rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - My daughter originally brought a copy of “The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales” by Jon Scieszka home from our local library. I recall looking at it with some skepticism when she chose the title from the shelf. That’s one of the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - My mother bought the Rival Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker (CMS520) in the spring of 1999. It was expensive by comparison to other models she has purchased over the years, but she was hoping that this one might last longer (average life span of a coffee...

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 17:12:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - I am an e-greeting junkie. I love to send them, and I love to get them. I send dozens of e-cards each week, so I feel I have a fairly good understanding of what makes a good e-greeting site and what doesn’t. Pacific Products E-greetings is a site...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - We purchased our 1998 Ford Contour Sport GL with a 16 valve, 4 cylinder engine in October of 1999. What attracted us to this vehicle? It was nearly new, it was in our price range....and it was a pretty blue color! In addition, all of the literature...

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 15:47:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - When I was a kid there were some extremely graphic Perkins commercials on television. The way they portrayed the generous amounts of creamy butter melting over stacks of pancakes, the bacon cooked just right, the steam rising off a fluffy cheese omelet...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - In mid-July, our old Eaton ‘Viking’ washing machine finally gave up the ghost, with a cloud of smoke and a load of towels (of all things!) in mid-cycle. It had served us well, despite it’s advanced years, and we had purchased it second hand for only...

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 13:48:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - Slowly but surely I am making a dedicated effort to research each and every free e-greeting site available. Amazon.com was there, a site which I really didn't want to use, and sure as heck didn't want to like, but I found I couldn't help...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - My family and I head to Niagara Falls at least once a year, and we have seen it in every season, from the austere and frosted beauty of the Falls in January, to the crowded insanity of a July 1st long weekend (what the heck were we thinking???). Our...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - We have a formula in our house. When a new children's movie comes to video, we rent it first. Lots of folks we know just buy the latest titles to fill their libraries and have a large selection for their kids entertainment, and obviously that suits...

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 00:27:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - Have you heard the term 'adult onset acne'? Well, I've been living the reality for a few years now. I honestly couldn't believe the fact that my skin in my high school years had been clear and healthy, yet by the time I'd reached my mid twenties, it was...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinook - We signed up with Freelane about 1 week ago, and after suffering through some AOL withdrawal symptoms (I never realized how babied I had been!), we're getting the hang of it. I have to admit I was suspicious (I mean, come on, NOTHING is really free),...
