Great Family Destination!

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:50:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - We were looking for a place to stay in the Williamsburg area and selected the Great Wolf Lodge. We expected it to be a perfect launching ground for day-trips in the area, while still providing plenty to do at the resort itself. We weren't...

Horrible Ride. Don't waste your time.

Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:44:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - Unfortuantely, Disney really missed the mark on this ride. If it was supposed to be intense, it was intense only in that its loud and busy. And, it would be scary for young folks. For adults, its just annoying.You are initially...

Space Mountain - OK, but not for TALL people!

Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:22:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I hadn't been on Space Mountain at Disney World (Florida) since I was a teenager. I had fond memories of it, and now that I have a kid of my own, I thought he might like it. We had already been to Disney Hollywood Studios and done the...

Favorite ride at any Disney park

Fri, 7 Nov 2008 14:43:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I wasn't sure I was even going to get on the Tower of Terror ride, as I'm usually not too big of a fan of intense rides. I'm 6'7" tall and often don't fit comfortably on these rides and get tossed around quite a bit. I decided that I was...

Looks nice, feels bad

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I was in the market for a new softball bat this season, and read had only seen two reviews of this Combat Anti-virus bat prior to purchase, but both were positive. It is a full-composite body, fully certified by the ASA. The reviews I had read said...

Simple and exactly as advertised

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:37:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - As with many people, I was running out of space on my PC's harddrive due to the accumulation of digital photos, music, etc. I decided that since I had a wireless network in the house, I preferred the Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution as opposed to...

Great Value for an SUV/Minivan

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 00:02:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - We needed a new vehicle that was capable of carrying kids and stuff and my wife decided she liked the Freestyle. Although it is primarily her vehicle, I drive it on weekends and my general impression is that is a car that has good value and good general...

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Great Vehicle for Someone 6'7" Tall!

Mon, 14 Jun 2004 23:21:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - Since I am 6'7" tall, I don't really get to go car shopping. I get to "try on" cars! My previous car was a Ford Escape - believe it or not, I fit quite well. It was time for my wife to get an updated car, and she liked my Ford Escape so I gave that to...

Good cookware, and fun to use!

Thu, 25 Mar 2004 16:30:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - After doing cooking on average cookware for 10 years since graduating college, I decided I was tired of watching teflon flake off into my food. Uneven cooking was driving me crazy, and cookware that wasn't "oven-friendly" was making me have to deal with...

Dyson DC07 steel / yellow Upright Vacuum: Best Vacuum I've Ever Used

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 12:55:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - We were using our Dirt Devil vacuum for about 5 years, and I just got tired of having to take it apart every few vacuums to clear out the clogs due to poor design and low suction. I decided to get something that would not give me the grief that the Dirt...

Simple, small, and high quality...or so I thought...

Sun, 21 Dec 2003 10:50:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I decided that I wanted an MP3 player since I recently began a job that required me to travel cross-country periodically. I felt that something like this would be much easier to deal with than a CD player and CDs. All I had to do was figure out what...

Best CD I've Purchased In Years

Fri, 4 Apr 2003 14:40:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I was first introduced to Evanescence a few months back when "Bring Me to Life" was the theme song for a WWE pay-per-view. I was intrigued and decided to try and find out who it was and what they were all about. After hearing that song on the radio two...

Decent unit for the money

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 15:34:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - This Sony unit is a very basic unit with no "bells or whistles". If you're looking for a monitor with good sound and range, and do not need any other features (video, "walkie-talkie" capabilities, etc), this monitor will suffice. We used it for over 2...

Better than regular printer - by a little!

Sat, 26 Oct 2002 00:59:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - We purchased this printer to augment our digital photography setups on our desktop PC. We have a Lexmark Z51 printer that we had been using for photo quality printing, but decided to buy a dedicated printer for many reasons.

Setup was...

Good unit for the money

Mon, 8 Jul 2002 17:55:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - This unit was purchased with one idea in mind...to give DVD and VCR playback capabilities in our bedroom at home. We have our home theater system in the family room and just wanted something to have in the bedroom when we were doing chores or just...

Quite satisfied so far...

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 23:13:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I wanted a new SUV to carry all my stuff (and the new kid's stuff!). Being that I am 6'7" tall, I really had to find one that would comfortably fit me. I went to every car dealer I could find and said "Hi, I'm here to try on an SUV". I sat in almost...

Great Camcorder!

Sat, 2 Jun 2001 13:47:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I spent 3 weeks researching which camcorder to buy. I immediately decided upon MiniDV due to picture quality and future availability. The remaining time was spent deciding which one to get. After much review and comparison, I decided upon the JVC...

Challenging and fun

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - For the "last golf outing before my child was born", my friends and I chose to spend a little extra money and try out Worthington Manor. It turned out to be a fun and frustrating day! But, what would golf be without a little frustration! I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I decided that I needed a laptop machine. With the birth of a new child, I needed to be able to have a machine that was mobile. I spend a few weeks looking into these things, and my general impression was exactly as was my preconceived idea...these...

Good food, bad prices

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 14:51:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I go to the Corner Bakery, on average, about once a month. I really like the food, but I always come away feeling like somebody stole some money from my wallet. Their variety is decent. Chicken salad, tuna salad, and various other lettuce salads...

Worked for me!

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 22:36:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I decided to try "The Zone" diet based on a friend's recommendation. I am 6'7" tall, and can carry a lot of weight because of my height, but I decided that 310 pounds was just way too much. Its not that I was obese, but had a bit of a...

Serves its purpose well.

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 15:11:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I signed up for Prodigy internet service when I bought my new PC about a year ago. It was one of those "sign up for 3 years, get $400 off your new computer" deals. I had my choice of MSN, Compuserve, AOL, or Prodigy. I chose Prodigy because...

Not overly impressed...but overly expensive!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - The wife and myself received a gift certificate to the Palm, so we chose to go there for our 5 year anniversary dinner on May 21st. I'm glad we had the gift certificate because I wouldn't want to have to pay for that experience myself.

Amana Built-In Dishwashers : Quietest I've ever heard!

Sat, 20 May 2000 17:36:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - We moved into a house that was built in 1990. The dishwasher that came with the house was a standard, contractor grade dishwasher. It was adequate, but I got tired of having to prewash AND I hated having to turn up the TV volume while it was running...

What a Pleasant Surprise!

Thu, 11 May 2000 19:00:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlandis44 - I found myself in the market for a new 3-Wood after the old one that I was using fell apart. It was a 10 year old, generic club, so it was time to get a "real one" anyway! I tested out a few different brands including the King Cobra and Adams...
