Sportmart Online Store: Sportmart.com: Fan-tastic Selection, But Can They Beat the Dog?

Sun, 5 Jan 2003 14:05:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I shop FogDog.com, the online sports mecca, every Christmas for my husband. He’s a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan and I’ve found the fan shop at FogDog to be a much easier and more reliable place to shop than either the Philadelphia Eagles own...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - Overstock.com is a very dangerous place for me to visit.

I went over there a few minutes ago, just to do a little research for this review, and nearly walked away with a Bissell Little Green Cleaner for "just" $39.99. I’m telling you, I...

Tue, 24 Dec 2002 11:36:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - There’s nothing sexier than a man in the kitchen. I guess there was a time in my life when I defined sexy in terms that included washboard abs or piercing blue eyes, but in my space of life right now, a manly man roasting a roast, cooking up a pot of...

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 01:00:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I got a little daring this past weekend. Dunno what got into me. The holidays are here. I’m under the gun to produce presents and produce them now. I’m still not finished shopping. And somehow or another it seemed a good idea to place three...

Walmart.com: Walmart.com: Look Around Before You Leap

Sat, 14 Dec 2002 12:41:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - A little research before shopping is a good thing. A lot of research before shopping can be a bad thing during the holiday season, most notably if everybody else is snatching the hot toys off the online shelves while Mother Epinionator is still...

Sun, 8 Dec 2002 12:09:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I really have to give this ColdwaterCreek.com affair I’m having a rest. The relationship is just not working out for me. I find myself frustrated and irritable, barely able to sleep some nights. I ask myself over and over, is this really a...

Thu, 5 Dec 2002 19:27:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I don’t know what I was thinking.

Mon, 9 Sep 2002 08:14:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - Don’t you hate it when you get all built up for a book and it leaves you flat? It’s the same feeling as mediocre sex, better than none at all but, geeze, did I have to shave my legs for this?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - Dad was walking through Toys ‘R Us the other week and saw a pair of Spiderman Electronic Sound Effect Gloves blister packed for just $9.99. Like many other impulse purchases Don makes for the boys, they seemed a reasonable gamble. Just $10, they had...

Loreal Studio Line Lasting Curls Gel: This Curlyhead's Best Friend

Sat, 7 Sep 2002 20:03:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I’m not a vain woman for many reasons, the greatest of which is: vanity takes too much time and money. I’d rather enjoy an ice cream sundae than worry about my figure. I’d rather drop $100 at Amazon on a bunch of books than $100 at gloss.com on...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I just wanted a Tap Light, As Seen on TV. Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Andrea, we've heard the As Seen on TV song from you before. You’re thinking I should know better and that I need to stay away from As Seen on TV products and...

Sun, 25 Aug 2002 20:59:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - I’m going to take my toothpaste-over-the-internet buying hat off for a minute and put my Marketing Diva hat on. Oooh! A new hat for the weekends. Ever so stylish, but, yes, I will be changing back into my comfies in a few moments. While I’m wearing...

Sun, 18 Aug 2002 14:24:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - The AT&T 2-Line Speakerphone # 952 is a decent enough phone, all things considered. On the Phone Satisfaction Scale, it falls somewhere between the communication device of your dreams and the $9.99 blister pack specials at Walmart. If you’re in the...

Sun, 11 Aug 2002 08:50:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - The nerves you feel when buying a new computer are similar to those that rack you when purchasing a new car or a new home.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - Ross-Simons carries a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff. An overwhelming amount of pretty cool, well priced, stuff. Ross-Simons carries so much stuff, it is hard to get your bearings and make your selections, at least on your first...

Fandango Online Movie Tickets: I Did the Fandango for Harry

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 15:46:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck -

Fandango.com offers one of the most helpful online services that I probably won’t use much, if ever, again. The concept is terrific, the service is wonderful, but I’m not an ideal dance partner, except on very special occasions.

Thu, 4 Jul 2002 11:04:26 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pluckyduck - Well, here's a bright spot in an otherwise gray book season for me! A lot of my heretofore favorite, dependable authors have been running out of writing gas, turning out lackluster books that end up crushing me with disappointment. Grisham. Tyler...
