rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - Lucky AMEX Platinum Card holders sometimes have the opportunity to upgrade to the AMEX Centurion Card, but is the AMEX Centurion Card just a matter of prestige or is it actually worth its annual fee?

Sat, 26 May 2001 22:15:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - Beware of Aspire's website! I'll say one thing--their marketing department is really something.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - I bought this book by accident in a box of used cookbooks. When I discovered it I almost didn't read it because I thought it was just another Bridey-Murphy-type reincarnation book.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - At first I used Opera only to speed up things up when surfing was especially slow.

Sat, 7 Apr 2001 01:58:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - One player always scores like the Tortoise and the other like the Hare. Who do you think will win the most games over time?

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - Before I got my Rocket eBook, I was convinced that ebooks are the books of the future, and would become more popular than paper books.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - If you're going to Houston, you'd better have a GREAT reason. You say you're meeting a long lost friend. Nope, not good enough reason. The friend could meet you outside the city limits, or better yet outside the county.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - I've heard that you must sometimes shock a wisteria into blooming. So how do you do that? The usual advice is to prune it severely. Done that, didn't work.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GlendaG - Be very careful when using this product because it's so effective it will kill just about anything it touches. Any plantlife, that is, except for trees, and I'm not so sure about those.
