eHow delete almost everything I got!!!

jeiay41 @jeiay41 (674) • United States 8 Oct 09

This is really frustrating and i want to release this negative vibes of mine. Not long time ago, i joined this eHow site hoping to make money and practice my writing skills. At first it was a really hard task for me because i'm...

unusualsuspect I can understand how frustrating that is for you, but to be honest, sites like eHow aren't for practicing your writing. They're paying for quality and judging by this post, you're not ready to provide that quality. They should have a better system so that...

The first thing you did when you joined Live Journal.

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 7 Oct 09

Hello, fellow MyLotters! I just re-joined Live Journal last night after a long hiatus away, so this question popped into my mind. When you joined LJ, what was the first thing you did? Did you answer one of the Writer's Block...

unusualsuspect It's been so long since i joined that I don't remember the first thing I did. But finding a community to join and picking a theme were probably the first things. There weren't as many features when I joined, like the Writer's Block, and I don't really have any...

Where do you rent your movies from?

pudgles @pudgles (414) • United States 28 Sep 09

Do you rent your videos off your ON Demand, Redbox, netflix or your neighborhood video store? What do you think is actually the better deal? I prefer to use Redbox, its just one dollar and you get 24 hours to watch it and the best...

unusualsuspect I rent all my movies from Netflix and have been for about three or four years. Even if there was a Redbox near me, I wouldn't use because they wouldn't have what I want. Netflix has over 70,000 movies, and depending how long I keep a movie, it costs me betwee...

Do you like to write about people, ideas, or nature?

AnythngArt @AnythngArt (3302) • United States 28 Sep 09

What general categories are you drawn to? People and the things they do? Ideas and philosophy? Nature and the world around us? What does that say about your personality?

unusualsuspect I'm much more interested in ideas than facts. I do write about people's behavior, but as part of general behavior patterns, not as individuals. Mostly I write to work out my own ideas and explain complex topics that people want to know more about. I don't...

Best movies

Jso1020 @Jso1020 (44) • Canada 28 Sep 09

I personally don't watch movies a lot, but I am watching one this week. What movie is the best for me to watch?

favourites

movies

unusualsuspect I wonder how you expect people to make suggestions of the best movie for you to watch when they don't know anything about what kinds of movies you like. All you'll get is what *they* like.

What movies are for?

Boboy2 @Boboy2 (62) • Philippines 28 Sep 09

Most of us think that movies are for entertainment. They serve as stimulants for our dormant feelings. They are areas of our personal sublimation. We sublimate our angst and problems in life by spending so much time watching...

unusualsuspect I don't think amateur psychologizing about movies is going to go over too well on Mylot. But good luck with it, anyway.

Are Garage sales worth it?

Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 27 Sep 09

I have had garage sales and not made much money. It seems as though you buy a bunch of things and sell things that you own for not even what you paid for it. You don't even make half of what you spent on the item you bought back....

unusualsuspect If you take the attitude that you're being ripped of when you sell something for much less than you paid for it, then no, garage sales aren't worth it. So, what will you do with all those items you don't want or need any more? You can give them to a charity if...

I love money! Do you?

anweshadas @anweshadas (372) • India 28 Sep 09

I love money! is actually a book, and a very nice book so I am posting it under the tag of books. But apart from it generally as well how many of us don't mind saying openly that we love money! And we believe that money can buy...

unusualsuspect Everybody *doesn"t* love money, and personally, when I hear someone say that they do, I wonder what's missing in their life. Money is a tool. It's useful, it can be a pain when you don't have enough of it to live a decent life, but it's not something to love....

unusualsuspect It's very easy to push people's hot buttons without intending to, and even easier for people to mouth off, based on what they *think* you said. I've had that happen to me lots of times, and I've learned to just ignore it. If you were talking about a syndrome...

unusualsuspect Cats are natural carnivores, so if you're forcing it to eat only vegetarian foods, you're shortening its life and preparing it for some real suffering in the future. A vegetarian diet can't provide some of the vital nutrients that cats need. Without them, they...

Have you tried using Entrecard to drive traffic to your blog?

berryliciousme @berryliciousme (1003) • Philippines 26 Sep 09

For newbie bloggers, I think one of the most effective means to promote your blog free is by joining a blogging network called Entrecard. You can use the credits you earn to advertise on other blogs. You can earn credits by...

unusualsuspect You're right. Entrecard can be an excellent way to drive traffic to a blog. I used it when I was blogging on today.com, and it helped a lot. Unfortunately, it didn't help enough to suit today.com, which weeded out a lot of comparatively new blogs that they...

Texbroker Waiting List

unusualsuspect I don't write for Textbroker, but I've heard that the waiting time can vary a lot.It depends on how many applicants are ahead of you, and whether Textbroker actually needs more writers at the moment. If you're in a hurry to start writing and making money, you...

Personalized vitamins!

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 24 Sep 09

unusualsuspect That's a ripoff and just an expensive way to get your vitamins. A blood test can't tell what vitamins you actually need or how much, because everybody's needs are different. And I'm pretty sure I remember reading that blood tests don't show all vitamins or...

unusualsuspect My main browser is Omniweb. It's for Mac only, and the thing I like best about it is that I can change the colors and fonts on a page or an entire website and lock them in. A lot of people use colors that are hard on my eyes or have such low contrast or small...
