rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - I'm sure I wouldn't win hundreds of online contests without this program!

If you do a lot of repetitive typing using the same words or phrases over and over, it's time for you to give a macro program a try. Macros are just shortcut keys that...

Awesome Stained Glass

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - Sainte Chapelle is located on Ile-de-la-Cite in the middle of the Seine, just a couple of blocks from Notre Dame Cathedral. Visitors are required to go through a metal detector before they get near the chapel since they are also entering the Palais de...

Friendly Rue Mouffetard Market

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 09:36:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - There is such an array of foods at open-air markets. I always enjoyed visiting them regularly when I lived a few months in The Netherlands many years ago.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - When deciding on where to stay for an upcoming trip to Paris, I didn't have much to go on… my last trip to Paris was 20 years ago! I found a web site that was very informative and a great help to me.

U.S. Census Bureau: My Government Threw Me Away (Or Tales of a Census Deadbeat)

Tue, 16 May 2000 03:12:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - Sooooooo... you filled out that incredibly long Census form, did you? Gee, I sure hope you got it mailed back in time or you're just like me... back to being one of the uncounted masses because our government tossed us out. (Or so my own personal Census...

Taking the Low Road to El Dorado

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 02:38:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - The movie was so-so. My six year old enjoyed it (she has yet to meet an animated movie she doesn't like!) but I had problems with some of the things the main characters did.

I'm not usually a person who goes to a movie and counts how many...

Excellent Choice

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 09:52:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - This is the top model in Toshiba's SuperTUBE TV line.

Our family recently 'moved up' from a 27" Toshiba to this 36" large-screen model. I probably wouldn't have purchased a TV this size since I wouldn't spend tons of time watching...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - A wonderful and alive living history museum filled with knowledgeable costumed interpreters.

MUST DO: Autumn in Rocky Mountain National Park

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 06:56:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - I highly recommend visiting Rocky Mountain National Park in the fall. At that time of year, there are far less visitors than in the HIGHLY popular summer months, the leaves are all turning beautiful colors (or already have), the weather's always been...

Gateway Arch: Never Again!

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 06:29:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - On a cross-country trip, all our family members got to each choose two 'must see or do' places to visit along the way. My son (age 11 at the time) chose the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. We were there the week before the 4th of July so I expected heavy...

First Class Deal

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 18:22:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - Even though we all complain when postal rates go up by a penny or two every year or so, there's no better 'deal' in this world than the US Postal Service. If you've ever lived in another country where postal rates can be much, much higher, you'd know how...

VTech 1920c: A great deal!

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 03:25:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - Previous cordless phones owned by my family were much costlier than my VTech 1920c model. Boy, did I feel terrible when the other cordless phones died untimely deaths... it made me afraid to spend more 'big dollars' on a good cordless phone. I liked the...

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 03:30:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - This is my all-time favorite magazine! I've subscribed to it for about 7-8 years.

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 05:03:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - This was definitely a good buy! We got this bed for my daughter when she was somewhere between one and half and two years old. She loved it! It was a scaled down version of the beds the rest of the family uses, no more 'baby' crib.

So Long, Flashnet

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 04:58:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - I've used Flashnet as my primary ISP for over three years. I'll be leaving them soon as cable Internet access is being installed in my neighborhood right now & I'd prefer that to Flashnet. When I first began using Flashnet, my monthly service fee was...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 07:12:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - Now here's something I really like! Free domestic long distance with no software downloads... great combination.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - As a kid, Willy Wonka was one of my favorite movies and my siblings and I even had an album with all the songs on it! We loved Roald Dahl's book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", that the movie is based on, too! (Roald Dahl also wrote this...

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 17:32:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Woody35 - I got this when my daughter was barely five and she loves it! She will use it alone or with friends, it doesn't matter... it's always fun! She likes to see if she can 'fool' the spinning, whirling daisy and not get hit by the randomly turning water...
