What Do You Blog About?

Deborah L. Alten @gtargirl (5376) • United States 17 Jan 12

Every writer should blog and use it as part of your writing journey. Most publishers like to look at your blog and see what kind of following you have. Do you write? Do you have a blog? What do you blog about?

Idlewild I'm not an author, but a blogger. I'm also on Twitter a lot, and I see a lot of authors there who have used it effectively not just to promote their books but to interact with readers (and potential readers) and get feedback on their books, tour, etc. Two...

Idlewild I clicked on the link for your blog and got the same response as someone mentioned above... looks like you need to correct the link. When I copied & pasted the name of the blog, I got to the Tumblr. I use AdSense and Amazon.com on my blog; I don't know if...

Recognizing a Stroke...

Lhenni @Lhenni (1242) • Philippines 13 Jan 12

My niece told me news that my uncle had stoke days ago. My uncle's been in denial that time that he kept on saying: I'm okay but the truth was he's not. He's in the hospital now for some medical attention. He suffered a mild...

Idlewild That's good information to know. With a stroke (or heart attack, or other major conditions), getting fast medical attention can make all the difference. I know a woman who is in her 30s and had a stroke. Fortunately she survived and is OK mentally, although...

What has happened to Coachella?

dheppler89 @dheppler89 (55) • Canada 13 Jan 12

Coachella is one of the biggest music festivals that takes place today with 50+ "bands" playing for 3 days. Now your probably asking why is bands in quotation marks. The reason is because now there are just as many DJ's playing...

1 response

Idlewild I think Coachella has a great lineup this year. There are a number of names that I didn't recognize (as with any large festival), and maybe some of those are house/electronic music acts. But there are plenty of real bands that I like playing there. I'm...

When Do You Bring Water?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 15 Dec 09

Is there a mileage limit where you decide you need to bring water on a run? I hate carrying water. It gets annoying, I don't really get that thirsty anyway, and then it means I'll have to find a bathroom if I drink too much. I...

Idlewild Like you, I hate carrying water (or any unnecessary weight) with me when I run. I usually don't bring water at all. I don't do many runs longer than 6 miles or so, and find I don't need water for those unless it's really hot and humid. I *do* make sure I drink...

Has a computer ever made you so angry you are almost berserk?

Carl Halling @CarlHalling (3617) • United Kingdom 23 Aug 11

My computer crashed the other day, so I'm using an old one of my dad's, but it's so slow and inefficient, it's turning me quite literally rabid. How about you, has your computer ever sent you into paroxysms of pure demented rage?

Idlewild Yes! Especially with my old computer, which was slow and had a very slow Internet connection. These days I have a newer computer (a laptop) and a much faster Internet account, but my computer needs more memory, and sometimes it stalls out and runs very...

Drop in Number of Pageviews...

SydneyHazelton @SydneyHazelton (4586) • Singapore 5 Mar 11

I have noticed a significant drop in my pageviews in Triond. This is very sudden. In the month of February, my average number of pageviews per day is about 500, but from late February, my pageviews on average was ranging slightly...

Did you know The Situation is making $5 Million?

Cizzzz @Cizzzz (8) • United States 20 Sep 10

The Situation is making $5 million this year! Crazy! What do you guys think of this? I mean I thought he was making a lot because he gets paid to go to clubs and make appearances, but $5 million! Holy crap! .

Idlewild That's unreal. You can buy a lot of hair gel and laundry detergent with that kind of money. I think he's got a product that's coming out with his name on it, too... I can't remember whether it's a hair product or something else. He's definitely making the...

This Is Gross!

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 25 Aug 10

Burger King are going to introduce a burger in a pizza next month in New York. Have you seen the size of this thing? It's gross! Apparently, it's supposed to be shared but I bet you any money that some of the large creations WILL...

Idlewild Hmm, I guess Burger King hasn't read all the new stories in the last decade about the growing obesity epidemic! Or as someone else said, maybe they're trying to compete with KFC's new Double Down. You have to wonder who the target customer is for this kind...

Eating too much chicken

jonnifc @jonnifc (1017) • Philippines 12 Aug 10

Is it true that if you each chicken all the time, pretty soon you will have some parts of your skin that resembles chicken skin? You know, like goose pimples on your neck and arms. I don't believe this but my neighbor believes so...

Idlewild No, that's not true! The one food-related change I know of that *is* true is that if you eat a lot of carrots, your skin will eventually take on kind of a subtle orange color, because of all the beta carotene that you're consuming. (But your skin won't...

have you heard the songs of Lily allen?

czanwell_30 @czanwell_30 (717) • Philippines 11 Aug 10

Have you listened to Lily Allen's song? One of my favorite is a song titled "F.U. You". You can search it in you tube and try to listen to it. What is your impression on her as a singer? Do you think you can like her songs, too?

Idlewild I like her voice & her songs. And her style. Sometimes it's a little too confessional for my taste - talking about what party she went to or what guy she went to bed with - but it's different. It'll be curious to see how pregnancy and motherhood changes...

You like music right? but do you like musical?

ivygrey @ivygrey (550) • Philippines 6 Aug 10

Although all of us love music and all, but I know that not everyone would love a musical. I love both. Especially now that musical has been on TV series like GLEE so cool. But my brother who is a total music lover/artist doesn't...

Idlewild I love music; as for musicals, it depends on what the musical is. I like a lot of musicals, but some I don't care for depending on a lot of factors- the story, the singers, the quality of the singing, the staging, etc. A good musical can be great because...

Do you still get telemarketers calling up to 9:00pm in America?

unique16 @unique16 (1531) • United States 4 Aug 10

Have you notice if the telemarketers are not as pushy as they use too be. Do think the law that went into effect a few years back is helping that situation or is still getting worse? If you are getting calls who are they from...

Idlewild I signed up for the Do Not Call list when it was created a few years ago, and have gotten very few telemarketer calls since then. I'd recommend signing up for it if you haven't already, if you live in the U.s. Some calls still come through: calls from...

Lost fanatics..

RyanMcK @RyanMcK (3) • Ireland 3 Aug 10

Idlewild I like "Lost" a lot, but I'm not a fanatic. I don't have any memorabilia, but if I came across a cool poster or something I might buy it. Spending a lot of money for some rare item related to the show is definitely NOT something I'd do! I'll by the DVD set...

Do you think Lindsay Lohan needs to be in rehab?

BStuff @BStuff (495) • United States 2 Aug 10

Idlewild I think she has admitted in the past that she has had addiction problems. I hope that she believes that now, because if she denies it that will only make it harder to overcome the problem. Addictions are often hard to beat, taking many attempts - whether...

Idlewild I haven't heard of this concert before - it has new wave/alternative music, I assume? Wonder if some of the music sets are streamed live online, or are on YouTube or elsewhere to watch after they've happened.
