Fri, 8 May 2009 00:38:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I'm not a hardcore gamer. Okay, I play Sims2, but that's not about gaming...that's about the mommy in me wanting everyone to do what *I* say for once...without a choice. I honestly bought my PS3 because the DirecTV guy told me that it played...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I recently switched our cellular service from one company to another. I did so to take advantage of an employee discount and to add my son's fiance to the family plan. I correlated this action to happen on her birthday and presented her with...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - When searching for a "lift" for my monitor, I needed something not too tall, that wouldn't rob me of valuable desktop realestate. When I saw the Allsop Metal Art Jr, I knew I'd found just the right thing!This product raises your monitor (or...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I kept seeing the advertisements for the Buxton Over the Shoulder Organizer and I really wanted one. I expressed that desire at the end of every commercial. My husband kept saying "Well call and get yourself one!" but I never did. I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - It all started with my neighbor. I have two small Chihuahua's and I love to give them treats, but so many things are really made for larger dogs. My neighbor, who has very small dogs also, recommended I try Greenies.He gave me a...

Nice "Out of Box" experience

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - Typically, in the past I have always built my own computer from a barebones kit, adding the components I wanted, and/or could afford and then upgrading as necessary. But recently, when the time came to upgrade my motherboard, I realized that I was...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - When it comes to computers, I have always been a desktop user and I was always sure that a desktop was the "be all / end all" of my computing needs. And for the most part, I have been right.However, age, health and maturity have changed my...

Inspiring!

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 02:12:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - In the past, I did a fair amount of sewing, but life got in the way and I sort of put it aside. Additionally, I've never had a "good" machine...until now. I have pulled out may old machine on occasion to hem, or mend, and every time I do, I tell my...

Easy way to clean floors

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 16:54:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - This year, I told Santa I wanted a Swiffer WetJet to replace my old sponge mop. My hubby fussed and fussed, but Santa got it for me anyway. And I am SO glad he did! You see, previously, hubby has done all the mopping. Now I know, you ladies are...

Eh, Not so Hot...

Mon, 3 Dec 2007 13:21:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - By its very nature, dark chocolate is not as sweet and not as creamy as milk chocolate. I knew this going in and was prepared for the differences. I typically LOVE dark chocolate and was really looking forward to treating myself to these little...

Kicking it up a Notch

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 12:01:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - For years, I've claimed "I don't do much with my computer, why do I need a sound card?" What I didn't stop to consider was that I might do more if it sounded better! I recently upgraded to Windows Vista and the lowest denominator in my Vista...

The Perfect Headphones

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - Let me start by saying that I am NOT an audiophile and these headphones do not in any way create concert sound or provide noise cancelling or any of those things that really intense music listeners are looking for. However, these are the perfect...

Lifelike Pets now join my Sims

Thu, 7 Jun 2007 16:12:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - Like many Sims fans (Sims 1 and Sims 2), I can't help myself. I buy everything "Sims" that Maxis throws out the door. I have a compulsive need to have it all...and now my Sims do to. Sims 2:Pets is an expansion, or add-on pack for the base game, The...

Sims 2: This is my Life

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 11:41:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - First of all, let me say that it is very difficult for me to bypass anything that Maxis publishes. It is a sort of symbiotic relationship for me. They make Simulation games and I buy them. When Life Stories first came out, I actually was able to...

Can't Take the Heat

Thu, 1 Feb 2007 13:41:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I didn't choose this printer and probably wouldn't have after reading reviews and specs. I requested a simple and fast laser printer from IT...what were they thinking? But now I have it, and I've had it for about 6 months. Apparently, that's about a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - On the weekend before July 4 2006, my family and I headed off to Grantham, PA for a week long conference at Messiah College. Since we live a solid 10 hour drive away from Grantham, we chose to stay the night before the conference in a hotel nearby...

Sweet! ...maybe too sweet

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 09:54:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I got these little "bon bon" candy lip glosses as a gift at a party a few weeks ago. I don't typically wear colored lip gloss, but since I had them I thought I'd give them a try. What you get First of all, the packaging is very cute. There...

Maybe I'm Just Slow...

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 15:55:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - The other day, the Staples website advertised liquid lead pencil as a "new" item. I love pencils and I prefer to write with a pencil if given the choice so I had to try these. I was a little disappointed to find out that a) it's not new, and b) it's...

Quiet and cool...just the way I like it

Fri, 9 Jun 2006 16:23:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I suffer from that female disorder known quaintly as "Power Surges". Yep, hot flashes...besides being overweight and warm natured, I get occasional hot flashes. That means that I've been surrounding myself with fans. And this is my favorite...so much...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I have read most of the reviews on this bed, some before I bought it and some after. I have determined that there seems to be no middle ground on this bed...either you love it or you don't. Fortunately for me, I fall into the first category. A few...

Attractive addition to the kitchen

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:18:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - I've been married for 16+ years now and over the years, we've lost flatware, found flatware, gathered random pieces of odd flatware and basically ended up with a hodgepodge of way too much flatware. I decided I'd had enough. We had forks no one wanted...

Sexy Addition to the Game Console Genre

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 12:20:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bwestman - When I first saw the PSP, I thought it was a glorified GameBoy clone. I didn't understand why in the world we needed another hand held, lame graphic, overpriced gaming unit. I resisted even thinking about it. But my son didn't. My 14 year old,...
