Get Smart: Got Get Smart Right

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 17:39:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Remember the Cold War and the subsequent spy craze, driven by 007, of course, but by campier creations like Honey West and Maxwell Smart? Campy and silly, but Get Smart always made me laugh. Years later, I was surprised--and encouraged--that my...

Quality Photos, Portable Printing

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 15:40:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Most of my printers have been HP, and except for a $39.00 "bargain" that came bundled with a desktop, I've been happy with the brand. My biggest gripe was that none of my photos ever came out truly borderless or of professional print quality. I didn't,...

Life's Big (Little) Luxuries

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 21:02:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Who hasn’t had an eight hour work day that felt like it went on for a year and a half? You stagger into a shower dead tired, and, if you’re like me, the first product you reach for is an Oil of Olay Total Effects Age Defying Cleansing Cloth. Soft on...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author legar - In an ideal world, all of us would have perfect credit and receive unsecured cards with low interests. Unfortunately, many of us through our own weaknesses or through pure circumstance encounter difficult financial stretches in our life.

For those of you who may not know,...

Ride a Loose Rein

Sun, 17 Jun 2001 23:31:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Books that make any reference to horses snare my attention immediately, so when I saw promos for Saddled, by Delores Fossen, I was more than half-inclined to pluck the book up as soon as it became available. The eye-popping cover of one of...

Hard-Edged Love

Sat, 12 May 2001 19:23:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author legar - When I picked up Linda Howard's Kill and Tell, it was more or less on assignment from members of my writing group, who said Linda Howard was moving up there with Nora Roberts and others as a "duty read." They did warn that Howard's work...

A Journey to Faith

Sat, 5 May 2001 21:05:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - In the interest of honesty and fairness, I will begin this review with a disclaimer--Stephanie Parker Logue, the author of Heart Shadows, is my sister. That said, I feel qualified to review Heart Shadows, because this is a...

So Who's Ricky Martin?

Tue, 1 May 2001 21:54:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author legar - I wasn't going to come back. I swear I wasn't. But lo and behold, as I was glancing at a few new reviews and products, I came across Love's Lasting Song, and suddenly I was the Michael Jordan of Epinions. I had to come back and review...

Once A Month, Like Clockwork. . .

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 00:56:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author legar - No, no! This review is about Pizza Hut, not any less appetizing topic. But the title did seem appropriate, both because of all the helpful Epinion "How to Choose A Title" lessons, and because our family really does eat Pizza Hut once a month.

Sadness and Beauty --Well Told

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 00:22:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - There are several reasons I chose to talk about Anna Sewell's classic story, Black Beauty, in its unabridged version, and only one of those reasons is happy.

Although you haven't seen any reviews of mine on horses (where are my categories,...

Right Choices In the Rain Forest

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 02:27:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Ecology is an important, and perhaps surprisingly, often controversial issue. Surely no one doubts the wisdom of protecting our world, but many argue over how that should be done. Almost everyone does agree, however, that much of the damage to the...

How Should I Read Thee?

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 17:22:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Often, epinions that express positive and negative viewpoints are not evenly balanced. Either one is written much better than the other, or the information in one seems more useful--or maybe it's just a matter of already leaning toward one side or...

We Need That Sugar Now

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 23:46:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - As an elementary teacher and mother, the news of the newest school shootings certainly hits me as hard as anyone. Just days ago, a middle school student here was arrested for threatening classmates. What better time to offer my unashamed, sugar-coated...

Warmth In a Cold World

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 01:40:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - This is the worst year in recent history for respiratory ailments here in south Texas, and I suspect, in other areas. Sitting here thinking about the prescription drugs and the doctor's visits that haven't helped, I'm surrounded by the chest-clearing...

Jeannie Would Have Blinked. . .

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 23:45:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author legar - The third time was not the charm, so this 4th review tonight of "I Dream of Jeannie" will be my final attempt to comment on this classic sitcom. (For some reason, the body of this review has now disappeared 3 times--once as I was posting it!)

Who Am I Right Now?

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 23:29:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - As a reader, a mom, and a teacher, there are few authors I rank with Dr. Seuss for children's books--and Audrey Woods is one of them. Woods can handle both story and illustrations, but some of her most incredible works, including Quick as a Cricket,...

I Know His Name

Sat, 3 Mar 2001 01:32:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author legar - If you're not country, you may not want to rush out and buy Alan Jackson'Greatest Hits Collection. Unless, of course, you're female and attracted to tall, good-looking men in cowboy garb. But if there is any country in you, this is a must-have...

Why The Colonel Won't Make General

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 00:11:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Kentucky Fried Chicken--now affectionately known as "KFC" because we're all in such a hurry--is a venerable eating place that seems to have been around forever.

As a child, my memories of KFC are such good ones. My father had business...

Some Basics Are Best

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 02:24:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Noxzema Original Face Wash is one of those timeless classics that some come back to, and some of us never leave. The round blue bottle isn't the most fashionable face wash, and it certainly isn't the most expensive (thank goodness!) but it serves...

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 00:12:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - You could buy your child a tee-shirt with a mad-eyed, snarling rottweiler slobbering blood--that's the popular image of a truly delightful breed. Or, you could defeat stereotypes, provide your child a beautifully illustrated book, and fall in...

Louisiana Can't Be All Bad

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 01:28:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author legar - Neighboring states tend to find fault with each other, and I have occasionally made some negative generalization about Louisiana. But the state can't be all be bad, because, folks--they gave us Popeye's.

Fast food can be a...
