Sun, 4 Nov 2001 01:30:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vpenn - I can't even recall how I first came across the Expedia.com site. Whatever the reason it was fortunate for me that I found it. I have been able to make airline reservations for my wife and daughter and send their E tix via email to them with their...

Sun, 4 Nov 2001 01:06:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vpenn - When I took a part-time job in a town 45 miles away my wife and I decided that I should look for "a little truck to beat up and down the road." After a few weeks of searching I found a fair priced '91 S-10 with 150,000 miles on it. The whole idea was for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vpenn - The first time I went to ebay to look at a price for an autographed baseball I bid on a picture. Ever since then I have been hooked like a kid on sugar candy. At least three or four times a day I find myself cruising by to see what the auction action is...

A Good Football Movie

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 17:30:19 GMT

2. The football is not great, good for high school

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vpenn - I have used AOL for over 4 years and even at the height of the "can't get on-line" problem a couple years ago I didn't have that much trouble. I guess I was just signing on at the right time.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vpenn - When a friend recommended that I add the All Advantage bar to my screen and earn a few free dollars I couldn't believe that it was that easy. What do I have to buy? What else do I have to do? What is the catch?
