Have you ever wondered where your paper money goes after you spend it?

Possibly you've never been that bored, but I remember as a child and teenager writing little messages on bills to see if...

I love my "Zoom Zoom" car

Wed, 9 May 2001 05:23:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - This was it... the expected repair bill on my old '78 Ford LTD exceeded the actual value of the car. And I was just sick of driving this gigantic old gas-guzzling unreliable land yacht. I'd held on to it for too long, (15 years) partly due to...

A great little saw

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 04:54:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Good quality cutting tools may be expensive, but they can greatly improve the health and looks of your plants and give you greater success in the garden. Clean cuts heal faster, allowing less chance of entry by insects or disease, and are less likely to...

Fiskars means quality

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 04:02:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Anyone out there who sews knows that Fiskars is the name in scissors. Well, they've applied that same quality to this wonderful pair of garden shears.

We sell these in the garden center I work at, and they are possibly the most...

Stylish smut.

A great little pruner

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 00:45:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - The Felco #6 was my first pair of Felcos I bought when I first started working in a garden center some 15 years ago, and I still use them to this day.

The Felco #6 is essentially a smaller version of the #2 pruner,

(Please check out my...

A timeless classic that deserves a second look

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 04:41:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Like many others, I read Jane Eyre in high school.

It immediately became my favorite book... I carried a copy with me at all times and reread it repeatedly.

I suppose what took me at the time, being a teenaged girl, was the romance...

The standard by which the other pruning shears are judged

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 03:50:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Ever wondered about those pruning shears with red handles that you always see on the belts of gardeners, landscapers, nurserymen, and arborists?

Whaddaya mean you've never been that bored?

Well, Felcos have been around a long time, and...

A great trip down X-Files memory lane!

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 03:42:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Fallen Angel and Eve

This is a great couple of episodes from the first season of the X-Files. Each story captures the feel of the first season and has all the required X-Files elements, including government conspiracy to keep the truth...

One of the best shows on TV

Thu, 18 May 2000 16:12:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Yes I said that Buffy is one of the best shows on TV! And it just keeps getting better.

Not many other shows can say that!

I am a Buffy fan, and I am over 30 years of age. I admit it. I realize that there may be some sort of a law...

If you love good music...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

The songs on this album evoke such a feeling of time and place, you can indeed hear the "car wheels on a gravel road" in the title song. Told from the point of view of a child in...

The master's masterpiece!

Wed, 10 May 2000 12:10:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - This film is Buster Keaton personified. This is the film he was most proud of, the one he put the most work into, his heart and soul even. Unfortunately, due to the poor reception at the time, and the expense it took to make it, this film also was a...

A gem by the master of silent comedy!

Wed, 10 May 2000 03:19:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Yes, Buster Keaton was the master. Chaplin was great, don't get me wrong, but Buster's gift for creativity, subtle humor, storytelling, and painting a visual feast for the eyes is almost beyond compare.

All this from a black and white silent...

solid and well made

Sat, 6 May 2000 02:40:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I've owned one of these trowels for several years, and I love it.

It it is made of of a heavy duty aluminum alloy that wont bend or rust, and feels comfortable and well balanced in your hand.

The inexpensive trowels are usually cheap...

Just try to keep your toes from tapping!

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 15:46:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums are one of my favorite bands ever!

This rollicking album of original and cover swing tunes will get you dancing, be you 9 or 90!

The band is tight, truly first class musicians, fueled on by Mr. Lucky's...

Fun for kids and adults

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 13:47:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I learned to play chess when I was about 8 or 9 years old and fell in love with the game. I am certainly not the best player in the world, but it certainly gets the old brain cells firing. Its great for kids, (and I believe they can be taught to play at...

Brand Name Food Products: Vernor's Ginger Ale: the best!

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 03:59:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - Vernor's, "The original Ginger Soda" is just about the best ginger ale I've tasted. Its not too sweet, and has just the right amount of "bite" to it. You can actually taste the ginger, it doesn't just taste like carbonated sugar...

Brand Name Food Products: Cinnamon Altoids: Mouth tingling experience!

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 03:08:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I never really liked Peppermint Altoids all that much, but I carried them around for bad breath emergencies. I do a lot of customer service where I work, and believe me that burger and onions I had for lunch does not go over well in a retail situation!...

Some of the best episodes of the X-Files ever

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 05:56:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - As much as I love The X-Files, when I see the old episodes like these I long for the style and flavor of the earlier seasons. But I realize time moves on, characters and shows develop, so its great to have these eps on tape.

I seriously think...

Dick Gaughan's best... Everyone should own this!

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 05:11:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I wore out my first (vinyl) copy of this album... the second copy isn't in good shape either... thank God for CD's!

I am not a professional music reviewer, nor am I a great writer, so all I can do here is talk about how this music affects me...

Return to real romance!

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 23:27:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - It's not hard edged, cynical, action packed, scary, or even very intellectually challenging, so if that's what you are looking for stay away! If you want a "feel good" experience that will have you leave the theater with a smile that may stay...

HRBlock.com worked for me

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 05:49:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I just finished using HRBlock.com to do my '99 taxes. I normally go to the local HR Block office, but had always found it quite pricey!

The HR Block online filing, at $9.95 seemed to be a good bargain, and since my tax situation isn't too...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: HP Desk Jet 712C: An Excellent Value

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 04:27:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - I love this little printer! The paper is easy to load, so are the ink cartridges, and is very easy to set up and operate. (And the price was right too)

My previous printer (an Epson 400) was such a pain in the a** (paper jams, used up ink too fast,...

Easy to use and reliable

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 04:55:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - This is our 2nd Panasonic VCR. Our first one lasted almost ten years. When it finally died, we bought another well known brand that was on sale and recommended to us, and hated it so much we returned it almost immediately.

Panasonics are so easy...

I use my Leatherman almost everyday

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 04:24:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author damfino - This is a solid and well made tool, and is possibly the most useful item I own!

Around the house I've used it to put together a desk and a set of bookshelves, and to do minor repairs.

At work (in a garden center), its great for...
