Hello, it's me again with yet another sticky situation. We get along so great except for his kid and our inability to agree on anything concerning his kid and also as far as he loves to waste money foolishly while we don't have...

wesderby Hmmm...In that case, sounds like he needs to step up and spend more quality time with hit son before he has any right to complain about you running the haircut by his ex. Hopefully, he'll get over it and see that you did the right thing.

How many times a day do we all hear this question? How many times do we all ask it? It seems that "How are you" or some form of it has become a common form of greeting in our society. The problem is this. Of the thousands...

wesderby Nah...You probably wouldn't like him. You may have heard of him, actually...Tom Leykis. I used to listen when I was in college, but got tired of his shtick pretty fast...Very Chauvanistic kind of guy.

wesderby I'm not sure how long the article was, word-wise...It was three or four pages of content for them though. The title is "Confessions of a Satellite Radio Junkie" if you want to search for it. I've submitted four more articles, just waiting for their...

Okay, I'e noticed some folks here have music playing when I've clicked on their profiles. I notice most of it comes from a site called song2play.com, so I signed up, thinking it'd be cool to have one of my favorite songs play...

wesderby Yeah...I've tried a few songs with no luck. In fact, your profile was where I first heard of the site (loved the Thousand Foot Crutch song you were using at the time). I'll have to check out the site you mentioned above. :)

wesderby Not once it's been submitted and accepted...I belive short stories and poetry were two of the things I saw in the FAQ that they DON'T pay for, but I could be wrong on that.

wesderby No deposit yet; I just logged in and saw/accepted the offer about half an hour ago. Luckily, I set my Paypal account to be auto-confirmed, so I'm told that speeds up the process. I'm hoping to see something by next week. The good news is, I have other...

Well, as everyone has probably seen or heard on ESPN, Art Schell is no longer the coach of the Raiders. Obviously, it was a disappointing season; worse than the last couple with Norv Turner running things. The team has decent...

wesderby I think Moss will be a Raider next season, though I don't know how much production they'll get out of him...Apparently, from what John Clayton was saying on ESPN Radio Saturday, his first conversation with Lane Kiffin didn't go so well. Apparently, Kiffin...

I've seen a site called Associated Content mentioned by several members here at Mylot. I'm curious; can anyone write for them as long as you live in the US? Do they have certain types of content they're looking for? Do they...

wesderby Yes...From what I understand, you have to be a US resident, at least to get paid for your articles...Not sure if they'll take unpaid submissions from outside the US; you might check the FAQ at their site, associatedcontent.com.

wesderby Great insights...I think you're right on on all your points, though I'm hoping the Cardinals will prove you wrong. (Yeah, I lived in Phoenix for several years and sort of became a Cardinals fan as a kid...). I don't usually put much stock in sportswriters,...

wesderby wow; that's probably the most intelligent, well-thought-out response I've seen to this discussion. Kudos on all points. As I said in my post, I have my doubts about whether or not going in to Iraq was right...But as you said, we didn't see the intelligence...
