rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - I went to the Bada Ling section of the Great Wall with a small tour group consisting of myself, 2 Nepalese, a Brit, and a Brazillian.

Not a flophouse but darn close

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 19:32:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - With old, garage sale quality bedding, a mattress that is about as firm as your 90 year old grandmother's backside, and stale donuts for your "complimentary breakfast", Econolodge in Childress, TX makes little effort to impress. Forget about room...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - I stayed at the Crowne Plaza for a few days while attending a wedding with a friend, and was somewhat disappointed in the quality of the rooms. I suppose they were going for the quaint, homey feel, but to me it seemed cramped and poorly designed. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - When my parents offered to get me a new washer and dryer for my birthday, my only two requests were that they be Maytags and that my kingsize comforter fit in them.

Who shot this thing???

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - When it comes to martial arts/action flicks, there are two kinds. The kind that takes itself waaaaaay too seriously (such as Steven Segal who never takes a hit and never breaks a sweat) and the kind that crack me up. Jackie Chan cracks me up, and...

Avo fixed Eva right up

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 15:11:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - I first purchased Avo Lamb and Rice out of desperation. I'd adopted an aged blue Doberman from the local shelter, and she suffered horribly from skin problems. Eva's skin would flake and her hair fell out in patches. It was just nasty and embarassing as...

If you thought your dog was gassy before...

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 14:20:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - Let's get one thing straight. I'm not a dog food snob. I don't sneer at people who buy Old Roy or the generic bag the grocery store sells that is simply called "Dog Food" because I realize people feed what they can afford to feed. If anyone has a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - I got my first taste of this slick world of silicone and politically incorrect articles back in college, whilst stuck in my buddy's dorm room as he and my boyfriend played Nintendo nonstop for 6 hours.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - When people who have never visited Texas think of it, often the first thing that comes to mind are wide open spaces, drawling cowboys, and tumbleweeds.

eBay: No wonder I'm broke!

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 16:41:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - Ebay is like a siren song for me, calling my name sweetly and whispering of hidden treasures and that perfect print to go over the mantel and custom painted model horses, and sending nasty little shivers down my spine. Once there, I mindlessly begin...

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 17:49:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - My roommate picked up this coffeemaker because she's a coffee junkie.

Steams everything, from rice to envelopes!

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 02:03:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - After learning the hard way that if I dare to eat anything more exciting than a piece of toast, I wind up gobbling rolaids, I sadly resigned myself to the southern baptist diet.

This won awards???

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:22:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - I think I laughed more at the idea that Election won awards, than I did during the entire film.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jade_stone - While organizing a photoshoot, my partner and I decided flowers would help liven the background sets up, make them look more natural. Who to call? Why, what about that commercial, you know the one! Just a phone call, and in no time you have fresh,...
