Accuracy of the page views counter

ArsonCuff @ArsonCuff (3114) • United States 24 Aug 07

Just noting that after the last update on Associated Content I was scrolling through my list of articles and how many views each had received...oddly two of them in the middle were listed as 0 views...yet both have comments left...

sk1976 I think many people have had this problem this update. Personally, I have one article that I know was viewed at least twice (as two friends read it and discussed it with me) - but that article still says 0 PVs. I think perhaps they did the calculations,...

what would you give up to save someone? tv,phone, internet

Amy @artemis432 (7474) • Abernathy, Texas 15 Aug 07

What if somehow - giving up some technological toy would save your child, bestfriend, lover? What are you most attached to- your cell phone, computer, tv, xbox - could you give up what you're most attached to?

1 response

sk1976 I could easily give up all of the above - without question - to save someone I cared about. I would be truly shocked to hear someone say they couldn't give up their xbox to save their child. Shocked and disgusted.

sk1976 Ten dollars is a great offer - especially on your first article. Way to go! My highest offer from them so far has been 8.13 I believe. I am interested in reading your article. When it is published, you should post the link or the name of the article here...

Spotting and Pregnancy

Orrangge @Orrangge (165) • United States 6 Aug 07

Did anyone have spotting during the early months of their pregnancy? I heard if you are having a lesser version of your period, you could still be pregnant?

3 responses

sk1976 You cannot technically have a period when you are pregnant. However, it is very common to experience implantation bleeding - which generally occurs right around the time you would normally have had a period. There are other causes of bleeding during early...

sk1976 More severe early pregnancy symptoms (such as morning sickness) caused by higher hormone levels than moms carrying singles have. Measuring large for date - which is not the same thing as *looking* bigger, but is based on the size of your uterus compared to...

do you think cats should be kept away from pregnant women?

Tracylovesadrian @Tracylovesadrian (143) • China 16 Jun 07

In China, doctors will warn you about the diseases that cats may cause when you get pregnant? Is it really true? Cats and dogs are more popular in America. On TV I see pregnant women play with their pets all the time.

sk1976 Pregnant women can get a parasitic infection known as toxoplasmosis from contact with cat feces (and from other things as well, such as certain undercooked meats) This is why pregnant women are warned not to change cat litter. Thing is, most women that have...

sk1976 Do not ever get married simply because you think you "should" A marriage entered into under those circumstances is likely to fail anyway. Get married when the time is right for you - when you meet that perfect man for you and WANT to marry him. As for...

Will Carl Pavano be a bust?

sportsfan @sportsfan (37) • United States 24 Mar 07

What do you think? Will he pitch well this year, will he pitch poorly, or will he get injured and not pitch the whole season again? He is getting millions so he better be a 20-game winner but I am not too sure.
