rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - My job is to maintain the department Intranet, which houses all of the resources that the various smaller departments within my group utilize. I use Microsoft Front Page 2000 for the majority of the web page design required for my position. I do some...

Bottoms up!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - We just moved into our first new home this summer. Before the ink was even wet, we set out to find a refrigerator. Our first decision was style: Top Freezer, Bottom Freezer, side-by-side. We liked the features of the side-by-side but I read too much...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I was full of expectations with this movie: it had all the makings of a good movie (not excellent, but certainly worth the rental price). Matt Damon is a good actor and Gwyneth Paltrow is coming into her own as well. Unfortunately, this script would...

7th Heaven: Grab the family, pop some popcorn, watch this show!

Wed, 24 May 2000 16:57:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I stumbled upon this show while flipping through the channels on an otherwise boring Sunday night. This was about a year ago (maybe more - time flies when you're having fun, right?). At first glance, I loved the show because it depicted a large family...

Tue, 2 May 2000 17:35:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - When I put cordless screwdriver on my Christmas list, I wasn't prepared for what my husband would come up with. I was expecting some Black & Decker, pretty in pink, handy around the house cordless screwdriver. Well - that's not what I got (and boy...

respectfully disagree....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant in search of a new Mexican restaurant to eat at after a horrible experience at another local chain. I have never been more impressed with a restaurant.

We arrive for dinner and the place was full...

This restaurant takes the cake!

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 01:29:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - My husband and I go to this restaurant about 3 times a year - it's our special 'getaway' when we have the time and the money.

The prices aren't sky high but generally the entrees are about $12-$18 a plate. We haven't made it out of there for...

King, Stephen: Number one fan....

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 01:15:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I have tried on several occasions now, to write down how I feel about King and his writing. I don't have the words to completely express how I feel but this will have to do.

I marvel at his talent, his creativity, and his imagination: his...

AutoCAD has me hooked!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - First a little background about myself: I've been going to college off and on since 1987 and when I returned for the third time (got married, had some kids...) I was going for my engineering degree. Being married and having 2 kids under two, I started...

A change for the better

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 23:46:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I opened a checking account when I was in High school. After being with the same bank but having it be sold and watching the service go down and down, I decided it was time to change! I'd heard a commercial on the radio advertising the fact that you...

never thought taxes could be like this!

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 00:34:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - Usually I hire an accountant to do my taxes -- not because I can't but because I'm lazy. This year, due to someone's recommendation, I decided to try the Turbo Tax For the Web Program. I was able to go through and get to the end before I decided...

I love this mail service

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 22:07:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I only have this email feature at work but love it so much that I will probably download it for home as well.

Features I love:

A) the sorting feature: it sorts by sender, date, importance, and even subject title! This makes it easier...

wait for the video

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 14:49:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - As a huge Sandra Bullock fan, I rushed right out to see this movie. Well, Miss. Bullock did not disappoint me but I felt the script was lacking.

The beginning of the movie was mildly amusing: Sandra ruins her sisters wedding in a series of...

the last 15 minutes made the movie worthwhile

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 23:59:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - To be truthful, I only rented this movie because of the hype. I'm not a big Bruce Willis fan but, after this movie, he's moved up a notch.

I liked the premise of the movie - Bruce Willis as a child psychologist going to the extra mile to...

in the garbage after only 1 day

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 23:33:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - We bought this toy for my then 3 year old son. He loved baseball and would get mad because I 'pitched like a girl' to him. My solution was to try out this nifty toy.

At first glance, it seemed like the perfect solution: he could either...

Great Movie!

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 12:00:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - Cruising through the isles in the video store, I stumbled on to this movie. I had remembered seeing the trailers for it when it was in the theater but, with 2 small children, we don’t get to the theater very often. I picked up this movie and brought it...

AOL Internet Mail: addict? you bet!

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 16:12:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I've had AOL for just over 2 years now. I haven't experienced any of the dial-up problems that I've heard are so prevalent. As far as the email is concerned, let me outline what I like (and don't like)

LIKE:

1) I like the blocking...

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 16:39:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I bought this car used (from a lot) about a year ago. I bought it for substantially less than blue book but, like most used cars, it came with a few problems. The biggest problem is that it needs a new power steering unit which I still haven't replaced...

WinAmp: Love it!

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 12:02:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I downloaded WinAmp about 9 months ago on my work computer. I was using a walkman to listen to the radio (which get's boring) and tapes (even more boring). A friend in the office recommended it to me and sent me the link. I downloaded it right away and...

great fun for the car!

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 20:30:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - When we signed up for skiing lessons this year, I knew that I was really going to have to try to make the 1.5 hour drive there and back for 6 weeks fun and interesting for the kids if only for my sanity. I cruised the toy store in search of 'car toys'...

Highest service levels I've seen

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 12:44:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - Since I've been driving, I've had several insurance companies and just as many levels of service. I got USAA when I discovered that I qualified due to my father's military status (bonus - I didn't have to be in the military to qualify!!)

It got so bad, I left!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - When I was a teenager, I got my first checking account. That bank got bought by a different bank, who go bought by a different bank, etc etc etc. I ended up with a checking account owned by US Bank.

Some of the services that they offered...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - I've been shopping with Homegrocer.com now for over a year. I heard about it randomly and decided to give it a try. I have yet to be disappointed with the quality or the prices. And the service is over the top!! My driver always gives me a heads up...

pretty good value

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 01:28:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - When my husband totaled our mid-sized truck, I decided it was time to step up to a mini-van. We have two kids and their various friends that we drive around frequently and the four seatbelts in our Geo Metro just wasn't cutting it. We knew that we...

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 17:32:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LAURALYNNE - Growing up on watching this show, I was happy to run across it again recently. After watching a couple of the shows just to refresh, I decided that it was OK for my children to watch (I'm quite picky when it comes to their TV viewing). We all sat down...
