Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:16:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - My TiVo is set to capture documentaries that might pop up from time to time. The generic, pictureless description provided by the TiVo service offered me a wide variety of possible entertainment levels for this film. I am interested in nature and I am...

Kleenex Cottonelle Fresh Folded Wipes Keep Me Nice and Clean

Sat, 7 Feb 2004 21:30:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - Everybody poops. I call it having to "go-go," which is derived from having to "go" when talking about having to pee. (Incidentally, if things get runny during "go-go" time, I call it "go-go-go.") I find personal hygiene to be very important. It may...

Smooth ME Elliptical - An Actual Customer's Review

Tue, 15 Jul 2003 17:45:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - I had recently used my OrbiTrek elliptical machine to death. In November, 2002, I decided to train for 20-30 minutes 5 times a week, and eventually, the wimpy Orbie couldn't withstand my daily use. The OrbiTrek was a good starter machine for me, at a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - The Purchase Back in the summer of 2000 or so, I had seen the OrbiTrek several times and began wondering if I could stick to a workout program if it were as fun as the infomercial made it look. They promised no stress on the joints and even had a...

Tue, 12 Nov 2002 12:00:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - These are contact lenses that are similar to most other colored contacts out there, in that there is a ring of color (in this case, white) around a clear center for your pupils to see through. Their moisture content seemed reasonably comfortable,...

Thu, 9 May 2002 18:05:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - My Mom requested I find her some good all-day lipstick for Mother's Day. Well, I'd just about had it with the "long-wear" lipsticks after trying a few different brands a couple years back and finding they tend not to live up to their promises. I'd...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - I was happy to find a familiar name - Comfort Inn - in Dixon, Illinois, while traveling to this small town for a weekend. The other option was to stay at the Super 8 next door, but since my companion and I were hoping for a pool to swim in, and nicer...

Tue, 5 Mar 2002 11:24:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - I did. I was fed up with trying to get my bagels to fit, trying to fiddle out those small English muffins or short pieces of bread, trying to get longer slices of bread to fit without a flipping circus, etc. This was it; I was on a mission to find the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - Ahh, State Farm Insurance. Makes you think of that commercial jingle, doesn't it? Gives you that warm, secure feeling. "...State Farm is there." Well, it turns out, this large company has become a "fat cow" over the years, content to put forth the...

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 17:02:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - Once I started playing this game, I was (pardon the pun)hooked! This game has everything and really takes some "strategizing".

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 13:57:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author XSarenkaX - I went to see A.I., despite its mediocre reviews, because, like many of you, I was curious to see how a Kubrick/Spielberg hybrid film would turn out. But the
