Something different for a change!

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 08:57:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - One of the things I liked best about Songcatcher is that it is different! When's the last time you saw a movie that revolves around the British origins of American folk music?!

The story can be predictable at times, other times you'll find...

I'm Happy.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I read some opinions about water getting all over the counter, the warmer plate peeling, etc. I've had my HB coffee maker for about 8-10 months now, and I have no complaints. Mind you, I don't brew 12 cups of coffee a day, more like 4, and it's gone...

Best $400 I Ever Spent!!

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 21:19:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - February 2003 Update: I've had my Toro for two years now, and it's still going strong. We've had so much snow in Connecticut this year, and my Toro Powerlite has gotten through all of it. During the blizzard a couple of weeks ago, I went out three...

Aiwa NSX-MT725 Digital Mini Theater System: AIWA NSX-AJ14 -- PU!

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 15:11:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - OK, so I'm not an audiophile. I'm not rich, either. Can't someone of modest means find a nice, decent-sounding mini-system for under $200? I thought I had when I bought the AIWA NSX-AJ14, but I was wrong. (My mother always said you get what you pay...

Best of 1999

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 12:54:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I'm going to keep this brief. I absolutely loved this movie. This was probably the best movie I've seen in five years. American Beauty has it all: twists and turns, great story, surprises, comedy, drama, great characters. I'm not a big Annette...

Free airline travel!

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 12:14:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I've had my Citibank AAdvantage card for about 5 years now. Being of a less-than-moderate income, I never really traveled, but treated myself to a trip to California to visit a friend for my 40th birthday. I purchased an American Airlines ticket, and...

Block Financial Kiplinger Tax Cut: "Professional" Tax Prep At Home!

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 11:59:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I used to pay an accountant BIG BUCKS to do my tax returns. They were pretty basic, except my husband was in construction and never kept good records of his mileage, tool purchases, etc. The accountant used to "estimate" how much he spent . ...

Me . . . LOVE an Insurance Company???

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 21:27:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - Update February 2003: Thought I'd update my review. Bottom line: I STILL LOVE AMICA! Two days after Christmas, my car was broken into and about $600 worth of possessions were stolen. Amica covered the claim very pleasantly and with sympathy for our...

DisneyQuest? $$waster!

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 00:15:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - Sorry, but I have to disagree with the review by HJS33. We just got back from WDW less than two weeks ago, and had been anticipating a super-fun time at DisneyQuest for so long! Everything we had read about the place made it sound as if it was a...

Couldn't put it down!!!

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 23:53:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I cannot remember the last book that affected me like this. I could NOT put this book down. I was riveted right from the first page. Dolores Price went everywhere with me for the few weeks it took me to finish it. (If it weren't for the darn kids...

Seesaw.

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 23:46:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I just have to agree with ThorBjore -- I did the same thing! I'd pick the book up, read voraciously, then become bored (or tired) and put it down for a few days. Pick it up again, and REALLY get into it, read for hours, and become bored again. But, I...

Simply: A Good Read

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 23:37:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I almost didn't buy the book. I had just come off a heavy, but very compelling book that I didn't want to shake (Angela's Ashes), and all I wanted was an easy read. Little Altars is a relatively skinny book, so I thought that at the very least, if I...

Simply moving

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 10:48:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I couldn't put this one down. Yes, it's a depressing story. No, nothing good happens to Frank McCourt. But that's not the point.

This is a true story. Every so often, you have to sort of pinch yourself and say, "Hey! This isn't...

Review of 1996 Odyssey

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 09:59:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - UPDATE: At about 50,000 miles, my SRS light came on. My airbag module was shot and needed to be replaced for about $500. At 72,000 miles, a gasket broke and I lost all of my oil on the way to work. I now am up to 96K and getting a new car. I'm...

Best vacation ever!

Fri, 3 Dec 1999 08:42:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - Believe it or not, I WON a trip to Keystone 5 years ago. Oh, man, what a time we had!!! It was a trip for four people, and I took three of my adult girlfriends with me for the four-night trip in August (we are not skiers). We had the best time! There...

WOW! 33K miles in 2 years?!?!

Fri, 3 Dec 1999 08:35:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Quint41 - I joined AAdvantage two years ago when traveled to San Francisco. I had never relatively no where at that time, and went to visit a friend. I had heard that there were lots of benefits to joining a frequent flyer club, I just had no idea at the time...
