Fri, 8 Feb 2002 13:53:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - Every electric can opener I have tried in the last 10 years was basically crap - having to spend 10 minutes trying to get it to grab the can is NOT my idea of convenience - and isn't that the #1 reason why we WANT electric can openers?! They just don't...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - Back in early 1997, there was a really big online sweepstakes going on where they were giving away X2 modems. As an avid "sweeper" at the time, I participated in the sweepstakes every day. There were a LOT of sponsors, something like 50 or so of them,...

Sat, 26 May 2001 06:15:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - I've had numerous cats over the years and normally would buy the cheapest "regular" litter available because back then, it was all basically the same. I never considered

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 04:30:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - First of all, I live in Houma, about 56 miles from New Orleans, so I'm pretty sure we're considered to be in the "New Orleans market".

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - I've been smoking for about 22 years, the last 10 years of which I've

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - I have absolutely NO artistic skills whatsoever. Wish I did,

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 17:57:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cypress - I've never gotten a busy signal yet. Perhaps that is due to the fact
