Wed, 7 Mar 2007 20:15:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - A very arty-creative friend of mine gave a huge recommendation for me to buy this book because I wanted to learn how to felt wool sweaters. I glanced quickly through the book in a craft store and bought it (at substantial discount, thank goodness)...

Ukulele is NOT a toy!

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 00:31:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - Jake is a master of this folksy instrument. He has been referred to by some as the Jimi Hendrix of ukulele.

Bounce bounce bounce

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - I have long wanted a mini-tramp and was not disappointed by the quality and sturdiness of Urban Rebounder. I felt that it was supportive, safe to use and never bothered to set up the stabilizing bar. I watched the instructional DVD to understand how to...

Cuts like a

Mon, 5 Apr 2004 09:21:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - knife, of course! I love my Henckels Four Star Knives. Wish I could have bought them as a set, but wasn't prepared to spend that much money in one shot. I believe they are worth the price, however. The contoured handle fits well in my hand and doesn't...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - At 70% cacao, Scharffen Berger Bittersweet has a truly intense chocolate flavor with less sweetness than many American style chocolates. If you are a fan of dark chocolate, you will LOVE the Scharffen Berger version. It has a great mouth feel and...

Happy Feet!

Sun, 14 Dec 2003 04:19:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - That's what you'll have if you wear Dansko clogs. They have styles for both women and men. Worn by professionals who are on their feet extensively (chefs, health care professionals, etc), these are some of the best shoes I have ever worn (and I have 30...

Smooth Ride and Excellent Handling!

Fri, 15 Nov 2002 15:30:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - I had a set of Dunlops on my 1991 Acura Integra for the past 4 years. The model I had was discontinued by the manufacturer (a couple of tire shops mentioned that it didn't wear well and that was my experience too). Since tires are a large purchase and so...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - I have had mobile service in the SF Bay Area for about 12 years now. My first plan was with Cellular One, who was consistently rated highest for service. They were bought by AT&T, which is my current service provider.

I miss Candlestick, though!

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 03:29:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - PacBell Park is a beautiful venue for baseball on the bay. The views of the bay are really wonderful and it's really fun and enjoyable to attend Giants games there. Sure, Candlestick was old and decrepit and VERY cold! But I recall with fondness the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - I am responsible for travel arrangements at work. If Alamo is available at the arrival airport, I will almost always book cars there. Reservations are simple. I like the rating of car size according to how many passengers and luggage it will hold. I...

Half.com: Twice the fun, half the hassle!

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 02:39:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - half.com is twice the fun because I can sell books, music, electronics, sporting goods and movies that I no longer want, and I can buy the same categories of items at good prices by rated sellers. I don't have the patience nor the discipline to sell or...

Staples Online Store: It's A Hate/Love Relationship with staples.com

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 02:22:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - On the one hand, the free delivery for orders over $50 is great. Their 'no questions asked' return policy is wonderful and so easy. There is a much larger selection of merchandise sold online than in their physical stores, if you know how to search the...

Advantage not an all-encompassing solution

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 12:06:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kirbydog - The great thing about Advantage is that it will kill fleas on your pet. What it will not do is kill fleas in your pet's environment. So if there is a flea-infestation in the carpet, his/her bedding, the yard or other environs that your pet...
