nancyrowina I've been a member of squidoo for years and just had one successful lens that just makes a few cents a month. I've got 7 lenses now some of them are quite new but even the ones that get quite a few visitors haven't earned anything yet. I can't work out why....

Do you think that the death of Bin Laden will end terrorism?

marguicha @marguicha (223764) • Chile 3 May 11

I don´t think so. Bin Laden was the head of one of the terrorist movements in the world. But there are others. And many of them are highly respected institutions that use the same methods Al Qaeda uses. I am against war, against...

nancyrowina No, I don't believe Al queda is an organization like the media are trying to tell us it is, they are isolated groups of people not led by one single leader. So Bin Ladens death won't really make much difference, if anything it will make things worse as they...

nancyrowina I quit smoking last July and have successfully given it up. I used the pill champix, they didn't want to give it to me as I get depression and it can cause it. But I did get it anyway and was OK for a few weeks but did get depressed in the end and had to stop...

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 16 Feb 11

In my home country they were considering making home abortion available. The pregnant lady would be able to take the abortion pill at home. She would be up to 9 weeks pregnant. In the end they came to the answer no. Sadly the...

nancyrowina I thought you already could get the abortion pill in this country, they show it on Eastenders. Maybe they were just trying to change how far along you can be and still use it? I don't think I would ever have an abortion personally unless the baby was going to...

oscar6 @oscar6 (1938) • United States 1 Oct 10

I was wondering if you guys had any tips on how to find a good pedometer. A pedometer is something that records the steps that you take in one day. What should I look for in one before I buy it? any comments are appreciated.

nancyrowina Hope I'm not to late to be of help but I recommend an "orion" one, I got mine on eBay it was cheap and does what you want it too. It doesn't have any other features like telling you how many calories you've burned or anything but it works. I've dropped it a...

Events in Tucson...Xfahctor finally speaks

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 15 Jan 11

Now that I have had a week to watch, examine and reflect, I felt it was time to put my thoughts down in words. No, this does not mean I have any interest in returning to politics, it is just that this was a monumentally important...

nancyrowina I had to read "To kill a mocking bird" when I was about the same age as your daughter, and the first few chapters are confusing as a lot happens, it's a book with a sub plot (the thing about Boo Radley) as well as a main plot. And I hate to tell you this but...

I actually took a walk this morning.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160952) • United States 25 Aug 10

Hubby leaves at 6:15 am and I went for a walk. It was kind of slow. I am so out of shape. Do you walk? Is it for pleasure or for fitness, or some of both? For me I would say it is some of both. I want to get fit, and I really...

nancyrowina I like to walk and don't have a car so I have to do it to get around really, I rely on public transport if I have to make a long journey. As you know from discussion I just got a pedometer and am trying to do 10000 steps a day which is harder than I thought it...

nancyrowina It's definitely worth it, you feel so much better after just a few weeks. I gave up about 8 months ago now and am glad I did. I have put on a bit of weight but I'll just have to exercise to get rid of that. I find it has worked with my circulation too, my...

Are postcards a thing of the past?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 2 Nov 10

nancyrowina That is really worrying if it's true, have you got a link to any news articles about the matter? I've just done a quick google search and it looks like the rumours about the paedophile ring are fake and the competition is real.
