Fri, 17 Aug 2007 22:58:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - EBay is the proverbial 800 pound gorilla which can be a gentle giant or a nasty bully ... all depending upon your situation. Essentially eBay is a marketplace and can be both fun and profitable. It can be a drag when you face ignorant buyers,...

Sun, 17 Jul 2005 19:11:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - I enjoyed the first three Star Wars movies and still think the Empire Strikes Back is the class of the bunch. But last night, I saw Revenge of the Sith and quickly became both disappointed and bored. While Revenge of the Sith is a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - For anyone disappointed with The Matrix:Revolutions, the third installment of the Lord of the Rings has to be a sign of redemption of moviemakers. Too often, subsequent films in a series or trilogy often lack direction and key facts get dropped. For...

Veggie Tales are Cool

Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:07:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Basically, if you want a safe half-hour video for the kids where you really, really don't have to worry then stop looking. Veggie tales are innocuous but cleverly written to appeal to people of all ages. They are geared toward teaching children positive...

Warning: Watching this movie will make your ribs ache from laughter

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 22:56:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - I love a funny movie. Shrek is a whopper of a funny, innovative animated film that tells a traditional "rescue a princess" tale in a very nonconventional way. Well cast and filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, this movie will keep the whole family...

Circulon crevices are cracked

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 22:29:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Every now and then someone gives me a gift I love at first sight but soon dislike. Maybe it was the purple tie that goes with nothing I own. Or maybe it was an omelet pan that I use less and less. Well...you get the picture.

Circulon is named...

SmarterKids.com: A smarter choice for kids gifts

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 23:16:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Wandering the aisles of a national toy chain, I was amazed by the plethora of mindless toys with no apparent intellectual value. Even the few craft kits were low quality and often poorly packaged and designed. The games were mostly same old thing as well...

hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, your miserable attitude just might upset us

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 23:54:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - As fast food goes, well it goes. But McDonald's has been alienating me steadily for the last several years. The McDonalds I hate the most is in my home town of Pittsburgh. The one at the corner of Fourth and Liberty ... the front line crew is surly, rude...

Good thing he doesn't Poo-Chi on the carpet!

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 12:57:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Thankfully we didn't purchase this toy because at $30, it was a bit expensive for a metallic, dog-shaped Furby with less charm. Grandma bought it for my oldest girl for her recent birthday. My two little daughters however love this dumb little thing that...

Roomy frig with family functionality

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 22:24:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Our kitchen is weird. The refrigerator we inherited when we bought our home was a paltry 13 cubic foot dinosaur with Barney Rubble's leftovers hardpacked in ice in the freezer. So when we went shopping for a replacement, we had the very unsatisfying...

X-fest a Real Cut Above

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 00:34:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - With the exception of the first Superman and Batman movies, converting superhero comics to the big screen has always been an excercise in futility ... until now. With a script taken straight from the comics, X-Men inserts you into a world where human...

Motley Fool: Just call me Foolish

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 23:54:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - As an investor, I've always been turned off by the big money websites which always seem to pander to the top 2% in income. I don't ever want to own a BMW and the idea of living in a snobby enclave turns me green with disgust. I am perfectly happy with my...

The Diet You Never Thought Might Work

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 23:27:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - A few years ago, I was feeling rather gloomy and decidedly chubby...well chubbier than normal. I've been heavy since age 6 and probably have tried many different diets and most have yielded short term results and long term dissatisfaction. For some of...

Variable, variety, versatile and very vital

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 22:43:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Okay, enough with the alliteration...but you get the point. Dremel tools are things you either use a lot or not but when you use them, you are damn glad you have them. This kit comes with a nice assortment of attachments that you will use for everything...

Cheap is what you pay for

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 01:59:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Juno's main attraction is cost -- the free version is ad-ridden and the "premium" service is little better. If Juno were your date you'd describe it as a nice guy you wouldn't want to marry. I've been with Juno long enough to be looking for...

How did I live without you?

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 04:25:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Reciprocating saws are the paradox of the tool world. Most of use use them infrequently yet when we use them, we absolutely love them. Nothing cuts through wall studs or trims odd pieces of metal or pipe like the reciprocating saw.

Excellent service and low cost banking

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 01:58:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - If you are sick of banks and their excessive service charges, it's time to join a credit union. Credit unions are owned by the members in joint, not a robber baron's grandkids or some corporate empire. The Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union...

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 22:19:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author botcher - Ever look a gift horse in the mouth? Not with the Dell Dimension L433c you won't. We got our Dell as a surprise present from my parents to my kids who have been pestering me for a computer for a solid year. Santa certainly picked out a good computer that...
