dcunni2990 Thank you, Sandra1952 for your nice response, your good advice and your offer to help me on Helium! I have read about embedding links but need to go back and actually 'learn' it so I can do it next time I write. I will look for the Helium discussions. Thank...

dcunni2990 I use the same one as I do on myLot. I still have yet to rate articles, with me being so busy with chores & errands, I haven't even had time to read the newspaper. But I will tomorrow, and start on my article too, for Thurs.

dcunni2990 Thank you for your congratulations. I don't think the client will reduce the quantity for me. What I need is more time to do jobs. So, I just recently checked the boxes for the hourly jobs not the fixed priced jobs in my search. The duration is as low as 1...

dcunni2990 They were offering between $5 to $10 per article. This is the only job I applied for this year. I'm hoping to do this full time. I revised my preferences to search for only hourly jobs, not for the fixed priced jobs. They usually are too quick for me to do....

dcunni2990 I had checked the box for "any payment method". So, recently, I checked just the hourly jobs so it would give me more time to write & not be in a rush. I will continue to just go after the hourly jobs, even if the duration may be as low as a month or less.

dcunni2990 Yes, I loved "Where the Wild Things Are" as a kid! I felt like I had the same imagination as Maurice Sendak & the boy in the story, when it came to the bedroom becoming "alive" with trees & animals. I imagined my own room becoming like a big circus tent while...

dcunni2990 The Constitution may be old but it's generally revelant. What's in question by republicans is the individual mandate. If you think the document's premise on health care is outdated, then most people would vote for people in their state's legislature to have a...

dcunni2990 I've got experience in writing professionally since 2 years ago, with Demand Studios & Suite 101. I got fired from the former & gave up on the latter because it's only revenue sharing, slow royalty-like paying based on Google clicks. It takes a long time for...
