:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Awhile back, I wrote about the Braun coffee maker I have had for over ten years. It just wouldn't die, and so I was having a hard time replacing it. Well, my parents came for a visit and decided it needed to be retired, so they bought me a new one...

Makes Mowing the Lawn SO Much Easier

Sun, 7 May 2000 18:42:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - I didn't realize how big my lawn was UNTIL I cut it for the first time. The front slopes down a hill toward a creek. In fact, the yard is almost like a bowl, and it all slopes down toward the backyard. Makes mowing quite a challenge! It's a little...

Thu, 10 Feb 2000 14:36:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Awhile back, I wrote a review touting the virtues of Copernic 2000. I am a Webmaster, so I live on the Internet. Searching is a big part of that -- search for websites, software, code, resources, etc. I can't say I've found one specific search engine...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - I spend a great deal of time filling out forms on the Internet. As a Webmaster, I have to register for things, submit websites, access accounts, etc., etc. Of course, every one of these tasks usually requires a password or log-in or registration. Form...

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 15:24:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - I've got it all on my system -- the latest browsers (and some old ones, too. Being a Webmaster, I have to run THREE versions of Netscape to check my sites). MIE is my preferred browser, however, so I've loaded it up with pay for viewing items, every...

Nothing Like Warm Towels Fresh from the Dryer!

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 19:57:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - My Whirlpool washer and dryer are over four years old, so they are basically the same but with fewer features. Isn't that always the case? Regardless, they are both looking and working as good as new.

I was forced into this purchase in 1995...

GE Built-In Dishwashers : Not a Dishwasher for the Lazy

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:37:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - It's called a dishwasher, so naturally, you'd expect it to wash dishes....right? Okay, so then why do some dishwashers require you to practically pre-wash the dishes or else they come out all icky? Does this make any sense? No.

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 23:12:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - That probably sounds like a really weird thing to say, but I want my coffee maker to die, so that I can buy a new one! I hate to replace it, because it still does what it's supposed to do -- makes coffee! And it does it happily and without complaint.

Delightful Treasury of Recipes

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 12:14:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - This cookbook is a collection of recipes from thirty women who cook....okay, so nothing new. However, these women are all considered "chief cooks" or true chefs and so this book could not have been compiled until recently, because chefs have...

Thu, 6 Jan 2000 23:46:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Okay, so I am beginning to think that I have EVERY small appliance ever made -- scary, eh? However, there are some that sit on my counter and collect dust while others get used constantly. My food steamer is one of the work horses.

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 19:17:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Slowly, I am trying to buy into this "paperless society" concept. I have begun to purchase cooking software versus cookbooks. I communicate via email versus mail (unless I'm paying bills). My address book is in Outlook Express, my passwords...

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 21:56:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - My first experience with wine was a wine cooler. Ha, ha. What a joke! Then I progressed to White Zinfandel. Okay, not much better, but I still like White Zin. However, I really thought I should expand my horizons past the pink stuff. So, I started...

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:47:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - I will not buy a cookbook if it doesn't have pictures and LOTS of them. I like to know what the dish is supposed to look like just in case I mess it up. This cookbook meets this requirement. What I also like about it is that it lists recipes from A to...

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:42:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - People seem to have a love/hate relationship with their ISPs, and I think a lot of it is from misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations. I am a Webmaster by trade and have had email since before CompuServe became part of AOL, AOL was a little fish,...

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:32:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Caronis - Sometimes I feel like being at work is like going to elementary school all over again. I call weekdays "school nights", and if we dress alike, we joke that we called each other before school (the ONE time in their lives that females WANTED to...
