Fun new ride, needs fast pass

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:08:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I was at Disneyland/California Adventure near the end of Sept. 2009. The last time I was there was in June of 2008 -- in fact, I was at California Adventure the day the Toy Story Midway Mania ride opened. That week in 08, the lines were unbelievable. I...

Quality cheap printer for basics

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:21:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I had an old dinosaur HP printer that was very slow and didn't print that well, so I bought this Canon Pixma ip2600 just to print simple things -- Postal/ebay labels, recipes, letters, etc. It was about $40 at the local electronics store. I have seen it...

Great value, simple, easy, only a few cons

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I bought this camera for my son (age 8) because he really enjoys photography and I wanted something inexpensive but decent for him to use. My friend has an L18 and his pictures turn out well for an inexpensive camera. My friend has especially good luck...

Nice car overall, not enough power, a bit boring

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:49:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I rented a 2009 Volvo S 80 3.2 while in Southern California for a week. Seven days of driving it in all types of scenarios. Total driving was over 500 miles. I didn't encounter any weather other than mild and sometimes hot. It had about 5k miles on the...

Nice poker book with real world info

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:28:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I play quite a bit of poker at casinos and in a local poker league. Like many poker hacks, I have dreams of maybe one day being a professional player. Not that I really want to give up my day job, but I can dream, right? After reading this book, I...

Decent movie, but not for the comedy

my son's favorite toy

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 04:37:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - My mom (grandma) bought this John Deere Gator for my 4 year-old son this summer, primarily to ride on her 17 acre farm. My sister's husband assembled it (so it could be a surprise, ready to ride for my son). He told me that it was pretty time consuming...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - We bought the GeoTrax Railroad (the main set) for our son who was three last Christmas (Dec. 2003). He is now four and it remains one of his favorite toys and he asked for and received many add-ons for Christmas this past month (Dec. 2004). He now has...

Good bang for the buck -- 1 year review

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 04:53:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I thought I would do a one year review on my Canon Powershot A70. I bought my camera a year ago this month and I haven't had any problems with it so far. According to the file numbers, I have shot over 3000 photos and movies with it. For the most...

good head unit for the money

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 02:00:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I have actually had my 9807 for about seven months now, but I have waited on reviewing it until I got a good feel for the head unit (HU). I have it in my Maxima, which I don't drive very much (less than 1500 miles the since last May). The reason I...

Best car(s) I've even owned

Wed, 9 Jul 2003 17:52:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I recently bought from my brother the second 1992 Maxima SE I have owned. The two are nearly identical, except for color. Both are SE 5-speed models with black leather interior. The first one I bought used and drove it from 60,000 miles to...

Mon, 26 May 2003 01:40:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I have been to the Rose Garden dozens of time for all kinds of events. Lots of Blazer games, a few hockey games, a concert in the round, a concert in the Theater of the Clouds configuration and a regular stage-on-one-end concert. I've sat in every level,...

fine unit, but does go through the batteries

Mon, 26 May 2003 01:00:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I was looking for a discman that was good for walking with and also played MP3s. I bought this particular player in February of 03 and my wife and I have been pretty happy with it. We share it and take turns watching our son at home when one of us wants...

easy to use, but hard to turn

Sun, 11 May 2003 23:22:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - We sold our jogging stroller because it seemed too big to bring into stores, malls and inside places. So, we sold the jogger and bought this Jeep Limited stroller thinking it would be similarly rugged (bigger tires) but much easier to turn inside these...

Sat, 21 Dec 2002 02:52:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I recently used a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT for a week and I really enjoyed driving it.

The instruments and front passenger area is very well laid out, it drives very well and it has plenty of space for a wide variety of things. The cupholders...

sweet movie with lots of fun

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 02:22:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - Monsters, Inc. was a well-made movie with a sweet storyline, fantastic animation and lots of good dialogue. My wife and I enjoyed it very much and our 2-year old stayed interested through much of it. He did get a bit scared a few times, but he is a...

more bang for your buck

Mon, 12 Aug 2002 11:22:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - Because my wife and I hike and walk a lot, we tried a big tire three wheel baby jogger. Our son hated it, so we tried a backpack. First we had a small, cheap Gerry one that held him until he was about 10 months old. When it came time to upgrade, we...

one of the better movies I've seen lately

Mon, 12 Aug 2002 11:10:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - "I am Sam" for me really showed that Sean Penn can act. I think he did an amazing job of playing a mentally challenged man facing the task of trying to raise a daughter that is quickly becoming more advanced than he is. I was very touched by the movie...

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area: Outdoor paradise

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 14:47:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - Since I live in the Gorge, it might be a little easier for me to explain the way it is laid out. Generally, you can find lots to do, just keep an eye on the weather. In the winter, when it rains in Portland, a lot of the time it's snowing or icy in the...

Action and comedy for the family

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - "A Knight's Tale" came recommended to me by my mother, of all people, who usually likes about 1 percent of the movies I do. But, my wife likes Heath Ledger, so I decided to rent it mostly for my wife.

As a whole, I really enjoyed the movie. I...

Fantastic Sports Documentary

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 12:34:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I saw this movie when it first came out, then I saw it again just recently. Both times I was fascinated by the characters and the story. The directors did a great job of making you feel like you know the two boys that the story follows.

good rig for a small family

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 13:16:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - We bought our 95 Pathfinder SE 4x4 used with 60,000 miles in Jan. of '01. We traded in our beloved 98 Tacoma 4x4 Extra Cab due to the fact that my wife and I had our first child.

I liked the Pathfinder better than most other import SUVs (I am...

It's the toyota camry of cell phones

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 12:44:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twotoys - I have had my 5190 for well over a year and I talk between 1,000 and 2,000 minutes per month, so the phone gets quite a bit of use. I am only on the second battery and the first one still works pretty good.

One of my favorite features on this...
