MassArt sculpted my life

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 13:19:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - Upon entering MassArt in 1988 as an 18-year-old, I soon realized mine would not be the average college experience.

For starters, the average incoming "freshman" was 28 years old- we had plenty of grandparents in our classes as...

It's all fun & games until someone loses an eye.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - This baby gym lasted 2 days in our home. While it seemed harmless enough at first, our 4-month-old quickly learned how to grab one leg & tip it in the air. When he let go, the leg came down on his face...so we ditched it.

In retrospect,...

No "Obstructed View" seats

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 01:58:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I was a huge fan of the old Gahhhden, and really hated that a Boston landmark was being torn down- only to be replaced by the shiny, corporate "Fleet Center."

So, I got over it. My last Bruins game at the Garden, and first B's game...

Calling all BIG Eaters!

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 00:06:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - Vinny Testa's is my whole family's favorite Italian restaurant.

We've been to three different locations over a dozen times in the last year, and not once have we had a less-than-superb experience.

All the dishes are HUGE! They have...

Mmmm, worth the wait.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - Redbones in Davis Square is the best Boston area place for barbeque!

The food is excellent, portions are more than adequate, and service very friendly and FUN. Prices are great,too. Their beer selection is the best in the Square.

Ugh! An embarrassing moment every day!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 01:45:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I purchased one box of these disposable nursing pads, and was extremely unimpressed. Frustrated, even. The generic brand I received from the hospital fared better than these!

Not only were they flat discs (as opposed to concave), but they...

Perfect for us!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 01:24:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - The mere concept of storing away 101 CD jewel cases from our baby's prying hands was reason enough for my husband & I to purchase this home stereo component. We have great praise for the Pioneer family of components.

The 958 has a classic...

Mercata: Great Deals

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 00:00:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I joined Mercata while they offered their $50.00 incentive for new members.

I really did not have very high expectations, subscribing to the "ya get what ya pay for" belief...

BUT- those 50 "Mercata Dollars"...

Don't miss the Winterlude Festival

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 23:28:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - My husband and I frequently visit Canada, preferring the colder climate for our winter vacations, and the occasional hockey tournament. We decided that Ottawa was our favorite Canadian city to visit in winter (or, "en hiver" if you prefer-...

Stuck fine for me!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 16:14:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - While it seems most reviewers had problems with the suction cups holding, I did not have any problems whatsoever.

As the enclosed instructions recommend, even if you do not have "non slip" patches in your tub, it is sometimes...

My Favorite Shower gift

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 15:42:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I was given two of these Boppy's as shower gifts, and I am so happy with them!

The Boppy was the perfect gift for a nursing mom, and it was especially helpful to me because I had a C-Section, and it kept baby's weight off my incision.

Great Stacking/nesting toy

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 14:54:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - These nesting action vehicles are a big hit with my 9-month-old. In the beginning, we used them to play "hide and seek" by placing the smaller vehicles inside the larger ones. Eventually, my baby learned how to put them together (these are...

Instant Monkey!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 03:55:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - Have you ever wondered if your baby has a wild side?

This Graco Bumper Jumper has got to be the most fun and exciting baby bouncer on the market!

Our baby was jumping and prancing back and forth in this jumper the minute he was...

An unexpected hit!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 03:21:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I had seen these Activity Keys in the store, but didn't think they looked "interesting" enough (well, with all the electronic toys around now...)

But, my baby went to visit his 2-year-old cousin, and grabbed her Activity Keys and...

Must-Have for Work-At-Home-Parents!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 02:54:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - I absolutely LOVED our NoJo Sling.

It was easy to use once we got the hang of it, very lightweight, and comes in attractive patterns/colors.

My baby was carried in the sling for most of the day up until 6 months, and I really feel it...

Sour-Apple Candy Taste

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 02:35:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - Having been satisfied with other Woodchuck Ciders, I recently tried this one on advice of a friend.

My first reaction was that it tasted like sour-apple hard candy. Much too sweet for my taste, although it had a perfect level of tartness...

Saved my real phone from destruction!

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 01:58:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - This toy is GREAT! Since he was about 6 months, my baby constantly grabbed for my phone, threw it on the ground...

I was very excited to see that VTech had a "baby" phone, and purchased one recently. At first, my baby seemed to...

Baby's Favorite Toy

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 01:46:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JulesH - He loves to press the plunger on top, get the animals spinning, and try to grab them on their way around.

The buttons along the base depict an animal, shape, and number. With each successive press to a button, the toy tells baby the name of...
