picklepal I can understand the mother's concern about not spanking, the tolerance for that seems to vary greatly depending on what area of the country you live in. Pulling the cart over to the side, picking up child with a firm: Hitting Mommy is not allowed, we are...

picklepal I'm very new to MyLot also, and I'm still looking for friends. :) So far just my mom is my one and only on my list. I think the internet allows people to be more abrupt and rude because they don't see the reaction the person across from them has when the...

perrygunight @perrygunight (555) • United States 21 Feb 07

Has anyone gotten an offer from AC and decided to edit the article and resubmit it? What happens then? Are they likely to offer more or reject something after saying they'd accept it? What about the number of page views...

picklepal Hi, I write for AC also. I've had one article rejected that they requested I make a bit longer and resubmit. It's very easy to do. Just go in and edit the article and hit the submit button again. The only problem I had at the time was that they did not...

picklepal Great ideas on AC. I'm still somewhat new to AC, you can read my articles under Kris McLeod. (I'm hoping for page views!) I don't make a lot there, mostly because I don't invest a lot of time. I do enjoy it for venting. Think of it as blogging with...

picklepal I have had my main email address for over 10 years, and my business email address for 3 years. I prefer to keep a web-based email like Yahoo so I can easily change service providers and not have to deal with changing my emails.
