I finally joined Niume after encouragement from friends.  Started this year (2017). 

• No sooner than I got there people started complaining about the view counter being broken.
  
• Now I’ve gotten spam messages in my mailbox. 
• The Support people don’t respond, although I have had occasion to touch base with one or two moderators. 
• The owners have added a Donation button which does me no good.  Nobody donates!  🙂  (Not that I expect them to.  I don’t donate.  I’m trying to make money.  I can’t afford to donate until I earn.  (O.o) )
  

+ On the plus side I can republish some of my old blog posts and articles.  My bank says I’ve earned about $2.

• All I can say is if I can earn more for social sharing I’m screwed.  Not one of my posts has been shared.  Not one!!

Which I find odd.  (???)  Considering that some of the Niume folks have tweeted a few of my posts.  I’ve seen them on Twitter.  Why doesn’t that show up in the “Share” column?  (O.o)  Maybe if Niume shares they don’t count.  Also, if I share my own posts, that must not count either.  Because of course, I share my own posts.  But the Shares column shows ZERO!

• They say you can earn for referrals.  But how do I convince anybody to sign up?

Not sure how you define “touching” but if it means the movie really tugs at your heart strings, it’s a tear jerker and you cry your eyes out, and/or it moves you in such a way that you “feel” what the characters feel? Then yes! I love movies with a touching story.

In fact, that’s the reason my husband and I started watching foreign films. We tired of American films. They didn’t make us feel or even think. But there was a foreign film section in the video rental store and my husband started perusing the shelves. We really liked those movies. They got to us! Even though we had to read the English subtitles, when we were finished viewing the film it left us with “thoughts” and “emotions”. That means it touched us.

We started with European films and then when Indian films started showing up on the shelf, we began checking them out. If the movie is based on a true story? That’s even better! Now there’s the Internet and movie streaming and we can find lots of foreign films. It’s great!  🙂

Your comment reminded me that I had published a quick post about salsa music.  Here’s the link if you’re interested.

I think we can buy those in our grocery store in the International Foods aisle. I’m sure I’ve seen chutney on the shelf and I love szechwan food.  Looked up the recipes.  Others might interested.

I like Star Trek better.  Period!  I’m such a loyal fan I didn’t even give Star Wars a chance. MY mind was made up right from the start. That’s why I was surprised the question was even asked.  (O.o)  🙂 😀

My husband and I fell in love with the music video.  I just had to watch the movie.  So worth it! This movie will make you look forward to falling in love.

I love Annie Lennox. But this particular song is not hers. The original was done by another group. But I love her version.

I came home from work one day and my husband was playing music and this guy was singing. I had to find more songs where he was singing. Found this one. The man’s name is Thomas Otten. Perhaps his voice is what angels sound like.

It’s impossible for this song not to be on everybody’s favorites list. This movie had the best soundtrack of the millenium!!  Gladiator (2000)

Gladiator Theme • Now We Are Free • Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard

This song was included in the soundtrack for the movie about American boxing legend,  Muhammad Ali, which starred Will Smith. The gentleman who sings this song is a gifted albino with the most incredible voice! See my post here at LB: Children of the Moon.

If you enjoy the soothing sounds of African rhythms you’ll love listening to the music of this African legend,

It’s late. It’s Friday night and my husband has fallen asleep. But I’m not sleepy and have some time to kill. So I’ll share some of my favorite music videos like this one. It’s called: T.N.T. For The Brain.

Just joined another group here on Literacy Base.  It only has 8 members.  But it’s a topic I like.

“Uphold its value”. I like your wording much better! That’s what we should do for this site. Uphold its value!!  This site definitely has value.  🙂

Porn pics? Nope! Actually I don’t go through the images gallery much. It takes too long to search it. It’s easier to hunt down free images on the Internet.  🙂
