Heartbreaker08 @Heartbreaker08 (684) 14 Mar 09

There are many writing sites which just pay you for page views, or 50% revenue share, but which ones pay you upfront, and pay the most? I know Associated Content pays several dollars per article and Helium pays up to $2.50 an...

melosus Writing for content sites on the internet is a large chunk of my income. My biggest earner right now is Demand Studios ($15.00 per article), but they don't pay residuals. I LOVE residual income. :) I also write for Associated Content, Helium, eHow (which is...

I am now using a high-speed internet connection and I am so excited to see how fast I can work here. If you remember in my other posts, I have been complaining at how slow my internet connection is. Now that I am using a...

Does Child Support Equal Revenge?

MissHarpe012 @MissHarpe012 (7) • United States 15 Mar 09

Ok, so I've never told anyone this complete story but here goes. I am 35 weeks pregnant and very anxious. I was raped by the father of my child he said as punishment and from that a baby came. I have beat myself up so long about...

melosus I agree with the person who said to leave his name off the birth certificate. I'm divorced and I never went after child support from my ex-husband because I did not want him in my sons' lives for reasons I won't go into here. If I were you, I would just...

Why is Social Security not considered a Ponsy Scheme?

Troublegum @Troublegum (641) • United States 15 Mar 09

Ok in the wake of all the Bernie Madhoff scandal something hit me. Bernie got in trouble, because he was taking money of current investors and giving it as payout to past investors who are cashing out. So money invested was not...

melosus I believe you are incredibly right! The big difference is that social security is run by the government, and there's really not much we can do about it. Hopefully... HOPEFULLY... there will somehow be enough money left in the social security kitty to...

I wonder who invented Satan

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2024) • Canada 15 Mar 09

I wonder who invented Satan. Whoever did must have been a man of very high imagination. But whatever, Satan is an absolute necessity for the God of organized religion to exist. If Satan is erased , then the actions of the...

melosus As I understand it, early christianity borrowed the ideal of a negative force from many pagan religions such as Zoarastrianism of the time. These religious usually had a sort of yin yang concept of a dual god. One wasn't 'good' and one was 'evil,' they were...

Effective stress releiver... but costly??

SimpleBB @SimpleBB (1329) • Philippines 15 Mar 09

melosus I'm of the opinion that if you love to do something and it relieves stress for you, it is definitely a worthy hobby! I would love to be able to take decent photographs and do graphic manipulation as well. You bring up the concept that it is a costly hobby....

melosus I don't always take my ID (driver's license) with me when I go out. If I am going by myself or just with my kids I will, but that is because I would be driving. If someone else is driving, I don't really bother. Of course, if I intend to buy something where...

Christmas

mrsjumppuppy03 @mrsjumppuppy03 (3301) • United States 27 Sep 06

When do you start Christmas shopping? What is your biggest complaint to do with Christmas rituals?

melosus My biggest complaint this year is that I do not have enough money to get people what I would like to get them. I'm the poorest one in my family and it just feels ludicrous trying to buy something for my sisters who have everything they could possibly want...
