Finally! : a woman's SUV

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 00:27:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - I have always been rather turned off by SUV's...they seem overlarge, difficult to maneuver, and a true pain in parking lots. I never have thought I would like driving an SUV, nor could I ever imagine my petite mother trying to manage such a bulky...

Thu, 18 May 2000 09:53:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - I admit, I was enticed to try Phonefree after watching those commercials where everyone is burning their phone bills. It seemed like a good idea...calling from one computer to another in order to cut down on phone bills. Granted, I'd already tried...

Wed, 17 May 2000 10:06:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - I predict that within five years AOL and similar ISP's will be nearly nonexistent. The reason? Free ISP's which provide BETTER service, BETTER tech support, and a much much better price. Last summer, I was determined not to spend a single dime on...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - Every kid needs to grow up with a play tool set...there's not a doubt in my mind about that. Granted, the noise might drive you insane and you are likely to find little toy screws in the strangest places, but it's really all worth it in the end.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - I don't have cable, but I must confess that whenever I get the chance to watch cable tv, I turn right to the food network. I know this must sound insane, but their shows are incredibly addicting! Obviously, the famous Emeril Lagasse is truly the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - Working as a volunteer in the preschool program at the Rochester School for the Deaf, I have seen it all. I've had vomit on my shoes and spit in my eye. I've pulled angry kids off of each other and mended PLENTY of broken and abused toys. One toy in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - In high school, I learned a little bit of HTML...at least enough to make background colors and text. However, this was soon forgotten, and although I wanted a nice website of my own, I did not have the skills to create one. During my sophomore year in...

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 17:11:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - Maybe I'm stupid. Maybe too much studying has reduced my brain capacity to just about nothing. But I just can't seem to ever remember all of the passwords and login names I have for all the various things I've joined. So, when I discovered this great...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author as011g - I'm twenty years old, my baby brother is a not very babyish fifteen, but this book has not left our minds since our mom first read it to us way back when. Perhaps what is so endearing about "Love You Forever" is the way the text gains...
