AllSewing.com: frustrating, unproductive,not a good initial impression

Fri, 6 Feb 2004 15:53:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I saw the machine I wanted with a free shipping deal, but wanted to verify one thing before processing the on-line order. I tried several times to phone the store, and only ever rec'd an answering machine. Well, once someone picked up but then hung up...

Sell it all, move and buy new before using Atlas!

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 21:46:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - We were going to get a U-Haul, hire moving men in GA to load the truck, and hire some more in VA when we got to our new place. But no! We decided to "splurge" and hire movers because it was supposed to be about $1000 more, but with 2 small kids, we...

Ross-Simons Online Store: Great place to shop unless you need any assistance, have any problems or questions.

Sat, 13 Dec 2003 20:30:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I have found very good products at nice prices at Ross-Simons on-line. They are great . . . unless you have a problem. The customer service reps seem to have little or no training and even less knowledge of their operating systems. I have called...

Like movie popcorn . . only at home & healthier

Thu, 20 Mar 2003 14:43:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I've tried hot air poppers, the stove top method, and microwave popcorn - all had good points but felt short of being really good, at home popcorn. I was skeptical then when I saw an offer for the WestBend Stir Crazy model, but for $22.49 I figured why...

The commercial was right! Whaddya know!

Sun, 2 Mar 2003 17:14:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - You know the one I'm talking about - where the woman says as a first time mom, she bought all the expensive stuff, wouldn't let anyone hold the baby, etc. Then when the next one came along, it was "live and learn and then get Luvs." Sooo true!

What?! This is the last one currently in print?!

Thu, 13 Feb 2003 23:23:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - After finishing the 3rd Harry Potter book, I had to go ahead and start this one. Meanwhile, hubby and son are still finishing up #3, I read this one in less than 4 days.

I would not have needed to read the first 3 books in order to get an...

Could be the best one yet!

Thu, 13 Feb 2003 23:09:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I really enjoyed the first two Harry Potter books, probably as much or more than my almost 6 year old son. He's a Harry fan, but I think I may very well want a Harry Potter birthday party after reading this book. ha ha

We began it just like...

Don't let the kids have all the fun

Thu, 13 Feb 2003 22:50:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I confess - I thought Harry Potter was just for kids! I bought all the "Harry Potter" books when they came out because . . . well, my son loves to read. I thought he might enjoy them. They sat on the shelves for a good long time (he was not to the age...

Playmobil - there's still nothing as good

Sun, 13 Oct 2002 10:14:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I think my pros and cons are a little misleading at first. For instance, all Playmobil toys have some very small pieces which we adults probably find irritating - but then we should remember that this helps young kids to use fine motor skills when they...

We'll keep this one till the tires fall off

Tue, 30 Jul 2002 16:28:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - A year and a half ago, my husband and I leased a 2001 Ford Expedition XLT. The primary reason was for the seating capacity; however, because we needed the cargo space, the third seat spent most of the 18 month period stored in a spare room. When we...

Leap Frog does it again in Math

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 21:23:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - We are a family of Leap Frog fanatics! In fact, we have yet to find a product we don't like. I did notice, however, that although my son was doing very well in learning to read and spell, we weren't spending a lot of time on math skills. Then I found...

Budding artists will love this mulit-purpose desk

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 21:56:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - My son needed an art desk and we first tried one that was nearly twice the price and luckily we saw this before the other one was out of the box. It is a great price for a nice little desk with lots of storage spaces. Part of the top lifts up and there...

My son was learning to spell within hours . . .

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 21:44:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - . . . no kidding! My son is very stubborn about learning new things. So stubborn, in fact, that he's caused me to question whether I could home-school him or not. He's 4 1/2 now and has always been a very smart little boy. This toy makes learning...

Canon BJC S600 Inkjet Printer: This is a GREAT printer for the money!

Mon, 10 Dec 2001 13:49:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - We were in need of a printer and it just so happened the day we went into the store, the rep was on hand to "convince" us why we needed this one.

First of all, they just had a price drop from $199 to $149. Ok, that peaked our interest and...

Hilton Walt Disney World: Possibly a Hilton Head secret

Sun, 1 Jul 2001 14:01:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - As new members of Disney's Vacation Club, one of our choices is the Hilton Head Island resort. Although we've been to Hilton Head before, we never thought about staying at the Disney resort until this year when we could stay as part of our club...

eBay: The world's modern shopping mall

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 21:21:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I've been buying/ selling on Ebay for about 4 years now. I must admit, in the beginning I liked it a lot better. The fees were lower, you could relist items that didn't sell once for free, and the competition wasn't so high. Still, it has been a good...

How cute is this?! We loved it!

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 21:01:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I got this toy originally because it looked like a fun thing and would probably provide some entertainment. Little did I know how adorable it was going to actually be!

My daughter is 5 weeks old, and I put this together and set her...

We have had tremendous success with this phone

Sat, 26 May 2001 10:12:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - This phone was given to us as a gift; however, I know that the retail is around $100. For that price, it is comparable to other phones of this type.

We found it to be a great phone! Previously, our answering machine did not have the time/...

Having this freed up some time for us

Fri, 25 May 2001 22:29:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - My first child loved his swing so much - I could put him in and have some free time. The open top allowed me to get him in and out without bumping into a top piece.

It reclines, too, so when he was real small it was easier for him to swing...

This is one item I couldn't do without

Fri, 25 May 2001 22:05:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - With my first child, I had a nice bottle warmer. It featured a cooler area where I could store two bottles. This was great for nighttime feedings since I could put it beside the bed and everything was right there. This warmer does not have that luxury...

Very satisfied customer

Thu, 24 May 2001 21:25:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - First, let me say that my in-laws purchased their Troy-bilt used and it has lasted years and years. We've had ours just this season but expect a long level of service from it. Also, we ordered it directly from Troy-bilt for the same price as the local...

No twangs here, fun for everyone

Tue, 22 May 2001 23:22:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I really enjoy the Fisher Price toys anyway, but this one is particularly nice. Unlike many toys, it has a nice sound to it and not that "twang" that many of them have. The music is actually something that us parents don't mind hearing over and over...

I have a girl to go with this collection now.

Thu, 17 May 2001 23:02:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I noticed the Briarberry collection years ago, but when my son was born it was obvious that I would have to pass up that aisle in the toy store. Well, now I have a daughter and the collection has begun!

I love all the bears and the furniture...

Baby Bjorn Original: This was a "nice to have" item

Thu, 17 May 2001 20:53:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ampmom - I didn't have a carrier with my first child, but thought it would be one of those nice to have items the second time around. Since we didn't have all the new baby items to buy, I splurged and bought this.

It's very comfortable to wear. The...
