Lies my teacher really told me

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 16:37:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I bought this book after continuing on for my Master's Degree in Social Studies, figuring that I may want to start getting some different viewpoints and a different variety of historical references. This book does, indeed, have a long list...

LAST/ATS-W NYSTCE preparation guide 2nd Edition

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 09:21:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I bought this book to help prepare for both tests this last month. I have not yet taken the ATS-W, but I did take the LAST last weekend. I thought I'd write a review for at least the LAST portion of the book since most new teachers...

Nancy Drew: Nancy Drew true to tradition

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 08:55:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - This updated version of the childhood classic sleuthing series, Nancy Drew, is a refreshing family movie for the summer. My son, age 11, surprised me by asking to go see it this last week. I was surprised, but looked up a few reviews and...

Realistic view of real estate

Wed, 15 Mar 2006 21:01:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I bought this book last week in order to gain some insight into a possible new career move for me. I'm relocating to New York in a few months and I have considered becoming a real estate agent at a fairly prestigious local agency. This book is very...

Putt-Putt Enters the Race: Zooooom! Can you win? -- Putt-Putt Enters the Race!

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 09:57:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - This game is the second or third in a series of Putt-Putt software titles for children and my son begged for this one after seeing the demo of it on his Putt-Putt Travels Through Time software game.

It took a few weeks to find it since we live...

HP Pavilion 6633C: Hewlett Packard Pavilion -- simply the best?

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 09:25:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - After running on a computer with only 250 Mhz for over a year, I was more than ready to upgrade to something bigger and faster. I'm one of those people who are impatient about loading time and get frustrated if I have to wait more than a few seconds for...

Heavy Duty Car Wash -- sparkling clean!

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 09:40:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - When I bought my new car last week, I decided I should also purchase a few new car cleaning products as well. Maybe it is a woman-thing, but I ended up buying about $100 worth of these items the same day I bought the car.

I used to use cheap...

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder....NOT!

Tue, 4 Jul 2000 11:16:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - Ok, I didn't even finish watching this movie, so I haven't a clue as to why I decided to write an epinion about this movie. I probably shouldn't say that, but I did watch over half of it, and I just couldn't take it anymore so I shut it off. I thought...

King of the Hill -- redneck heaven

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 08:54:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I've watched this program about a dozen times over the last year or so and am still surprised at the sensitivity and good writing it has. With so many animated shows on FOX (Simpsons, Futurama, etc.) I fully expected this one to be similar in set-up,...

Water T-Ball --- the toy for the young player

Sat, 1 Jul 2000 08:58:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - Commercials. Don't ya just love em? My son saw this Water T-Ball set on TV and had begged me to buy it for him for weeks. Of course, I was reluctant, since my four and a half year old doesn't like sprinklers and this guaranteed he'd get soaked while...

Mercury Sable 2000 - first impressions

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 09:16:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I finally did it. I broke down and went out and bought a new car this week after getting sick and tired of my Pontiac 2000 SE breaking down all the time. (for a review of that car, see my profile page)

The car I bought? Yes, a brand,...

AT&T 9301 Cordless Phone: Little Phone, little quality

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 10:04:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I bought this phone almost a year ago for about $20.00 on clearance at a local department store. I was shocked when I got online this morning to see Epinions had it listed as selling for around $60-$70. I still regret paying the twenty for it, so I...

Just throw 'em on the fire, Harold!

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 19:33:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - A four slice toaster in our family is an absolute must-have. We eat breakfast together most of the time and if the department stores around here sold six slice toasters we would have gotten one of those, instead.

But we sure won't buy a...

Ohmygoodness.com: Oh My Goodness! What a card!

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 08:49:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I first found this page by getting an ecard from a friend from this website. And fell in love with it as soon as I started browsing their selection!

I am the type of person who prefers sending humorous cards rather than sappy ones, anyway, so...

PayPal -- does it pay to use it?

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 08:34:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I was first introduced to PayPal through Ebay. I was high bidder on an auction and the seller sent me the link for his account at PayPal in case I wanted to use a credit card. I am one of those types of people, however, who are extremely leery of any...

Crayola Color Wonder -- How wonderful are they?

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 21:12:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - These markers sound like a dream, don't they? Mess free, they will not color on anything other than the special "waxy" paper that Crayola sells specifically for them. Wow! A mother's dream come true! No more marker streaks on the kids'...

The House on Haunted Hill -- Truly horrifying!

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 09:06:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - Last night my husband and I rented this movie and while I didn't see the original, I'm sure they took political license with the overall plot since it was quite modern and fresh in its approach.

The special effects weren't quite as good as,...

Child Magazine for parents

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 15:49:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - As a freelancer, I subscribe to three thousand magazines...ok, maybe not three thousand, but it seems that way sometimes...including several parenting magazines as well as children's magazines, women's magazines, and a few computer ones. Most of them...

University of Maine at Farmington and its academic programs

Sun, 28 May 2000 21:24:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - The University of Maine at Farmington has many wonderful points about its academics and many great things about it in general. For instance, it is a smaller campus and easy to find your way around and to your classes. However, smaller isn't necessarily...

I'm charmed with Charmed!

Sat, 27 May 2000 10:27:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - This show, although listed here in Epinions as a "Kids' Show" is actually more for adults, I've found. I'm almost thirty (shhhhh, don't tell anyone) and I enjoy it immensely! It doesn't deal with teen subject matter at all. And, in some...

eBay: Ebay and Me

Sat, 27 May 2000 10:06:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I've been a member of Ebay for quite some time now and I sell items as well as buy. For ease of review on this subject, I've decided to list things in a Pro/Con format so that you can easily check down the list before you sign up to start your trading...

I Thee Like!

Sat, 27 May 2000 09:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - Amanda Quick has always written books with very unique and individual types of heroines who go through just about anything to get what they want. This book, I Thee Wed, is no different, and it also contains a very unique, lovable hero, as well!

Flying Delta...it sure isn't the friendly skies

Fri, 26 May 2000 10:18:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - Recently, my husband and I went to Las Vegas (for another review about our hotel stay, check out my profile page) and flew with Delta Airlines from Portland, Maine to Cincinnati Airport, then on to Vegas. I've flown many times before, on several types...

A kid's dream or a parent's nightmare?

Thu, 25 May 2000 13:43:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - My husband and I went to Las Vegas for the first time last month. Being our first trip, of course we hadn't a clue as to what we were in for. Nor did we have any idea about which casino/hotel we should stay at, so we basically left it up to our travel...

Pokemon: Gotta Catch 'em all!

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 10:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author heidilr - I was very wary of this show in the beginning, thinking that it was along the lines of the next "Mighty Morphins" type of show. The anime style and strange "pokemon" creatures raised my eyebrow quite high.

I have a four...
