I got my upfronts from Helium this morning. Together with the page views, I earned $50 for February. Now that may be small beer to many of you, but if I tell you I only earned about $150 in the last 2 years, you can see why I'm so...

jakill I write about all kinds of things. Most of my Helium articles are those which I have already sold at Constant Content for non-exclusive rights. Once that happens I look for a relevant Helium title and adapt them for it. The top three in my Helium portfolio are...

A couple of days ago, I was at the market with friends. On one of the stalls, the young Spanish stall holder was reaching something from a high rail for someone. He had to take down the price card, which was held in place with a...

I try to do this every day. I have two videos, both for exercises that are supposed to trim your tummy. I've had them both for about twenty years and used them off and on. The Rosmary Conley Flat Tummy Workout is the best because...

jakill Right Derek. I hope you manage to do that. Walking is great as you get the fresh air too. We walked the common and the length of our little beach this morning so I didn't exercise indoors.

jakill I think a brisk walk is always good exercise. I'll be substituting that some days now the weather is better and it's lighter in the mornings.

As you know, I write for Helium. While I was rating articles today, I came across this one, which really made me laugh out loud. I contacted the writer to say how much I enjoyed it, and lo and behold, it was one of our own MyLot...

The UK medical authorities have refused to allow all children to be immunised against chicken pox on the grounds of cost and the fear that it might induce shingles when the child is older. The real concern apparently is that they...

jakill That's certainly a good enough reason to promote the inoculation. Very glad to hear he did actually survive it.

What do you think of people who park their cars on gravel filled driveways and fail to keep masses of individual stones from the footpath and roadway alongside. These stones are not only unsightly and uncomfortable to walk on,...

jakill I hadn't actually thought of reporting it to the council. But it's probably a good idea. It may be just thoguhtlessness on the part of the home owner and a reminder about it from someone in authority might do the trick. It would only take a few moments each...

jakill hvedra is right, Reyk22, and it is the fact that they don't sweep the gravel back that I object to. But I can't help wonering what your special way of getting back at them would be.

jakill Right, Pat. I'll remeber to ask you all my legal questions. LOL. I doubt I will be suing anyone, but there does seem to be a culture of it around just now.

jakill You're probably right. I don't suppose I'd try it anyway. But I've heard of lots of people who do sue councils over fals on uneven pavements. And I know of one person who managed to buy a new house after she fell on a friend's property, and the friend said,...
