"Actor Sherman Helmsley aka Mr. Jefferson Dies"

Fornevermore @Fornevermore (168) • United States 24 Jul 12

At first I had no idea who he was until I read "Mr. Jefferson" and thought immediately of "Movin' On Up" and was actually very surprised. I thought he was much younger than that and I was also very shocked because I thought that...

tinagolden I hadn't heard about this yet. I'll have to go look it up now to see why he passed away, although I know he was up there in age. I know he had other roles but I think he'll always be best remembered for his George Jefferson character. We've lost a lot of stars...

tinagolden I am a member of PaidViewpoint. I don't generally do survey sites anymore but this one is so easy. Obviously, it is a different experience depending on where you live because the surveys I get almost daily are worth at least 10 cents. No wonder your friend hit...

What's the best way to make a cuppa coffee that you know ?

Mantohave @Mantohave (83) • Trinidad And Tobago 24 Jul 12

I like Folgers Classic Ground Roast and almost nothing else but it's not always available here in Trinidad so I need to know how to make a great cuppa when I cannot get my favorite brew. How do you do that ?

tinagolden I prefer Folgers as well, although my favorite is the Custom Roast. However, that brand is more expensive than others so I don't always pick it up. When I have to pick up a cheaper brand, I use this trick to make it taste like gourmet. Actually, I like it so...

Google doodles - Amelia Earhart

ajinleo @ajinleo (283) • India 24 Jul 12

Today is Amelia Earhart's 115th birthday. She was the first aviatrix to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean. Google celebrates her birthday by creating a doodle for her.

tinagolden I love the daily Google doodle. I click through often just to learn something new. It's rather like learning a new vocabulary word every day - did you ever do that when you were a kid? Continual learning is good exercise for the brain and has been proven...

Google Chrome has Spelling Check on MyLot

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 24 Jul 12

tinagolden I'm not sure why, but the only browser that myLot works in for me is IE. I've tried using Firefox and then Chrome, but the pictures don't show in either browser and the format is all messed up. I'm on a Vista machine so maybe that's interfering. Even with...

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 24 Jul 12

tinagolden I think most of us have the same problem. Out of all the people you introduce to a program, usually you end up with just a few that will actually put the effort in. That's just human nature, I suppose. The same thing happens in MLMs, direct sales and other...

Do you believe in karma?

yvierialc @yvierialc (40) • Philippines 23 Jul 12

Karma, in Buddhism and Hinduism, is regarded as a cosmic principle of being rewarded or punished either in this life or in the next life, for our actions or deeds. From what I have understood, karma is like "reaping what you sow"....

tinagolden I believe in karma, or reaping what you sow. The concepts are the same. I believe these are rooted in the basic laws of cause and effect. Every thing you do effects something in some way so whatever you do reflects back to you at some point. Treat people badly...

Mouse action - seeing or feeling!

petersum @petersum (4522) • United States 23 Jul 12

I'm facing a problem with my mouse just now. The cable is probably going to break soon if it hasn't already. Every so often, the mouse direction reverses - up becomes down, left becomes right, etc. I don't know how that...

tinagolden I don't think our brains our being reprogrammed. It's actually long been known that our brain automatically filters out extraneous distractions and will sometimes see what is meant, even with mistakes. You might try to uninstall and then re-install your...

tinagolden It only goes to show you that it's never too late to have a happy childhood. Too many adults leave play to children when we all can benefit from playing a little more. Talk about an awesome stress reliever!

Cheap idiot, I am so angry.

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5453) • Canada 22 Jul 12

At the moment, I'm trying to sell 131 cds and dvds, and I had a price set for the lot of them. The price I set worked out to $5 each for brand new cd's, $2.50 for used ones, and $2 per dvd. I could have gotten over $300 for all...

tinagolden If you've been trying to sell these for over a month and running into the same issues, perhaps it's time to consider that you may be expecting too much. Your price might be reasonable but not to a wholesaler because you're trying to sell retail pricing. If you...

tinagolden I had never heard of this site before but I'm going to sign up. Even if it doesn't pay much, being able to republish existing content and earn anything from it it is cool. I plan on taking all my old epinions, Helium and AssociatedContent work and posting it.

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 20 Jul 12
