Yes, 80 dollars worth of Boppy. I should get a Christmas card from the company. I got my first two... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~887241 Sun, 27 Aug 2000 15:33:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-BC5-3161EB51-39A95BB1-prod5?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-7571-94FAA6-39A72DBC-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - Okay, you don't NEED this sling. The $40 NoJo or OTSBH or Maya will do you just fine. But oh, it's fun. And you'll look really, really cool. Well, as cool as you CAN look w/ a baby attached to you, but still. I had the NoJo and a sling I made with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~887377 Sat, 26 Aug 2000 00:11:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-7571-94FAA6-39A72DBC-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-1DCF-40E890A-39A5C8BE-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I use a diaper service for my pre-folds and I'd had the devil's own time finding a cover I liked. I haven't had luck with velcro--it always seemed to be rolling, and there is little as upsetting as finding your baby's soft belly skin rubbed raw. So... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~887483 Thu, 24 Aug 2000 22:27:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-1DCF-40E890A-39A5C8BE-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-3A75-874C488-39406C69-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I don't have a serious problem with most of Dragontales. I certainly don't mind the magic or the dragons. I mean, it IS a fairytale after all. Magical things happen, doesn't mean Satan's at work. But those kids--ugh! Frankly I've had to re-evaluate... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~896309 Fri, 9 Jun 2000 01:22:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-3A75-874C488-39406C69-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-3215-22145A9-38E17CFB-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I'm starting a grass-roots movement to enforce some sort of minimum standard of quality for children's videos. I've seen bad tapes--Bananas in Pajamas ran in my house for a couple of hours straight. But this...this is...BAAAAAAAD. Admittedly, I'm not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1114499 Wed, 29 Mar 2000 00:59:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-3215-22145A9-38E17CFB-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mags-review-5079-98A512C-38E10733-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I generally loathe parenting magazines. The vast majority are the Fretful Mother Magazine, "could your stoneware be poisoning your child?" TV-news inspired drivel. At the other end of the spectrum are the seriously granola "Hip... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~871933 Tue, 28 Mar 2000 16:59:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mags-review-5079-98A512C-38E10733-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-42EB-6D922FC-3872A8AE-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I have to leave the room when Out of the Box is on. My 2.5 year old adores it and loves the hosts, Tony and Vivian. It makes my eyes hurt and my ears bleed. The hosts are crystal-meth perky and the kids on the show, while not the Barney zombies, are... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~941806 Tue, 4 Jan 2000 23:22:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-42EB-6D922FC-3872A8AE-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-7A04-6D79D6F-3872A4C9-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - Rolie Polie Olie is a retro-futuristic computer animated cartoon. The stories revolve around Olie Polie, a robot boy about 7 years of age, and his family--Mom, Dad, Pappy (grandfather), Zoe (little sister, about 2 or 3), and Spot (the dog).

I figured for the stuff I'm going to tackle on my own, I couldn't need more than a plain ol' Black and Decker one-speed drill. And that's what I had for a long time. Then, when we bought a house, we got the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~858166 Sat, 11 Dec 1999 00:28:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-58E0-1BB23795-3851BB88-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-668-1BAFDCDA-3851B581-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - This is what strollers are supposed to look like. With the bassinet attachment, it's the classic European pram. With the seat, it's a crisp little push chair. Love it. A Swedish product, this thing is built to last.

My $40 Osterizer gave up the ghost after only a year and a half. I decided to go for the high-end blender. I kinda wanted chrome, so I got a nice shiny blender--crappy plastic base,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~858618 Tue, 16 Nov 1999 02:08:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-7166-ECCBDAB-3830E463-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-A36-EE9A007-3830E215-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - After a bad experience with a plastic "chrome" blender, I decided to get the original, the Waring Classic. Waring invented the blender, so they've gotta know what they're doing, right? And what a good looking blender, so...so....blender-y.

It's a pretty simple thing (which is good), if a little costly for what it is. There is a mat for the child to lay on--ours was the black and white model(boring, but it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~947552 Thu, 4 Nov 1999 01:16:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-72A7-8ABA029-38210677-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-1032-1EC4097-380FC82F-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I saw The Little Mermaid in the theater when it came out. I absolutely loved it--the animation, the music. When my daughter was born, I bought a copy on video when it was rereleased (the non-penis box version, I'm afraid). I popped it in, ready to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1161413 Thu, 21 Oct 1999 23:22:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-1032-1EC4097-380FC82F-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/book-review-3E4B-BBCEA01-38093148-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - This is one of those books that stays with you. Little glimpses will pop into your head years after you read it. It is lyrically written and funny to boot. I read it in a book club, and many members had trouble getting into it, or simply gave up.

And no, I couldn't just slap her in a stroller. YOU listen to her cry. I got this Kelty because it was the middle model. It had more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~953318 Sat, 16 Oct 1999 00:34:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/otdr-review-101F-13989E54-3807EF1B-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/book-review-4AB0-13947BBA-3807E485-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - This is a book for parents or teachers looking for ways to avoid punitive discipline. Jane Neslen teaches ways to gently guide children in their social development without spanking, time-out, or guilt.

It has a 90% rate of drug-free births, a much better average than that of Lamaze. The emphasis is on teaching the woman and her partner how to give birth on their own terms.

Not all of them can please everyone. And most of them don't please me. But this one did.

Lovely. But, at the time, I was living in a 3rd floor walk-up apartment. It would not have been practical to haul a 30 lb stroller up those... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~947823 Mon, 4 Oct 1999 22:36:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-423-DC2ED56-37F95337-bd4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-13AF-50B8413-37F80F01-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - When we went to look for a booster seat for our newly-over 40 lbs daughter, I was not looking to get an Eddie Bauer. The very idea of paying for that logo is loathsome. However, turns out it was actually cheaper than many of the others and was the best... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~947831 Sun, 3 Oct 1999 23:29:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-13AF-50B8413-37F80F01-bd1?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-3779-B27CF19-37F53006-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I cannot recommend the BabySling highly enough. My daughter was born small (7lbs) but gained quickly--25 lbs by 8 months. And she needed to be held a LOT. I needed a carrier that didn't hurt my back and kept her close by. She wasn't especially happy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~947854 Fri, 1 Oct 1999 19:28:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-3779-B27CF19-37F53006-bd3?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/trvl-review-2A19-1067F3E-37D864D1-prod1?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DWG - I spent just under four years living in Heidelberg and I highly recommend it as a travel destination.
