Whisker Lickin's: So your cats won't need a dentist.

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 15:22:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - My wife and I have four cats... her choice not mine. I mean I like cats, but enough is enough.... but that's another problem.

Two of the cats are yellow tabbies, and they have tartar problems. Our vet tells us that yellow cats have a tendency...

Pounce Hairball Remedy: End the Hwarfing

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 10:45:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Remember when Ren & Stimpy got into the business of selling Stimpy's hairballs? If only there was a market for hairballs, this disgusting aspect of cats wouldn't be so bad.

My wife and I have four cats, and of them, only one has a hairball...

Where are we again? Chili's.

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 10:54:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - First of all, I am not driven to try a new restaurant by my own desires. My wife, however, always wants to try new places, and she always falls for TV ads depicting food. So, to please her, we go.

We had lunch at Chili's while shopping at the...

StartSampling.Com: When do we Start Sampling?

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 10:14:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Like the old saying goes, "If it's too good to be true...". Now, StartSampling isn't a scam. It's just that they have nothing to offer.

I would think that sample sites have merit. By outsourcing the collection of demographic data and the...

Canon BJC 8200 Ink-jet Printer: The BJC 8200: Picture perfect.

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 13:18:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - I bought my BJC 8200 last fall online for $265, but just hadn't gone around to writing the review for some reason. Today, you can get this printer for under $200, a real bargain for this printer.

There is a never ending debate between those...

FreeSamples.com: FreeSamples.com: Please Sir, I Want More

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 23:34:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - If it's too good to be true...

Somehow FreeSamples.com got themselves mentioned in Newsweek about a month ago. I read the little blip about them and promptly went out and signed up. It is indeed free, and yes, they are willing to send you...

Sendmoreinfo.com: Sendmoreinfo.com: Send something, Anything!

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 23:18:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Like most of the other "Pay-to-X" offers out there, this one is worthless. We've seen pay-to-surf programs like Alladvantage cut their payments down until they were worthless (and become a lotto site in this case). I tried Sendmoreinfo for 1...

University Credit Union: Better Than A Bank

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 17:53:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - I am not fond of commercial banks, especially the big ones. They stick you with fees every time you turn around. A monthly fee for a checking account, $.50 per check if more than 20/month, $25 for an overdraft, etc. Unless you want accounts for your...

Black & Decker S500 ScumBuster Handheld Vacuum: Scumbuster: Less Elbow Grease

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 23:00:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - My wife and I live in an area with hard water. We've tried the Clean Shower and other brand sprays, but they cannot keep up and the shower gets brown and dingy. Plus, as the mineral stains build, the soap scum sticks to that and isn't dissolved by the...

Dustbuster VersaPack: Quick Cleanups

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 22:40:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - My wife and I have 4 cats. (Her idea, not mine.) All these cats shed a lot of fur and create a lot of "dust bunnies". Also, they track cat litter out from the litter boxes. So, there's a daily need for quick cleanups. Its a real pain to pull...

Diablo 2: Ain't Hell Fun?

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 17:52:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - First of all, if you did not like Diablo, then you probably won't like Diablo 2. This is not a new game. It is an expansion of the original, with more character classes, weapons, spells and skills, and bigger maps.

If you are entirely new to...

Brother IntelliFAX 1270E Plain Paper Fax: Intellifax 1270: Not A Bad Little Fax

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 15:26:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - I have a Brother 1270 in my home office. It is a pretty good little fax machine. I inherited it from an office supply company a year ago when it was already two years old. It has worked pretty hard over the years. It was serviced once under warranty. We...

Bugaboo Creek: Too Much Theme.

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 10:47:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Theme restaurants focus first on the atmosphere and second on the food. Bugaboo Creek is a decent steakhouse wrapped in a theme I found incredibly annoying.

First of all, I cannot knock the food. I have been there twice in 15 months. I went...

George Foreman Lean Mean Grill: Lotta Hype, But I Like It!

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 10:18:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - My wife has a thing for infomercials. It seems that every Saturday morning, she'll be surfing the cable channels watching Ron Popeil and the bunch. Luckily, she realizes that everything works great on TV and is usually a piece of junk in your home.

All Advantage: All Advantage: They laid an egg... and it wasn't gold!

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 18:25:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - I've been using AllAdvantage for a month now and just quit. Why? Because there's no money there. At the time I signed up, they were paying .53/hour up to 15 hours, with a maximum of $7.50, plus referral monies. Well, they cut the payout to .20/hour for...

First USA: Left Them, Came Right Back

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 20:25:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - The more Epinions I read about credit cards, the more grateful I am that I haven't had any bad experiences!

In Sept 94, my wife and I got our First USA VISA, only our 2nd card after our Discover. What attracted me most to this card was its...

People's Bank: An OK Card, Until A Better Offer Came Along

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 19:41:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Unlike most of the others here, I had a good experience with my PCCP card. People's was the first MasterCard that my wife and I got after our marriage. We kept it for 3 years, and I never had a problem with the bank.

We consolidated all our...

Copernic 2000: Copernic for better searches.

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 18:32:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Copernic2000 is the free version of the Copernic search engine. When you do a search with Copernic, you use many different search engines simultaneously. Since no single search engine contains more than a fraction of the web sites that exist, and since...

MBNA: My emergency card.

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 18:02:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - I worked part time for MBNA as a telemarketer for a month. (Yeah, I was one of those.) It conflicted with my day job so I gave it up. Being one of the "people", MBNA doesn't have employees, I got some insight from the inside. While every card...

Discover a great deal if you pay your bills. (Update 9/11)

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 17:27:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - (Updated 9/11)I first got a Discover card in 1996. I got it for 2 reasons: cash back and they took it at Sam's Club. I upgraded to the Private Issue card when that came out. (PI had an $18 annual fee but a 2% cash back. Recently, they got rid of the fee...

Computer Gaming World: Gamers should read it!

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 22:43:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Ten years ago, after buying my first computer I stopped at Electronics Boutique and bought a game and a copy of CGW. I filled out the card and have remained a subscriber ever since.

There are several things I like about the magazine. They...

FreeLotto: FreeLotto: Can't hurt to try.

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 22:11:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TCar - Sure the odds are long. You are bound to be struck by lightning before you win big. But, millions of Americans part with their hard-earned money for long odds and big bucks. Not me, I only play because it's free.

The site is very easy to use...
