Disc One: It's Where We've Begun

Thu, 6 Dec 2001 13:48:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - If you don't "get" the title of the CD or this review, then you haven't listened to "Box Set" from Gordon enough times. And, as a note to Epinions, the title of the CD is Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits [1991-2001]. "Their" instead of...

So, Are You Calling Me A Liar?

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 13:41:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Day One (mid-June, 2001)

Learning that our soon-to-be new neighborhood is in a DSL area made us ecstatic. Doesn't take much to make us happy these days. We've been online since 1992, starting out with the old Prodigy Classic before it even...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - When my husband and I decided to get hitched 8 years ago (has it been that long?), the decision to get married in Vegas was an easy one. Our families were spread across the country, and so were our friends. We didn't have a bunch of money to spend on...

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 13:41:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - I once saw a cross stitch pattern which said something about how a stitcher treasures her pattern collection. And here I thought I was the only one! Unfortunately, the time I have for stitching is limited. Forget the housework or the yard... I'd...

My Cat Won't Paint Anything

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 19:53:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - If you share your home with a cat, then you know that he or she will only do whatever he or she wants to do. If you want him to play with the great toy you just spent 5 bucks on, he won't. If you want her to sit on that cute window seat you just broke...

What's Funnier Than A Chihuahua In A Tutu?

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 21:18:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - What's funnier than a Chihuahua in a tutu? Well, how about a mutt wearing curlers and sitting under a beauty parlor hair dryer? If you're not rolling on the floor in hysterics yet, then how about a Basset on a bookcase?

Ok, maybe you don't...

Ebates.com: Moe Wants To Help You Make Money

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 16:28:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - The $84 I've earned through Ebates is equivalent to the $65 I've earned at Epinions. Neither is going to make me rich, but if I'm going to be online I might as well earn a bit of money toward paying my ISP. I've been a member of nearly all the...

Credit Unions. Not Just For Teachers Anymore.

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 12:33:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Show of hands, please. How many of you thought that you had to belong to a specialized group of people before you could join a credit union? If I weren't typing, I'd raise my hand. Until recently, I thought that only teachers or state employees, for...

The Story Of A Guy Who Talks To Dead People

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 16:51:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Let me first say that I am a borderline skeptic when it comes to psychics. I have a wild but intelligent imagination, and I am able to devise ways to explain how and when John Edward could come up with some of the things he says in his various readings,...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - While making a trek through the Midwest about two years ago, I decided to get off the Interstate and make a detour to a little town called Santa Claus, Indiana. As a diehard postcard collector I try to visit the unique places depicted on the...

Just For Experienced Stitchers

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 19:21:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - When I can manage to tear myself away from Epinions and the Internet for more than a few minutes, I like to cross stitch. It's relaxing, and I love to give gifts of the items I make. In fact, this Christmas I'm giving away lots of cross stitched...

Catalog With Ads

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 18:23:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Another new magazine means another new subscription for me. As stated in my Jane review, I love magazines; but, unlike Jane, Mode is geared toward me. I fit this magazine's target audience. I knew that...

Adopt Puppies Today!

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 01:33:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Long before Sesame Street and numerous videos and books, William Wegman was photographing his beloved Weimaraners. Why? Because he could. My personal experience with Weimaraners is that they will do anything for you. My Hans...

Heart Two Sizes Too Small? No, Movie's Two Hours Too Long

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 02:07:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Once upon a time in a land not so far,

Christmas specials aired once a year; there were no VCR's.

In order to watch Charlie Brown, Rudolph and The Grinch

You had to wait to catch them on the old 13-inch.

Now our kids are...

Dramas + Documentaries + Films = TRIO

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 15:21:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Note: Sadly, Trio has changed its format. While it still offers the "big 3" mentioned in the title of this review, many of the shows I came to enjoy are no longer aired. "North of 60" is the one I miss the most. I believe that "Traders" is one...

Games Interactive: Save Your Money For A Magazine Subscription And A Pen

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 14:47:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Being a puzzle addict has its ups and downs. (Or should I say its Acrosses and Downs?). Each day I pop over to Boxerjam.com, formerly puzzlepage.com, and complete each of the nine daily puzzles. There is a crossword, along with old favorites such as a...

Slide Open the Door to Dementia

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 18:51:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - In Sliding Doors, Gwyneth Paltrow's character was blissfully unaware of her alter-ego living an alternate life. To be fair to Passion of Mind, this isn't a Sliding Doors rip-off. If it had been, it might have been a better...

You Want Music? You'll Get Music.

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:28:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - No offense to Isuzu, but the factory radio in our Rodeo was the pits. So we went shopping for a new stereo about three days after we bought the Rodeo last year. Plus, we had a 12-CD changer, also made by JVC, which we wanted to hook up to the radio...

Reality May Bite, But That's Reality

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 13:45:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Since I am probably the last person on Earth who hadn't seen this movie until yesterday, this review will most likely be read by only a few. That's ok. Maybe there are a couple of people stopping by here who haven't seen it yet.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - For months and months, the Dallas ABC-TV affiliate has hyped the :CueCat like it was the Second Coming. We were all going to be magically whisked to information-laden Websites which would offer us more facts and tips and help than anything has...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - A small cardboard box arrived in my mailbox today, containing the Barenaked Ladies' "Pinch Me" CD single I pre-ordered in early October. I can't think of a better way to spend a Monday afternoon... savoring a new song by your favorite band...

She Made Me Feel I Was Fourteen Again

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 17:47:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - Ok, maybe not 14. More like 17. And that's a pretty good feeling for a 37-year-old!

In no way, shape, or form do I fit in with Jane's target readership... too old, too fat, too boring. But, you know what? I like this magazine!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shmoopie13 - When I die, and I can guarantee you it will be from poor diet, I want all my family and friends to have a big fish & chips fry instead of a memorial service. This "picky eater" from early childhood will eat all the really tasty foods,...
