Radio Shack License-free 2-Way Personal Radio: Hello? Hello? Are you there?

Fri, 5 May 2000 22:57:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - Two way personal radios have been steadily increasing in popularity over the last few years. And with good reason. They make a lot of sense for active lifestyles today.

I purchased our units for our trip to Disney World (yes, every review I...

Tall is in!

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 00:26:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I actually won this can opener from an on-line contest, so the price was definitely right! I needed a new can opener since my old, under the cabinet model had fallen apart, so with my $20 prize winnings, I chose the Black and Decker Extra Tall Can...

Chef Mickey's! The name says it all!

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 22:12:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - Tucked away right below the monorail in the Contemporary Hotel is a restaurant known as Chef Mickey's. It's a character meal, which means there are Disney characters present, and it's an all you can eat buffet.

It was probably also the best...

Mickey's House is a Mess!

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 11:07:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - My three year old daughter still tells friends and family that when they ask about her trip to Disney World and did she get to see Mickey. Everything about Toon Town at Disney World is very cute, but especially Mickey and Minnie's houses.

Easy clean up, but easy fall apart too!

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 09:33:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I received this high chair as a gift from my dear sister in law when I had my third child. I already had a high chair from my previous two children who were quite a bit older, but since this was a gift from a special person and since I thought this...

What's not to love?

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 15:07:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - My husband and I were lucky enough to get to stay free at the Bellagio (even the name sounds poetic doesn't it?) last spring when he won a free trip to Las Vegas for the two of us to attend his companies award ceremony.

I had heard the...

giantrewards: Giant Rewards? Where?

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 13:02:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - Can I honestly say I hate this site? I realize it is only in beta testing right now, and they were nice enough to give me $5 to start with, but other than that, I can't think of anything good to say about it.

The idea behind this reward...

Archived Electronics Reviews: An idea that needs a little more work

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 00:58:40 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I received a 9" TV/VCR combo last year for Christmas as a gift to keep our children occupied while on long car trips. I was thrilled with the gift, because I know how much my kids enjoy watching videos, and how little they like travelling!

Scrabble for Windows: If you like the board game, you'll love this!

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 10:28:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - Scrabble was always a popular game in my family. My mother is a whiz at it and no one could ever touch my grandfather, who could always manage to top every game we ever played.

My mom purchased her CD of the scrabble game a few years ago,...

America's Top 100 CD: It sure beats cable

Sun, 13 Feb 2000 12:41:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - After at least 18 months of bugging me to get rid of cable and get a dish, I finally agreed and let my husband purchase the Dish Network. Before we purchased it, I made sure I could get all the channels I wanted, including the major networks and HGTV,...

Isn't it just a little hypocritical?

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 11:44:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I'll admit I enjoyed the Tarzan movie, as usual with Disney movies. The music was great, the animation was great, the story line, well, that was another thing.

I just had a hard time with the fact that the "villain" in this movie...

I love this little phone

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 15:47:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - This is the third cell phone I have had, and definitely the best. It's small, compact, light, and fits great in my purse or in a jacket pocket.

The clarity is great on this phone. I live in a mountainous region, and sometimes the mountains...

If God isn't a Penn State Fan, then why is the sky blue and

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 15:22:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - If God isn't a Penn State fan, then why is the sky blue and white? That was the slogan on a bumper sticker I had on my dorm bulletin board while at good old PSU.

I'm sure my review is biased, because I loved my 4 years at Penn State. I got a...

Char Broil: Coleman Grill, Made by Charbroil

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 13:37:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - What first drew us to this grill was the name Coleman. Since we are avid campers, we know the name Coleman stands for quality. The next thing that caught our eye is the cast iron cooking surface. The grill surface is all cast iron -- which I love for...

Mindstorms: I'm amazed how cool this is

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 23:49:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I purchased the Mindstorms Droid Developer set for my 10 year old for Christmas. He's a big fan of Legos, although I personally feel they are overpriced, and there is nothing worse than stepping on a Lego in your bare feet!

The Mindstorms...

My son loves it --When he can get it away from me!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 17:39:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - This game is addictive! Just break it out at a family gathering or party and watch what happens.

Last year for Christmas, my son received the original Bop it. At first glance, I thought, this is the stupidest toy, who would ever pay money...

Non-stop action and suspense

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 21:14:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - Clive Cussler has done it again! This guy is tops in action thrillers, in my book.

In his latest novel, his hero Dirk Pitt is racing to save the world from . . . well, I won't give that away, you'll have to read it for yourself.

Don't Even Thing of Going without it!

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 18:58:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - This book is indispensable. We just got back (yesterday) from our first trip to Disney World, and I know this book saved us time and money, and helped us to get the most from our vacation. I knew ahead of time where to eat, and where not to eat, I knew...

Like adding an oven

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 11:51:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - This is a wonderful product for holidays and large families. You can roast a 23 lb turkey in this which will be the moistest turkey you've ever eaten. While you're roasting the turkey, you can have casseroles and pies cooking in the oven.

You gotta see this movie!

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 11:21:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - This movie was even better than the first one! Hanks and Allen were wonderful, as always, and the supporting cast is really top rate. There are some new characters that have been added to this sequel that really add a lot to the movie. Specifically,...

Not necessarily worth the upgrade price?

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - My husband, myself and our two sons, ages 6 and 9, became obsessed with the original Age of Empires when it came out. We played it all the time, and wished there were other civilizations to play. We anxiously awaited the sequel.

This is a great camera!! Worth every penny!

Sat, 1 Jan 2000 11:58:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - We bought this PV-L-759 in May from an on-line merchant and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. I saved over $100 by buying it on-line, in fact, you should be able to buy it for between $500 and $600 which makes it extremely affordable.

E*TRADE: On-line brokerages are the way to go

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 20:15:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shirleybonsell - I opened a brokerage account with e-trade in May, and I have certainly not regretted it. I have used a full-service brokerage in the past, but paying $150 for a single trade is not my idea of a good way to make money.
