MyLot has the worst profile editor! I was shocked by how terrible it is. A profile editor should be self-explanatory and self-intuitive. I don't consider myself particularly dumb... it just took me a long time! I think it should...

thinkerm It seems very much like a social network. Adding interests and friends qualifies it as a social network.I think it needs to be more user friendly and then maybe more people can enjoy its benefits. I like making friends but it's so easy on MySpace and...

Giving the benefit of the doubt doesn't really help people in the end. It seems like the more I try to find the good in people, something comes back and slaps me in the face. You shouldn't judge people but we all do anyway. I...

thinkerm No person is a perfect person and we all interact with people differently. It's not fair not to give a person the benefit of the doubt, especially if you don't know them! Granted, don't share personal information with people you don't trust. Don't leave your...

thinkerm Over the years, the blame game has not worked! Abortion can't be blamed on anyone, even liberals! Come on, that's like me blaming my bad driving on my car or my shooting someone on my gun. Abortions happen because people have no morals. I am heart broken by...

thinkerm =) I've been promised that myLot is just in a slump! I sure hope so! I just joined recently and there aren't too many updates at all. Or interesting discussions-- those are far and few between. Let's get some interesting topics going!

I have a hard time finding discussions I want to respond to. What are some of the best categories to add to your interests. I'm thinking maybe the interests I have added don't have discussions that interest me in responding to. I...

thinkerm Yes, I agree it can be too slow. The more interesting are the ones about people, hobbies, and relationships. Money making is very dry and boring. Everyone just posts their dumb PTC sites. (Don't waste your time!) I enjoy the writing category and the ipod...

I have decided last night to go through all the sites I've signed up for and delete my account. I've never had the good luck of getting paid for the stuff I do, except on one site where I earned 31$ just for those 100% free sign...

thinkerm UUuggghh my too! I'm so sick of them!! Grrr. I have some built up anger with PTC. I was an innocent Internet user, lured in by promises of money! Endless clicking on the same few ads everyday... lame! Plus when I reached completion I never got paid. That...

Does anyone have any information or suggestions on how to become a travel writer? I am very interested in pursuing this as a career but do not know how to go about it. I am a published writer in many magazines and newspapers, so I...

thinkerm I have seen jobs like this posted on job sites. My favorites are Jobster and Yahoo Jobs. Search for writer, magazine writer or travel writer. That is an exciting career and I hope you make it!

thinkerm Yay! That's where I write too! I've really been enjoying the community. My writing has improved quite a bit too, which please me. I'm excited about the potential of Helium. It just seems to be growing and growing! Good luck to you there!

Write down my new year's resolutions - hopefully at the end of the year I will see myself a better person. Reading "Imitation of Christ" is giving me a new perspective about humility. Boasting, Ego. Self-control and saving money...

thinkerm The book "Imitation Of Christ" is fabulous! I loved it. I needed some extra help finishing it so I downloaded it in audio form. It's very peaceful to listen to. I found it here: http://www.proecclesia.com/page_free%20talks.htm (not my personal website)

thinkerm Definitely consider the context when using commands. Perhaps your friend was suggesting that your commands seem "commanding" because they are obvious or they seem to talk down to an adult. That's always something to be careful of. I'm sure you don't have to...

Most of my blogger friends have been listing their Christmas Wishlist on their blogs!:) So what's on your Christmas Wishlist?

1 response

thinkerm I've been wondering, did any of your friends get their gifts? I've been craving the new Amazon Kindle, but it's just not worth it right now because of how expensive all the books and stuff for it are. Did it work? Maybe I'll try it on my blogs for my birthday!...
