Fri, 19 Aug 2005 12:46:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - I just purchased the Go Video VR3845, their new for 2005 DVD recorder and VHS unit. I'm a dubbing newbie, so if there were pitfalls in the learning curve, I'd fall in. But with their well written instructions, I was able to burn a DVD from one of my home...

Brother Disney Embroidery Cards Winnie the Pooh Series: It's a Honey of a Card

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 00:10:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - Sometimes I feel so good, I say I'm in a Tigger mood. It's funny how these characters become icons, representing attributes of ourselves. That is how you know something is truly classic. While the Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters represent my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - "Donna--the very best kind of friend". That's what the embroidery on the dish towel said. My buddy Toni's daughter Amanda had sent it to me. It was made, Toni said, by this sewing machine she had that would embroider for her. At the time that I learned...

So You Want to Fix Your Sewing Machine?

Fri, 16 May 2003 13:59:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - I can well understand that.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - There's only one thing that would get me prying open the back of my computer and installing a card, believe me. I mean, sure, I've done that for years, especially in my sysop days, but recently I'd resolved to never again break the pristine seal of my...

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 00:09:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - Waffles, anyone?

I’m a busy person, constantly on the go. Yet I have this “mom and wife” image to uphold as well. Tradition, you know? Somehow, during the years of my tenure as the glue that holds this family together, I adopted...

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 16:25:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - If you’re a console gamer, you should know about Gamestop.com. It’s a resource for obtaining information about games, and the games themselves. To me, they shine best in providing previously played games, but that’s not all they have.

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 02:07:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - I wanted a vacuum that was as trouble free as the VAX I left behind, something that would go and go and clean up everything that I threw at it. Because, believe me, when it comes to vacuum abuse, it seems I'm the deluxe dominatrix.

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 17:01:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adonna - Ah Kenmore. For years they have made reliable large appliances, and this workhorse is no different. Before I outgrew it, I'd swear by their diminutive all in one washer-dryer combo. After I outgrew it, swearing at it was more common.
