Crass...base...but I kept laughing and laughing....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - I thought I had more class. I thought I would go to this movie with my 17 year old son and we could talk about the shortcomings of this sort of humor....but how could I do that when I laughed through the ENTIRE movie?

Ostensibly a story of a...

Love the special effects...

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 16:17:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - The transportation system in Tom's future world caught my eye more than the story-line! Who wouldn't love kicking back and leaving the driving to some master-system....with door-to-door delivery. And the computer operation system was pretty...

Credit for Provoking Me?

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 18:21:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Perhaps Saramago got the Pulitzer prize for provoking the peewaddin out of the judges. Yes, this story made me think...sometimes about the society he constructed, but more often about how irritating was his experimental writing style.

A man...

Coffee NOW!!!!!!

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 19:33:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - One would hope after 45 years on this earth I would learn a bit of patience...and in some things I have. I almost never barge into the men's restroom because the line at the ladies is too long...I rarely order steak rare/rare just so it will be...

Taxes...Easy as Pie!

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 17:42:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - ...C'mon - be honest, when was the last time preparing your taxes was "easy as pie"? Not since you were eighteen years old and using the 1040-EZ form, I bet! This program may not be quite so simple, but for me, it was much easier than trying to...

We Bought Two!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 11:49:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Both of my siblings are vacuum snobs, having been "sold" three thousand dollar Kirby's - my brother even bought another one when his first three thousand dollar Kirby stopped working well. So, we know who didn't get the brains in this family - right?...

Sweet and Satisfying

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 23:11:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - King writes in such a folksy, everyday language that I often forget his reputation as the "King of Horror". I like his writing style so much, that I read even his nastiest novels ("Pet Sematary" comes to mind). But this...

World Series....:)

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 22:50:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Leave it up to King to be brazen enough to market these pocket books for a price that rivals the wage commanded by Shortstop Alex Rodriguez - asking fans to pay that price takes brass cojones! But like Rodriguez, if your worth it - fans will pay. This...

Microsoft Word: Old Word is Good Word

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 20:36:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - So you finally took the old Underwood to the undertaker, eh? About time! (We’ve been into the twenty-FIRST century for a while, now, you know…) If Word 2000 is your first venture into the world of word processing (which, by the way, is NOT the same as...

Color Me Cheap!

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 16:15:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Not a computer weenie? Then this one should work for you. The Lexmark 3200 is easy to set up, easy to use and easy to maintain. I purchased our Lexmark 3200 from the discount outlet store Costco for approximately $90.00 (after a $40.00 manufacturer's...

Microsoft FrontPage 2000: Not for Techno-Snobs...

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 18:00:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Front Page is good for individuals, sole-proprietors, and small contractors who need a basic web page. Front Page is probably not the best software for large businesses that have the resources available to hire a professional web developer. And, if you...

I'm Dyin' Here...

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 17:49:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - ....being a weed and all. Man it was horrible...terrible. We was all hanging out down by the garden, see? Minding our business, you know...well, ok, ok. Manny da Buttercup and Tansy Ragwort was harassing the locals a bit - banging on the broccoli,...

Oxy Pimple Poxy..

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 16:51:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - ...yeah, well it rhymes.

Oxy pads are more expensive than regular hand soap, but oh so much more effective. I think when a teen can see the dirt removed right there on the pad, they are motivated to use the pads every day and not just after...

Clearly Quick Relief

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 15:55:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Ever find yourself drowsy after taking cold medicine...especially in the morning?...especially on the way to work? (darn, I loved that car...sigh) My husband and I both commute over 50 miles a day to work, and we sure aren't immune to colds, or to...

Just Call Me Bubba

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 15:01:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Breathe Right strips are a cheaper, much less invasive method of saving my marriage than either drugs or surgery. Counseling was an option, but man who wants to waste that $90.00 hour on "snoring" issues!?! I sleep better ... as does everyone...

Bachman Books: Four Early Novels: Who'd He Think He Was Fooling, Anyway?

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 10:14:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robndea - Stephen King has a style that he just can't hide, but that is exactly what he attempted to do in the Bachman books. Surrounded by phenomenal success (with more to come!) King felt it necessary to try the waters again and submit a series of stories under...
