I logged into Facebook a few minutes ago and I am seeing all sorts of pictures posted of kids at school in their Halloween costumes. When I was growing up we got to do the costume thing at school and when we were living in the...

tinkerick Yup, we have to do store bought now as well. Apparently food allergies are becoming extremely common and store bought is the only way they can know all the ingredients in the treat.

Every year my children get their photo taken with Santa. My son just turned 3 on 12/10. And we never really had an issue. This year the kids went to the Breakfast w/ Santa event at the elementary school and had the photo taken. He...

Have you ever noticed certain people just try to get you to argue? No matter what you say they have a sarcastic non realistic remark to try to get a reaction out of you? I have notice this on mylot as well as in life. These people...

tinkerick So true! "Debating" and "Arguing" are two totally different things and being a jerk does not make for a nice discussion.

Over here, education is not free. It is never free, even for kindergarten or elementary schools. The government subsidies basic education, up to high school. After that, the polytechnics and colleges have the freedom to set the...

tinkerick I couldn't have said it better myself. Indeed, it is a poorly setup system if illegals are receiving the aid that is being paid for by the taxes of legal citizens. As part of the lower middle class, I have applied for assistance at times and it irks me that I...

tinkerick Well not every dream that we remember is a premonition. If you have a lot of deja vu, I think you probably have had a few premonition dreams and not realized it. It took me many years to realize that a lot of my deja vu (not the day to day stuff but those rare...

tinkerick I don't know exactly what happened with AC paying/not paying international writers but I know many of my friends there said they were going to leave too because of it, but then never did. I think they have tweaked the policy so that international contributors...

tinkerick Oh...and as far as the original question, I firmly believe that earning a few cents here and there is still worth the time. It isn't like I'm spending hours on writing an article to earn under a dollar. Plus, once published, the article continues to earn...

tinkerick Ah I see! Thank you! I am not sure if I am going to continue with Triond or not. It seems like a lot of work right now to get 1 or 2 views a week. With other sites I average 20-60 views a day. I am seriously considering publishing exclusively to that site and...

tinkerick Hi scheng1, I agree that doctors should not personalize the statistic and say "you" only have so much amount of time left, however, we cannot generalize and say all patients will feel better being given the statistics. Yes, many will look at the positive...

tinkerick I completely understand. What I don't get is where they go after they've addressed all those initial questions. Especially people who write on the same topic for years. There's only so much updated information every year, what can they possibly scrounge up for...

tinkerick I agree. Now if only I had that much to say! I still am confounded by those who DO post several articles a day. How do they find material to write about?

tinkerick Yea that's what happened to me too. You actually see the line where I scratched and the rash spread. I did go to my doctor and she prescribed a steroid pill. That helped immensely.

tinkerick I had a feeling you'd say that! So, my next suggestion, is to write what you DO have in mind already. Skip over the transition and just put down the next scene that you have envisioned. Keep doing this until eventually it will just hit you [i](out of the...
