Hey guys, I was just wondering what it took to get a writing star at Helium! I've written 47/48 articles for them, and quite a few of them are in good rankings. But I have 0 stars, and I'm not sure what else I have to do to get...

cowgirlheart At this point, I think you have to know the person who hands out the starts to receive them. I've been writing to Helium for awhile now, 26 articles and I rate "all the time". Even though from what my numbers say on my articles in my "About Me" pages that more...

Ok talking Christmas trees here. What is your preference? Some people like real trees. I do too. But I don't like all the clean up and the water. And I have seen so many that turn brown before Christmas. It is a real shame. So we...

cowgirlheart We've always had a real tree, but now that we're in a dryer climate, the tree just doesn't last at all. After a week the tree was so dry I was afraid to turn the lights on. This year we're talking about using a metal ornament tree instead of a real or fake...

I consider myself EMPLOYED, better yet, SELF employed. You don't have to work outside the house to be employed right? Work is work to me, as long as I'm getting paid in return for my efforts. I'm a work from home mom and NO, I'm...

cowgirlheart I'm self employed, but it's taken a long time to get my friends and family to understand that I actually work, and make money, from home. They would call me during the day and not give a second thought to interrupting my work schedule, saying things like "oh...

It's Christmas, and I'm wondering - will you put up a real tree or a fake one? We are considering an "ornament tree". It's a metal tree that has hooks where you can hang your ornaments. It's 7 feet tall and made of metal, and will...

cowgirlheart AH! The lights - they drive me crazy! I'm thinking of buying some of those "light organizers", which are really just large spools to roll the lights onto. I've gotten my christmas stuff down to six boxes, and I know I could get rid of more, but over the past...

Many houses on my block are already decorated and they are beautiful--but I just can't get the feeling that Christmas is near. It's way to early to decorate! Let's watch winter roll in and the last of the leaves fall first. My...

cowgirlheart I haven't started mine, but I'm looking forward to it. I plan to do it in stages, and I really should have started today while I had the time, but I got lost in other projects. We moved into this house last summer, and I didn't decorate much last year, still...

cowgirlheart I get up about the same time every day, but I also use an alarm clock. I'm up at either 5 am or 6 am, depending on the day (and how early we have to be at work, shifts change). We have animals so we can't sleep in, they need to be fed, let out, etc. But I am...

As of the past week or so I have set a goal sort of to try and earn 100 points here daily. I've done it a few times this month. It is not easy either let me tell you. No matter how hard one tries to avoid discussions that may get...

cowgirlheart I didn't know how the points were earned at all. 50 discussions a day? Sorry, I don't have that much time! And, I also didn't know that discussions were deleted - I find it wrong that if a discussion that you replied to and earned points (or pennies...) for...

cowgirlheart I get along ok, but have learned to keep my distance. Seems like when I let myself get involved, I end up getting burned by family politics that I either do not understand or find annoying.

cowgirlheart I don't know if actually sueing would be the answer, but I do believe that individuals need to held accountable. From the realtors and mortgage officers (loan officers) who put buyers into homes and loans they could not afford, to their brokers who over saw -...

cowgirlheart I highly recommend the book Skinny B----. It is an in your face tell you how it has to be, if you really want to be healthy. Truely, the only way to be really healthy and alive is to lead a vegan life style. And, get off your butt, away from the computer and...

cowgirlheart I'm mad! It's to confusing now, I liked it the way it was! Did they run out of story lines? Did they hire writers from the soap operas??? I hope it gets better, it's one of the only two shows I watch!

cowgirlheart Check out WeBook. It allows you to post chapters, short stories, poetry, etc. and get feed back from other writers/members. They have a publishing section, I just haven't checked it out. Look me up there, I'm cowgirlheart. I'd love to read your stuff!

you prefer hoodies? What do you grab on the way out of the door? Do you have a favorite that you always wear? Or do you mix them up? I like to wear sewaters and jackets and hoodies when the wind is bad.

cowgirlheart Love Sweater. Especially cashmere or angora. Blue, red, white or forest green. At one time I had a pink one, but pink is just not my color!
