DreamOn01 @DreamOn01 (146) • United States 12 Jun 08

I've heard about Demand Studios from a few writing groups I'm involved with. Some say they pay well, while others say the pay is too low. So if any one has any experience with them, please share. Was it positive or negative? Do...

tshamilton I don't know why anyone would think that they don't pay well. Its $15 per assignment depending on where you get hired to write for. The assignments are pretty easy too and they are usually 500 words or less. Last time I checked, $.03 a word MINIMUM is pretty...

tshamilton I just can't see how after Bush has ran things that we will elect someone who keep things going the exact same as they are. I do think that we will elect Obama and I'm very glad. I've read about his policies and things he wants to do and I am all for it. We...

tshamilton I felt just like that with my first son. He would nurse so much that it seemed like he was attached 24/7. It got to the point were I was so sore I cried everytime I had to feed him. After 3 weeks, I started supplementing with formula to give myself a break and...

tshamilton In order to be accepted into the Nursing program at our Community College you have to have some pre-requisite courses first. Usually English, Math, and Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. So my suggestion is to take one of those classes. Probably the Anatomy and...

How did children change your life?

kangel48446 @kangel48446 (507) • United States 3 Jun 08

When I first got pregnant with my daughter, my whole entire outlook on life had changed. It wasn't about me anymore, it was all about what I could do to better things for my child when she was born. We named her Destiny because...

tshamilton When I had my first son, I can't really say that my life changed a whole lot. I was never one for going out and partying even though I was still only 20 years old. I usually didn't do much for myself either. I was always about helping other people, because...

2 year old does not talk much, no 2 syllable words

shedevilgrrl88 @shedevilgrrl88 (38) • United States 2 Jun 08

My 2 year old son does not say many words. He started out babbling and talking at the normal young age. He said mama and dada and baba at a normal age, but never really progressed from there. He says less than 5 2 syllable words....

tshamilton You don't need to worry at all! Kids talk at all different ages. My nephew who was 2 months premature started talking in almost complete sentences at the age of two and my step-nephew who was born on time didn't actually say anything until the age of 3, and...

Have You Ever Ran Out of Gas In the Middle of Traffic?

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 26 May 08

I know people who have. I'm glad I have not done this. Considering the high gas prices its probably even more likely to happen now.

5 responses

tshamilton Haha! I actually have 3 times and cracks me up. I am notorious for trying to get as far as I possibly can without getting gas. I also like to know just how far my car will go when it is on "E". The first time, I actually had to signal to a police officer to...

tshamilton I think you should do what you are doing. The best way to repair a broken relationship is to rediscover why it is you fell in love in the first place. You might also try counceling, but some guys are totally not into that. Having a baby can be very stressful...

Do you use a "pen name" or alias, or prefer using your real name?

manaoagmemoirs @manaoagmemoirs (912) • Philippines 30 May 08

Some writers didn't like revealing their true name that they use a pen name (also called pseudonym or nom de plume) in their writings for various reasons. There are famous writers in history who became famous not with their real...

tshamilton I actually use a pen name that is only a pen name until I get married. I am engaged, so since I would like to be identified by my real name I use my fiance's last name so that I won't have to change it when we get married.

Life is full of trade-offs

inday312saylon @inday312saylon (747) • Philippines 31 May 08

Our needs and wants are insatiable. Sometimes the boundary between our wants and needs becomes so blurred you get confused already which one is which. More often, we give up one need in favor of what we want. It's really...

Do you bathe your baby daily with soap ?

SangsTurks @SangsTurks (1444) • India 31 May 08

The reason i ask this is beacause even baby soaps have a certain amount of toxic ingredients in it. And since babies have tender skin, they tend to absorb the chemicals much faster. So basicaly what we do is put in a lot of toxic...

tshamilton I actually saw on the Today show awhile back how you really don't even need to wash our babies as often as we think. For a newborn, one or two times a week is sufficient. For toddlers, three to four times is all that is needed, unless they get really dirty of...
