rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - To begin, I will tell you that I need cleaning supplies more often that I would like to admit. I somehow managed to obtain two ferrets, which was not really my choice. In addition, I also have a litter-trained dog that makes occasional...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - The five or six hour drive from Kansas City to St. Louis, Missouri, is something I’ve only experienced a couple of times. Most recently, I traveled from my home (not Kansas City) down the route to a wedding reception in St. Louis. Perhaps it was...

Sat, 26 May 2007 20:47:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - A common misconception in the world of alcohol is that Southern Comfort is a bourbon. Even my local grocery store has Southern Comfort sitting next to Jack Daniels. In actuality, Southern Comfort is classified as a liquer (though it...

Mon, 14 May 2007 16:51:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - I recently went to Circuit City to purchase a new television. My initial plan was to purchase a 36"-40", non-high definition television. I didn't really see the point in an HDTV. My argument was that "normal" television was just fine, and an HDTV...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Disclosure: In the interest of full disclosure, I must point out why I picked the Saturn Ion for my mode of transportation. My old car gave up. The brakes and struts went out a few weeks after I had the transmission replaced. It was...

Sun, 18 Aug 2002 17:05:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Depending on who you talk to, everything is either cheap in Vegas or everything is expensive. If you gamble and use a card, the comps can add up quickly. But you have to gamble...and the losings can add up very quickly, as well.

There are...

Thu, 8 Aug 2002 23:54:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Like to greedy CEOs or something.

I am going to start this review with a hypothetical example. Let us consider what may be a "normal" month of long distance calls. I live away from my family, so I use a lot of minutes. I use about 500...

Sure Mr. Infomercial Guy, I'll Buy It!

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 00:27:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - At least I saved the $5 shipping fee and the annoying telemarketer calls that often come with buying stuff off of t.v.

CajunGrocer.com: This is like torture!

Thu, 18 Jul 2002 03:23:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - CajunGrocer.com is like a drug dealer. They know that no matter what they do, you will keep on going back. So they charge insanely crazy prices so that people can enjoy Cajun food. I bet a high percentage of their customers are displaced Cajuns trying...

Think About Life and the Perspectives of Others

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 12:54:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Who is Bill Elliot? I surely have never heard of the guy, and I assume most people have not heard of him either. That is what makes his book, Tying Rocks to Clouds so great.

The premise of the book is that this "nobody" named Bill...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - So you just got food poisoning from eating the day old meat at Western Sizzlin, eh? Well you probably should rush yourself to your local hospital and let your insurance work for you. But if you just have some slight stomach problems from Taco Bell's...

Ensure--If it is free then take it.

Sat, 23 Jun 2001 14:45:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - I get my Ensure free through a local cancer service. The stuff is not the best product I have ever used, but I would say it is not the worst. As you will read I say some fairly average things about this product, give it three stars, yet I do not...

Going to Medical School from Northwestern State University

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 12:55:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Currently I am a psychology major who plans on attending graduate school. But getting into graduate school is not easy, so I am taking pre-medical classes to have medical school to fall back on in case. I started as purely a pre-medical student when I...

The Toyota Tundra--Prepare for an Adventure

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 16:30:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - My father had a huge, full-sized Chevrolet. It was a 1993, so it was getting a bit old. No air conditioner, no radio and it randomly would shut off even while driving down the interstate. Needless to say, he got rid of it, especially having his last...

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 18:44:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - I have eaten at the Western Sizzlin more than once. I never really enjoyed it, but it was also a few years ago so I never felt competent to write about it. After a very recent visit, though, in a location that I have never visited before (some small...

Sidewalk Chalk--I'm Getting a Penny to Write About This?

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 02:30:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - For my own personal amusement, as Epinions is hardly profitable anymore unless you spend four hours reading and rating (or have a really established place on the site), I have decided to review really obscure items when I am bored. Maybe obscure is not...

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 19:12:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Warning: There are enough Jenga reviews that I do not need to go into great detail. What I want to add is variations of the game that college students may find fun. In the first section I give a brief, objective review of Jenga. So if you...

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 21:57:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chicknyell - Hey, where did all the college information go? Oh well, I wrote this before the "improved" Epinions came around, so I'll post it here. It is not everything about LSU (I wrote one of those that seems to have disappeared), but only on the athletic...
