Does anyone here have any tips on dealing with restless legs during pregnancy? I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and lucky to get two hours a day because of my legs. My OB says there is nothing I can take or do - and I am the...

sk1976 38 weeks now and sleeping at most 2 hours a day. I actually look forward to the sleep I will get *after* the baby comes - when it is usually the other way around. I am being induced this coming Friday - counting down the days now...

I have been writing for AC for about 4 months, and until very recently have not ever had an article declined for upfront payment. For the last two weeks, 2/3 of the articles I have submitted have come back with notes to delete or...

sk1976 My last few offers have been decent again - but after all the rejections I got there for a while, I have been very hesitant to write anything much. I think I have published like 3 articles in the last 3 weeks. Too worried about wasting my time writing only to...

Where are all the myLot Yankees fans? I expected to see much more chatter on the best team out there - especially now that New York is gaining on the Red Sux. Wake up Yanks fans!

sk1976 I certainly hope they win it! I think they will make the playoffs - cannot be certain they will win the division though. Although, it is looking better every day!

sk1976 Well, I took three (so far) of the articles AC asked me to resub for nopay - made minor changes to them and submitted them to Constant Content. Two of the three have been accepted so far (the other is still under review) and I already sold one! I think I...

sk1976 That is the thing that boggles my brain though - the articles they have declined are *at least* as focused as the ones that have previously given me decent offers on. My keyword density is fine. I dunno :0 It makes me hesitant now to submit much. I had...

sk1976 Your paranoia comment is funny, because I have been wondering if when they sent that first "submit for nopay" request - and I did - if that isn't why they keep sending me tons of those now. Perhaps if I would have just deleted the article, I would not be...

So how long do you think Torre has until they pull the plug on him? I am a life long fan and still like Torre, but I just cannot see Steinbrenner keeping him around. My guess is if things don't turn around by late July he is...

sk1976 I agree. I think it is more likely he will choose to step down than it is that he will be forced to leave. I have always been a huge Torre fan - but he has made me scratch my head and yell at the television more times this season than I would like.

Can anyone out there give me any suggestions as to how to stop my boys from constantly fighting with each other? They are 10 months apart, 9 and 10 years old, and literally fight nearly nonstop - over everything, regardless of how...

sk1976 They do share a room now, although this hasn't always been the case. The problem with my two is that they can (and often do) fight over *nothing* They look at each other wrong, and it starts a fight. One talks too much, the other becomes annoyed, and it...

I overheard a parent talking yesterday. She was saying that she had to get a lot of money together because her kids got great grades. Seems she pays the children 20 dollars for each 'A,' 10 dollars for each 'B,' and 5 dollars for...

sk1976 My overall feelings on this are mixed - but specifically regarding your reply... A financial incentive for making good grades is no different from getting a paycheck, or a raise at work, for a good job performance. It is the way the world works - whether...

sk1976 They can reject your article if they feel it isn't good enough - but unlike sites such as ConstantContent (which I also write for) - most articles are approved. I have yet to have an article turned down, but I do know from reading the forums there that some...

sk1976 Thanks for the response. I did spend quite a bit time looking around this site for answers last night, and now have more questions than when I started. I suppose I will just go with the flow - post and reply when it suits me to do so, and if I make a little...
