I'd buy another

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 00:34:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - This is my second Sunfire. I loved my first one better, but I smacked it up. The cost of fixing air...

eBay: I bit at eBay and now I'm hooked

Wed, 14 Aug 2002 13:43:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - My friend Scott told me about his selling experience in Ebay - apparently he's got himself a lucrative little hobby dealing in toys.

I was intrigued. On the weekend, I hopped online and found a Franklin Mint Astrolabe for my boyfriend, for...

Self-propelled wonder goes to dead halt

Sun, 19 May 2002 12:26:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - This LawnBoy was a great thing.

Mom and Dad gave it to me a half-dozen years ago. My lawn used to take a good three hours to cut with a regular lawn mower. I would sweat my way up the hills, pushing and struggling, only to end up with aching...

IBM Via Voice 98 Home Edition: You talk, it types

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 16:04:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I hope you will ignore the actual errors in this review. This review is written by dictation to ViaVoice enhanced addition. This is a new software I purchased because of the restrictions I experience through repetitive stress injury.

Holy Harry! The devil made him do it!

Mon, 24 Dec 2001 01:39:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - Her father loves The Lord of The Rings. She loved the Harry Potter Movie. I loved The Bible. All of them are fiction. None of us read them closely enough.

Thank God for The Movies.

Here is where we go to get life in brief...

Buddy can you spare some scratch?

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 00:58:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - The kid was in kindergarten when she met her first louse.

I had met one earlier, much, much earlier. I should have warned her.

Little brown tear drops appeared on the shaft of her hairs, dangerous buggers, they contain lice, about to hatch...

Krispy Kremes Kome to Kanada

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 23:05:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I'd heard all about Krispy Kremes from my American friends, heard them ranting and raving and drooling and dueling over which Krispy Kreme location was closest to them and how darned quick they could get a fix on these donuts.

It meant little...

I wish I were Lemony Snicket

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 00:12:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I know Mr. Poe. Mr. Poe is the stuff of my worst nightmares. I feel like a Baudelaire child, a privileged youngster whose privileges got yanked out from under her by a few too many uncontrollable disasters.

I love these books, these tragic...

My boyfriend came clean

Sat, 21 Jul 2001 11:39:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - My new boyfriend has two dogs and a cat and a very unsavoury carpet.

It wasn't always that bad, but a round of muddy days this spring left the pearl-grey carpet in his studio looking sad and hopeless.

My mom has one of these Bissell Power...

I think I'll buy 12 of these

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 01:39:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I run a news room, a very small news room, but a seven-day a week operation. My film costs have doubled in the last year and I've had more environmental nut bars (although I'm one myself) poking around my office this last two years than I have ever...

Going for groovy? Rent this movie!

Wed, 30 May 2001 00:07:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I rented The Emperor's New Groove because Short Stuff begged me and because my fellow Epinioneers said it was a comedic hoot.

It was not. Sure it was cute, kind of funny in places, but mostly reliant upon slapstick humour, which isn't really my...

1996 Pontiac Sunfire: Hot and sexy, me and my car

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 12:07:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - My 1996 Pontiac Sunfire is my first car. It’s so hot and sexy and it’s darned near perfect for a 42-year-old woman starting out on her own in this world.

I’ve driven other cars, even owned other cars, but the Sunfire is MY FIRST CAR. Every other...

Balancing moisturizer that burns

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 23:02:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I was cleaning out my medicine cabinets and found a dozen or so moisturizers. I decided to put them all aside and use one at a time for a change. I buy way too much stuff.

Obviously one of the things I bought way too much of was Biore's...

Watkins Glen stands out in my mind

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 23:35:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - It's been many years, nearly a decade, since I visited Watkins Glen in New York State, along the Finger Lakes region.

Quite by accident my former husband and I stumbled upon this beautiful park while on our way to Lake Placid for a family...

The cheese stinks!

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 00:00:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson is a waste of money with its simplistic, give in, surrender, give up, move-on-to-new-cheese approach.

Last year my boss gave me a bottle of sherry for Christmas. I didn't like it much but I'd rather...

Almost like being in the Galapagos

Fri, 9 Feb 2001 23:44:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - Apparently I'm going to have to take scuba diving because sweetie wants to go diving in the Galapagos.

And now I do too, after sweetie and I took in the National Geographic-style flick Galapagos, just after Christmas at the IMAX in...

Fool proof screws

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 23:25:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I love tools, and this screwdriver is on my best-loved list.

I used it last week to replace the bindings on my cross-country skis, and then later, because it uses bits of all sizes (and by any maker), I used it to tear apart my CD player. I...

On its third owner, all lady driven

Thu, 18 Jan 2001 23:16:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - My daughter loved her cozy coupe, from the first moment she saw it beside the Christmas tree when she was just 10-months old. I remember when I bought the coupe at a Little Tikes factory outlet that $60 (Cnd) seemed an awful lot to pay for a baby's...

Not a 5 star among my colleagues, but I beg to differ

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 04:37:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - Marie Callender's has received a three-star rating from my fellow epinioneers but hell, yeah, I was impressed and I'm damned fussy.

I guess that's cause I'm Canadian and our taste buds are usually frozen and take one heckuva lot to...

Sucks out moisture, sucks up space

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 20:21:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - In fact, I'm probably a sucker because I bought one.

Well I didn't, the ex did in fact. He bought this Ronco Food Dehydrater while all pumped up on beer and football when it flashed before his crazed eyes during a commercial one football...

Today I cracked, my skin didn't

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 22:14:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - Okay, I'm tough, but I still want my skin to be soft.

It's -12 degrees out there, and we're not talking wussy American farenheit stuff, this is Canadian, celcius, and I'm finding my comforts in lovely products like my Oil of Olay Age Defying...

O Canada! Conquerers: The

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 02:35:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - This is the Great Assimilation Writeoff. Our host, Elvisdo has invited us to participate in this creative endeavour. The rules were simple:

For the Americans

You are the President of the United States (no recount is needed) and you have...

John popped his lid! Others crawled in!

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 21:02:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - No wonder Spike Jonze received a best new filmmaker for Being John Malkovich. This film was brilliant!

Okay so I am a bit behind the times, but I don't get out much and today I hardly got out at all. Bad case of sniffles, queezy tummy,...

mmmmm.... just get me outta here.... and this does

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 01:43:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author YYvonne - I'm a softie. I love a soft touch. And that's not easy often in my job as the editor of a daily newspaper. Christ I'm Lou Grant, and sometimes I just wanna be Mary Tyler Moore.

I keep my nails manicured, cause sweetheart taught me to spoil myself,...
