Or even if you've been fired, what did they say and how did it go? I heard that people try to fire employees on Fridays instead of Mondays because there's less chance of them making a scene. But I'm sure there are more important...

These are things that I read over the years about brushing your teeth (any dentist can feel free to dispute one if it's wrong): 1. If you have to choose between only one, it's more important to floss than brush. 2. You...

Last year I decided that I am not going to do any more surveys. I find them terribly irritating because I do get surveys asking me the same questions over and over again. The surveys take up half a day (I signed up to a number...

Danjoish "What about you? Do you enjoy doing surveys? If you do, do tell me why" That's about one question short of qualifying as a survey.

Danjoish Shot in the dark, I'd say it's about a small problem being bigger than you realized. Randomly fact that I recently heard and didn't check up on: Maine is the only state without any poisonous snakes.

I am a new author and my book has been out for about six months. I have been trying various local fairs and book signings. The book signing events have been my most profitable means for selling and promoting my book, but it's hard...

Danjoish I'm a kids' book author and I do about 5 readings/signings a month right now. I've had readings for close to 200 kids and sometimes just a handful, and it's been worth it every single time. The furthest I've traveled is from New York to Boston or DC. You can...

March 23. I'm sure anyone of you is awaiting for that date. Anyone who loves the book would surely love the movie adaptation as well. Since the first time I have read the Hunger Games Book1 I just can't help wanting for the...

Danjoish Just finished reading the books, and cannot wait. I had already seen the cast before reading the books so it tainted my ability to imagine the characters, but they're definitely good casts from what I can tell. Specifically looking forward to seeing Woody...

One of my best childhood friends (who drifted apart from me about 1 year ago) just got out of treatment, she was there for about 30 days I believe. I visited her only once in this time, I guess mainly just because I was freaking...

Danjoish Nah, you're not being insensitive. You're aware of what's going on with her, and you obviously care, but at the same time you're setting boundaries for your own sake and possibly hers. Easier said than done. Well done.

As a children's author my goals were always centered around traditional publication. But the publishing industry has had an interesting evolution over the past few years and is smack dab in the middle of a state of flux....

Danjoish And just because something is an advancement doesn't mean it's evil, to the same point. If something were to render electronics obsolete as you put it (such as an EMP) which wouldn't necessarily have the catastrophic effects that you mention, then it would...

Danjoish Interesting point. Part of the reason that I brought up the discussion is because there are no studies out currently that have evidence of ebooks adversely affecting a child's development (it's a new subject so it's not that surprising). Electronic ink, the...

Danjoish Just another example of advice that Baz Luhrmann's, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) covers: "Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; If you succeed in doing this, tell me how"

An ex-boyfriend from 8th grade is having a hard with his love life at home. I told him that I had moved a few months ago - three hours away from him. Suddenly, he thinks it's a good idea for him to not only move, but move close to...

Danjoish You described him as an ex-boyfriend from 8th grade, a status that does not mean much moving forward. It's fine to have empathy for him and wish him well, but if you're not interested (and it sounds like you aren't) then you need to set up some boundaries....
