You can make a great beer!

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 04:33:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels is a great read for any beer enthusiast, but an absolute must-have for the homebrewer who aspires to make great beer. Brewing beer is not rocket-science (unless you want it to be), but gaining the...

Eat where the really local locals eat in Norfolk, VA

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 19:39:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - After living in Norfolk, Virginia for several years I've enjoyed eating in several very unique local restaurants that you wouldn't be likely to accidentally stumble upon during a short stay. If you are in town, I recommend you try some of these for a...

If Mustek gets any cheaper, they'll be giving them away!

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 06:12:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I looked at several HP and other high-dollar scanners before I found the Mustek 600 III EP scanner at about one-third the price. Three and a half years ago, I bought it for about $120 and since then the prices have steadily decreased until they are...

Amana Over the Range Microwave Ovens: Great features - at a high price.

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 01:40:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - A few months ago, our over-the-range microwave oven died and the replacement was the Amana RadaRange. After seeing dozens of microwaves at a hundred dollars and even less, I would never have bought this $469 model if I were paying for it myself, but...

Every time we get in the car for any road trip, my wife and two sons yell out "South of the Border! South of the Border!" over and over again. Usually they tire of it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller -
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

When most people think of the Mississippi Gulf Coast today, the first thing that comes to mind is the casinos, but to me that is among the least of the attractions. I can't really blame...

The Healthiest Way to Cook Great Meat

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 03:01:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I love infomercials! Call me crazy but I really enjoy watching all the things these people come up with. Every time I watch one I keep asking myself what I can sell on my own infomerical. You know these people have to be making a fortune if they can...

I accidentally bought a new truck

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 03:19:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - You always have to be careful when you say "new" referring to a vehicle to avoid misinterpretation. I had been driving a Mazda pickup for several years and had gotten tired of looking up at everything on the road. I was also in the middle of...

Rival 4 and 6 Quart Poly Bucket Ice Cream Freezers: Homemade Ice Cream - you can't beat it with a stick

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 16:26:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I love ice cream - my whole family does. Nothings beats the taste of fresh homemade ice cream.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller -
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

One of the most interesting experiences of my life occurred when I won a free trip to the Persian Gulf courtesy of the U.S. Navy. The first month and a half was at sea with no port visits,...

USAA - Just try to file a claim!

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 01:47:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I used USAA for auto insurance for five years, or I should say they used me. They were the first insurance company I had my own policy with. While I lived at home, I was always on my parents' State Farm policy. When I acquired a car...

I'd be lost without it! And you get free software.

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 03:07:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I would be lost without the Rand McNally Road Atlas. Most of my family lives in Mississippi, my wife's family lives in Maryland, and now we have moved from Virginia to California. We drive thousands of miles every year and this atlas is an...

It's a Miracle!

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 21:18:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I have a tomato vine jungle in my front yard. The eight tomato plants there are over seven feet tall and so thick that they form a wall. Instead of staking them, I tied them to the iron fence that separates our "courtyard" from the front...

Great water at a FRACTION of the cost!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 23:15:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I have never had a problem drinking water straight from the faucet before I moved here last year and discovered how bad water can really be! The taste doesn't bother me that much, but anytime you boil the water a really nasty film develops on top of it...

Dell Dimension XPS T500: There went my computer monitor rolling down the steps!

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 04:41:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - This time last year, I was still using a Pentium 100 that I had built myself (with a lot of guidance from a friend who actually knew what he was doing)in 1996. I had completely outgrown this computer. I once thought that I would NEVER manage to fill up...

A true driving experience!

Sun, 17 Sep 2000 06:25:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I bought my first (but definitely not last) BMW about a year ago. It is a 1992 BMW 325i and, WOW, what a car! My interest in BMW began with a coworker's 1986 325. I saw his car in the parking lot at work for several months and just thought that it was...

I need a closer Arby's

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 02:50:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - I went through a time in my life a few years ago when I ate at Arby's three or four times a week. Why would anyone ever do that, you ask? Simple, it was easy. I lived alone, got home from work late every day, and didn't feel like cooking anything...

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 23:36:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - When my family and I drove from Mississippi to California this summer, we decided to take a short detour to see the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam.

A powerful message

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 01:55:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - This is the movie that made me a Kevin Costner fan. I hated Dances with Wolves. Waterworld was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I thought he wasn't man enough to play Wyatt Earp. In Message in a Bottle, though, Costner proved that he is a...

PACBELL DSL: There is a better choice

Sat, 2 Sep 2000 03:20:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tony_miller - In January I called PACBELL to ask some questions about their DSL service. It took several telephone calls and several hours waiting on hold before I even got to talk to a live person. Finally after a representative answered my call, I expected to have...
