SandrainSpain @kevin1877uk We were on Beacon Park Road. I suspect your inlaws lived on Meredith, Onslow or Belair Road, or Beauchamp Crescent if they were that close to the park. Or of course, they could have been the Weston Park Road side.

In my Sandra in Spain life, I have made a lot of online friends, mainly writers. I've also met a few of them over the last few months, and I have to say every single meeting turned out even better than I hoped. I've also met a few...

SandrainSpain Wow, that's the ultimate meet up. I think you have to trust your gut feeling. I invited an online friend I had never met to stay with me. We had a great time, and she's moving to Spain next month.

Hello everyone! I recently heard about this website from a friend of mine who said that it was good, so I've decided to check it out. Before I start posting though, I was wondering if anyone has some tips for a newbie, like how...

SandrainSpain Actually, they do, if you can post quality discussions and responses. I work on Postloop, and until I got very busy with freelance stuff, I was earning around $80 a month. For the last week, I've been travelling, and so I haven't posted anything on Postloop,...

Just a heads up for everyone, it seems we had another rash of spamming in members' photos. Please check your photos for spam comments and remove the comments. I am unable to remove them so you will have to do it, sorry :(

SandrainSpain I love abusing trolls and spammers - it's one of the few things I look forward to every day. To make sure I abuse them effectively, I usually have a few large vodkas first. At least, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it - it's one of the better ones....

When I was young, I was very thin. Since going into my later years, I have gained 50 pounds. I am now fat. I am not good at losing weight. I have joined the Y but manage to not get there very often. I always find...

SandrainSpain Yes, Phil, the Mediterranean Diet is pretty much based around fruit, vegetables, lean protein such as poultry and fish and some meat. This site has some really good tips, and you can download a free cookbook: :...

SandrainSpain 14 comments in this box - 15 with this one. Now that's what I like to see! Mimo, it's not very often people get snarky when you drop in their boxes, so don't worry. I would imagine you've made a few new contacts in this discussion, and we've all got to know...

SandrainSpain Hello, Bounce. That's a good one. At least, writing an article under the influence is less dangerous than attepmpting a flight of stairs in the pursuit of love. We're in a garden apartment, so unless I fall up the small flight of steps on the way in -...

SandrainSpain Hello, Hatley. I love the multi-populated comment boxes as well - just like this one in fact, where everyone joins in. Incredibly, some people object to that, and they are quickly off my list of people to interact with. I was in one discussion where the person...

SandrainSpain Hello, Diana. As you say, we are a big, and (mostly) happy family here. Many of us have busy lives away from MyLot, so we want to spend our time here on good discussions, not talking to ourselves, which is what happens when the OP posts and goes.

SandrainSpain Hello, Canellita. No, I hadn't, because I only accept assignments with less than 24 hours to go. I like to pick up ones with no articles or just one, so that I've got a good channce of snagging the payment. I accepted it on Sunday morning, and got the email on...

SandrainSpain Minimum cashout is $25, and I cash out twice a month easily so yes, once you build up a good portfolio of articles, there are some good earning opportunities there. Take a look at the help pages, and hook up with me over there. There's a link to my Helium...

SandrainSpain 'You can't do it for him' - that's just what I say to others, Cynthia. Some friends and family members have criticised me for buying him drinks when he asks. I tell them, he's 78 and he knows what the drink does to him. If he asks me to buy him a bottle of...

SandrainSpain I usually doze off as well, but there must have been a part of my brain that knew what had to be done and got on with it. I didn't even have any typos in the article, either. All in all a good result, given the circumstances.
