    kaylar wrote a new post, Writing Sites; Trying For the Balance 7 years, 8 months ago

    I was invited to join a writing site.  Unlike the crowd, I do my research first.  I have been on so many sites since 2007 that I am qualified to write this article.

    In ancient days a writing venue would pay for w […]

    • What sites according to you are trustful to write articles for?

      • As of this minute; this site, Mylot and possibly, Niume… although I was paid once from Niume I am not yet fully convinced

    • This is so true, I have tried many sites in the past some have been great some have been awful. I gave up on writing online for a while but am trying some new sites out now. This being one of them.

      • This site is pretty good. But let me warn you. if you write factual pieces the A.I. might flag you for plagiarism. For example, if you write; “Cyclone Debbie caused major damage, torrential rain and power cuts to tens of thousands of homes”. Your item will be flagged because that is how the BBC describes it.

    • Very well said, and it is true as we online writers had experienced. I am glad Literacybase and myLot are included in your list of trusted sites.

    • Thanks for the info. I am on two writing sites only and more active in LB. I guess it’s because I am new and yet to get paid. I have been off LB for days now, due to work. I have been so busy in the office lately, once I get home, I’m tired.

    • Tried many sites and many were fake, but still have faith

    • Have you ever enter short story writing comptions?
      like what writer digest has

      • I entered one at webooks which deteriorated into a zoo… because crapwriter got the most votes because he had duals and friends.

    • Sorry to hear about the situation in your country due to climate change and drought.They really affect a country badly. I saw one blog here having the people forced to drink boko juice instead of colas due to health factors.Thanks for sharing your nice blog.

    • I totally agree that we all must change our eating habits. Eating healthy is a sure way of staying alive. I’m about going for a health check to know my status, the last one done was in 2011. I was a clean state of health, I felt good. Over the years, I have now changed my eating habits, from drinking coke to water, eating junk to veggies etc. I pray to come out clean, I need to be alive for my kids. Although eating healthy seems kind of expensive, but I purchase what is affordable and follow that route.

    I think to be on the safe side, it is always better to request payment by 25th or 27th of the month.

    It will keep us from being frustrated and disappointment that may arise because our dates and timings are mixed up.

    Very true. when we near the end of a good book, we do feel a sense of sadness. I feel it every time I read teh Harry Potter series.

    suny wrote a new post, The funny and strange Indian marriage traditions 7 years, 8 months ago

    I think most of us have different traditions which sound strange to people living in a different environment. By the way have you ever heard the story of stolen shoes at an Indian wedding?

    Generally the Indian […]

    • That’s a funny tradition indeed. So, what if the groom is stingy and won’t give money in exchange for giving back his shoes?

      I have read and saw on TV Indian weddings and they are really lenghty cermonies and rituals, though very enjoyable to attend actually.

      And it seems it involves a lot of money, like the dowry? I think if one is poor, then can’t he marry a girl in a simple ceremony?

      Here if the couple would want to economize, they just get married civilly. At least they will only have the parents and godparents and closest family to feed after that for a celebration.

      Here too, getting married is also expensive now, if the bride wants a big wedding. So impractical.

      My hubby and I got married in a simple church rites. Only about 50 people including the entourage were present at the church and at the reception. But at least, after the wedding, we already have a refrigerator, sala set, cooking utensils and gadgets and TV.

      Hubby and I are both practical persons. 🙂

    Cashless is the new Mantra of modern world. At least we in India feel that cashless is going to be an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. I guess even the western world has not yet […]

    • I am good with cashless money , like using the debit card. At least with the debit card you are still cautious in using it, because if it doesn’t have a balance in there, you cannot use it.

      But not with a credit card, wherein you are given a purchasing power so big, that if you keep using it, you will be in deep water. It will have a big interest and would keep getting interest when you pay in installment or the lite scheme.

      Nowadays, here in the Philippines, people are already so much into debt because of the credit cards. Sad, that these people are now being harassed by the credit collectors of being sued for not paying the entire amount including the big interest, once they skip paying the monthly lite payment.

      Debit card , yes to me .

    • When I registered at BlogJob at the invitation of a friend online, it didn’t register me. Instead it gave me a notification that it cannot accept new members anymore. After about a month, I was told that it quit paying.

      But like you said, you have a blog there still. And i Suppose it still earns from exposure from viewers but not from BlogJob anymore.

      Someone said that it will be back soon into an earning site. I don’t think I am interested anymore though.

      • I don’t think the BlogJob that used to exist will ever come back. I’m not sure what the owners plan but I do hope they give us notice and not shut down without a warning.

    • I searched for that site when many online writers were talking about it, but I did not register. Please update us when it becomes lively again.

    • Thanks for this post. I will try it. I read that sesame oil is good to use too, so I have it and will try it on my face. It has a very nice nutty smell. I will also try coconut oil; the one extracted and cooked locally, not the one used for cooking or frying. Native therapists use it for massaging or healing people who got some dislocated joints. (maybe minor ones).

    • i am going to try it, i like it and that is so nice infromation to share it thanks again, though liked olive oil and tried it and work wonders for me but i did not try it with other things like mix this with that, olive with coconut or olive with caste, I guess it has to be done one day and try it, cleaning face and body also is really good for the health and keeping health for longer, have to accept that life will make us age, but still we can delay it maybe sometiems,life is making us aging and let us age in a beautiful way, i like to collect these info for future usage and trial also, but now i guess its the time to use one of it, i guess that will be the first since it is easier, just mix things together and apply and wait, good really

    Some of us leave no chance to learn something new or in other words we try to rectify our mistakes and try to do them in their right way. On the contrary there are some people which never learn or even try to make […]

    • Living in denial is the greatest injustice you will ever do to yourself. Many times we make mistakes but we will always look for someone to put the blame on. We do not want to accept that we have made a mistake and that we should seek for forgiveness, learn from the mistake and move on and do what is right. Instead we get into the blame game. It’s easier to blame others than accept our mistakes. In fact if anything when we accept our mistakes we are more at peace and we don’t feel like we are stuck or stagnant. It doesn’t mean that when you accept your mistake people will hate you or you will loose your friends forever. You may loose a few friends here and there but those are just the ones who are not close enough to you to accept your mistakes and forgive you, do not hold onto them, instead let them free and let them leave they would be doing you a favor, and one thing i I know is that they will not add any value to your life for that matter.
