jashoaf I can, but are we allowed to? I thought we couldn't write recipes on discussions.

You have been working for a boss, who is kind to you and but cannot give you more salary. You consider this boss a friend but only get $600 a month. Another compnay would like to offer $1000 to employ you. You are young, you have...

jashoaf I'm glad it worked out for you! I have been approached by companies who praise me highly and offer me the moon if I will just "come right now". It always makes me suspicious of them. If they have scruples, they would not be trying to lure people away like...

jashoaf "What can I do, I am who I am"? You are not going to like this response, but I hope you will read it. That same response was given by Ted Bundy and Son of Sam when asked why they committed murders. Countless thieves say it; so do liars and cheats. Ask any...

jashoaf No, and she probably won't be able to discuss anything to do with your gay partner for awhile - if ever. It's too bad you have to go through this, it's very sad. What I'm hearing, though, is that that is a lifestyle choice she is unable accept. It doesn't...

jashoaf It has, a couple of times. I had a pair of shorts that I discovered would not remain zipped. I didn't discover this until I was way too far from anywhere to anything about it! I check - and rezipped - about a hundred times that day, and threw them in the trash...

What if a man who is wearing a formal attire, looks rich, and decent approaches you and ask "Can I borrow your phone and make a long distance call abroad?" What would you do? Answer first in your mind and continue...

jashoaf You've got a point. I'd need the explanation though, and would be glad to send the text if the situation warranted. Once he got to the police or consulate they could assist him further in that regard. I have a son who is in prison. In this part of the...

jashoaf I'm glad; I can picture having the most awful dreams and being really bothered when I came back. I could also picture someone with a slight warp in the personality to start with, being adversely affected. Scary thoughts!

jashoaf I forgot to mention the first thing that came into my head - why would anyone need to make an emergency phone call abroad? That doesn't even make sense to me, and would raise my antennae if it happened. If they are in trouble, the country has police and...

Knowing that Helium is not counting any more of your articles toward this month (since they make their break at the 25th of each month), does that make you slack off? Or are you revved up for a new...

jashoaf Good for you! I don't think I could stick to it either. I write for a local community paper - that's the only dependable income source so they come first! But it's only part-time work, hence the internet writing. I also have other internet sources I write for....

jashoaf I said 4 per week, not per day - I couldn't do that either! [smile]. An article can take a few hours to a couple of days, depending on my knowledge of the subject, time available, and research materials. I'd guess I average 4-6 hours, since most of them take...

jashoaf I have about 80, I think. a few have been bought by marketplace, and I have 4 or 5 poems in for creative writing. I really enjoy it; I like researching, and choosing a title allows me to research stuff that interests me anyway. I have articles elsewhere I...

jashoaf I agree, gspice. When you get a letter in the mailbox you immediately smile and sit down to read it. There's something very nostalgic about that, like someone cared enough to take the time. Our culture is losing the value of slowing down a little and taking...
