Equinoxx @Equinoxx (187) • Ireland 4 Jan 10

I listen to internet radio almost everyday. I do listen to all genres but mostly 80s stuff. My favorite station is club977 on my spider player radio. I would like your opinions on which station is your favorite and the radio...

Off To The Grocery Store, Again....

UpsideDownPineapple @UpsideDownPineapple (643) • United States 4 Jan 10

Hi everyone, In my house we go fairly often. Everyone I ask tells me they go about once a week. That would be impossible for my household to do. We'd would nearly starve half way through that week. lol So, how frequently do...

mcrowl I can understand that. We used to have a small grocer's shop beside our house, and it was great for those small items that we'd forgotten. Unfortunately, it couldn't keep going.

Are there any Triond writers here? What do you think of this site?

alwayzzcitra @alwayzzcitra (1861) • Indonesia 29 Nov 09

I have to admit that I LOVE this site! I joined two weeks ago, submitted about seven articles there and I am eligible for payout! I know the minimum payout is low, but I think it's realistic, because with that, I think it is...

Damien Wilkins' new book: Somebody Loves Us All

mcrowl @mcrowl (1050) • New Zealand 26 Nov 09

I haven’t read any of Wilkins’ other five novels, so with this one I came fresh to his style and viewpoint. It took me some pages to feel at home, but gradually his distinctive and detailed approach won me over. This is a novel...

mcrowl No, this is definitely a (fiction) novel. And I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

president Obama

riskysim @riskysim (34) • United States 9 Nov 09

President Obama is one of the biggest racists i have ever seen. If a white man had acted the way he has, they would be all over the news, but when a black man insults a white police officer for doing his job, apparently he is...

mcrowl Sadly, as soon as someone disagress with you, you begin to insult them. This isn't the way to have a discussion, whether you're right or wrong. You know nothing about me except for a few lines that were written in reponse to your post. If you don't want to...

mcrowl It's not hard to find things to write about. What interests you most? There must be some things that are more important to you than others. Write about those. If you're really struggling to think of things to write, then I would suggest you're not really...

Christian quotations

mcrowl @mcrowl (1050) • New Zealand 30 Oct 09

I like keeping a record of interesting quotes, and before the Internet was the big thing, I used to do this in old notebooks. When I ran a Christian bookshop, I would spend some time each day writing out an extract from one of the...

mcrowl Thanks for these, Cloudwatcher. I haven't got them on my blog, although I know the Jim Elliot one from way back. I'll have to look on the Net and see if I can track down the source of the other.

Email Clutter

mcrowl @mcrowl (1050) • New Zealand 30 Oct 09

Does anyone else find it hard to keep track of their emails, whether at work or at home? I use Outlook at work, and put some stuff into folders, but even then there are still lots of emails that haven't got a 'home.' And to be...

mcrowl I agree....it's just getting around to doing it that so many people find a problem!

Do you know where New Zealand is?

tabatha1989 @tabatha1989 (314) • New Zealand 9 Aug 09

Many people think it is a part of Australia or Canada. Do you know where New Zealand is and what do you know about it, think about the people who live there?

mcrowl We're not even that small. The area of NZ is about the same as England, and it's got vastly more people than we have. When we go to the beach it's hardly ever crowded with other people.

mcrowl @mcrowl (1050) • New Zealand 27 Sep 09

I'm planning on producing an e-book related to my experiences late last year and early this year with prostate problems (not cancer, thank goodness). Does anyone have any good suggestions as to what might be a good site to look...

How Do You Get Motivated To Write An Article or eBook?

WebMann @WebMann (4731) • Canada 4 Sep 09

I have been online since 2001 and have written a lot of articles but every so often I seem to hit a brick wall with writers block. I would like to write an ebook but am not sure about it. How do you over-come writers block?

mcrowl So if a nice long walk does the trick, then you haven't got writer's block....you've got that much more common problem: writer's procrastination! Going for a walk is great, but not if it's at the expense of getting on and doing some writing. Writing ONLY...
