pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 13 May 07

This is definitely going to date me, since when I was a kid, color TV didn't exist...it was still black and white! Thinking back the shows that I remember watching were...gasp...and don't laugh at some of them...okay? The...

What are your views on MySpace and other networking sites?

mzamilla @mzamilla (43) • United States 16 May 07

There are so many websites out there that can link you to friends: MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, Tagged, etc. What do you think about them? Do you believe the social networking craze will die down? Or will there be more sites for...

JansCoolJunction7 I'm somewhat new at MySpace, and haven't joined any others yet. It's been helpful for me as part of a writing group from Helium, where we read and give feedback to each others articles, as a way that people can improve their articles, earn a little more from...

Do you fancy your boss ?

Ephylyos @Ephylyos (154) 14 May 07

That is an interesting question I think, I do not fancy mine, even if he is cute, but, I can understand some people do fancy their boss. If so, will you be ready to go a step further from a promotion or other privileges ?

JansCoolJunction7 I did think one of my last bosses was good looking from the first day I saw him. But he was also married, as well as being my Boss. Practicality said it wouldn't be a good idea to go any further then for me to just enjoy looking at him. I don't think he...

JansCoolJunction7 No you can't see who read your articles, or who rated them. With reading articles, if you email to your friends they may come back and tell you they read your articles. The rating is supposed to be anonymous, both from the writer - no personal info included in...

JansCoolJunction7 Active means your published article is Active. The other things you may not have seen near your articles, since you're new are "deleted". Periodically Helium deletes some of the articles. I've recently had 3 deleted. In one case they deleted everyone in...

Feelings very hurt right now....

dopey22girl @dopey22girl (3319) • United States 13 May 07

Ok...so right now I am very upset. Let me tell you why: For Mother's Day I got my mom a book called Thank you for everything. And it has 100 pages of "Thank you For..." and then it would say something, such as: always being there...

JansCoolJunction7 I'm wondering if maybe you're Dad was teasing you with possibly a straight face and you took it badly? Or if maybe that was his own indirect way of admiting that he hadn't done as many things for you that you would be thankful for as your mom has? It sounds to...

My ego is taking a beating!

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 10 Apr 07

I always thought of myself as a fairly good writer until I started writing for a web site called Helium. On this site your writing is ranked against that of other writers on the same subject, by people reading and comparing your...

JansCoolJunction7 The rating process at Helium is so subjective. It's basically one readers viewpoint of the two articles on the same topic. That Reader could be effected by their mood, perspective, personal opinion of that topic. Two articles both written well but writing from...

JansCoolJunction7 I think a spell check on MyLot would be a great idea. I don't have too much problem with my spelling, more typo errors. I think some of the spelling errors may come from people struggling with the English language. At first I tried previewing my responses...

JansCoolJunction7 I worked Temp a lot of years, so I understand what you're talking about. First I think you should reread your contract/agreement or anything you put your signature on with the Temp Agency. They are still your employer right now. It might even be in real...

JansCoolJunction7 I think it depends on what you mean by negative traits, and what kind of negative traits, since we all have those, and none of us are perfect. If the partner is controlling for example, that might not be a good trait as a caregiver, since that might be do...
