Now that we have eaten there, I just wonder how this restaurant does it. Oh, well, Whass-his-name (the mob guy) was killed in front of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~451304590980 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:00:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_451304590980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438968487556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snats - Not a fan of documentaries, I rented this 1974 South African film, because it comes from Jamie Uys, creator of “The Gods Must Be Crazy” – one of my favorite kind-hearted films ever. It did not hurt that the movie won Best Documentary at the Golden Globes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438968487556 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:42:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438968487556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438468775556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snats - I stumbled upon Vanguard pretty much by chance, when I saw a favorable mention in a Morningstar article. As I was looking for a good mutual fund company to invest in, I decided to research it further. And the more I read, the more I liked Vanguard... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438468775556 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:51:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438468775556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438454685316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snats - I have had my Specialized Crossroads for about four years now, and I like it a lot. Not a great bicycle expert, I asked my son (working at a bike shop that summer) to pick one out for me. My requirements were very simple: I wanted to have a reliable and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438454685316 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:57:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438454685316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438331281028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snats - I didn’t expect “2 Days in Paris” to remind me of Woody Allen’s work, but it did: the two films exhibit the same neurotic attention to detail, exaggerated frankness, self-deprecating humor and mumbled dialogue – in this case, in two languages. However,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438331281028 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:11:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438331281028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438046658180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author snats - Everybody knows about Priceline.com, mostly from TV advertising, which encourages the timid to be more aggressive in their efforts to save on the surplus rooms that hotels sell at a discount through this service. Not very susceptible to ads, I resisted... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438046658180 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:11:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438046658180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438038138500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snats - Have you noticed that much of the British cinematography centers on weddings and funerals? Sometimes, it takes more than a single such event to make a movie (remember &#147Four Weddings and a Funeral&#148?), but in this case, we are dealing with just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438038138500 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:38:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438038138500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437720288900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snats - And to think I almost refused that trip to Johannesburg!

Oh horror!!! No, really: we are under the roof on the 12th floor, all the windows are now covered in plastic, they took out a large unit... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437708230276 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:43:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437708230276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437527809668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author snats - The whole adventure started during Oktoberfest last year, when something like 8 beer-soaked guests tried to fit in our friends' hammock - with predictable results, of course.

Having suffered from its noise and inefficiency for several years, we set out to find a better and quieter one on the Internet.

My husband looked at me sceptically, as well, but by now he doesn't even ask.
