Each day I add one discussion question. I get two or three cents, I think. What are some better ways to make more by just doing something small each morning?

brucemcclendon Well, you must be right. Your response got as many responses as my original post! I'll try that a while. I'll respond to twice as many of these discussions as I start. Thanks.

I'm looking at a piece on the Today show about divorced parents suing for custody because the other parent neglects the nutrition of the child... fast food, junk food, etc... the kid is way overweight. Should children be taken...

brucemcclendon But pizza is a vegetable. I grow them in my garden on the pizza bush. It takes the same amount of cultivation as the other veggies. It helps to cover the ground around the young plants with newspaper. That eliminates the need for weeding. As the young pizza...

brucemcclendon The divorce factor. That does make parents look for problems that otherwise would not be mentioned. I wonder how much of this issue is a product of divorce processes.

Do you have any tips for extending battery life on a laptop? I found a good way to do it that works pretty well. I swapped the background picture on my opening screen to a plain black background. Before that I had a picture of a...

brucemcclendon That's a new one on me, too. That explains (I guess) why my Dell laptop battery burned out after a year. I always kept it plugged in. Thanks

I am a big believer in working at a job that you love. Otherwise just quit. The problem is that what you love to do may not pay very well. There are many ideas for making extra money, but one of the most effective ways is to...

brucemcclendon I feel pretty stuck in the system, too. Yet I am reading a lot on how to reduce that. My grandmother used to tell me that in order to get to that point of self-sufficiency it would take a lot of hard work all day. She should know. She raised her children...

nytol and unisom are too different compounds. Are they effective? valerian and melatonin have been recommended by a native american friend. What about them? And tryptophan. I don't even know if that is sold as a product. It's...

brucemcclendon Thanks. That's pretty good advice. I could walk to work. It's only a mile or less to the office. And I think you are right that no activity during the day is part of the problem. We just sit and type and ride and do the couch potato thing. Again. Thanks

I was at WalMart the other day and they are selling a nice laptop with a 15" screen, dual core cpu, and the standard trimmings -- nothing fancy... regular price is $250. All I do on a computer is surf the net, watch ESPN 3, catch...

brucemcclendon Now that I've read these comments, I realize that the way I go about it is to read all the comments on Amazon.com and buy one that is reliable. It's like when I buy a car. I always buy one that's been on the market for three or four years and I read industry...

Developmental psychology is the field that does research in stuff that most would find a bit boring, like the effect of liver enzymes on behavior. But here's some stats that you may find interesting. Baby boys are born with one or...

brucemcclendon The heat is more stressful on newborns. Babies are bundled up and warm in the winter and they aren't taken out in cold and adverse conditions. Summer heat affects babies more because -- while you can bundle up a baby from cold you can't carry an air...

OK, this is not for everyone, I know, but I couldn't find a "hunting" category and this is as close as I could get. Forgive me if this offends anyone. I am a hunter and I eat whatever I kill. When I kill and clean a squirrel it...
