How my husband and I conceived our second child...

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 14:34:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author k1j2g3 - My husband would most likely be mortified, if he knew that I was writing this review. I guess revealing one's family planning secrets is right up there with talking about the intimate details of your sex life with co-workers in his book.

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 16:20:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author k1j2g3 - I had heard all the rave reviews for Traffic and the fact that many thought it had Oscar written all over it. Soderbergh was touted as a genius. Benicio del Toro stepped into the limelight and now gets decidedly more money per picture than he did...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author k1j2g3 - Maybelline Great Lash Mascara...I have always read in magazines and seen on TV shows that this is the number one product make-up artists recommend to us normal folks. As far as a cheap substitute for the real thing (i.e. professional make-up??),...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author k1j2g3 - I discovered Phil Rickman by chance. At work we have an unused table that has become the book dump site. People will leave magazines they have read but no longer want, novels, and other reading materials.

Learning Tool of the New Century

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 18:30:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author k1j2g3 - This toy should be required for every child over the age of three. I think we would then eliminate a lot of problems in this country with children not being able to read or having even basic knowledge.
