Hello Everyone,
First, I'd like to welcome you all to my Epinions webpage and thank you for dropping by. Please sit down, take your shoes off and grab a cup of coffee and get to know me a little better.
Also, please scroll down and read about my feelings on ratings and Web of Trust.
OK, let's talk...You should know that first and foremost, I am a devoted mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, aunt & friend. My family and friends mean the world to me. I am in my thirties, separated with three children.
I am a Jill-of-all-trades, which basically means that I do a lot of things, but do them half-a**ed!
Anyway, I am a writer, specializing in humor or "humour" for my British mates! I have also been a model, salesperson, PR rep and newsletter editor, but most importantly, I am a mommy to three beautiful children and a faithful, committed girlfriend to one Keith MacDonald, screenplay writer and author who is very good to me. I am very lucky and thank God for my blessings every day, especially for my children, my friends and family and the love of Keith.
I am a Christian and have done intense Bible study. I try to put God first in my life. I have found that when I live this way, everything else falls into place but when I don't, it goes all out of whack!
I grew up in the South -- Southern born and Southern bred. I am shop-a-holic, makeup junkie and love the finer things in life. Don't we all?
Marital Status: Single again!
but committed to Keith
Occupations: Writer...I have been a Public Relations Rep, an editor of a couple newsletters, an office manager, a secretary, an optician's assistant and optical salesperson, a makeup salesperson and model
Education: going for dual degree in Marketing and Management & Associate's Degree in Opticianry and I attended modeling school
Here's a little more about who I am...(the trivial & useless, but fun stuff I talked about earlier)
Hobbies: spending quality time with my children, shopping, reading, writing, singing, traveling around the world, shopping, hanging out with friends and family, music, oh, did I say shopping?
Favorite food: Italian & Chinese food
Favorite Color: (in general) red (to wear) black
Favorite Flowers:Roses,Orchids
Favorite Season: Fall
Favorite Place in the Whole World: Rome, Italy (great shopping - OMG!!!)
I spend a lot of time reading and rating on Epinions. I love it! And, I actually do read the reviews before I rate. As you know, this takes a long time.
I will rate Very Helpful on reviews that I feel are very helpful to me and answer the questions that I have regarding the subject. The reviews need not be long to be rated VH. I have read some reviews that I would rate as Most Helpful, but I do not have a MH button, so I cannot rate a MH even if I want to and I feel like a MH is deserved. Helpful means it's good, but there's some more I am wanting to know (you've hooked me but I am wanting more), Somewhat Helpful means you've just scratched the surface in your review and last and definitely least are Not Helpful and Off-Topic these ratings are just that - pretty self-explanatory.
MY WEB OF TRUST:
Since I spend a lot of time reading and rating, it sometimes takes me a few days to get around to rating all the people on my WOT. Everybody who has me on their web of trust (I thank you very much! :-)), I will try my hardest to read and rate all your new reviews in a timely manner. I am not on the computer every day, so... I'll also try to go back and read some of your older reviews from time to time(which will become harder and harder to keep up with as my WOT grows HINT, HINT!); this reading of many reviews helps me get a sense of who you are. I could randomly rattle off at least a few facts off the top of my head about everybody on my Web of Trust. I do remember and pay attention to detail.
The people I have on my web of trust are people whose reviews I have found to be very helpful to me and those people that I enjoy reading. Also, I've got those people that just write bangin' reviews or commentaries, editorials, poetry, help pieces, etc. on there and also people who have written things that have touched my heart. :-) Just because you aren't on the list now, doesn't mean I won't put you on eventually. It takes awhile for me to get around to reading everything and some people that I've meant to put on my WOT, but some reason or another, I was called away while reading their reviews and just haven't been back yet - don't dismay, I haven't forgotten you!
I respect every person on here as an individual. We are all different and we are all entitled to our own opinions. All of our opinions are not going to be the same on everything and you know what, that's OK.
I write on here for fun and to meet great people like you other Epinionators. It certainly ain't for the money! It's also an amazing study of human behavior. I try to read at least a couple new people every day that I'm on the computer. There are so many great writers on here, it blows me away; so many creative and wonderful people, I'd like to get around to reading everybody's reviews. I do try.
Thanks again for stopping by my page and keep on writing, reading and rating those opinions on Epinions!! Please don't forget to read and rate mine either, OK ;-)
Hugs and Kisses,
Karen, the toospoiled Angel :-)
P.S. Thanks to all of you who have put me on your WOT. I really appreciate your faith in me :-)! Also, I love receiving all your e-mails. I will always try to get back to everyone who e-mails me. I get lots of e-mail so bear with me, it may take a little time, but I will write you back. I do appreciate the sweet e-mails and compliments that I have received from you guys.
Also, I'd like to give a special thanks to the wonderful people who have taken the time to help me with questions I've had about Epinions.
Thanks for spending some time with me and
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are a goddess!
Which Ultimate Beautiful Woman are You? brought to you by Quizilla

You are naturally born with a gift, whether it be poetry, writing or song. You love beauty and creativity, and usually are highly intelligent. Others view you as mysterious and dreamy, yet also bold since you hold firm in your beliefs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss that never lessens and always blows your partner away like the first time.

-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend's friends and be silly.

! You are most like a diamond !
Unique, Gorgeous, but pretty selfish. That just about sums you up.
You're not the deepest of puddles, but no doubt you're the
prettiest. You pretty much think the world revolves around you,
, making you very greedy and vain. However you are unique! You're
demanding, but like a diamond - you are probably worth it. You are
like a diamond because you are one of the prettiest gems worth looking at.
Congratulations ... You're the most beautiful gem around, but chances are, you already thought that anyway.
You enjoy life, humor, and being exuberant. Wherever you go you usually find yourself stealing the spotlight without even trying. You love to let go and have fun.

You Are Pride !
You're competitive about most things. And feel compelled
to constantly assure yourself of your greatness. But hey,
It's not all bad - maybe you are that good! You generally
look presentable, and are well educated because you wouldn't let
yourself be any other way. People are intimidated of you though,
so try and tone it down a bit - after all nobody is perfect.
Congratulations ... You are the 'Best Kept' of the 7 deadly sins!

Romantic movie! You probably won't star in a porno anytime soon. You seem to be really into the whole "love" thing...romantic sex with perfumed sheets and candles all over the place. You're probably a hopeless romantic. You value sex and respect your partner too much to do anything like porn. AWWWWWW! <3

Sugary Evil: You're the evil flavor of the day, the popular type of evil that gets upset when it sees true evil and gets all offended. You're the "tee-hee, I'm teh evilest" type whose most evil act is to whine about your parents/friends/coworkers. That's okay, though. You're young yet, you have time to grow and expand your evil into a dark rose.

Congrats! Your a Pure Angel! Angels, as far as most of them go, are all compatabile creatures, but Pure ones simply are symbols of God. Pure Angels always appear when a child is born, when a rainbow is seen, or when someone shares their first kiss. They never grow old, an can appear in the shape of a naked woman with white, bold wings. Pure angels are the carriers of god, and show their love to everyone in the world.
