A terrible back, in fact. Spinal fractures as a child, damaged discs as a teen, and then a whopper of a car accident in my late twenties leaving me with sometimes crippling sciatica pain. My back hurts a lot more often than it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~446708551300 Fri, 3 Oct 2008 08:53:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_446708551300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443112853124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - On our recent visit to the East Coast, my husband was itching to take me to a restaurant or three that he’d had the pleasure of visiting while about on business.

Whether it be candles, air fresheners, lotions, or perfumes, I have a gazillion, and I'm always on the lookout for more. This past birthday, my niece and nephew were at a loss as to what to get for me.

Hubby does most of the cooking, and I do most of the cleaning. Neither of us is master/mistress of all we survey, and our chores often overlap. Sometimes I’ll cook up a meal, and sometimes he’ll load... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442975620740 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:09:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442975620740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442858901124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - I have a memory. A memory of my dear neighbor Frank and me loading up the horses and heading into the Rocky Mountains. We rode up into the cathedral of towering peaks, enjoying the heady air above the layer of smog in the valleys.

For me, rice had always been something that had to be utterly slathered in something else&#151you know, &#147Spanish&#148 rice completely coated with tomato paste and spices, rice dishes with a zillion milligrams of sodium to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442703580804 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:51:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442703580804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442465160836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - When I was a kid, we had navel oranges. Only navels. Always navels. Which meant that, while some of our oranges were sweet, juicy, and seedless, just as many were dry, sour, mealy, and loaded with seeds. They were almost always a pain to peel, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442465160836 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:04:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442465160836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442181193348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - When I was a kid, my mother did her level best to drag me onto every tour bus and trolley she could find&#151she hated driving, she hated walking, and she wanted to sit and doze while still being able to brag of having &#147toured&#148 grand cities.

There, it&#146s out there, please take a moment to nod sympathetically and avert your eyes. It&#146s a hard row to hoe, but someone&#146s got to shoulder this burden. To my credit, my obsession came to good this time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441310809732 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:42:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441310809732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_440998923908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - My son is a great fan of dead pharaohs. Archaeology is his &#147thing,&#148 and so we&#146re always on the lookout for new and fun activities that will appeal to his interests. Normally, we go for more &#147serious&#148 excursions (last year found us... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~440998923908 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:19:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_440998923908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_436392595076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - We live in the &#147Intermountain West.&#148 Translation? We live in the high desert of the Great Basin. So, while we have cold winters, our summers are sweltering and arid.

Cat poop. Cat pee and cat poop stink. There, I&#146ve said it. That&#146s really what any review on kitty litter is about, isn&#146t it? Cat pee, cat poop, and how to minimize the smell. I&#146ve always had cats, since I was an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~435204361860 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:27:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_435204361860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432120499844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - I have a new fish. He&#146s a gorgeous fish, looks a lot like Blue, my old Betta, but with a tad more red in his fins. This Betta&#146s name is RAMBO. My hope is that his ultra-butch name will help him to be stronger and smarter than Blue.

You see, one year at summer camp was enough to let me know that a good dose of insect repellent was enough to leave me wheezing and gagging for an hour. Aerosol or pump, it didn&#146t... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431906590340 Thu, 29 May 2008 18:11:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431906590340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431792361092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - I am a sucker. I am, I am a complete sucker for any number of marketing ploys.

We were, frankly, dirt poor. It was a BIG purchase for us, and we felt it was something of an insurance policy for our yearly road trip. My parents always had AAA, and it seemed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431318666884 Sat, 24 May 2008 23:40:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431318666884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431179468420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - &#147You thus employed, I will go root away The noisome weeds which without profit suck The soil's fertility from wholesome flowers.&#148 &#150 William Shakespeare, The Tragedy of King Richard the Second.

We&#146ve always had dandelions, their pretty, bright yellow heads popping up here and there in the lawn. It&#146s never been a problem, we&#146ve never had a profusion of dandelions, but rather a few happy little bright spots here... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431077953156 Thu, 22 May 2008 20:26:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431077953156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430896811652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - My husband and I wander in and out of &#147hard core&#148 gardening.

I do, I love a rich chocolate, I love a happy mint, I love the way a chocolate-mint combination excites my mouth, thrills my belly, and makes me feel . . . well, happy. What I don’t like is the way happy mint chocolate translates to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429525470852 Sat, 10 May 2008 12:55:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429525470852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428050124420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Trawma - Star Wars, Bionicle, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Spongebob aside (as if they could EVER be aside!), my son loves himself some Marvel Comics characters.
