surveygirl2003 @surveygirl2003 (169) • United States 14 Oct 07

Does anyone know of any natural pest control remedies? I went outside earlier this evening to check on my plants and found on pothos plant completely stripped of its leaves. I'm afraid the other plants will look the same very...

chrisken Try putting gravel around the base of the plant, if it is slugs or snails they do not like to go over gravel. You can buy greasebands as well which work quite well. To keep spiders away put conkers (horse chestnuts) in the corner of the room, pierce them with...

Does anyone use this survey site?

amaleigh73 @amaleigh73 (499) • United States 25 Jul 07

When I started looking at my options to make money online, I signed up for a whole bunch of survey sites. It got very tiring and half of the time I didn't qualify for the survey anyway. Or they wanted me to sign up for a service...

chrisken Like you I signed up for loads of survey sites and either they never paid up or just as I reached the point where I could cash out they stopped sending me surveys. I have 19 survey companies that I am not likely to get anything from. I think all they want is...

My sunsign is cancer. Cancerians are supposed to be quite sensitive. They believe people easily. And are day dreamers also. What is your sunsign? And what are its characteristics?

chrisken I'm not sure what a sunsign is, is that the sign you are in when you are born? If so I am also a Cancerian and I think like you I am quite sensitive, I'm very careful about who I am friends with and tend to avoid loud, noisy people who are great fun but a bit...

Is anyone willing to help a new earner out by joining a Pay-To-Click site?

oceaniawings_xo @oceaniawings_xo (98) • Canada 18 Jul 07

I just joined AdBux, and it sounds as though I could make a nice little income by simply referring a few people and clicking all the ads every day. The thing is, most of my irl friends think that these things are scams when we...

chrisken Good luck then, i joined about 2 months ago and get about 3 ads a day if I am lucky to click. Even with referrals I only have about 10 cents a day. At first there used to be lots of ads but not now.

chrisken It's a matter of personal choice but generally I think if you are prepared to pay a little more for a better brand product you get better quality. Some non-brand names can be okay but I usually spend more time reading the labels on them than I do on a known...

chrisken Definitely a pocket one, computers make you lazy, they are great to get things done quickly but if you don't have to think because the computer does all the work for you, your mind is not so alert. I always have a dictionary to hand wherever I am.

Night time snacking....

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 20 Jun 07

If you have a snack at night, do you try to eat it before a certain time? Like for me, if I'm gonna have a snack, I try to eat it before 8:30pm. I don't like to eat anything too late cause I feel it just goes right to my thighs...

chrisken I try not eat after 8.30pm as well, mainly because I won't sleep if I do. Sometimes it's difficult if I know I have something really yummy in the fridge. I try to convince myself of every reason I can as to why I should eat it now rather than tomorrow.

Do you believe in psychic powers?

TinaCL @TinaCL (429) • United States 2 Jun 07

chrisken Try sedum, it grows very quickly and acts as ground cover. You don't have to do much to keep it looking good, and is very easy to grow. Useful for filling in spaces or adding a touch of colour to boring areas.
