Here's how to tell: buy this dirt cheap coffeemaker. Plug it in, fire it up, drink the results. And then come back and tell us what you're made of, because only the cheapest cheapskate in the history of cheapness can live... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~373833240196 Sat, 9 Jun 2007 15:46:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_373833240196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_292742532740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - Christmas in the Manger is everything that a board book should be: both Nola Buck's text, a poetic retelling of the Christmas story, and Felicia Bond's colorful illustrations, are simple yet engaging; this is a book that will hold a strong... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~292742532740 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 12:58:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_292742532740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_290881965700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - It was a sad day when my beloved Braun coffee grinder bit the dust, but there is only so much one can expect from a cheap appliance with an even cheaper plastic lid.

I've reviewed an earlier formula of Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock and didn't like it one bit. If I had remembered how much I disliked the original formula, or if there had been anything else on the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~282256903812 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 12:42:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_282256903812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_246523072132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - Neutrogena sunscreens: sometimes I tolerate and almost like them, sometimes I hate them. Price matters for many of us, and Neutrogena offers good quality (if not perfect) sun protection at a reasonable price. Neutrogena's Age Shield Sun Block SPF 45... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~246523072132 Sat, 5 Aug 2006 20:36:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_246523072132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238641974916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - I have a HP Deskjet printer. I have no problems with it, but once in a while it runs out of ink. Then I have to put in new cartridges. And it's no fun at all to figure out how to do that.

For most purposes they do not take the place of a regular vacuum. They do not have the cleaning power of a good upright; they work slowly; and they require frequent cleaning. But what they can do they do well, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~236788485764 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 12:38:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_236788485764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_224852610692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - The words "Paramount Plaza" and "resort" do not belong in the same sentence--unless that word "resort" is preceded by the word "last." This is a property that has seen its day--a very, very distant day. If it didn't bill itself as better than it is,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224852610692 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 11:40:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224852610692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186389270148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - Our yard is a bug magnet: with a pasture behind the house and a small stream nearby, it's mosquito heaven. Bug repellenet is a must, and so is sunscreen: even when the Texas sun is going down, it's still capable of scorching unprotected skin. Coppertone... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186389270148 Sat, 18 Jun 2005 11:47:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186389270148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186187943556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - Big dog, big appetite, right? WRONG. This is the story of a Woman who knows nothing about dogs, and a Dog who puts up with a lot of trial and error. Fortunately, I found Nutro Max Natural -- one of the few brands that Dogzilla will eat.

At the time he was three; now he's five, and still enjoys playing his Hotwheels game. And that's the main reason why I recommend this game for any kid who loves cars and computers: even after completing the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185786797700 Sat, 11 Jun 2005 02:23:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185786797700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185694064260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - How can I explain my love/hate relationship with Neutrogena? More often than not, I'm disappointed with their products. But once in a while, they get it right, and this is one of those times. Here are the things that I like about Active Breathable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185694064260 Thu, 9 Jun 2005 22:37:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185694064260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174478364292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - I'm not a fan of Neutrogena sunscreens, so there was really no excuse for me to buy the hype, and buy this product. But the reviews, on Epinions and elsewhere, are so very positive, and there was a sale on at drugstore.com, so I bit. And now I'm here... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174478364292 Wed, 23 Feb 2005 17:50:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174478364292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_164470361732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - I first heard about Silhouettes via a print catalog, and was pleased to find that they had an online store as well. As many reviewers here have said, it can be very hard to find large size clothing that is stylish, sized well, and priced appropriately... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~164470361732 Tue, 7 Dec 2004 20:06:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_164470361732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_164465380996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - Before you write that comment--yes, I know that casinos are smoky. I'm somewhat of a veteran of the Biloxi casino scene, as my elderly Dad lives in the area and playing the slots is one of the few things that he can still enjoy (that, and making fun of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~164465380996 Tue, 7 Dec 2004 19:03:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_164465380996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160371805828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - I've stayed at this Radisson twice, both times because a convention I was attending picked this as the convention hotel. I don't remember it being so bad the first time I stayed. This time, however, I found it to be a poorly run, badly maintained,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160371805828 Wed, 3 Nov 2004 00:16:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160371805828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_157905161860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Skeptic - The Hampton Inn Houston-Northwest is a decent place to stay. It's newish, convenient, and fairly well maintained. We had a room with two double beds, on the first floor.

It is part of the University's School of Hotel Administration, so many of the employees are students who are learning on the job.
