MyPoints.com: Free food, free clothes, free toys!

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 14:24:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - I joined MyPoints shortly after they started. I've joined other rewards programs like CyberGold, too. Most of the others folded quickly or were combined, and I could see why. Their rewards were hard to earn, their pages were confusing (often hard to...

Was I spirited or just a pain?

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 16:02:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - "Raising Your Spirited Child" recognizes that some kids just have more: energy, sensitivity, intensity, or perception. As the author notes, not all children have all characteristics and often these characteristics are generally lumped into the category...

Great Graduate Humanities Education!

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 15:30:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - I'm going to write primarily about my graduate school experience. If you are reading this because you are thinking about Penn for an undergraduate degree in the College of Arts and Sciences, I will add this caveat for you:

I got my Ph.D. from...

Great for a graduate student!

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 14:30:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - My husband and I bought a used 1993 Saturn SL2 in 1997. To date (4+ years), we have had about 1500 dollars in repairs. Not bad for a relatively inexpensive used car!

Before buying, we looked at lots of cars: Hondas, Toyotas, Fords, all in...

Best fiction book on potty training

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 16:58:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - A friend recommended this book to me and when I first read it, I had my doubts. It's pretty graphic (the boy bends over to show you the hole in his bottom where poo-poo comes out) and I just wasn't sure I wanted to be that specific.

But when...

Don't buy it for a boy!

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 14:39:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - We thought it looked good. It's colorful and low enough to the ground that our son's feet could touch the floor while he sits. When used that way, there is a pull-out cup that you empty, which looked a little hard to handle, but didn't seem bad. We were...

Way less annoying than diapering!

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 14:32:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - So the dialogue is childish, the songs are corny, and it's not a Steven Spielberg production. It's made for the not-so-jaded tastes of the 2-3 year old! My son likes the "potty video" a lot and it's beginning to help him get the picture that KIDS use...

Love this Elmo!

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 10:30:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - This is a perfect toddler movie, at least for those small children in your life who can't get enough of the furry red monster. My son, who is currently 22 months and loves Elmo, has asked for this video since the first day we got it. And it's not just...

Baby Bach: Baby Bach is engrossing!

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 04:16:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjpopiel - We have all 3 of the original Baby Bach videos and this, along with Baby Mozart, kept our son totally captivated from the time he was about 4 months (when we first purchased the video, upon the recommendation of a friend) until he was a year old and...
