About MrsGrimm
|
A writer who has been described as a cross between Martha Stewart and
Morticia Addams. Get yourself invited to a cocktail party and find out why.
Everyone here at Epinions appears to be updating their profile page to describe who they are, how/why they rate/review. Here, then, is MrsGrimm's opinion on opinions.
Opinions are exactly that. When I post something here, I am requesting you to spend your valuable time and InterNet dollar to read it. I strive to offer quality, honesty and validity in exchange. I also try to make my reviews fun to read - a little visit with MrsGrimm.
I respect Epinions as a mature forum for the exchange of experiences & viewpoints upon which I may base future personal choices. There has been much discussion about developing and presenting one's "Epinions Personality".
Know that if the "personality" you choose to present here includes labels like 'Candynipples' or 'Pantsless', or if your profile gushes 'why, yes, thank you, I -am- single...', I won't waste my time or penny to read you. There are plenty of forums for your intent and I'm confident you know where they are.
Am I a prude? Ask Xiag privately. That is not my reason. I spend my limited computer time exploring Epinions reviewers who will give honest, mature information. If the photo you've chosen to post as your introduction to the world shows you with a porn star sprawled across your lap, I will consider anything else you offer me just as puerile and treat it accordingly.
My Fellows here trust me to rate an Epinioneer from a sound basis. This is what I strive to do. To this end, I'd like to spotlight a handful of Fellows deserving of attention:
For integrity and purity of Epinions intent, you must read The.Knight. Since he does not live in this country, he may not participate in the cash incentive program of Epinions. He invests his time and experience freely, says what he means and means what he says.
For a strong, outdoorsman's viewpoint on devotion to family values, you can do no better than Rotten. He is more than qualified to speak expertly and interestingly on all manner of sportsman's interests, and has a depth of insight and sensitivity with regard to spouse and children that will humble you. Read and benefit from his experience.
For a most remarkable individual offering a variety of entertaining, enlightening reviews and an approach to Life deserving of attention and applause, permit me to introduce Blackelve. All I can say is go to her site and meet her. You won't be the same afterward.
An Epinions newcomer deserving of attention is Splats. You can trust his reviews of music, even music you haven't heard, because he knows the industry from the inside and offers you this experience in is reviews.
I'd mention Xiag here and go on about his computer gaming and Martial Arts expertise, but everyone knows I am his partner in real life, and to some that dilutes my praise, however sincere.
For pleasure, I pursue all things green and growing. The house Xiag and I are designing includes space for beehives, specialty herbs, culinary flowers and mushrooms for commercial sale, and all the gardens we both long for. Botanical Latin is my specialty, and botanical toxins are my personal hobby and fascination. I actually have a glass locket containing the flower, leaf and fruiting stages of Deadly Nightshade (my favorite plant toxin). There is always a botanical experiment of -some- kind going on in the house....tho Xiag drew the line at my opium poppies...(for COLLECTIBLE value, you know, Wizard of Oz and all...).
Xiag and I are both fantasy-fiction writers, my flavor being Dark Fiction - just what you'd expect from a house called Grimm. My when-I-grow-up goal is to complete my licensing as a practitioner of herbal/alternative medicine. I collect the artwork of Maxfield Parrish and the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.
And my other car really -is- a broom! (wink....)
