The perfect oven for one

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 17:30:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - My conventional oven is jealous of my little toaster oven. I bet if it had arms it would reach over an pull the plug. Why? Because I use my little toaster oven all the time while my big oven sits cold, empty, and very lonely. Once in a while I throw in a...

365 gallons of liquid luxury that can save your marriage!

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 21:28:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Affectionately called the "dog dish," this spa is one of Hot Springs' best-sellers. It's nickname comes from it's appearance - it's rounded and white. I've owned my 1996 model for almost four years now and couldn't be happier with it.

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 17:28:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Question: What's the major obstacle between Colorado and Wisconsin?

Answer: Nebraska

Warning: This is not intended to be a review of the great state of Nebraska, but rather a somewhat humorous travel diary. I've moved it to what is...

Motel 6: Impressed in Iowa

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 18:10:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I'd just spent eight hours driving solo through Nebraska and my night's destination was within sight. Welcome to Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Relieved to have Nebraska behind me, I decided to check out a local motel that advertised cheap rates. The place was...

I'll take mine Chili Hot with a Nose Punch!

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 23:06:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I don't usually review music, but when I saw this album was not represented on epinions, I had to do something about it. Any fan of the movie Get Shorty knows how great the soundtrack is. I'm here to tell the rest of you.

Light and Yummy!

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 22:52:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I'm a microbrew drinker and tend to drink local products. When in California, I mainly drank Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Now that I'm back in Colorado, my choices are abundant. I have to carefully judge my mood before ordering/buying a beer. Do I want the...

Stunning Rudeness

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 20:39:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - TravelerMiles is great as long as everything goes perfectly. We signed up because the card would link directly to our Quicken and the travel offer was great. We were earning $100 coupons right and left. We had no problems for quite a while.

I'd rather be in Colorado

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 18:57:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I just had to offer another view of Sacramento. Like any city, it has good and bad points, but I wouldn't put Sacto high on my list of TRAVEL destinations.

First, it's main good point is it's proximity to cool places like San...

Not for the feint of heart

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 20:57:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I purchased this bottle because a.) it had a high rating b.) it was on sale. I don't taste wine for a living, so this is a lay-person review. This wine is 52% Shiraz/48% Cabernet and billed as spicy, dry and full-flavored. The alcohol content is 14%.

Model MC-V7395 gets 4 stars!

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 19:18:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I've owned my Panasonic for over a year now with no problems. It replaced a cheap upright I got for about $70 at WalMart years before. Being bargain-conscious, I did NOT want to spend more than $200 for a vacuum cleaner (why are they so expensive,...

Royal RS50, flawed but works

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 18:26:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - My RS50 paper shredder has given me years of good service for the money I spent (about $25 at SAMS). That means I am willing to go in with a sharp tool occasionally and clear out the jams where the shredded strips have been caught. Instead of falling out...

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:03:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Buy for half, sell for half. That's the motto of Half.com, the discount website for books, cd's, movies, dvd's, and computer games.

(Note: This review is essentially the same as my Half.com review under "Best...

Archived Web Services Reviews: Contentville.com - Oh, the horror!

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 15:21:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - First, a confession. The only reason I went to Contentville.com was to check out their exclusive "Survivor" eBook. For $2.75 you could download the first three chapters and I thought that sounded cheap and easy. Well, I never got to read the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Millions of readers have found comfort in James Van Praagh's first two books, Reaching to Heaven and Talking to Heaven. Healing Grief carries on the tradition of inspiration and comfort by putting the familiar material in a more...

United we stand, United we FALL

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 19:17:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Is United ever going to get their act together? I fly United over 95% of the time because I live near Denver. I can say from personal experience that their service this year has been completely unacceptable. Yet, because they are so dominant, they...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Cable Internet access - I sing your praises!

I remember how happy I was they day I got the call - AT&T@Home was now available in my area. I made my installation appointment for two days later.

I live a few miles outside of city...

E*TRADE: Not just for trading!

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 22:55:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - So, you don't want to pay $15-$19 to place a trade? Me either, but I still have an E*Trade account. Why? Because they gave me a bunch of free miles with United for opening a new account. I use another site for stock trading, but if I'm going to have a...

Sooooo much easier than waiting for a check!

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 22:30:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I signed up for PayPal to make buying and selling on eBay easier, and boy am I glad I did. It is so easy now to send payment, but the real benefits come when you are the seller. No more waiting days for a check or money order to arrive in the mail,...

Truly original, truly funny

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 22:01:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - This movie had me hooked in the first five minutes. It opens with some amazing puppetry (marionettes) then quickly begins a journey through totally unpredictable comedic elements. Don't let the title deter you. You don't have to know who John Malkovich...

Ohmygoodness.com: Send a big SMOOCH!!

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 20:29:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Just look at the logo they used here and you'll see the kind of fun graphics you can expect from this site. Actually they use only hand-drawn cartoons that are often hilarious and off-beat. My favorite is the animated "kiss", available in male...

My first cruise

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 22:54:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - This was my first cruise so I didn't have any expectations. I have to say, it took me a few days to adjust to cruise experience. Our cruise started June 25 and I went with my siter, her husband, and thier two boys (ages 2 and 4). We knew to get there...

Cool & Convenient!

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 22:28:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - The Canon S10 is so small, convenient and fun to use it has quickly replaced my Canon Elan II as my camera of choice for casual snapshots.

I researched many cameras online before choosing the Canon. I liked it's small size and the USB...

Club Photo Online Store: Not just another online photo album!

Wed, 24 May 2000 14:27:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Club Photo is definitely ahead of the curve with the variety of features it offers users. Yes, it's easy to create and view albums, which is the foundation of any photo sharing site. But Club Photo goes the extra mile. It's taking advantage of the shift...

Full-bodied & under $10

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 16:58:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - I came to love red wine when we moved to California where it was cheap and plentiful. I developed a taste for Cabernets with their rich flavors and never really gave Merlot much notice. In the last year or so, though, the cabs started to feel a bit...

Awesome album!!

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 20:02:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author photogal - Susan Tedeschi truly entertains on this album. Her blues style will appeal to a wide variety of people. Basically, anyone who appreciates good music will love this album, but especially if they're blues fans. I'd love to hear her live sometime. I do have...
