rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yanqui - In a previous review I mentioned that I have tried several sample sites this summer, but I forgot to mention this site in that review. I guess I forgot this site because I do not like to remember negative experiences.

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 20:54:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yanqui - Although this is one of the "oldest" magazines around, it is still very much a contemporary publication, in my opinion. I currently subscribe to several " women's" magazines, and have enjoyed Ladies Home Journal for many years. It has...

Keep your Eye on a "few" good shows

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 21:17:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yanqui - I have to rate the network in general as "recommended". I decided that I do recommend some shows on CBS, but out of many hours of CBS programming, I only watch 2-3 hours per week.

Obviously, CBS is not the network I watch the most,...

The real test is.....

Purina Lamb and Rice is the O.N.E.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yanqui - Boy, this game is either trying to show us that it is impossible for us to become millionaires or that we are possibly not as smart as the television contestants on the real show. I found the questions were much harder than those on the television...
