I usually avoid using chapsticks because I dont like the waxy feel, but I had gotten to a point where I had to do something! Having previously used Neutrogena lipstick and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412559314564 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 03:06:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412559314564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339300814468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - I got a First National Bank of Omaha credit card, special edition when I was in college. I never used it, I had no problems. The minute I moved across the country and started using the thing, problems began and I found myself calling FNBO once a month... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339300814468 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 01:38:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339300814468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339281809028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - What's in the box: An extruder, which sort of looks like a big stapler with a handle on top and big hole in the back; two small cans of play-Doh; three half creature molds, two shape-making strips. Why its great: First and most obviously, that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339281809028 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 01:00:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339281809028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339261230724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - From head to toe Baby Tad is covered in buttons that make him do everything from kissy sounds to playing classical-sounding music, to singing, to teaching shapes and colors. On the up side, there is potential for learning. I've caught my son a few... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339261230724 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 00:09:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339261230724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339209588356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - My daughter received this as a gift and her and my son were immediately interested in it. Whats in the box: The whole set consists of a smooth rounded base with post sticking out from the middle that contains four twinkling lights, visible from both... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339209588356 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:18:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339209588356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339187175044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - My first though when I think of a bundt cake are the numerous, lovely little tea parties I had with my gram-gram when I was a little girl. When I was asked to bring dessert for my in-laws Christmas party I had visions of perfectly decorated cakes falling... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339187175044 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 20:18:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339187175044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339168169604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - I purchased this car bed at a second-hand baby store for my then 2 year old. He was super excited to get it, and I thought for sure this would get him out of my bed and into his own room. Not a chance, he liked to look at it, but wouldn't so much as sit... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339168169604 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:47:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339168169604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339164892804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - When my son started to open the fridge we didn't mind, when he started sneaking entire packages of cheese, it was time to do something. We came across the Safety 1st Appliance latch and just by looking at it in the package we could not figure out how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339164892804 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:22:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339164892804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339073732228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - When my son first acted like he was ready to use a potty, around the time he was two, we took a trip to the store and let him pick out a 'big boy potty' he chose this one, and loved to sit on it (I think he liked the reaction he got) Sometime between two... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339073732228 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:46:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339073732228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_339025301124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - My son received this toy as a gift and was excited to get it out of the package right away. We got home and installed the software necessary to sync it to the computer and get Elmo 'personalized.' The first, and by far most difficult step was trying to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339025301124 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:38:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339025301124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338846912132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - I got a Verizon plan when I moved to the valley 5 years ago and have kept the same one ever since. I've generally never had a problem with dropped calls except in one very inconvenient place - my entire apartment in Chatsworth. Whenever I would get a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338846912132 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:46:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338846912132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338836950660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - I generally love Will Ferrell movies, so I was super excited to see this one when it came out on video. It was a little disappointing that this movie relied so much on what one might call 'bathroom humor.' Although it had its funny moments, like when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338836950660 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:13:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338836950660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338829282948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - A friend got this for me for my birthday (I know, sweet huh!) and the problems began pretty much as soon as I hooked it up. If the battery gets low the phone starts making this weird crackly/ squealing/ breaking up noise which is not only a little... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338829282948 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 03:51:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338829282948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338828496516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - After having a c-section I had some weight to loose, but couldn't really get all crazy. Not wanting to take my newborn out on the busy streets for walks, I purchased this treadmill and got moving...slowly When I started out I could barely move, so I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338828496516 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 03:51:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338828496516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338827382404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - First, the color is a little bland, but nice enough, and matches the car seat we had from an older model. As with any double stroller, its not as easy to maneuver as a single stroller but having the two seats in a row it is much easier to get through... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338827382404 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 03:14:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338827382404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338807787140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melissabear - I picked up this book because I liked the title, and was immediately drawn into Lancasters creative writing style. All at once her character is wonderfully vain and self absorbed but still totally relatable. She really makes you want to become one of her... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338807787140 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 02:51:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338807787140?linkin_id=8003929
