I happen to work in a law firm and also thought that I could relate to the book... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195349876356 Tue, 6 Sep 2005 00:33:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195349876356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195349483140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - As much as I swore I would not want a trampoline for my kids (safety issues), I gave in and have not regretted it yet. In fact, I would have to say that is is one of the best purchases my kids have ever received from Santa.

Despite one of my daughters being over the "recommended" age for Leapster, it is still one of the best gifts Santa has ever brought her. My six year old regularly plays... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180869959300 Fri, 22 Apr 2005 16:20:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180869959300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173543952004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - Even though there is a Coldwater Creek store right by my house, I almost always make my purchases online. There are always specials of some sort going on and you can't beat their online outlet! I have bought some things on the online outlet for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173543952004 Tue, 15 Feb 2005 22:59:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173543952004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173543558788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - I know many people may view Frontier as a "low cost, low end perhaps" carrier, but they are always my first choice. I have flown Frontier many, many times in the past few years and (knock wood) have never had a canceled or delayed flight. I can't say... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173543558788 Tue, 15 Feb 2005 22:56:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173543558788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173424545412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - It was not my "typical" type of read (often going for the light hearted sappy fiction to escape reality), but this book came highly recommended. It was one of those books that you could not put down and when you were done you wanted more! It is fiction... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173424545412 Mon, 14 Feb 2005 22:18:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173424545412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170946760324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - This was one of those weekends when you needed something funny and had seen all the popular comedies recently released and were just searching for a laugh.

We have since cruised a second time with another cruise line and were not even near as happy as on the Radiance.

I am convinced there is no other time to go than "off season." We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel (a real plus...close and early entrance to park!). We honestly did not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~56296771204 Sat, 16 Feb 2002 22:51:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_56296771204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_56296181380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - Although there are many, many hotels located near Disneyland, I don't think anything would compare to staying in a Disneyland Hotel. It just felt like it was needed to be part of the total experience. We stayed at the older "Disneyland Hotel" and will... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~56296181380 Sat, 16 Feb 2002 22:39:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_56296181380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/kifm-review-3454-460AD517-3A4D5C7D-prod3?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - with our 15 year old son.

It is worth paying a little extra (there are a lot of cheap "phone in" alternatives out there).

It was a little sappy, but in a way that kept you going and didn't make you sick. I enjoyed it from the second I started reading it and found it hard to put down... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~973581 Fri, 5 May 2000 22:22:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/book-review-236D-5B793C1-39137231-prod4?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/otdr-review-5FF6-3A9F1F8-390E42B2-prod6?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macendan - Having kids does not have to slow down your bike riding!
