Thu, 25 Oct 2001 18:48:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - Why would an American buy mail order books from an English book shop? In my case, I live overseas and was working on my degree. College textbooks weren't always cheap nor easy to find. Since much of my daily research involved the Internet, I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - I used to be a member of another affinity site which eventually went bust.

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 03:55:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - I first started using this software when Publisher 97 came out. The 2000 release is an improvement, but for what it does, I think you can do better. You don't have to be a power user to benefit from this software, but if you are a Microsoft Word power...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - How Does It Work?

Damons, The Place For Ribs

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 06:10:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - Damon’s is one of those restaurants that draws a crowd which is good because my philosophy is to avoid empty restaurants.

Sat, 28 Oct 2000 03:50:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - Sometimes I wonder how Barnhill’s makes a profit. These restaurants offer a buffet which is open at both lunch and dinner.

Worst Card I Ever Had

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 19:11:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - I first got this card a few years back because the interest rate was very reasonable and it wasn't a teaser rate. The bank gave us lots of opportunities to transfer balances from other cards with higher interest rates and I did that. What a...

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 06:20:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - You know how you tell a child not to do something, but they do it anyway? I should have listened to the other epinion writers. I'm sure this site, after being rated by more than 450 writers, doesn't deserve just one star, but it's the lowest we can...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - I'm not normally a fiction reader, but while on vacation for a couple of weeks, I decided to read it. I must say that Mr. Harris has quite an imagination, probably bordering on dementia.

The plot develops in an interesting pattern and it...

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 05:14:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - Sheba is definitely among the tastier cat foods available today on the market.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ginger136 - No, I didn't make up the slogan "The City Beautiful"; that is the official name of this booming place. Orlando is like no other place in the world. I'm not just saying that because I was born and raised there. For the last 21 years, I have...
