MGarcia lol - I've actually seen sites that do much worse. They really piss me off after I've gone through the trouble of registering. I actually wonder what's wrong with the freakers that actually advertise those sites for referrals! haha Some of my favorites are...

I know that they make lots of bags and all to help us keep our things coordinated. However, I am more interested in what you have found around the house to make your crochet projects easier. I was on the look out for something...

The glucose tolerance test we all love. With my daughter I had to take the 1 hour and 3 hour test. I was given the orange flavored sugar solution both times, which I call a "flat sunkist". With this pregnancy I failed the 1...

MGarcia Yeah, I know what you mean! People talk about it like it's the worst possible thing you'll ever be made to drink. That isn't true at all.. it's just way too sweet.

I came across netwinner a few weeks ago and play it in the background some days while doing other things on the internet. I decided to get on and play a few clicks this morning. I was thinking now that they are doing the 2x early...

After I wrote about 10 articles on Helium, I waited for some money to come in. A couple of weeks went by and not even a penny came in. I went to the Community Board with my plight. There, I learned, writers should "drive people to...

I get really bored staying at home all the time. I mean, there is a lot to do with the house and taking care of my child, but it just gets draining staying at home all day. I love being able to be there for my son and watch him...

MGarcia Yep, I've been there too! Through out most of the past year actually. I think knowing you don't have a way to go even if you had somewhere to go makes it a million times worse!

MGarcia I thought it would be a hard to answer question. I only recently found out, and had submitted an article I did on Helium just to see what the site was about. When it was accepted for payment I got pretty excited. I submitted a few more only recently so they...

Hi knitters! Recently the Hancock Fabrics store here closed down. Every thing was 75 - 90% off the lowest ticketed price. Before the sale I had very few knitting needles, I would only buy a set when I started a new project that...

MGarcia I understand what you mean. I only started to knit a few months ago. I had been crocheting since a young age and was ready for something new to do. I didn't even bother using a book because they can be so confusing and you can't get the full idea out of...

MGarcia I started knitting a few months ago myself. It can be a bit more challenging at times but it doesn't get as boring as crocheting can at times. Although you can do a lot of the same type of projects by crocheting, knitting adds a certain quality look to it that...

MGarcia http://jackpot.netwinner.com/?signupCode=DMGarcia Sorry about the link not working. Pogo games can be fun and addictive as well. I had a membership for a year and let it go. I felt the need to earn every badge whether I liked the game or not. Which just...

MGarcia I used to do nothing but simple stitches because when I would read other patterns it would sound kind of hard. I finally decided I was bored with it and wanted to challenge myself. They have videos to show you step by step stitches that you aren't so confident...
