How much

$herryericha @sherryericha (1806) • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 28 Feb 16

Kim Kardashian was paid $1million (or more) for the photo of her derriere. How much do you think you could make for such exposure? No pun intended. Not that it is ever, ever going to happen, but I think I would be paid between...

Do you plant a vegetable garden?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119610) • United States 28 Feb 16

Well, do you? If so, what do you plant? I plant one each year. I have two 10 x 10 raised beds that I plant. I'm a total amateur so some things do well and some things not so much. Every year I plant cucumbers, yellow squash,...

When Writing Murder Mysteries....

patgalca @patgalca (18366) • Orangeville, Ontario 21 Feb 16

I am reading another book by my writing group friend. This is her sixth book with another coming out soon. I commented earlier on one of her books that I read and that there were a lot of errors. I think that one book was a one...

Stephen L. Thompson I don't read much murder mystery. The last one was Murder on the Orient Express, which I think took a couple of chapters before the murder. Of course, from the title you knew there would be a murder.

Bella @Bella128 (2471) • United States 21 Feb 16

The end of the month is near and I'm getting close to cashing out. I haven't cashed out yet on here but the thought of being able to soon excites me. Will you be able to cash out this month? Have you cashed out on here before?

Boingboing @boiboing (13153) • Northampton, England 21 Feb 16

You can tell that spring is coming - or that the half-term holidays arrived. Last week I was working out of our Amsterdam office for a couple of days. I had to change hotels because my favourite was full and this photo shows the...

Stephen L. Thompson It could be either. I'd like to take a cruise someday, but I don't think I could handle the people or the structured "frivolity."

Do you follow blindly or think things through first?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Feb 16

If this sounds like a heavy question don't worry. It's just an easy way to lead into a little story. A young lady I know liked roast lamb. Before placing it in the baking dish, she would cut through the meat a few inches from the...

Stephen L. Thompson I don't know if I'll be able to get anything because I don't have the App, I doubt I'll have any referrals, and I'm not buying anything. I think that just about blocks even the 5 point ones. But maybe I'll get lucky.

Stephen L. Thompson I have a lot of ideas, problem is a lot of them suck. They also like to gum up the works. My advice for dealing with writer's block is to take a day or two off - no more - and hopefully everything will jostle back into place. If that doesn't...

Stephen L. Thompson I've written a lot of flash fiction and often times my stories seemed almost like a joke. In the sense there was the set up, and then the punchline. That seems to work for very short pieces, of a few hundred words, but the idea should work for longer...

Growing vegetables in high rise apartment is very challenging

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 12 Feb 16

Stephen L. Thompson In my last apartment, I had a balcony that got a little bit of sun. I tried growing all sorts of things, but most often they didn't work that well. I got some leaf lettuce and onions, but I think that was about it.
