My hair finally does more than just "hang there"

Thu, 22 Aug 2002 16:07:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - All my life, I've struggled with hair that is fine and limp. It's straight and that's the way it likes to hang - preferably plastered to my head. Pantene Sheer Body Shampoo has made a noticible difference in my hair.

A Major Disappointment!

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 19:39:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I was sorely disappointed by this movie.

I love animation. I really like computer animation. I enjoy the Final Fantasy games. I should have been drooling during this movie. I should have been an easy mark - someone who would go see the movie,...

Not a Place for Seafood-Lovers.

Tue, 19 Jun 2001 16:06:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I love seafood. In fact, one of my great gustatory joys in life is going out for sushi. I would eat fish and shellfish everyday, if I could. You would think that Red Lobster would be one of my favorite restaurants, but you'd be very wrong. I've eaten at...

Gundam Wing - it's not worth your time

Wed, 2 May 2001 15:05:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - This review was originally posted in the Cartoon Network category because, at the time, there were no Gundam categories. This is a review of the series itself and not necessarily the quality of the VHS. I've opted to place the opinion here until there...

Love, Justice - and Boyfriends?

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 18:38:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I enjoy Sailor Moon. It's definitely not my favorite animated series, but it's good, clean fun. The Sailor Moon R Movie is a continuation of the same characters and plots you meet in the first Sailor Moon TV series. Chronologically, it was released at...

What's Blue and Self-Heated and comes in a tube?

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 16:04:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I have oily skin on my face. It's the kind of skin that makeup runs off of in an hour, the kind of skin that makes you feel like you need to wash your face every couple of hours. I've tried a lot of facial cleansers, some worked and others didn't. The...

Here Thar Be Monsters!

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 17:09:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I really can't think of enough nice words to say about Hikari Brand fish foods; the Tropical Algae Wafers are no exception. I currently have two plecostomuses (plecostomi?), each in a different tank. While they do munch on the algae and plants in their...

Works for me and my Cat

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 20:39:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - It may seem very odd, but I bought a bottle of Burt's Bees Lemongrass Insect Lotion as much for my cat as I did for myself. My cat, Phoebe, is highly sensitive to most insect repellents and I'm unable to use most flea & tick products on her. Since...

Beautiful and Bittersweet

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 15:38:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - Please Save My Earth wasn't exactly what I expected. I bought the DVD (all six episodes) a few months ago on an impulse. I hadn't read too much about the series and I wasn't expecting what it turned out to be. From the pictures and the short...

My fish love it!

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 02:34:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - Hakri Cichlid Staple is all I feed to my cichlids. I have two African cichlids and an Oscar and they all seem to enjoy the food. Well, I can't say they enjoy it, but they certainly eat it quickly. The few times that they don't eat all the pellets, the...

Who's on show here?

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 13:01:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - "Best in Show" is not a movie that the masses will enjoy. However, if you've ever been to a dog show… if you've ever met someone who went to dog shows… if you or someone you know has the tendency to take their dog ownership way too serious… if...

CCU - My Bank of Choice!

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 15:05:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I adore Community Credit Union. How many financial institutions are there that anyone would be willing to make such a bold statement about? Not many, I assure you.

I've been a member of CCU for longer than I can remember. My parents opened a...

Review Topic: Accommodations

It has been about 3 years since my husband and I stayed at Club Oasis Akumal. We went for our honeymoon in the middle of August. Personally, we loved it. It was the perfect place for us to relax...

Mixed Emotions - Too Much Gore

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 16:14:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - The main reason I saw The Cell was that, having mixed up our movie times, it was the only thing at the theatre other than The Exorcist that we hadn't missed the final showing of. To be honest, I hadn't seen or heard much about the movie...

Anime meets the Wild, Wild West

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 22:14:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I had heard of Trigun, but never thought of picking it up until my husband decided to give it a try. I hadn't read too much about it and from the DVD cover it definitely didn't look like my kind of anime (since I like the cutesy stuff). However, seeing...

Playing House for Sadists

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 00:33:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - The Sims is like playing doll house for adults. Sounds simple and boring when I put it that way, doesn't it? Don't be fooled though; The Sims is one of the most engaging and addictive games I've ever played. I've always been a fan of Maxis' simulation...

In Boca on Business?

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 15:35:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - Recently, I had to fly to Boca Raton to handle a customer "emergency." With only a day to plan for travel and hotel, I was afraid I would end up having a horrible experience. (I'm much more comfortable with the concept of "book...

AOL Instant Messenger: AOL did something right!

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 11:57:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I wanted a copy of AIM because my copy of YIM (Yahoo! Instant Messenger) was flaking out. Since I need a messenger that can work through a firewall/proxy, my choices are pretty limited. A computer-savvy friend suggested AOL Instant Messenger to me and...

Neil Sperry Helps My Yard Survive Texas!

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 14:53:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - When you live in Texas, you come to grips pretty quickly with the fact that, in the summer, everything green dies. Okay, well, maybe not everything, but pretty darn close to it. So, why does anyone in this state try having green living things? And...

Sedated? Not by this collection!

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 20:38:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - Sedated in the Eighties, No. 2 is an odd assortment of hit-and-miss

new wave/borderline pop songs from the 1980s. For the most part, the bands are ones that any fan of '80s music is bound to recognize: Echo and the Bunnymen, Billy Idol,...

Not for Asthmatic Cats!

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:48:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - Ok, I'm not 100% certain that my cat has asthma, but I do know that certain things cause her to have difficulty breathing. The vet has never found anything conclusive, but I try to stay on the safe side when it comes to respiratory issues.

"Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff"

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 09:45:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I actually own two of these giant Pooh-bears. Both were given to me as birthday gifts from people who know about my not-so-secret obsession with the A. A. Milne stories. The bears were given to me a year apart and there are definite differences between...

Something doesn't add up with Capital One

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 14:13:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - My first credit card was with Capital One. They had sent an application to me shortly after I graduated from high school. With my parents' co-signatures and my solemn vow (to my parents) to pay off the bill every month, I was sent my very own piece of...

Talking Playtime Pals: Mr. Salt & Mrs. Pepper: "I'm Mr. Salt!" "-And I'm Mrs. Pepper!"

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 12:14:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I have never seen an episode of Blue's Clues. We don't even have cable at home, so I couldn't watch it if I wanted to. However, when my husband and I spotted this item on the toy aisle a couple months ago. I couldn't resist making it "talk" by...

Take the Good with the Bad and you've got my Aria card...

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 00:20:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author box543 - I've had my Aria Platinum Visa since November 1998 or so. I originally applied for it because my Visa through my credit union was being transferred over to FirstUSA and I had a bad experience with them. (The exact reasons for switching would best be...
