rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - This review is about the Raspberry Zinfandel.

I'm not sure what I was thinking. I'm a red wine lover. But it's been hot, and wine at 70 degrees has seemed a bit heavy. So I guess what I was hoping for was something a little more "red" than...

More for your money....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I opened my first account at Patelco Credit Union when it was exclusively a credit union for Pacific Bell Employees and their families. I was twelve, interest rates on savings accounts were in the 9and 10% range and I learned to be quite impressed with...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - We put in hardwood floors this fall...and didn't think about the fact that we had a black dog. She's cute, we love her..but she's black...and her hair clashes magnificently with our light beech floors.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I'm "graphically handicapped". I was never much good at Paint and get very frustrated with Publisher, Print Artist is a mystery and the Adobe Photoshop versions that I've had baffle me to no end. I'm not even very good at using the table function in MS...

Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2 (253766) for PC: The price you pay may be your time

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 06:34:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I think maybe if I average the numbers, I can justify reviewing Quickbooks Pro 2000 without ever really using it. You see, I've used the '99 version since '99, and recently upgraded to 2001. I skipped the 2000 upgrade because there was so little...

Another Hit!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I finally traded in my Epson 640 for a newer model. No, it wasn't because it broke, or wore out...but because it simply became ridiculous not to upgrade the technology. So my 640 has become my daughter's printer, and it's been replaced by a brand new...

That shiney coat...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - Almost every time someone sees our seven month old Labrador pup they comment on how shiny her coat is. While she's spoiled rotten, she's not brushed regularly (she eats the brush) or washed with special shampoo, she's fed Nutro MAX puppy.

Energizer bunny...watch out...it just keeps printing

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 18:46:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - The 660 was actually the second Epson 600 series printer that I purchased. The first was a 640 that I purchased for home out of sheer frustration and desperation. We had purchased an HP Inkjet which fell somewhere in the 600 series with our first...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - It doesn't matter how good your surgeon is...they have to take very large margins around a melanoma, the scar is ugly and has railroad tracks. And the scars aren't usually in inconspicuous places either....normally on the top of the shoulder, or the...

A good outlet for your pyromaniac

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I've often considered purchasing a gas grill but my husband is a closet pyromaniac and he gets his kicks from dumping excessive amounts of lighter fluid on charcoal and torching it...I guess I shouldn't complain, it's a fairly safe outlet...and I do get...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - After about three nights of walking our very black puppy in our very dark yard (we have been having siding replaced and our yard lights were disconnected...thank you LP) in my robe, barefoot in the middle of the night, I decided to purchase a retractable...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - We were told that if we wanted our Lab puppy to learn anything she was going to have to be bribed. We resisted at first...thinking that love and praise would work....silly us. After about a week it became apparent that if we wanted this young lady to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - Until now, we had bought every lawn mower we'd ever owned at yard sales. When the last one finally gave up the ghost and we realized it was time.

We chose this lawn mower mostly because it was the one that Costco had that had the features we...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - I never would have bought this....and was very skeptical when it appeared under the Christmas Tree...A gift from my Mother in Law. I love to cook, but I'm kind of old fashioned about it. I prefer a french knife to a food processor and (when it's...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - When my husband bought me this wonderful set of T-fal for Christmas along with an Italian cookbook, I cooked up a storm and really appreciated the T-fal for it's even heat and easy clean up.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - Tin Cup has become a recent favorite in our house. I don't know if that's because it's a wonderful movie..or if we are just really into golf..it may be a little of both.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - When we purchased a home seven years ago with a grove of alder trees in the back, we really didn't have a concept of how fast they grew, or how tall they would become.

My husband hates ladders, and we let the trees get pretty out of control...

A Tale of Adventure and Security

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 05:01:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - The fact that I remember Captain Kangaroo reading this book on his morning TV show when I was a young child probably adds to it's charm for me. But it was the fact that my three year old son fell so in love with this book that he could recite it from...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - For years Marie Callender's was our favorite lunch place when we went out of town. The food was always fantastically presented, always fresh and always very good. I had always commented that even the garnish was fresh and beautiful. We looked forward...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - We have taken our children twice to the Magic Kingdom. Once when my son was only 11 months old, and once when he was 4. Both times we had a wonderful vacation despite the number of people, the heat and the lines.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - My other camera is a Nikon SLR that is about 20 years old and EVERYTHING is manual. It takes some terrific pictures....but kids and dog's don't stand still for you to check the light, and the f-stop and focus and zoom. By the time you finish all...

Nice for a Fax

Mon, 29 May 2000 20:14:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - We purchased this machine primarily as a FAX machine for the office, the HP inkjet fax that we formerly had was too slow and cumbersome for the volume that we did...and it was costing too much in ink cartridges.

It didn't take long before we...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lorrena - When we bought our house, I thought the off-white carpets looked good, but with two kids, I told my husband that I would give them 5 years MAX. Well seven years later...I was pretty much right. They're spotted and ugly, but we wouldn't have made it...
