When my girlfriend asks me why I love her I always tell her that I have no really reason for loving her because if I have then that's not loving. I just do love her. She don't like this answer because if she ask that question she...

Melissadawnowens I have to say I agree with your girlfriend: Women want to hear a REASON that you love us, and sometimes vice versa. It can be anything, your smile, your laugh, or in my case, my boyfriend always tells me that he loves me so much mostly because I " get" him, a...

My best friend actually goes thru her facebook friend list and cell phone address book and delete people she don't talk to any more. I think it's pointless because you added them to begin with or you may have wanted them on your...

Melissadawnowens I have 'cleaned up' my facebook multiple times. Of course all the people on my list are people that I have actually met at one point in my life...like kids I went to school with in 2nd grade, etc, but sometimes after adding people from your past you realize...

I'm a passionate writer who's also looking to make a little extra cash, as in this economy, it's proved pretty much impossible for me to get a normal job. So, I've turned to the internet. I write for both Helium and Associated...

I've heard a lot about Examiner, a paid-to-write site, but I have a few questions about it. Can you write whatever you feel like? Is it open to anyone who can provide a good writing sample? Is there an age limit? I hope some...

Melissadawnowens I have no experience with Examiner, your best bet would be to email them from their website.. =)

I enjoy writing articles on subjects that fire my imagination which apart from feeding my brain they also help me earn. But just to compile data surfing the net and getting paid for it is not my cup of tea! What kind of writing do...

6 responses

Melissadawnowens I write online articles but make little money, because I choose to write about things that I know about, and I don't want to spend a lot of time researching stuff that I'm clueless about! I'm a nurse so I prefer to write about medicine and diseases, which for...

antibiotics only work against bacterial infection?

6 responses

Melissadawnowens Yes, antibiotics are used to fight bacterial infections. If you have a viral infection, depending on it's severity, there are antiviral drugs out there too. Just remember that unneccesary use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.

Melissadawnowens So sorry to hear about your fight, relationships are difficult sometimes. Just remember NOONE should ever have to feel like they have to walk on eggshells to get along with their mate, it's wrong.
