No leads to break, quickly erasable, they say. "Looks like a pen...Writes like a pencil! No Lead Residue", the packaging... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~436008160900 Fri, 4 Jul 2008 11:09:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_436008160900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_430400835204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I received the Toastess TFC-1 (hereafter the "TFC") as a Christmas present in 2006. Our main coffee maker, a Mr. Coffee which is soon to be replaced, does not make one or two cups of coffee very well, so evidently my considerate wife felt the TFC would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~430400835204 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:39:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_430400835204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422918262404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - Whether we like it or not, people make judgments about us based on our "accessories." I don't think people could tell us more about ourselves by our watch than we already know; but if you read someone's Epinions reviews enough, you will already know... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422918262404 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:34:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422918262404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412850097796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - The BIC Pro Gel (BPG for short) is an attractively-packaged retracting gel pen at a low price. If you are a constant pen-shopper like me, you may easily be swept in by BIC's effective marketing and packaging. If you or your office-supply admin read... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412850097796 Tue, 1 Jan 2008 14:44:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412850097796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412848131716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I purchased a bulk pack of Pentel Energel 0.5 gel pens after reading a few positive review on this pen. I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect pen, and having not found it yet, the Energel reviews encouraged me to try it. You should know up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412848131716 Tue, 1 Jan 2008 14:18:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412848131716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412461469316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I've finally found a ballpoint pen that meets all my needs--the Zebra Z-Grip, medium point, retractable. First, it is dirt cheap. You can get a dozen for under $10. Compare that to any roller-ball or gel pen that runs out three times as fast. Then... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412461469316 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 11:56:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412461469316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400446885508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - The Zen Nano Plus (ZNP for short) is Creative Technology's 1 Gig version of their MP3 player. This means it has twice as much memory as the 512 Meg player, and 4 times as much as the 256 version (assuming equal settings). This means you stuff the Zen... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400446885508 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 12:53:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400446885508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_360946503300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - There is probably a good reason why I am the first person to write an Epinions review on the M603AT by New Balance: They are a poor running shoe. I am a positive person, and I don't blame products for my lousy buying decisions. Usually, I can find... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~360946503300 Sat, 12 May 2007 15:13:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_360946503300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_296864091780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - The Eureka 431A (431A for short)is a light, powerful and easy to use vacuum cleaner for under $60. I could stop right there, but you deserve to know the redeeming features of this nice little machine. Since context is the essence of any Epinions... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~296864091780 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 12:49:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_296864091780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_296564592260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - In spite of his rather corny TV show, I have always had a great respect for Chuck Norris due to his physical skills and excellent book on Zen. So, his endorsement of the Total Gym as a martial artist (as well as that of Wesley Snipes) was a big part of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~296564592260 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 19:10:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_296564592260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_249197923972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - Nathan Miller is a Pulitzer-nominated author with over 11 history titles to his credit. I reviewed his "Sea of Glory" work in an Epinions write-up earlier this year, and found it to be a great combination of history, personality, and descriptive naval... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~249197923972 Sat, 19 Aug 2006 12:53:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_249197923972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_248521002628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - If you read through most of the reviews about Fifth Third, you will find that most of them were written around 2000 to 2001. According to web history, at the time 5/3 (I'll abbreviate for space) was just getting done swallowing a smaller bank named Old... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~248521002628 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 23:22:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_248521002628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245226704516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I am not a book reviewer, but I am a constant and avid fan of military history. Not a casual reader, I generally have a book with me everywhere I go. I read after dinner, on lunch, and over morning coffee. On weekends, I will finish 1-2 300 page books... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~245226704516 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 11:12:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_245226704516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245219102340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - The Zebra Jimnie Gel roller ball is an excellent general purpose pen. It sells for a competitive price, is available in money-saving bulk packages, and competes with more expensive pens in features and writing quality. Since writing quality is what... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~245219102340 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 10:46:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_245219102340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238241877636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - If you're on this page, you're already at a place where the dimensions, color options, specifications, and features of this car are well described. I have set out to give you a summary of this car which is now 1) Three years old; 2) Purchased used; 3)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238241877636 Sat, 24 Jun 2006 10:51:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238241877636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180040732292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I purchased the RCA Lyra RD2012 after trying a Memorex MP3 player which had the annoying habit of its software not recognizing the player. The RCA was competitively priced, seemed to have a lot of features, and RCA had a decent reputation. I'll state... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180040732292 Thu, 14 Apr 2005 21:32:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180040732292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180037652100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I'll try to be as positive as possible about this little number, but eventually you'll get the idea that I don't recommend it. The BM was inexpensive at $89 on sale, certainly cheaper than most of the other MP3 players on the rack. Having had good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180037652100 Thu, 14 Apr 2005 21:01:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180037652100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149996801668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - I paid $15 for this router on eBay (used), so with $5 shipping, I have a massive investment of $20 into it. I've read all of the reviews of this router before writing this one, and I think I can give it a fair shake while ADDING to the discussion--not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149996801668 Sun, 1 Aug 2004 20:20:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149996801668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149988871812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - First of all, I am a Nikon fan, and I remain a Nikon fan. This company makes some of the finest optical equipment available, and quite a bit of it is very affordable--dare I say, downright cheap for the value. Read my review, but remember, I will keep... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149988871812 Sun, 1 Aug 2004 18:40:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149988871812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149986709124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - Yes, I had to get the DeWalt DW318K saw after my Skil jigsaw and a Chicago Electric jigsaw collectively drove me crazy. The quality of this tool is worth the money, and if you are lucky like me, you will find it used for less than retail.

It seemed like every time I turned around, he was saying, "I was using the Dremel tool to...."

Unlike most forms of exercise, you can pedal a bike fiercely and actually GET somewhere. I do not disparage walkers or runners, because I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137030307460 Fri, 16 Apr 2004 21:56:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137030307460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136913325700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - After listening to ZZ top for years on the radio, I finally broke down and bought their greatest hits CD. Since music is such a subjective field, I'll try to show you why ZZ Top and this album are worth listening to, even if you have to cover your... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136913325700 Thu, 15 Apr 2004 21:57:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136913325700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136549076612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sixthmichcav - Before writing this review, I read Freak369's review and thought, "What more could you possibly say?" To her credit, not much, but I think I can put the Pentel Clic Eraser (PCE) in different terms. First, if you are looking at erasers, you are a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136549076612 Mon, 12 Apr 2004 21:12:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136549076612?linkin_id=8003929
