Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:09:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I am a total cleaning products junkie. Whenever a new product appears on the grocery store shelves, I'm at the ready to try it out. Part of my obsession is in finding products that save me time, but I also love to find products that really, truly work...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I had watched only a handful of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes when I bought the SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom game. After spending many hours playing the game, I became hooked—and became a huge fan of the show. It was...

Is ANYONE Feeling All That Good???

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 13:50:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - Your neighborhood bar and grill. I'm going to have to say "phooey" to that. Being married to the former owner of a REAL neighborhood bar & grill, I can say with certainty that Applebee's is way off the mark in this category. I first ate at an...

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 02:25:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - Fire Mountain Grill You may notice that this is my first "real" restaurant review (Krystal doesn't count). I feel pretty well qualified to write epinions on some restaurants based on a couple different factors. My husband has worked in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - One day, about 2 years ago, I was driving to work after taking my son to daycare. I was happy and content with my means of transportation, having driven my Volvo 850 for over a year. While at a stoplight, I glanced over at the attractive SUV next to...

My New Sunday Best Friend

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - After breaking both the carafe and filter basket on my coffee maker a few weeks ago, I decided it was time for a change. Clumsy and ceramic tile floors do not mix well. Generally, I only make coffee at home on Sundays, and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - You can imagine our surprise when, upon returning from our honeymoon, my husband and I found this giant TV sitting in the pile of wedding gifts. It was given to us by my husband's brother and uncle. At first, my technology-fearing hubby was reluctant...

The Only Restaurant with a Drunk-Meter at the Drive-Thru

Thu, 31 May 2001 00:33:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - Back when I was a kid, we had a Krystal about a mile from home. It was rather displaced, being in the middle of a nice neighborhood where a McDonald's had just gone out of business. Intrigued by all things fattening, my dad popped my brother and I into...

My Drug of Choice

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 19:34:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I am not one to be in pain very often. When I do experience pain, it is not a pretty sight and I will do anything to rid myself of it. I was introduced to the wonders of Motrin on a fluke.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - Until recently, my "ski resort" experience was limited to yearly church group trips to Sugar or Beech Mtn. in North Carolina. My skiing ability is somewhere between Novice and Intermediate, mostly due to the fact that I do not get a rush out of going...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I grew up in a home with a Jenn-Air range. Our range never gave us any problems, and seemed rather sturdy. When my husband and I remodeled a home, I was all over getting Jenn-Air products and did as much research as I could--but with little to go on...

Satisfying story for someone who gets few chances to read

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 23:37:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I received this book as a "freebie", I think from amazon.com. Given that I have a full-time job, do the books for my husband's restaurant, and have a 2-year old; I almost feel deviant when I take the time to actually read a book (much less write the...

Vodka and Cranberry...Together at Last!

Thu, 15 Mar 2001 00:04:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I fell in love with Finlandia Cranberry from the very first sip. My husband owns a bar, and our night manager had already decided that the vodka makes a splendid cocktail when mixed with pineapple juice. Though I drank a bit of liquor in my high...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I received the Black and Decker Handy Chopper 5 years ago at a wedding shower, and it's still doing time in my kitchen. It is a very durable appliance that meets up to its claims. It is rather small, however, and has very limited uses.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I had pined for a Volvo wagon for several years before I finally broke down and bought my '95 850 GLT Wagon last year. I had been driving a '94 Camry, mostly because of the high reliability ratings of that car. I did a lot of research into the Volvo...

Well, at least the Service Center is Close To Home...

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 00:41:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author smaihlee - I will be the first one to admit that I was suckered into the aura of Oreck by way of their last few years' advertising blitz. When my husband and I bought a restaurant I was at the Oreck center within days to satisfy my intrigue. I was impressed by...
