Scenery 10, Accommodations 4

Thu, 19 Jul 2001 09:14:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - We just returned from our second stay at the Lodge at Gulf Shores State Park. Although most of Gulf Shores is high-rise condos and hotels, the lodge is a two story building set off on a quiet beach. All the rooms have balconies overlooking the ocean. If...

There is a Simple Solution to pet stains

Sun, 29 Apr 2001 09:42:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - While I was waiting to get my puppy, I did a lot of shopping in pet stores. I was just like an expectant mother shopping for her baby's layette. My baby needed a brush and comb, dishes, puppy food, and LOTS of toys. Then I walked into the part of the dog...

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 10:12:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - The Land Between the Lakes (LBL) is a wonderful place for a family vacation. There are lots of things to do, and not too many people making things crowded. LBL is a national recreation area in Kentucky and Tennessee. There are 170,000 acres set aside for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - We just got a new computer desk, which we badly needed. Its so much better than the old table we were using! Anyway, this desk has a place for the CPU in a closed cabinet about 3 feet to the left of the keyboard. I needed to buy an extension cord for...

Worth the Extra Money

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 23:36:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - I have an unusual breed dog. He's a Bedlington Terrier. (There's a picture of one on my page.) Anyway, one of the great traits of these dogs is that they don't shed - at all! Of course, every positive has a negative - they need to have regular...

GE Built-In Dishwashers : Don't Buy It!

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 22:57:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - I would never, ever, ever (is that strong enough?) buy a General Electric product. Our new house came with 5 major appliances made by GE, and within the first year all had needed major service. By the end of the second year, they were all totally broken...

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 23:22:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - Do you like bad sci-fi movies? Did you watch Godzilla on Saturday afternoons as a child? If you answered yes to either of these questions you're in for a treat. Godzilla is back in theaters. Not some fancy redone version, but the original...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - Do you know the difference between a Rancor and an Ewok? Did you wait in line to see The Phantom Menace? If so, you have to get to the Field Museum to see its newest traveling exhibit - Star Wars: The Magic of Myth. This exhibit will be at the Museum...

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 21:56:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - Our family has been very impressed with Kentucky's state resort parks in the past. This summer, we wanted to spend a week at the Lake Barkley lodge, but when I called to make reservations in January, they were already booked for July. Instead, we...

Nature's Recipe Breed Specific Dog Food

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 12:30:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - This is the food that I feed my dog for several reasons. Number one is that he'll eat it. Of course, we tried several different foods when I first got him, and he'd eat anything. I settled on this food because its good for him.

I have a...

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 11:41:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - ...thank goodness for Sentinel!

I picked it because it gives my dog protection from Heartworm, fleas and intestinal parasites. Its the only product available that will protect your dog from all three types of pests. Its a small pill that is...

Better Than Rawhide

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 15:18:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - My dog (a bedlington terrier), has very soft silver colored fur. If I give him rawhide, it gets to be a sticky, slimy mess that gets stuck to his fur. I then have a yucky mess. There is also the danger that he could choke on a piece of rawhide. His...

The Sea Crest Hotel

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 14:16:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 -

We stayed at the Sea Crest Hotel 2 years ago, and it was OK. They have some great indoor pools. This came in handy because we hit an unseasonable bout of 60 weather in August. It was too cold to go in the ocean, so the only swimming that could be...

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 23:37:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. What a GREAT book! This is definitely not just a story book for children. I had to read the second 350 pages in pretty much one sitting. How many children's books can you not put down?

Hey - You Talkin' to Me?

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 23:00:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - I've read the other reviews of this movie, and I notice that a lot of reviewers didn't like it at all. I guess I like a different sort of movie, because I thought this movie was cute and funny. Granted, I liked the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show, which...

Adler Planetarium Sky Shows - Not Worth the Money

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 18:56:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 -

My kids and I visited the new and improved Adler planetarium today. It still is not a "whole day" museum, but it fits in nicely with a visit to the Shedd aquarium. They have done some extensive renovations on the museum and really updated...

No More Melted Ice Cream

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 17:57:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - About 4 months ago, we noticed that our ice cream was getting mushy. I pretended not to notice. When the ice cubes were just cold water, I knew we were in trouble. I called a repairman, and got the verdict. The condenser was bad, and it would cost...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - It's been raining non-stop here for the first two weeks of summer vacation. What should I do with my kids? Of course! See a movie. We've already seen Dinosaurs, so that left Titan AE as the only choice in the PG and G categories. Its actually not a...

Well, I still hate to vacuum...

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 11:06:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - Vacuuming is probably my least favorite chore. This may be because five minutes after I'm done, the kids have totally trashed the kitchen floor again. I had a Hoover canister vac that I received as a wedding present. It finally died after 13 years of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - This book draws you in from the first page. There is plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep you guessing all the way to the last page, and lots of romance to keep you interested with every page in between.

A Knight to Remember is not necessarily a book to remember, but its a nice little diversion if you've got a couple of hours to kill. This book follows Ms. Dodd's formula of man sees woman, man wants to posses woman, woman finally realizes that the...

A Well Written story

Mon, 29 May 2000 13:39:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - Since I've been laid up the past week, I've had time to read several historical fiction books. (OK, so I've read at least one a day...) This was the first one that had me in tears by the end. It truly is well written and well plotted out.

Fri, 5 May 2000 11:46:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author linda41971 - I have absolutely loved some of Kathleen Woodiwiss's books. I have read and reread Flame and the Flower, Wolf and the Dove and A Rose in Winter. The problem is that she has also written some real duds. This book falls into the dud category. It feels...
