rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - What got you into this game?A friend of mine had purchased a new Xbox when her old one died out-of-warranty and a copy of the game came with it. Since she already had a copy of the game, I was given the 'spare' copy to play. I'm a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Where did you get this handy gadget?Having done plenty of sports in my life, I've always treated running as a necessary evil. In order to play soccer or basketball, you have to be able to run a fair amount. In order to have a lot...

Elta Creme -- it may be Swiss but it's not cheesy

Tue, 9 Dec 2008 17:21:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Introduction:I have had sensitive skin for as long as I have had skin. Literally--my mother tells me that she had to use cloth diapers because putting me in two disposable diapers in a row lead to nasty rash on my legs and stomach where...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - I have stayed in this hotel two separate occasions now while in San Francisco for leisure-travel, at the end of 2007 summer and at the beginning of summer in 2008. Both times I have been pleased with the quality of the accommodations, though the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Why did you pick this game? I was given a PSP unexpectedly a few weeks back, so I set about the task of finding a game to play on it. I like RPGs for the computer, so the thought of finding one for PSP sounded logical. I also generally enjoy...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Why did I choose an LG WM3677HW Washer-dryer Combo? I like to fancy myself somewhat of an environmentalist. I recycle everything I can. I used to contribute regularly to my relatives' compost piles. I try to use mass transit if possible. The...

Bauer 1000 Goalie Skates -- Who needs toenails, anyway?

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 13:20:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Why bother with goalie skates, anyway? The answer to that is two-fold. 1) I didn't want to destroy my player skate blades by getting them goalie-sharpened. 2) I wanted to actually be able to move across the crease with my leg pads pointing at...

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 17:42:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Why did you choose these pads? I started playing hockey last spring, as a goalie, for a brand-spanking new women's team in a beginner league. I needed leg pads. My league will loan out goalie pads for a year for a deposit of $100. You return...

Sorceress -- the story of Witch Child continues

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 01:25:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Sorceress is the sequel to Witch Child and, as such, makes for a good denouement to Mary's story because, via Agnes, you find out what happened to Mary after she left the Puritan colony. From a book perspective, it does not stand that well on its own...

24/7 Hockey: 24/7 Hockey -- for all your hockey needs...if you're lucky

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - Why did you choose 24/7 Hockey for your purchase? I've been hunting for a pair of hockey goalie leg pads for several months now. I'd been borrowing a pair from the league, I liked them a lot, and I wanted to get a pair of my own (Tour...

Witch Child -- Who said juvenile fiction is only for juveniles?

Mon, 19 Dec 2005 02:23:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - I have rather eclectic reading tastes, but I'm fascinated with history--particularly historical fiction. The Witchcraft Trials of 1692 in Massachusetts have long-interested me. Obviously, when I found this gem at my local bookstore, I couldn't help but...

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 05:31:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - You picked this mask as your first one based on WHAT?!?! Ok, I'll admit it--sometimes, I shop for hockey gear like the female that I am. When I started eyeing up goalie masks to replace the player's helmet I'd been using to mind the nets, I...

Mission Betty Flyweight Skate - What's the Difference?

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 21:21:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author attickah - But I should be easy to fit...I'm average! I've never thought of myself as having a 'narrow' foot. Being a woman, I wear women's shoes but I certainly don't qualify for the narrow width in those. Then, I took up hockey and went to buy a pair of...
