Vicks VapoRub - Childhood Memories

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 12:52:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - As adults, we all have triggers. Little nuances: a sunset, the way someone's hair falls against the face, certain smells that set us on a path of memory, recalling events and times of past note usually with fondness.

So it is pretty sad that...

Primatene Tablets - Safety Valve for the Allergy season.

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 17:34:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Like so many of the minor genetic defects I seem to have garnered over the years, I come from a long line of asthmatics. Born with it, suffered through it, laughed at it and missed it when it was gone...not. Over the course of a sickly childhood, I've...

To Me my X-men!

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 21:16:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Hoh boy. I've only been waiting 20 years for this movie.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - I don't know, I think my fetish started as a child.

My dad wasn't the most coordinated man in the world. Why, I remember the hammered 2x4 that came flying out of no where only to hit me in the head. The belt sander that ran over my hands...

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 12:32:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Jay Ward, once upon a time, created a legacy of bad animation.

Not that anyone cared. Cartoons like Super Chicken, Underdog, and of course The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show became household names not because of classy,...

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 16:21:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - In a world where any 12 year old with a modem and some free time can wreck a perfectly good surf session, a firewall isn't the worst idea in the world.

Black & Decker 16" Hedge Trimmer - Have Cord, Will Travel

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 20:46:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - It's been awhile, hasn't it? Oh sure, there was a time when you did it once, twice a week, but now? Monthly, maybe. Yearly, if you're feeling less energetic. Heck, you only get older; some things just aren't the same - the drive is gone.

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 21:29:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - After 10 years of no worries, suddenly lawn care is now an issue. Even before I move in to the silly place, I'm needing to cut some grass, trim some hedge - jobs that pretty much are the reason behind having kids.

Conveniently (maybe too...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - With the lease on my 1997 Honda Civic DX paid off, I find myself with a little under a year to own a car free and clear before I have to turn the sweet thing in. So naturally, I'm looking now.

I like my Civic, but...well, let's face...

Tue, 13 Jun 2000 20:40:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Let me be honest - I do not have an iron stomach.

This, my friends, is one of those write-off dealies. We got me, that-guy, gogigantes, ZentropaJK, cmuir, Elorraine, and some others - assuming the stomach pump worked it's magic...

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 16:02:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Well, it's not the worst Bond movie ever.

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 21:06:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Must...have...Cartoon...Network. This is law in my home, as spoken by a curly haired 3 year old with a mean uppercut hiding in that tiny body.

Sadly, our future new house is in a cable zone that doesn't have it.

Well, being a tech...

Dogma Barks, but Doesn't Bite

Wed, 24 May 2000 22:19:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Why is there always an assumption of evil about any movie that might poke fun at religion? Do we honestly think God can't take a joke? If He cannot, then do we honestly think He wont git the varmints?

Because of some really odd last minute...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lpmiller - Ok, a motherboard isn't really your friend. It wont pick you up after your car up and dies, it wont fend off the evil hordes attacking your castle, it can't even cook Mac and Cheese when you have the munchies.

But without a good one, your PC...
