I didn't pay much attention, since I get lots of books at work. I teach so get textbooks and advise for the college paper so get other types of new books as well.

That was in New York City, and one of my kids needed to use the bathroom. I think that Starbucks, like McDonalds, has enjoyed tremendous success by being generous with the bathrooms. That... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432845328004 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 19:59:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432845328004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430548094596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - Regina Louise shares her life as an unwanted child in Somebody’s Someone. This is a true story – a memoir. Names were changed for pretty obvious reasons.

I've had good luck with Memorex travel drives, but most of them have lids. Lids I lose. I think travel drive... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428052221572 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:54:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428052221572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427915579012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - Kashi Heart to Heart cereals have the seal of the American Heart Association.

His stories were fabulous - too good to be true. If he couldn&#146t find a great story, he just made one up. He was the Janet Cooke of the late 1990s and the hot writer scandal boy before... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426827157124 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:24:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426827157124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426818899588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - If you love to write, then you&#146ve probably dreamed of making a living as a writer &#150 and hopefully a decent living.

I’m a good sport, so I pushed myself away from the food table and rambled back to do the game thing which happened to be Grand Theft Auto 3. I didn’t know what we were... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426597191300 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 22:26:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426597191300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426459631236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - No. I am not a gamer. I am the buyer of the game systems as a mom of boys who like to have what is hot - like Xbox 360. I bought two PS game players. Each lasted just a little over a year and over the warranty time. I thought I'd switch brands,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426459631236 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:28:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426459631236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425128136324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - The Lazy 5 Ranch is about 10 miles from my house. It's an exotic animal ranch right in the middle of cow country. Most of the local farmers milk dairy cows. Henry Hampton tends exotics. I was teaching at NC State when one of my students did a speech... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425128136324 Sun, 6 Apr 2008 17:01:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425128136324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425106640516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - My son and I stayed at the Holiday Inn, Chapel Hill last month. We were scheduled for a campus visit and tour. UNC is a three hour drive.

My boys know this, so my youngest bought me A$$ Blaster Hot Sauce. This was a clever way for a teen to get by with buying something that includes a naughty word. A$$ Blaster comes in a neat little wooden outhouse... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417287671428 Tue, 5 Feb 2008 23:06:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417287671428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417029328516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - The only place I ever remember getting French Burnt Peanuts was out of machines like gumball machines when I was a kid. I liked most of the candies in the machines, but I especially loved the Burnt Peanuts. I never could figure out that name, but that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417029328516 Sun, 3 Feb 2008 22:32:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417029328516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417028476548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - I love Hershey assorted miniatures. Thumbs Up on Size I’m not supposed to be eating much fat, so the small sizes are great. I can eat one and do get quite a jolt on the fat and calories for a serving, but that’s a lot better than eating a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417028476548 Sun, 3 Feb 2008 22:18:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417028476548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417025068676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - I like Mike and Ike candies. They are a lot like jelly beans – but better I think. If you’ve never had Mike & Ike candy, then they are most similar to Jelly Belly beans. They’re just longer with more of a bullet shape. I’ve been eating Mike & Ike... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417025068676 Sun, 3 Feb 2008 21:45:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417025068676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416908611204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - If you’re a true crime fan, be sure to watch “Capote.” It’s a feature film – not a documentary. It’s one of the best biography films I’ve ever watched. Though I’d specifically recommend it for fans of true crime, it’s just a great all round movie.

With the air cushion pans, you have two layers and air between. This is supposed to allow for more even heating and perfect... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416853495428 Sat, 2 Feb 2008 12:18:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416853495428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416791694980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - “We Are All the Same” by Jim Wooten will touch your heart. It’s billed as the story of “a boy’s courage and a mother’s love.” That sums it up pretty well, but the book goes beyond just those basics to cover social and political issues in South Africa,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416791694980 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 21:38:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416791694980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416787172996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - When I was growing up, I always enjoyed visiting my grandparents and eating bulk cheese. My grandparents were farm people and had a big family, so they bought most everything in bulk. If they ever bought individual cheese slices, I certainly don’t recall... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416787172996 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 21:05:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416787172996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416765611652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - There are loads of hot sauces on the market. In fact, there are quite a few purporting to be Louisiana hot sauces. One of the very best, though, is the original &#150 dating back over 80 years. They have added the word &#147original&#148 to the name to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416765611652 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 17:19:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416765611652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416761745028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - I like some of the Office Depot brand products, so when I made an order recently at work, I thought I&#146d try out the OD rollerball gel pens. I went with the blue ink, because that stands out better on documents printed in black ink.
