rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - No mention in directions that you should NOT stir the rice while it's cooking, nor should you remove cover. And while I had a pretty good idea that I should not do either of those things (because I'd heard that the beauty of these cookers is that you...

Wish I'd read reviews before I stayed here!

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 17:33:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - Seems I had a similar experience to others who wrote reviews here. Location is great. That's about it. Rooms are adequate enough, but for what we paid ($562 total for two nights, which included the tax plus a $50 "extra person" fee), we felt we were...

Harmony Club: Harmony Club Hotel - pretty good, but don't go looking for gourmet food.

Tue, 30 Jul 2002 13:56:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I recently planned a spur-of-the-moment trip to Bermuda, having heard of a cheap airfare. I then started looking at hotels through the internet. The hotel with the best price for my dates of travel was the Harmony Club, so that's what I went with.

Brunch at Calle Ocho

Mon, 3 Jun 2002 15:02:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - Calle Ocho is located in the Upper West Side, on Amsterdam Avenue, between 82 and 83rd Streets. When you first enter, there is an attractive, colorful airy bar to your left, with a semi-private booth on the right, and another little elevated section...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - My mother recently planned a trip for some of the family to go down to Tampa, to celebrate a relative's 70th birthday.

Adult Health Issues: Herpes: what it's all about....

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 11:57:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I have been living with herpes for about 7 years now. It was the first and only STD I've ever had. Around the time I was diagnosed, I had noticed some small red sores around my genitals. I had assumed that perhaps they were irritations from shaving...

I was embarrassed for Stockard Channing.

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 15:30:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I saw this film over the weekend, at a theatre that is usually reputed for showing intelligent, non-Hollywood type films. We had previously heard nothing about any of the films being shown at this particular theatre this past weekend, and decided since...

Charming French bistro in the heart of Chelsea.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I can't believe I am the first person to write a review on this wonderful restaurant! I feel quite honored. :)

Having recently moved to NYC, and into a one-month sublet in Chelsea, only to move again recently into my permanent digs, the last...

Guide to NYC subway

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 20:38:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - For those who may be recent arrivals in NYC, as well as for tourists, I am going to do my best to unravel the mysteries of the NYC subway lines so that you will be less apt to get lost, and so you will also be able to reach your destination more quickly...

SONY 5-CD changer: For my first stereo system, I'm very happy!

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 11:34:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I recently decided it was time to buy myself a stereo system. (Note that I have never owned one in my entire life; all I've ever had were boomboxes!) I really know nothing about sound systems. I've heard the terms woofers and subwoofers and know they...

Zia Papaya Enzyme Peel: not very effective on me

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 12:14:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I've had fruit peels done twice recently at the place where I get facials. These peels were done in two parts, with the second application following the first about 15 minutes later. Both times I felt stinging during the process, with the most recent...

This has some great disco classics!

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 20:01:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I always find it best to write music reviews AS I'm listening to the CD. I find one's thoughts on a CD can best be conveyed while listening to the CD. I'd say this particular CD is maybe a HALF-full Bucket-O-Happiness, meaning I really liked half of...

Unexpectedly.... Pretty Darn Good!

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 14:26:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - The consistent musical vein throughout all the tracks is that they have an electronica base. I found this to be a very "intelligent" CD, and well put together. The overall tempo of the CD is laid-back, and not "intense" electronica, like say Crystal...

If this is the Future, somebody kill me now!

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 19:53:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - OK, it's not as bad as my title suggests... I just thought it would catch your eye! I can't recall what prompted me to buy this CD, but more often that not lately, I buy CDs because I'd heard one of the tracks somewhere and liked it, or else it was...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in New York: If customer service is important to you, you will not like Sprint.

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 13:03:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I bought my first cell phone about 8 months ago and decided to go with Sprint, since from what I'd read in Epinions, it not only seemed to have the best overall sound quality, but it was suggested that it would only get better as Sprint added more sound...

Mastermind: My favorite boardgame

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 19:55:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - OVERVIEW

I first came upon the game of Mastermind when I was about 18. My sister, mother and I all love it, as we are the types who enjoy challenging our brains with mind teasers, analogies, etc. Mastermind is the ONLY boardgame I have...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - Antelope Valley is a part of the Mojave Desert in California. Each March-May, part of the Valley comes alive with acres of bright orange wild poppies. I had heard about the Poppy Reserve about two years ago, and specifically planned my last trip to...

Venice: They put the "laid-back" in L.A.

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 19:22:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - (Since apparently Epinions hasn't worked out all the Travel quirks, I must put my Venice review in the Santa Monica Vicinity category. I was unable to put it in the L.A. category since I already have a review there with an Overview on L.A. -

A great introduction to, and overview of, the recent history of East Timor.

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 18:43:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - My brother wrote this wonderful book, which I gladly bought shortly after it first came out. For those unfamiliar with East Timor, it is a small country located near Indonesia. Without getting too much into its history, for the past 30 or so years,...

Exciting like NYC, but with a more laid-back energy...

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 19:17:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - BACKGROUND

The L.A. lifestyle is part "Hollywood", part surfer, and every combination in between. You never know who you're going to see in the car next to you (like George Hamilton, who I saw next to me driving his Bentley), or who may be...

Especially great in the summer.....

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 16:06:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I love Neutrogena Body Oil, because it can be applied much faster than a cream moisturizer, and it makes my skin look better as well.

After stepping out of the shower, pat-off some of the excess water from your body. I find this oil works...

For lovers of the "dewy" look.

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 15:12:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I "discovered" Clarins Beauty Flash Balm a few years ago. It has become one of the very few products I cannot do without, and for which I do not know of a similar product made by any other cosmetics line.

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is...

A nice treat, but end results aren't that much more spectacular than my loofah sponge.

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 20:11:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - I had heard somewhere that Origins Salt Rub was terrific, so I decided to pick some up. It comes in a somewhat large, heavy Mason Jar type container. The salts themselves are on the large side (like the size of ungrated salts, or peppercorns), and are...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yippee1999 - Dimitri is a Parisian DJ....one of those who's made a name for himself, and decided to come out with his own CDs, like so many other club DJs of today. Overall, this CD has an experimental/lounge sorta feel to it. It is one of the most creative, well...
