Linens-n-Things: I would avoid this website.

Wed, 19 Feb 2003 15:54:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - I didn't enjoy my shopping at Linens 'n Things online. I found the experience frustrating and the website confusing.

Finding what you want:

First, I couldn't find what I wanted, which was a bedspread. The reason is that bedspreads...

It Won't Take a War to Destroy the Command Post

Fri, 14 Feb 2003 16:18:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - When my 9-year-old son saw this in a "wish book", he just had to have it. This play set definitely looks good to little boys. Even to a 37-year-old woman, it looks pretty cool. However, like my mama always said, "looks aren't everything."

My SpaceMaker is a Money Saver

Fri, 7 Feb 2003 17:21:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - I had a great coffee maker that stopped working after 10 years. When it came time to replace it, I decided to buy the Black & Decker Spacemaker. The main reason I wanted this coffee maker was that it was programmable and was affordable.

Hilton Galveston Island Resort: Hilton is a Hotel, not a Resort

Tue, 8 Oct 2002 13:26:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - Usually, the name Hilton is synonymous with luxury. This one seems to be over-rated as a "resort" hotel. I would just classify it as a hotel and leave out the word "resort". My idea of a resort hotel is a place where I can do everything without leaving...

We Get an Avalanche of Questions

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 13:11:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - When we decided to purchase the Chevrolet Avalanche, we had no idea how much the truck would interest our family and friends. We fielded an "avalanche" of questions from everyone about this vehicle.

THE DEAL:

Before Chevrolet...

Nextel Mobile Phone Service in Houston: Out Of Luck if Out Of Town!

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:41:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - When I got sick and tired of my husband's cell phone bill being $300 or more, I decided to take action. Quite a bit of his bill could be expensed for work, but many of the calls were to home and that was getting expensive. So, when shopping for a new...

Don't Expect Help From Junior

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 10:24:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - This was a toy my daughter of 6 wanted badly. She is at that wonderful age where helping Mommy clean is fun! So, for her birthday, we bought the Dirt Devil Junior for her. She was very excited, and could not wait to get started.

I suppose I...

The Mop Vac Leaves Me Wet

Fri, 14 Sep 2001 13:58:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - When Dirt Devil began ads for the Mop Vac, I thought that this was one "gadget" I just had to have! Mopping is such a chore, and time consuming since I must wait for the floor to dry. After obtaining a Mop Vac for myself, however, I wish I had saved my...

Cordless Convenience

Fri, 14 Sep 2001 13:47:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - I found that the Dust Devil is a very convenient item to have around. With two small children, there are always spills to be picked up. From cereal, to scraps of paper, to dry spills in the kitchen, this little devil is a hard worker! However, if the...

Dis-Enchanted is more like it

Fri, 14 Sep 2001 13:32:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - Our first cruise. We were so excited. We decided to take the two night cruise to see what we thought. Well, if and when we go again, it will not be on this Commodore ship. This ship looked more like a garbage scowl than a cruise line. First of all, the...

Contemporary: Costly but Cozy

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 11:19:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - The last time we took the kids to Disney, we stayed outside the resort. I decided that this time we would stay within Disney to make better use of our time. Since we are a family of 5, there are a limited number of resorts where we can get one room to...

You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

Fri, 13 Jul 2001 13:26:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - When I saw this crock pot at K-mart for only $32, I had to have it. Maybe I don’t get out enough, but I had no idea they even made oval crock pots until I saw this one. The standard crock pot isn’t good for cooking things such as whole chickens and...

Pretty good WhoDunIt

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 15:02:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - I've never read anything by this author before, but since it was a gift I decided to. The Passenger is a suspenseful, interesting story that is perfectly believable. Unfortunately, some of the characters are either not believable or not developed...

Good for a beginner

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 22:02:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - I remember as a kid, I wanted a camera. So, "santa" brought me a very cheap little Vivitar 110. Kind of a camera's version of a teething ring. It was great to start with, but naturally as I grew up I wanted something better.

Same thing...

Oritron DVD100 DVD Player: No matter how tempting the price is....

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 21:51:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dpgal - Don't do it! Really. OK, the price was a huge temptation. It was $118 at WalMart and I said, "what the heck". Yikes! The 90 day warranty is only 90 days for a reason. I'd swear there's a timer inside telling the thing when to quit. I have a...
