As some of you know on here my situation does not seem to be getting any better. So I signed up on this website call gofundme.com. Wrote honestly about the financial crisis I am in. Decided to tweet it out tonight. Then I...

ksmusselman P.S. A great resource for jump starting a decent blog or website that you can add AdSense ads to is with free PLR articles. Just do a Google for "free PLR articles" and start grabbing up some free articles that you know something about, doing a rewrite on them...

ksmusselman Yeah, as if things aren't bad enough, my car's in the shop with a snapped timing belt requiring $400+ worth of work to get it back on the road. Replacing a cell phone would be a lot cheaper for me right now. LOL

I have had a lot of stress in my life the past year or so and now I have been more sick the past two years than I have ever been. I have been to so many doctors for stomach issues and extreme headaches, they can't find anything...

ksmusselman I hear you on that and I'm right with you. That's one of my biggest stresses right now too and it's not easy to deal with, especially in today's economy. Just keep looking for things you know how to do that people will pay you do and it might start bringing in...

Have you ever been to the vet and they told you your dog needed to lose weight. My dog is a little bit overweight and I just need to get some ideas besides just exercise, which she gets enough, to help my dog lose weight. Any...

ksmusselman Give your dog one can of green beans daily in place of half of his regular food. We did this with our dog and she lost and has maintained a healthy weight ever since. The vet said very good! She's a very healthy doggy! (PS: Here's a video of her from last...

I am really new with making money online. I understand how tags work on blog sites. Can anyone tell me why it is important to use tags here on My Lot? What do I not understand about how Tags work?

tags

ksmusselman Ditto what the other two said. Think of tags here as the same as any other tags in any other forums or even simply as the "meta tags" a/k/a keywords, that you would add to a website. They're very helpful!

ksmusselman Yes, stress can literally be a KILLER, so whatever your stresses are, try to alleviate them as much as possible. Sometimes going on an anti-anxiety med will help with some of the stress too, as well as exercise and eating right. Stress can lead to stroke,...

ksmusselman When you think about it, if you want responses to anything, use Facebook. If you want more friends on Facebook, have your Facebook wall automatically "tweet" for you and people can then find you on Facebook. Spice up your Twitter background/wall paper a...

ksmusselman I am right in the middle of this myself and you are so correct. It is embarrassing and you just want to keep it a secret, which is very hard to do. I've only told two people who are very close to me and my husband informed his son also. We're on social...
