The Sharper Image Sound Soother 20 SI677: As the name implies---Soothing....

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 01:11:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I purchased the Sharper Image Sound Soother 20 SI677 in April 2004 shortly after I had my first child. The disrupted night sleep schedule caused me sleep problems and made me more sensitive to waking from outside noise. Desperate for some...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I have long been a fan of products by Better Living. The company produces a number of different wall-mounted dispenser products, which can be used to dispense liquid soaps, shampoos, and similar liquids for your bathroom or kitchen. I've owned one of...

Utterly unimpressive.

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 19:02:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I purchased X-Men: The Last Stand solely on the strength of the first two X-Men movies. Ten minutes into my first viewing I feared that I had made a terrible mistake. Here's the scene: Scott (Cyclops), still distraught over the...

A tropical feast for dry, damaged hair!

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 17:56:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - This shampoo has been the only one I buy for my own hair since 2001. My hairdresser first recommended it to me after I impulsively had my hair permed while working in another part of the country. The perm, coupled with a few months of hard water and...

Oregon Scientific BAR898HGA Long Range Atomic Weather Station: Great little remote temp monitor, alarm clock and more!

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 02:34:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I ended up buying three of these to max out the three remote temperature/humidity monitor locations. One is permanently mounted outdoors to give a reading of current outdoor conditions. #2 and #3 float depending on time of year--in spring they spend time...

The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be, but she still kicks!

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 03:14:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - At the time of this writing, my '94 Chrysler LHS has over 145,000 miles on it, and is still performing faithfully. Her color is the platinum clearcoat--hence she's now the "old gray mare." As the title suggests, she doesn't perform quite the way she...

3M 3M Filtrete(tm) Air Filter - 6 Pack Air Purifier: I've been breathing this junk?!???

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 02:42:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - In the past three months I've become an unwilling expert on allergies and indoor air quality. It all started during a Christmas visit when an old, moldy humidifier triggered a severe reaction. Since then it's been hives every night unless I take...

Ultimate in comfort for baby on the move

Sun, 17 Oct 2004 01:32:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - The Ergo carrier is the third baby-wearing device I purchased (I own four) since my daughter, Lara, was born on April 1st of 2004. She came out weighing a hefty 9 lbs 7 oz and gained a steady ½ lb a week for the first four months. At every well baby...

Know thy enemy--whether lawn or weeds!

Sat, 9 Oct 2004 17:59:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - This year I decided to get serious about the lawn. We live on 11 acres, and I had spent weeks dutifully hand-weeding our dandelion, dock, prickly lettuce, lambs-quarter and creeping charlie-infested yard. It still looked like heck, and since my husband...

Baby likes it!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - As a long-time computer geek and first-time mother, I've been quickly dunked into the dizzying world of baby paraphernalia. The infantino EuroRider was one of the items my family gave me at our baby shower. Baby Lara is 4 weeks old now, and the...

In a word, PONDEROUS.

Sat, 24 Jan 2004 16:53:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - As a long-term addict of the first two Masters of Orion games, I had high hopes for MOO3. When my new game came in, I eagerly ripped the box open and installed the disks. I immediately went to the web and downloaded the v1.02 patch. I use a standard...

Sat, 17 Jan 2004 20:38:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - Ultimately, all my investments will be held at an Edward Jones branch. That doesn't mean that they'll all start there. But if you understand how this wonderful little brokerage house works, you'll see that it has a very special place in the financial...

Make the most of your money!

Thu, 8 Jan 2004 00:41:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - When it comes to money, I'm a bit of a control freak. Our multiple checkings, savings, credit card, and investment accounts are balanced to the penny on a weekly basis. I keep close tabs on due dates, minimum balance requirements, and when promotional...

An epic saga, a comedy of errors...

Sat, 3 Jan 2004 17:22:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - Before I launch into this saga, let me preface by saying that I am still a satisfied customer of Chase Manhattan's credit card department. All errors were ultimately corrected, and the rewards program on the Chase Stockback card is top notch. I have...

Disappointing to the strategy gamer, frustrating technical issues

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 00:58:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I love strategy games. I'm a long-term addict of the Masters of Orion series and Starcraft (my support group meets 5 nights a week :-). I purchased Hegemonia looking forward to another addictive gaming experience. The best parts of this game are...

Automatic Vitamin and Pill Organizer Without Timer: Great concept, but mechanically flawed--don't do it!

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 18:22:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I take several kinds of vitamins and supplements every day, and the automatic pill organizer from Sharper Image looked like a smart and efficient way to fit my daily supplements into my busy life. There were a lot of them listed as reconditioned from...

Well-designed, practical and economical solution for low-intensity aerobic workout

Tue, 23 Dec 2003 01:50:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - My husband and I purchased this bike a couple weekends ago to give me a safe exercise option during pregnancy. At six months now I'm getting clumsy, and the wintry conditions here in Nebraska make outdoor activity uninviting. A recumbent cycle makes...

A great comfort in winter!

Sun, 21 Dec 2003 02:25:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - This blanket was a Christmas present from my mom-in-law (obviously since it's Dec 20th today I couldn't wait until Christmas to try it!). My husband and I don't like running up the heating bill, so we keep the thermostat low, heat the main living space...

Got a great credit history and good income? MBNA will help you over financial humps

Sat, 20 Dec 2003 19:41:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I use and abuse credit card companies. Sometimes I’m ashamed of it, but I can’t resist rolling those 0% balance transfers. A month or two before the 0% intro rate expires, I get a new 0% card and roll the balance onto that, cancelling the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I originally purchased this unit to replace an inkjet multifunction color which worked great but ate ink regardless of whether you used the printer or not. I researched the cost of replacement toner cartridges before I purchased the printer. The C4092A...

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 01:37:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I purchased my 55-gallon All-Glass aquarium used with full aquarium accessories for a steal of $150. The 55-gallon tank had a cross-piece support which had snapped at the center and near the glass at both ends. Previous glueing attempts very obvious...

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 21:55:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Ralleia - I signed up with PhoenixDSL in May of 2000. It was a great deal--full rebate on the DSL modem, $39.99 a month for unlimited access, free very low-end digital camera, free installation, one year contract. I placed my order 30 May, got installed about 10...
