rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - I fully admit to being a dummy. I'm not ashamed of it. You're probably a dummy too...after all, why else would you read a review with this title. In fact, you and I are the best dummies there are because we're just smart enough to know when we're too...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - So, you like Reese's cups? And those little drops grandma makes at Christmas time? (We called them buckeyes.) Well, this recipe is much quicker than those little drops, does not involve parrafin wax, and tastes just like Reese's cups.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - ~*~ Why I read it!~*~

Death by Hotdogs!

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 01:20:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - Forged by Fire is one of three books based on the lives of the students at Hazelwood High School. I can't call it a trilogy because the books are not written in sequential order, but rather they run almost parallel to one another. The first book I read...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - I read this book, like I often do, at the behest of my teenage daughter. Kissing Doorknobs had her in tears one moment and giggling helplessly the next. I had to read it. Besides, I'm always on the look-out for a good book that I can recommend...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - Okay, so the Ericsson DH618 only cost me a penny. Does that mean it shouldn't work worth a flip? I know you only get what you pay for, and I suppose I did get my penny's worth, but I'm going to complain anyway.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author melllyn - I have to say that, like many women, I am never satisfied with the features God gave me. I tend to keep my eye makeup to a minimum, so I can spend extra time on all the flaws God blessed me with. What I want in an eye shadow is simple: subtle...
