Super Challenge, Super Results

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 04:37:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I have begun to consider myself somewhat of a "Walk Away" veteran. I started out with a one and two mile combo DVD, swapped up to 3 mile express, then 3 mile for abs, and now, a crown jewel, the 4 mile challenge. The name suits it well. It's not an...

Disappointed yet again

Wed, 9 Jun 2004 12:03:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I really think they ought to get new script writers for these films! So many of the things that make J.K. Rowling's book truly GREAT are sooo lacking from the movie. The only reason I went to see it is because this book was my favorite one in the series...

Fans of the book will be disappointed!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - As far as movies go, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets wasn't bad. It had humor, excellent effects, and a score that is delightful. However, it's missing several things that people who have read and thoroughly enjoyed the book will notice.

It pays NOT to Discover!

Fri, 1 Nov 2002 14:28:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - We have had our Discover Card for about a year, and we have faithfully made our payments on time, never went over our limits, and even got our insurance through Discover Financial. Then recently, we hit a financial rough spot and decided to consolidate...

Delicious read

Fri, 25 May 2001 12:06:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I can't begin to count the number of times of re-read this book, or for that matter any of the other books in the series Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. However, whenever I begin to reread them, I start with this...

My favorite Road movie

Sun, 20 May 2001 23:02:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I blame my love for this movie on my mother...so thanks, Mom! This movie wasn't the first Road movie I saw. I think I saw "Road to Singapore" first, but it didn't matter. I have an odd affinity for the Middle East, so Road to Morocco captured not only my...

Wowsers!

Sun, 20 May 2001 18:12:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I wasn't sure really what to expect here. We don't have cable, so we don't see ads for movies very often, but I had read about this one and decided it was worth it. I actually talked my husband into going to see it by telling him it was drawn using Linux...

eGroups: The Service Formerly Known As Egroups

Wed, 2 May 2001 12:00:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - Well, I've been a member since before it was even Egroups, but who remembers what it was way back then? And for that matter, who cares?

What a ride!

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 12:32:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - it never ceases to amaze me how Mr. Clancy has such an awesome view not only of the military, but of all government branches! I think I learn more government from him than I did in my high school government class!

The book started with Mr...

Good for credit building

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 12:30:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - But personally, not for much else. We were doing just fine with them until we were all of three cents over limit. Now, I know it was over the limit, but three cents for pity sakes! You would think they'd give you a little leeway. We were never...

The Gimp: GIMP rules!

Tue, 10 Apr 2001 15:07:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - This is definitely no Windows Paint! GIMP is a highly flexible graphic program. While it can be somewhat difficult to learn, even after reading through the GIMP user manual, it's still an awesome program to work with! It works great for web page...

Beenz.com: Beenz for all!

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 14:46:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - I've been a "beenzer" for a long time, and actually going and collecting my beenz has become a daily project! As a stay-at-home mom, I depend on beenz and other various "paid-to-surf" programs to get spending money. It's true that it can take awhile for...

Jazz At Its Finest

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 11:50:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - My mother was the person who introduced me to jazz, and this was her gift to me awhile back. I haven't wanted to stop listening to it since! Ms. Fitzgerald had a honey rich voice, and it's plain to hear that she not only loved to sing, but she loved the...

Don't Even Bother

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 15:06:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - If you're looking for a card to start your credit history, avoid this one like the plague! It doesn't matter, good credit or bad, this is NOT a card you want to get!

The annual fee is one of the highest we've ever seen in a card, and that's a...

Fun For Kids

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 13:37:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - While today's kids may not have any idea who the Care Bears are, I was of the generation who fell in love with these cuddly little creatures! I've seen this movie many. many times, and I still enjoy it!

This is wonderful tale about caring and...

A Fantastical Journey

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 22:52:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - For all of us who ever loved fairy tales, this would seem to be the epitome of all of them! This brings together all of the most famous and favorite stories into one, and it adds a dash of our world as well!

The story is a romp through a...

Giving Credit Where It's Due

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 19:57:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - Alright, so this movie wasn't the best animated, and it's not likely to ever be as popular as any Disney movie in history, it is, at the very least, an introduction to a very well done classic movie. My four-year-old will on occasion even ask to watch...

Good reading

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 12:28:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - If you're one of those people who watch the movie rather than read the book, then you're missing out on a lot of the story!

John Grisham has wrote a tale here of a young lawyer who gets caught up in a company full of secrets and lies. I've...

Just Like Any Other

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 20:00:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author burgandyvelvet - As anyone who casually flips through the newsstand by the checkout counter knows, most every fashion magazine is basically the same. A few articles you like, some you skip entirely, and there's the quizzes of course!

However, these magazines...
