rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - "Misunderestimated" by Bill Sammon (White House press corps member for the Washington Times) tells the story of President George W. Bush in an enjoyable way. The first chapter is riveting. As a person who follows national politics very closely, I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I spend long hours in front of the computer, and being in my mid-40s, it was causing me some problems. I have tendonitis in the elbows, which was exaserbated by using a mouse. Also, the tension in my shoulders was terrible. When my last mouse...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I just picked this up at Tuesday Morning for a deeply discounted price -- $27.00. It was missing the owner's manual and the measuring cups so I called Eureka's customer service line, on a Saturday, and after a short time on hold, was helped by a young...

Scott's Classic Reel Mower -- A Great Choice

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 07:09:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I have always enjoyed cutting the grass, in spite of having to fight with those darn cords that you have to pull in order to get the lawn mower started. It seems like, unless the mower is new or very expensive, that it takes more effort to get it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - Rocky and Bullwinkle are characters from my childhood, a time when cartoons were simple and funny.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I recently moved out of an apartment and into a house, complete with a lawn. I had to purchase everything to maintain a lawn, so I was hoping to keep my expenses down.

Crispiest Fries and Tastiest Burgers at Checker's

Thu, 18 May 2000 23:38:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - For some reason I've never given Checker's a second thought when deciding where to grab a burger on the go. I think it's partly because I was under the impression that they were just a knock off of Rally's, and that sort of turned me off to them.

Sun, 14 May 2000 19:00:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - While going over reviews for the film "Where the Heart is," the word contrived keeps popping up.

Tue, 9 May 2000 15:36:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I purchased my eMachines 466id from Office Depot in October 1999. My Microworkz computer which was less than a year old died, and even though I purchased an extended warranty, they refused to honor it, so I was forced to replace it, and I had to do it...

Mon, 8 May 2000 11:55:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - Pointclick started with a bang and it's looking like it may end with a whimper; however, they're not dead yet.

Mon, 8 May 2000 11:04:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I ordered a Logitech cordless mouse and was surprised with the FedEx guy showed up with this huge box! I ripped it open to find not only the cordless mouse, but the keyboard to go with it.

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I'm a member of many Get-Paid-To-Surf Programs, earning money every month from several of them.

Sat, 19 Feb 2000 02:46:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - "The Planet's Funniest Animals" is hilarious despite its rather unfunny host. I don't know what it is about funny home video shows; they all seem to have terribly unfunny hosts cracking jokes that are so not funny that it can be painful to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - From the commercials on TV promoting the movie, "Galaxy Quest," I really did think that there was a TV show in the '70s called "Galaxy Quest" and that this was a remake of that show. Well, I was in for a treat.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author anniebob - I just saw the worst television show. It was called, "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire."
