lmurdock I was referred to MyLot by a friend who used the site for networking. I didn't really start participating right away. The fact that you can earn money is nice, but the amount earned is negligible relative to other online ventures. However, I have an opinion...

Who is Jesus Christ?

casnoking @casnoking (87) 11 Aug 10

Who do you say Jesus Christ is? I believe He is the son of the living God who was sent to earth to die for our sins. And now he holds the key to eternal life. So what do you believe in, please share your opinion....

lmurdock My belief in Jesus Christ is based on the Bible, which I believe is the Word of God - written through men inspired by the Spirit of God. The Bible demonstrates that Jesus is the only begotten of God - born of a virgin. He walked among men. 100% God and 100%...

My insurance rates went up!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 11 Aug 10

I understood why they increased last year because I had emergency surgery. My premium went from $160 to $190 but was still cheaper than anything else I could get. I got notice last month that it's now $219. I hear that almost...

lmurdock I feel your pain. Sorry to hear your insurance rates have gone up, but I fear you are correct. Prices are going to escalate when insurance is mandated, in addition to rising costs of healthcare. The biggest problem is people who don't have basic insurance and...

lmurdock I like to get outdoors and let God and nature wash away the stress. Like other treatments, sometimes it is temporary, but it can be so refreshing and relaxing to be outdoors. The vastness of being outside also helps take your mind of the smallness of your...

IBS Relieved by Apple!

lowlycook @lowlycook (265) • Philippines 7 Jun 10

I don't know how IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) sneaked into my tummy system but it's there. I tried various remedies, even doc-advised ones, to no avail. Then I heard about organic apple cider. The cleansing and healing effects...

lmurdock I have a friend with Crohn's, which is worse than IBS, but along the same lines. In any event, I know IBS is terrible to deal with. I'm so glad to hear that apple cider vinegar was a good cure for IBS. I hope it continues to work. I will mention your use of...

lmurdock You have a positive perspective in the end. That is admirable. People who have never dealt with depression or bipolar disorder can't understand how low the lows can be. When you have a chemical imbalance, a condition as real and as important as a heart...

lmurdock I just finished Jodi Picoult's book A Change of Heart. It is very different. It can be a good quick read, or you can contemplate some of the issues Picoult raises in the book. I also read The Secret Life of Bees over the past couple of days. Excellent...

What Is The Best Way To Explain To A Child Someone They Love Has Passed Away?

JuicyMentality @JuicyMentality (56) • United States 30 May 10

Becoming a mother matures you in alot of ways. It can even in some cases make you an overnight expert. I notice that when it comes to the subject of death some of my friends/family members struggle on how to explain this to their...

2 responses

lmurdock I agree with the previous posts. I think a child should be told as gently and as soon as possible, meaning the adult should be able to pull him or herself together somewhat. It is okay to share tears. Children, at a young age, are concrete thinkers. Even death...

Has anybody written a children's book?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 27 May 10

Have you written a children's book, if so did you get it published? Also do you need to do your own illustrations for the books, it is a topic I am interested in but I do worry about the illustrations.

lmurdock Writer's Market - a book listing literally thousands of publishers - tells you exactly what a publishing house is looking for. I think Writers Market can be accessed online, or you can go directly to publisher's websites. Most of the children's book...

lmurdock I love reading. This is a tough question. It is hard to determine my favorite book of all time. There are so many great books in so many different genres. For nostalgia, history, and southern fiction I like Huckleberry Finn - controversial, I know, but it...

Sites that give $1 a day

gfeef01 @gfeef01 (537) 17 May 10

I've found that most online activities will pay you up to about 50 cents a day but not many pay much more. I understand that many sites will (allegedly) pay more once you have a mass of referals and are a more trusted user or...

lmurdock Some of the online moneymaking sites you have talked about are new to me. I like My Lot, but admittedly am sporadic on here, but I like the format. If you have a niche, about which you can write coherently a 400 word (which is short) article. (No rewrites...

lmurdock I have a couple of different takes on sports drinks. My trainer has told me that unless you work out at a competitive level, such as the swim team participant listed below, or run extensively or sweat profusely, you probably do not need to replenish...

lmurdock I've put clear paper in the printer before and it worked out fine. I presume you are referring to transparencies - like we used to use in school. The stencils paper should also print, but you need to go into your printer settings and change the paper type. If...
