You never really lose an old friend.

Maxxx is my golden retriever mix. He's about seven years old. Because I am not really in very good physical shape, due to arthrosis and a few other ailments, I find it hard to care for him at times. He's very enthusiastic and not...

dcollins pets are amazing. Our dog Gracie was the best dog that my husband or I had ever owned in our lives. She was gentle, but had a good bark to scare away unwanted people as a dog should. She would never harm children and we always felt safe with her around our...

What online programs you earned most?

denzlangga @denzlangga (744) • Philippines 20 Aug 10

50% of my earnings came from Paid to post and the other 50% are scattered in GPT, PTC, HYIP and social sites. So far I am playing around $200/monthly and I am happy with that amount but I am still looking for programs that will...

dcollins This is indeed motivational! I am new to the Paid to post sites and I'm still learning. I would really appreciate some guidance and feedback from others on what has and has not worked out for them. Thanks

Would you consider SLEEP to be a Luxury?

incus99 @incus99 (1083) • Philippines 18 Aug 10

When I was younger .. I really hated to sleep, I often asked why humans really need to sleep. But as I grew up to be a physician and a businessman, I realized that a 6 hours sleep is already a luxury.. I seldom get enough rest,...

dcollins I love to sleep but I too seldom get enough rest. If I have a free day on the weekend, sometimes I will lay down and take a 1-2 hour nap. But then when I get up I usually still feel tired and then I feel like I have wasted the afternoon by sleeping. When I...

Do you get jealous?

aurorastorm @aurorastorm (1131) • United States 17 Aug 10

I know jealousy is not a good thing, but it still sometimes gets the best of me. I have a few friends that do not have to work, stay at home moms of kids that are in school full time. They are always going to the gym, Starbucks,...

dcollins Yes I feel that way a lot. I try to think about what I have that they do not - but often times I'm at a loss. I really don't understand it when these people seem to be making about the same amount as I am, yet can afford things that are not a necessity (like...

catalady @catalady (363) 17 Aug 10

If, heaven forbid, there was ever a fire in your house...what would be the one thing ( and you can only choose one! ) that you would dash back in to get out? I have had a huge dilemma with this but have decided that it would be...

dcollins Well this is assuming my children get out - they are my priority - but next I would grab our safe-box which contains some DVDs & CDs with photos, videos & data backed up, birth certificates, auto titles, and other important documents & papers.

Are Your Craft Gifts Always Appreciated? Or. . .

Aurone @Aurone (4755) • United States 16 Aug 10

do you sometimes get a response from the receiver which is less that positive? I know we are all crafting for Christmas and such and I just wondered if your gifts were always well received. I hate when I give a crafted gift (as it...

dcollins I do like to receive crafted gifts when they are made especially for me or in my taste. It would have to be someone who knows me rather well. I'm sure many people are gifted things that they personally would not have picked out for themselves and then they...

dcollins I think many people today are dependent upon technology, but I also feel it is a good thing to force oneself to take a tech-vacation every now and again. To actually read a physical book or have a real conversation with another human without a phone or...

dcollins you should talk to a counselor, trusted teacher or doctor right away. Medications are not always the answer and can lead to a lot more problems sometimes. Depression runs in my family back many generations. Some relatives tried medications and some were helped...

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 16 Aug 10

So, my daughter spent the weekend with my mom and my 15 yr old sister. I knew all along that my daughter would have a good time, even if they didn't do anything fun. It was a chance for my daughter to get out of the house, and...

dcollins I worry or at least think of my boys all the time. I was never like this before kids and now I'm only like it with my sons. I'm sure its just motherly instincts but I sure wish I could get over the empty sinking feeling I have when my children are not with...
