Great Roller Hockey Shaft

Fri, 26 Sep 2003 11:02:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ir0nma1den - I've been playing roller hockey for about 10 years now.

The Big Stink Surrounding the Litter Maid

Tue, 21 May 2002 16:25:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ir0nma1den - My wife and I have four cats. You can imagine what kind of smell emanates from the room where our four litter boxes reside; even when cleaned everyday. Because my wife refuses to clean the boxes, I'm left doing the "dirty work." It's really not a bad...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ir0nma1den - I ran cross country sophomore through senior year in high school and even ran recreationally for the first couple years at University. I weighed a svelte 135 lbs. That was ten years ago. Fast forward to the summer of 2000. I sit in a chair for 8...
