alindahaw If you are really serious about freelancing online, you may want to check out sites like Content Current, The Content Authority, ecopywriters, Skyword and Demand Studio. These sites pay well and they always have a lot of work.

As it was a holiday and weather was good, me and my husband went to the lake. We enjoyed a lot there, it was great. Without spending money we enjoyed our holiday. I sometime wonder why some people spend a lot of money to have fun,...

alindahaw We all can have fun even if we do not have much money. There are several ways to enjoy life and not all of them involve spending. Playing with my little boys and chasing them all over the house is fun. :)

On belly blatting in adult relationships

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85136) • Shingle Springs, California 7 Sep 10

The on-his-way-to-being-ex-spouse is a belly blatter. He thinks it's being cute, it's being fun, whatever. For years, the belly blatt thing has annoyed me, probably because he keeps pushing in a "fun" way when I say NO. A friend...

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 6 Sep 10

alindahaw I don't think that burning the Koran is a good idea. Doing so will only make matters worst. An act of hate will almost always generate hatred.

alindahaw Blogging is a tough job and breaking into the market is never easy. Statistic shows that only 5% of bloggers earn enough money from their blogs. However, the good news is that those who earn money from their blogs earn well.

alindahaw There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money. You need to eat and pay the bills and if you do not have the money to do so, you could end up in a lot of trouble. However, we should not be slaves to money and we should learn to enjoy life even if we do not...

romartinez03 @romartinez03 (94) • Philippines 12 Jul 10

alindahaw I love reading books and compared to movies, books are a bit more interesting for me. Yes, the movies have all the special effects and stuff but books awaken the imagination and you can actually get into the story.

alindahaw I think that it is the parent's responsibility to prepare for their retirement. We have to understand that the kids also have their own lives and when they have children of their own to take care of, things can get really financially tight for everyone. My...
