rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - When planning for my daughter-in-law's baby shower, I took a tour of the available bassinets and looked them over. The Graco Rocking Bassinet was so adorable I couldn't resist getting it for my expected grandson.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - After my 28 year old Maytag dryer bit the dust after many years of service with no problems, naturally I wanted to check out the new models. Because of the dependability and efficiency, there was no question what models I wanted to look at first.

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 15:49:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - About four years ago I bought a Nordic Track Classic Pro. The company I worked for had a program running that allowed us to buy one at a little lower than the going price. Since I was looking for something along this line, I called. I was a little...

Soft and creamy texture

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - When I came across Kiss My Face Olive Aloe & Moisturizer and tried a sample a couple of years ago, I knew I had found a product I would love.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - Because my weight was increasing year by year and I didn't feel as healthy and energetic as I should, I was becoming increasingly concerned. I happened to see a NutriSystem add on TV. I logged on and found their website. I had been on the NS diet...

Household Cleaners/Laundry: Clorox, I love you.

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 16:33:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - Several weeks ago I tried Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and have since bought four more. I keep one in the kitchen one in each of the bathrooms in my home and one in the car. They are so much easier than dealing with a dripping spray bottle. Just swipe...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - My husband and I have an in-ground swimming pool in the backyard and have surrounded it with stone to avoid having to mow grass near the pool.

Terrific sound

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 11:20:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - I bought my Bose CD/Radio because I wanted an unobtrusive piece of equipment I could put anywhere--living room, bedroom or family room.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - About a year and a half ago my husband bought me an Interplak rechargeable toothbrush. I was thrilled. He talked to the hygienist in our dentist's office before making the purchase, so we know we have a great product.

From the first time I...

Comfort and style

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 14:01:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - When my husband needed another car two years ago, we went to the dealer to look at used Lincolns. We were very fortunate to find a 1995 Lincoln Town Car with just over 20,000 miles. This car was in mint condition with not a nick or dent anywhere on the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - Last year when I retired I promised myself I would invest in a new treadmill. I had been using a ProForm for over 15 years, but wasn't happy with the old design. We also had to manually change the treadmill to go uphill. Just about the time I was...

Ouigi loves Pounce

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 11:37:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - My four-year old tabby, Ouigi, absolutely loves pounce. She is really finicky about most things, so I was surprised when she really latched on to these treats. All I have to do is shake the little can and she comes flying from wherever she is and sits...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - Because I have a swimming pool and spend a lot of time in the sun during the summer, I am super conscious of taking care of my skin and protecting it.

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 15:19:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - My husband and I go out a lot for lunch or early dinner and Ruby Tuesday is one of our favorites. From the start, at the door, you get friendly, efficient service and a great menu.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - I have been to Shoney's three times. Twice for breakfast on different trips and once for dinner. I won't go back under any circumstances.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - The first time I purchased New Balance was quite by accident. I have a wide foot and had been very unhappy with the way the shoes were fitting. I happened to be in a sports store buying hiking boots and the young man recommended I buy New Balance...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - I found Patricia Cornwell when a friend gave me From Potters Field to read. I got hooked immediately. I wait at the library door to get my name on the list to get her latest book. If the list is long, I go directly to the book store.

Touched me

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 19:26:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - I hated to finish this book because I didn't want to let go. The characters touched me deeply.

A little bit of Heaven

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 19:00:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - If you haven't been to Acadia National Park, you need to go! My husband and I fell in love with Acadia the first time we visited--about five years ago.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RetiredGramma - I have had my Braun coffeemaker for about four years and I am still happy with it.
