Do you save your pennies?

oneidmnster @oneidmnster (1384) • United States 1 Feb 12

I constantly see people leaving pennies on the tables in our breakroom. I grab them before anyone can. Do you save your change? My wife and I once took a vacation with the change we collected except for our motel room.

AnythngArt My sister teases me because I am always picking them up off the ground. Hey, money is money. I love the idea that you were able to use your change toward travel, my favorite indulgence! I usually try to spend with whole dollars and save my change, which...

AnythngArt I have often wondered this about people I meet online. I think I present myself and my views exactly as I am, but I think it's always that way when you meet the person after you have a connection. You form an idea in your mind of what the other person will be...

Do you use Triond? are you happy with it?

ircurts @ircurts (112) • United States 4 Aug 11

A couple days ago I was reading some discussion here and saw a mention about Triond. Triond is a site where you can submit content and they will publish it on sites they own or control (I think). My first concern is that if I...

AnythngArt I will be curious to see what people have to say about this site. It's one of those sites that I always intend to write for, but never do. I have only written one article (a book review) for them, and then abandoned the site for others that I normally write...

AnythngArt I am glad that you started this discussion. I had joined Triond a long time ago, but never wrote anything for them. I usually write for Associated Content or Helium. However, I am looking around for a new site to write to, and this gives me an idea of how...

AnythngArt There's a popular saying among writers, "write what you know." However, this is not always the case. Some people have vivid imaginations. Just look at all the mytery writers, science fiction writers, and people who write stories about vampires, as just a few...

Can someone read two or more books at once?

albto_568 @albto_568 (1268) • Costa Rica 28 Mar 11

I love reading, every evening, once I have finished my daily tasks, I sit in my room and read, an hour at least, althought time is not a barrier, once I sit to read, time just vanishes, but a close friend told me that she likes to...

AnythngArt I love to read, too, but there is no way I can read more than one book at a time. If I pick up a second book while I am reading the first, I will never finish the first book. I think you are right. While it is quite possible for people to read two books at...

How many films you watch per week?

velentina @velentina (891) • Mauritius 15 Jul 10

I like to watch film. Whenever I am free I prefer to read a book or watch a film. I watch 2 or 3 films in a week. When I am on holiday I watch one film everyday. My son downloads all the new movies from the net and save in...

AnythngArt Usually I see one to two movies a week. However, I have been known to watch three movies in a row from time to time, either at the movie theater or at home on DVD. I love the movies, but don't always have the time to spend watching them. I read a lot of books,...

Writers with 10 million page views

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 8 Jul 10

Yesterday while researching for an article on 10 million page views, I came across one writer in Associated content with more than ten million page views. Many others are just a few thousand page views short of the ten million...

AnythngArt I am not surprised that someone writing about sports or celebrities can get those page views. I have seen it over on Gather since the new writing program started. I am one of the slowest writers on Gather, and last month I got 15,000 page views on 20 articles....

Best page view earnings ever

SandrainSpain @Sandra1952 (6047) • Spain 6 Jul 10

Yesterday, I wrote an article to an empty title on how Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) affects weight loss. I expected it to earn the usual few cents a day that most of my diet and fitness articles earn, but when I logged on to Helium...

I spent a lot of time on Gather this past week.

mommaj @mommaj (23112) • United States 3 Jul 10

If you are looking to make money I seriously suggest you try something else. I didn't even make a dollar for all my efforts. I made 36 points. That's right. 36 Points. You need 619 points just to make $10. I was trying to see...

Helium Upfront Payment

oXAquaXo @oXAquaXo (607) • United States 1 Jul 10

Alright, I have a question for all of you Helium users. So with the new system, you have to have at least one writing star before you can start getting the upfront payments. I just got my first writing star today. Does that mean...

AnythngArt With Helium, it is whatever you have done at the end of the month. So, if you keep your star on July 31, it will be everything written that month. It will not count last month, and if you lose your star, it will not count this month. However, if you get...

AnythngArt Actually on Gather, people expect you to 'return the favor' when they comment on your stuff. It's almost rude if you don't...far from being a stalker! All page views are good!

I want to write articles on there. I see most people just do articles for posting and I don't know why, but I feel funny doing that. I guess I see the site as a social forum and not as a place to read articles and comment. That is...

Shouldn't I have gotten at least one point for that. I did not receive any points for any of it, yet. How long does it take to reflect points? Does it happen automatically or do you have to wait 24 hours? I didn't see anything to...

Bellapop @Bellapop (1279) 26 Jun 10

I was just flicking through some films that I have, The Illusionist is one that I haven't seen yet, is it any good? I've played it and for the first five minutes it looks very boring? Has anyone seen this and is it a good film?

England and Spain in the final? I can dream, can't I?

SandrainSpain @Sandra1952 (6047) • Spain 26 Jun 10

I'm English and I live in Spain. I'm also an optimist and a bit of a dreamer, so what I'd love to see is a Spain - England World Cup final. It was great here last night - as soon as the final whistle blew, there were fireworks...
