A Vacuum Even I Can't Destroy in a Year.

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:27:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I have a long and tortured history with vacuum cleaners. I tend to run through them quickly, with most models only lasting me a year or so. I don't see myself as a rough person, or a poor housekeeper, but I have an uncanny ability to destroy vacuum...

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 11:45:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - Robbie Feaver is quite skilled at breaking the rules. As adulterer, a liar and a briber of Judges he is the perfect example of the proverbial scoundrel. However, he is also gifted with an innate sense of decency and loyalty that eludes many of those who...

Archived Kids & Family Reviews: My Stack of Naked Barbies

Wed, 1 Nov 2000 12:51:02 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - This is a cautionary tale. No, not a feminist diatribe against the evils of Barbie and her perfect body. I honestly believe the if I ensure my daughter knows she is loved because of the unique individual she is, and not her physical attributes, she can...

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 13:06:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I have to begin by telling you I was completely mesmerized by this book. After the first few pages I became so engrossed with the story that it was hard to put the book down. David Baldacci, for those who have not read him, is very similar to John...

A Tuff Waste of Money

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - How do I hate these toys? Let me count the ways. I bought these toys not realizing that professional wrestling had sunk to new lows. To me wrestling was the cartoonish show of my childhood, with several of the moves along the lines of the Three Stooges...

The Perfect Toy Kitchen!

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 11:52:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - Only a Mom could have such a strong opinion about a large piece of plastic. This is my daughter's second toy kitchen, so I am speaking with a modest amount of authority on the subject. I also played with those ugly green Suzy Homemaker toys as a child,...

Please Put the Dogs Back In!!!

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 23:30:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - Don't get me wrong. I love Nickelodeon. My preschooler's love the morning Nick Jr. shows, they and my older children love the other shows and I am a huge fan of Nick at Night, I'd rather watch that than most network programming.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - After I cut it up, I burnt the little pieces. I was afraid he would try and put it back together again and rent another video. Which I just can't have, after watching Any Given Sunday, he has forever lost his renting privileges.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I segued into this diet after I gave up (ran away??)from Atkins. I learned from Atkins that I do better eating fewer carbohydrates. I found Atkins too restrictive, so I went searching for a better alternative based on similar principles.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 21:15:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - Actually this isn't really a review. This is more of a rant. I woke up today and my inner bi......er.......not so nice person was yearning to be free, so I figured might as well get it off my chest. I know this will instantly be buried beneath all the...

Bubble Fairy Bust

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 11:05:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I have to admit I didn't set out to buy this product. I found it on a clearance rack and thought "what the heck, it's cheap". Cheap is the operative word. Bubble Fairy Theresa doesn't work.

The concept of the doll is you snap a...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I wish I could give a more complete review of this ride, but I blacked out with boredom about half way and fell to the floor of the little car I was riding in.

It begins with the usual Disney pattern. You wait in line to basically .......wait...

Atkins, a good idea taken too far

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 23:47:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - The interesting thing about Atkins is that it does have some good points. We don't really need to fill our bodies full of all those simple carbohydrates. We do however, need more healthy carbohydrates than this diet allows.

I picked this diet...

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 23:00:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - There really isn't a problem with the Contemporary Hotel at Disney World. The rooms are fairly spacious and clean. It also sits right on a Monorail line (is there anyone left on earth that doesn't know the Monorail runs right thru the hotel?) If you...

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 23:31:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CeeJay62 - I know this is going against the tide of opinions. It is probably a matter of teaching an old dog new tricks, not that I am admitting to being old. However, I have found in my few excursions with Priceline that I can do better myself with the old...
