rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - I have been using an Oral B electric for several years and during a recent dental visit, my new hygienist recommended looking at Sonicare. I hadn't given it much thought, but she demonstrated one for me at the office and gave me a $15 mail in rebate for...

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 22:12:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Let me preface this review by saying that I've known many people who keep houses for shorter periods of time than I keep cars. I'm 34 and this is just my third car (and one of those I only had for 2 years.) I was driving a 1997 Chevy Cavalier that...

No glowing lights, no windows, just a fantastic case

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - I have owned this case for almost 5 years now, but felt the urge to write a review of it here at ePinions because it is the best case I have ever used. There are so many choices out there as far as computer cases go... different sizes, shapes, colors,...

Great property and location for the price

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 16:29:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Used priceline.com to bid on 3/3/06 for a 2.5 star hotel in the St. Louis Airport zone for a wedding stay on 3/10/06. Our main reason for this zone was proximity to the N. Hanley Metrolink station, as the wedding coincided with the St. Patrick's Day...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - When it came time to upgrade my system, I knew I would probably end up with an Abit or Asus board, and that is what happened. I used to have an Abit KR7A-Raid, but decided it was time to upgrade. This was done several months ago, but haven't been able...

Thu, 6 Jan 2005 13:37:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Most of you have noticed that the war between the consoles is becoming very tough to deal with. You want to play Halo? Sorry, you need an XBOX. Are you a Mario fan? You'll want a Gamecube. GTA- San Andreas (for now)? The PS2 is your system...

Perhaps the most fun video game ever created

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - I had just purchased my Gamecube before the holidays and by chance, a friend was passing through and had Donkey Konga with him. I'm so glad he did, because the game is absolutely addictive, fun, and even a bit educational. The basic concept: The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - My wife and I were coming to St. Louis right after Christmas (Dec 26-28) and wanted a place centrally located because our friends and family are scattered throughout the St. Louis Metro area. I decided to go with Westport, and we used Priceline to get a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - After upgrading my home theater to Dolby Digital/DTS, I decided it was time to get rid of my cheap KLH center speaker and I had read many online reviews of Acoustic Research speakers. I found these on closeout at Accessories For Less...

Perhaps the best hard rock guitar album ever!

Fri, 18 May 2001 17:05:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Many people only heard "More Than Words" or "Hole Hearted" from this disc, and that is a tragedy. Extreme is a band that was so different, so innovative, and so talented that their music went right over the heads (or through the ears) of music fans. I...

Fri, 18 May 2001 16:49:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Where can I start with this film. It's one of those that you either love or hate. Many people have told me they "don't do baseball films." Well, this film isn't really about baseball. It tells it's story and works it's magic through a connection to...

So much to do in St. Louis!

Thu, 17 May 2001 20:21:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - First off, I am a St. Louis native now living in the Kansas City area, but I still come back to St. Louis as often as I can. There are so many things to do in St. Louis, but it's not a city for everyone. I'll share some of my favorites with you:

Very reliable DVD player

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - I picked up my A320 at Wal Mart. I had been researching online, and saw that most people had been paying around $400 for this model. I paid $290 for it and couldn't be happier.

Installation was a breeze. I'm a bit of an A/V nerd, but even...

Mon, 14 May 2001 17:27:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - Until recently, I had a rather scathing review of Cingular here at epinions. Through the years, my service was provided by Ameritech, then Southwestern Bell, and then Cingular. So many buyouts, I couldn't keep up. Finally, Cingular has gotten its...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpryde - I had been to Madison many years ago and always wanted to go back. As luck would have it, my soon-to-be wife was accepted to graduate school at UW-Madison not soon after we met. So, I have driven from Kansas City to Madison 7 times in 20 months. I...
