Inside I'm Dancing

Sun, 22 Jan 2006 11:33:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Rory O'Shea Was Here is not your typical feel good movie. The setting is Dublin, Ireland within a residential facility for people with disabilities. The main characters are each in a wheelchair - one due to muscular dystrophy the other due to cerebral...

Shoes.com: Fantastic - great selection, good prices, free shipping, etc!

Sat, 29 Nov 2003 01:32:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Shoes.com has helped me out tremendously. Having big feet and a preference for Birkenstocks makes it difficult to locate footwear - online or in person. Shoes.com, however, e-mails me regularly with specials and ALWAYS carries the shoes I want. They...

Photoworks.com: Very good - the on-line album sharing is the BEST!

Sat, 29 Nov 2003 01:25:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Photoworks is a pretty cool service. You can send them your film, or upload your digital photos, or send them your memory card...you name it. Then they not only send you your pictures in the mail, but they post them on-line for you to organize in roll...

Ebates.com: Excellent - who doesn't like to get money back?

Sat, 29 Nov 2003 01:19:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I LOVE Ebates! How can you lose? Beyond the fact that you have to register, Ebates does the rest of the work. You simply download their "Mo Money" program and the rest is cake. When you shop on a site that is registered with Ebates (most popular...

DealCatcher.com Coupons: Great - saved me lots of money for on-line orders!

Sat, 29 Nov 2003 01:12:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Dealcatcher is GREAT! While I can't say they always have coupons for EVERY store, it's well worth the visit to search for a coupon or discount on their site. I have visited Dealcatcher many times and have found percentage off discounts, free shipping...

Digitized Spyro

Sat, 29 Nov 2003 01:09:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - If you're a Spyro fan, this game is going to look a bit funky. There must have been some graphics complaints from the previous games, thus prompting the creators to digitize Spyro and his friends. [yuck] The game itself, however, follows along with...

Frog & Toad are EVERYONE's Friends

Thu, 24 Apr 2003 00:37:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - This is one of those classic books that kids should have memories of reading with their loved ones. The stories build a sense of Frog & Toad's co-dependent relationship and the unique personalities each possess. The five short stories reveal what...

Not the typical Stephen King

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 18:39:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - In my opinion, most Stephen King stories are completely off when they move to the big screen. The Green Mile is the exception to that.

In short, the story revolves around John Coffey ("like the drink only not spelled the same") and...

Not all blood and guts

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 23:47:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Ladies - do not judge this book by it's cover. I'm not usually one to stereotype, but this is the type of movie where most women say, "Oh please, that looks so STUPID...I'd only watch it to see Brad Pitt." That's what I said, anyway.

Patty Jane's House of Hope

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 23:34:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I found this book by accident while visiting Amazon.com (small plug). Based on the generic description, I decided to give it a try and BOY am I glad I did!

The story starts in the 1950's describing Patty Jane's picturesque husband and...

Jump through Jane's life...

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 23:19:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Get ready to speed through this book and smile the entire way. The main character, Jane, starts out as a wise as* 14 year old and develops into a well-matured 30-something by the last page.

Jane's life follows the typical path that many of us...

Rush job

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 21:15:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Walt Disney is probably rolling over in his grave. This movie probably took a lot of time technically to develop the sights and sounds (which really were outstanding) but the story line dipped below that of a Saturday morning cartoon.

The...

Hallmark eCards: When you care enough (but don't want to spend the cash...)

Sun, 21 May 2000 22:34:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Hallmark free e-cards have expanded recently to include a number of really cute, typical Hallmark cards. YAY! The only problem has been that some of the recipients (WebTV folks) are not able to open their cards due to the animation or other complicated...

Mystic (not just for the pizza)

Sun, 21 May 2000 12:52:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - If you come to Connecticut, don't just come here for the casinos (PLEASE!). Visit Mystic. There's lots to do for families, couples, students, or singles.

The most popular attraction is one I've never actually gone to myself - the Mystic Seaport...

Sold out...

Sun, 21 May 2000 00:08:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - First things first, I love Ben and Jerry's ice cream. On the other hand, I'm really disappointed that the company has been sold to the same company which owns some diet-food-producing corporation. It's like oil and water.

We visited the Ben and...

No ski bunnies here!

Sat, 20 May 2000 23:48:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Some of my fondest memories of the early 1990's are from time spent at Burke Mountain - winter, spring, summer, AND fall.

While attending college at [very] nearby Lyndon State, students were given free passes to ski Burke - a real bonus which was...

Thule 579 - Canoe Carrier: What other toys can we buy now??

Thu, 18 May 2000 19:08:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - We were in the market for a kayak, so to ensure that we would actually follow-through and get one, we purchased a Thule rack system with cradles for our soon to be purchased kayak.

Unfortunately, I had to go to the store 3 times before getting the...

Who wants to live in Leave it to Beaver land?

Thu, 18 May 2000 10:53:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I had no idea what to expect from this movie. The synopsis shown of it as a preview and the write up on the back of the video couldn't even do it justice. On the surface, Pleasantville is about the changes in times. It's about the 1950's: courtesy,...

Somethin' about that logo on my cup...

Wed, 17 May 2000 23:42:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I'm a Dunkin's junkie (when I can't get my hands on some Green Mt. bean). When I started working in mental health, I noticed that almost all of my co-workers held Dunkin Donuts coffee cups around with them practically ALL day. 6 years later, I not only...

goodbye pine needles, hello gin

Wed, 17 May 2000 23:26:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I am by no means an expert on Gin or any other type of drinking liquid. If you want an in depth look at the origins of gin etc., etc., you want the Epinion written by cmuir. He (she?) is a definite expert.

What I WILL say is this: the first time I...

Beautiful Rocky Neck

Wed, 17 May 2000 18:36:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - We just returned from an off season (May) trip to Rocky Neck - it's a beautiful half mile beach with soft, well-tended sand. Because it is prior to Memorial Day, admission was free. Post Memorial Day, admission is $5/$7 (mid week/weekend) for CT...

Parks: The Flume and surrounding area

Wed, 17 May 2000 18:23:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - I admit that I'm biased to this area because it is where I grew up. I worked at the Flume and spent quite a bit of time there enjoying the peace. If you are in Lincoln, NH, visit the Flume - walk alongside the waterfalls, climb the rocks, enjoy the...

Worth renting

Mon, 15 May 2000 12:20:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Stuart Little is a cute movie depicting the acceptance of individual's differences, sharing love, and learning from others. Of course, I'm not sure that little children will "get" all of that from the movie, but it's possible.

Our three...

I Speak for the Trees

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 22:28:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - Among Dr. Seuss' many brilliant books is this, The Lorax, a book that will speak to children and adults alike about the importance to caring for the environment. To read a story by Dr. Seuss, one must expect rhyming nonsense words, cute make-believe...

Amortization Handbook: Be informed!

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 22:03:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patchoules - This little book keeps me totally grounded. What do I mean? Here's an example: let's say I'm looking at a particular truck that goes for about $20,000. The dealer is offering a special of 5.5% financing for 5 years. To most, this sounds great, but...
