Rooms & Gambling Good; Dining & Drinking Bad

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 03:27:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - My husband and I enjoyed our stay and plan do it again. The Golden Nugget offers a taste of "Old School" Vegas, located Downtown, with a touch of gaudy glamour. You can't beat the value for your money! For dining and drinking, look elsewhere...

Filled with great recipe ideas and food facts!

Mon, 13 Sep 2004 00:07:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - As an author of a cookbook and webmaster of a site featuring old-fashioned, home style foods, trying new recipes is not just an adventure, but a job in my home. At first, Saveur seemed too fancy and elaborate to suit my usual cooking style, but I sure am...

Vibrations a Lifesaver - Toy Bar Stimulating - Poor Quality

Wed, 14 Jul 2004 13:26:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I purchased the Fisher Price Kick & Play from Toys 'R Us for $34.95 because it looked like one of the more mentally stimulating bouncer seats available. From the day we brought our daughter home from the hospital, it came in handy to get her to sleep...

Loud motor, leaky valve, oversized base. Stick with a regular blender!

Sat, 20 Dec 2003 22:39:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I received a Smoothie Elite as a Christmas gift and was mildly appreciative of the gesture, but needed a blender, so I didn't return it. After using it once, I figured out it would never replace a true blender in my kitchen. Now it's just a prop...

Good for cooking for 1 or 2. Small basket sits to the side.

Sat, 20 Dec 2003 22:12:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I purchased the Rival Cool Touch Deep Fryer because it was on sale for $25. I got what I paid for. The basket reduces the amount of food you can fry by half. The plug never stays in place. But, the timer makes it more convenient and the lid reduces...

Itinerary changed 2 times - From good, to bad, to worse

Wed, 8 Oct 2003 20:42:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - This was my second cruise, both through Carnival, and this experience only proved my first impression of Carnival to be true, "Carnival is the Wal-Mart of cruises." 8 Months ago in February, I booked my cruise through Carnival. I first searched online...

Spiegel.com: Placed 1 order, got charged for 3, when will I get $ back?

Mon, 25 Nov 2002 16:38:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I placed an order on 23 Nov 02 from the Spiegel.com web site. I received an "order acknowledgement" e-mail the same night, then the next day, I received an "order confirmation" e-mail. These are the only 2 e-mails I received from Spiegel.

Carnival is the Wal-Mart of Cruises!

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 02:27:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - In all, I was quite disappointed with my Carnival cruise on the Inspiration to the Western Caribbean. For the entire trip, I was uncomfortable. Most of the time spent on the ship was a bore. One of three destinations was a bomb. The costs aboard were...

It Pays to Learn Online Service: Steer Clear of IPTL! Out of $$$ to pay you!

Wed, 31 Jul 2002 00:19:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I was also referred to IPTL by an Epinions writer. Seemed too good to be true. It is! I signed up, played trivia, earned $1.41 the first month, and decided to earn more money through their referral service by posting their banner on hundreds of my...

Sat, 25 May 2002 02:39:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - Joe's is a great place to have fun, be entertained, and eat good seafood (and a few other things). I used to spend many hours a week at Joe's Crab Shack, working and eating, so let me share my expert advise with you, hopefully to make your (next)...

eBay: For Bidders A-, For Sellers C+

Fri, 3 May 2002 02:26:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - As a frequent bidder and seller on online auctions, eBay is my #1 choice. This is simply because of the high volume of visitors they receive, therefore, the more potential customers for my products and the more items I have to choose from when looking to...

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 01:21:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - My four friends and I decided to take a trip to Amsterdam for a three-day weekend. All open-minded, young, adventurous ladies, we wanted to see it all! We had high hopes (excuse the pun) in the beginning, and left somewhat fulfilled. If you don't read...

Panasonic SC-HT700 System: What more do you need?! Best sound quality, too!

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 20:05:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I bought this after I helped set my mom's up. Once I heard the sound, I fell in love. Plus, it's light gray colors blend into the room and are barely noticed.

This complete home entertainment system includes a 5 disk DVD/CD changer and 6...

Now I know what I was doing wrong!!!

Wed, 12 Sep 2001 19:08:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - This is an excellent guide and explains everything from selecting the right breed/age/sex of dog all the way to dealing with the death of your companion. No stone was left unturned. The pictures, illustrations, and highlighted text made it simple to find...

Most features and highest quality for your $

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 09:00:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I checked opinions here before shopping for a cordless phone/answering machine. This was the highest rated in my price range (actually below my price range). I am so happy I looked here first! This is a great phone! It has all the features I needed (plus...

Made me think. Made me cry. Made me doubt.

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 08:34:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - Rarely do you see a movie that suggests positive and caring human behavior such as "Pay It Forward". This is an excellent family movie (except the language) which has a heartwarming lesson to tell. Of course, to expect mankind to be this giving and...

Ours met an untimely demise! Will get another.

Sat, 4 Aug 2001 21:45:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I just got a new puppy and needed something to not only clean up those little accidents, but get rid of the smell deep down. The Bissell Little Green Machine accomplished this. It was a good price. I found I didn't even need to buy their detergent, as...

I sunk down in my seat, embarrassed for her!

Sat, 4 Aug 2001 05:43:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - My friend drug me to this movie - she already saw it once and loved it - I thought it looked stupid. I admit, she was right. I adored this movie. Most women can relate to the situations pertaining to moms, being single and lonely, being overweight, men,...

Recipes are too complicated and exotic.

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 06:20:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I love to cook and collect recipes. I even have a personal web site with thousands of recipes to share. But like anyone, I enjoy trying new things and there's always something to be learned. I received this book as a gift from a family member that knows...

Vet said it was one of the best - I see why.

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 05:55:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I chose Iams because I wanted the very best for my dog. In the past, I've heard the vet recommend Iams for our family dogs. When I moved out and got my own puppy, I attended a "Puppy Class" at our local veterinary clinic, wherein it was again suggested...

Yahoo Auctions: Before they began charging, I was an auction addict!

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 21:05:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - I can't remember how I got started on Yahoo! Auctions, but I know I quickly got hooked. I was selling everything in my house that I didn't use - and people bought it up!!! I couldn't believe the things people bid on.

Yahoo! made it easy and...

Rhine River cruise a must in Germany!

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 03:30:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - My husband and I didn't have much time in Germany, so we hoped we chose the right day trip. We sure did! A scenic cruise along the Rhine River showed us much of what Germany has to offer - castles, vineyards (and of course wine), luscious...

Used to be good; now, not so sure.

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 00:05:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - Olive Garden used to be the place to go for a nice night out. Lately, every visit has turned out to be rather annoying.

Our two latest meals were ruined by the lack of your delicious bread sticks. The first time, there were none until we were...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - Our first time staying at an Embassy Suites proved to be one of the worst experiences at a hotel my friends and I have ever encountered. The amenities and facility were wonderful, but the service we received left much to be desired. Let me start at the...

Wish I had waited for new models.

Tue, 24 Jul 2001 23:16:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robbiehaf - Got this as a gift - was recommended by computer-whiz friend. Rather pricey at the time of purchase. Now, there are so many better versions out there for the same price or less with much better options.

Why I like it:
