rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briget - The reason for this title will be explained in my last paragraph.

I am not, nor was I ever an owner of a Furby, but from what I understand, this toy can be just as cute OR as annoying as the Furby. I am comparing the two because they are both...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget - It's all because of the new and improved formula -- no kidding! I am a big fan of Maybelline foundation. In fact, I've been using it for as long as I can remember wearing make-up. When I first began using a liquid foundation, I was fairly young. So my...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briget - I have owned my van 5 1/2 years, and I can tell you honestly, I have YET to call a garage and tell them I need to have it looked at for anything. And I use it everyday. I'm not saying it never needed brakes, etc. Normal wear and tear has been taken on my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget -

One of my two favorite card sites on the internet is OhMyGoodness.com. (the other being Bowcreek.com -- TOTALLY unrelated card site!) If you think you'll be giving or receiving the "same old" cards from here, boy are you mistaken!...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget - When I was thrown a baby shower a couple of months before my son was born, I was given a lot of the usual "must haves": high chair, car seat, play pen, etc. I was also given an infant bathtub filled with (what *this* mother considered)...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget -

Zima has been my beverage of choice for many many summers now. It's so refreshing, ice cold beer can't match it! Sometime around the middle of May, my taste buds start going wild for Zima and I just can't seem to get enough. Zima is a...

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 01:46:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briget - M & T seems to have a reputation for high service charges, but I am a BASIC customer with basic needs, so I've learned how to keep my checking free, and avoid senseless charges.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget - When friends of ours suggested that we should stay at an RV resort at Myrtle Beach instead of a hotel, we weren't too sure we'd like something like that. Until I checked out Barefoot's Resort online, and found that I'd probably love EVERYthing about it,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briget - For 10 years, Chi Chi's was a restaurant that my husband and I rarely went to. Why? Because we didn't know what an enchilada was. Or a burrito. What we *did* know about and what we liked there were fajita's. And Chi Chi's had the best, so whenever we had...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author briget - And that is not always a good thing. . .
