rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - If THE SIXTEEN is supposed to be one of the world’s greatest choral ensembles, why is it that I can’t bear to listen to them??? The Tallis Scholars could beat them up and take their lunch money any day, and twice on Sundays. OK, that’s probably a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - It’s 2:30 PM and your stomach is still churning over that Big Mac you ate for lunch. Of course, you’re so used to post-McD’s syndrome, you hardly notice—besides, you take an antacid chaser after nearly every meal. At least it’s not as bad as you felt...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - I was Charlotte Simmons... well, sort of... I don't often read modern fiction, but I had heard a lot about this book and curiosity got the better of me when I saw it at the library, so I decided to give it a try. A few things struck me about it right...

Mon, 12 Jul 2004 19:13:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - I’ve been making my own baby food for my kids for over 3 years now. I don’t know whether that makes me a fanatic of all things natural, or whether it’s just that I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices for jarred baby food. As the years have...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - Am I the only one who’s ever walked the carseat aisle at any given store and been amazed that almost none of the carseats (especially boosters) have any padding at all??? If they were at least ergonomically designed instead of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - When I had finally made the decision to purchase a Miele, the choice for me was simple: I wanted the least expensive one. At $1200, that “least expensive” is a lot of money. I admit, it was a splurge. But is Miele worth this price tag? And...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - All week my nine month old has been waking up with the sun, which is just obscenely early this close to June. No matter what we tried, he refused to go back to sleep, forcing us to get up and feed him. Now, I've been a night person since I was...

Fri, 30 Apr 2004 19:34:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - Sometimes I wonder if I've somehow become deaf to the tone of microwave timers. That's why, annoying as it was, it was good that my last microwave's timer would continue beeping until I would turn it off. That's what this microwave does when...

Tue, 20 Apr 2004 17:33:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mothra3 - I must confess that unlike the enigmatic Marilyn, I prefer to wear a little more to bed than just Chanel #5. After all, I can't enjoy this rich fragrance very much if I'm asleep. (Besides, those are expensive pajamas!) I will freely admit...
