rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - Like most parents, we were under the impression that once our girls turned five years old, and passed the 40 pound mark, we could take them out of their baby car seats, and use only our "adult" seat belts.

After noticing that the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I have been buying "Woman's World" since it came out. Every week, there is a tempting, bright, new cover, and I just can't resist the $1.25 cover price.

Read it in two days flat!

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 02:33:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - When it comes to "Gap Creek," I totally agree with Mangy's opinion... It is unbelievable that this book was written by a man. It delves so much into the daily trials and emotions of a woman. And, how he describes the very act of childbirth so...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - "Bridges of Madison County" is not only a touching and beautiful story, but it is written in such a way that you feel you are witnessing it. Once you open it, you end up closing it soon after at the end, because you simply can not put it down...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 00:21:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I loved this show when it first aired on CBS. I am addicted to NBC's E.R., and hoped that this would be just as good. At first, I got taken in quickly by the characters, and the real-life atmosphere of the show. But, I have not even given it a chance...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I, too, have enjoyed this movie, ever since I was a kid. It is my favorite musical of all time. It is about a family, in the turmoil of happy times that began to turn rather bad. Along comes Julie Andrews to save the day! She brings sunshine and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - As the parents of triplets, my husband and I used to change approximately 30 diapers every single day, sometimes more. We often had to settle for what was on sale, what we had coupons for, or what someone gave us. Before we got them potty-trained, we...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I really enjoy E! It is like the People magazine of television, chock full of stories, gossip, and interesting things about America's celebrities. My favorite show that they offer is "E True Stories." It delves into little known facts behind...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - My family and I have visited this area several times over the years, though none of us actually ski. Canaan Valley is a gorgeous area where mountains and wildlife abound. It is central to many other tourist attractions, and there is plenty to do for...

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 02:47:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - Vince Gill is one of my favorite singers, when it comes to country music (which, I am not a huge fan of.) His voice is so unique, and sets him apart from all the others. His songs are filled with beautiful messages about love, life, and even death,...

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 01:01:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I am shocked and horrified that we Americans have made Jerry Springer popular. And, even worse than that, we have made him a millionaire! I think people that watch the Jerry Springer Show definitely have something lacking in the brain, and obviously...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jewel - I really use my 6-quart crock pot a lot! It was given to me as a wedding present, and I have used it so much over the years that I usually don't even put it away in the cabinet. It is great for cold days when you want hot soup ready for you when you...
