Clearing Friends off Friends List or PhoneBook. Is it necessary?

cbrow171 @cbrow171 (14) • United States 5 Jul 10

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...

Any tips?

SilverFerret @SilverFerret (83) • United States 1 Jul 10

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...

SilverFerret @SilverFerret (83) • United States 1 Jul 10

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

Writing articles

Always smiling @allknowing (138001) • India 1 Jul 10

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...

when is it appropriate to take an antibiotic?

valerie0009 @valerie0009 (48) • Philippines 30 Jun 10

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.
