    I only say it because support mentioned that even if articles are just around 300 words they could earn more than 15 cents. The only time I earned more than 15 cents was when I posted longer posts which is quite rare.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Activity is Our Main Companion 8 years ago

    There was a time I just did not like boring activities but looking around seniors who are in a situation where they cannot work I have begun to like them and look forward to the day with a spring in my step. It […]

    • I really agree with you. When i have nothing to do then that is the moments i truly miss people around me. Beings active usually distracts me and happiness come out of activities which you love.

    • Getting to like what we do is the secret of happiness and I have learnt it now.

    • Activity truly i is our main companion. When we tend to be less busy, we will would like to have something doing especially if we find it difficult to sleep. Like my father always does. If he comes back from work and has nothing to do, he tend to do something like preparing leaves that would be used for preparing meal. When you ask him why he’s doing it, he will tell you that he has to be busy with something.
      Activity is our main companion in the sense that whenever we are bored at home or, we tend to do something. I also have an anty that works from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays when she stays at home, she would like to water all her flowers and also cut them to her best of her knowledge. She will tell you she needs to keep herself busy hence boredom will kill her. Same applies to me, whenever I have nothing to do and I don’t feel like reading, I pick up my book and start writing anything that enters my head. If I get tired of writing, I may go outside to discuss that is if someone is out but if there’s none, I will find something doing like calculating something and thinking about the future and calculating how much in my bank and how much people are owing me. This to an extent cure my boredom

      • The main thing is that we must enjoy what we are doing. I have started to enjoy those routine chores that I would get bored doing them.

    • Yes man ‘s whole life is the chain of different activities since birth to cradle. Work be irksome or useful but full of activities regardless of its advantages and disadvantages.

      Actually, when somebody have time a lot he or she thinks what to to in extra time is a problem of everyone if some one is without day and night schedule.

      Creative activity is the best companion of man on earth beaus creative activity links the writer’s link with the readers and peoples in the real sense.

      To pass time a big problem. To pass time always choose creative and positive activity that be useful for the society and future generation.

      Or play any game in extra time because it makes our health sound and makes every part of our body active and sound. Therefore it is said that a sound mind rests in a sound body.

      My activity in extra time is to improvise sonnets, odes and song I think these are my best companions in my lone and is the main source of my heart and mind and spirit pleasure.

    After a pretty long stint in the Metro – a place where the adjective ‘crowded’ precedes everything that one finds there – shops,  banks,  roads,  churches,  markets,  post offices,  trains – living here in a semi […]

    • That works as long as the seniors can afford to hire help to do the things I used to do for my mother. We lived in separate homes not far from each other, but there came a time when she needed my help even to find the right help I could not provide for her. We lived in the city when young and in the suburbs later when we had children. Then we moved to a rural area. Now we are in a small city again because our rural home just wasn’t functional as we became more disabled. We still aren’t sure what we will do if we can’t manage here on our own, since we don’t have children to do what we did for our parents.

      • That a day will come when things change is what one should be aware of and plan for that day. Having said that even if one gets a few years of joy is good enough I think compared to what life would be sticking to city life.

    It was a struggle as usual. I only put in 300 words which means my posts do not get good ratings. I sometimes wonder why. I was assured if the posts had quality even 300 worded posts could fetch more. That they are quality posts I get to know from the comments I receive.

    Here at LiteracyBase  we are encouraged to write long Blogs and I see they are even rated high.

    While I was at school precis’  writing was given a lot of importance in that we were told rather than re […]

    • You say right but the world of blogs is beautiful and hard because the rates of the posts are different that is why bloggers take time make money of the blogs but the rate of post if very high than comments and topic writing.

      When you post on the blog it takes two or three days to check the post through plagiarism software. It takes long time to check while the software checks anything anon. They late I do not understand the cause of lateness.

      It demands patience to earn money but Literacy Base is the best more than other sites because you can write here as you like and earn as you wish.

      • There is no denying that LB is a trusted site. What I want to say is that neither the site, nor google nor advertisers have tried to under the mind of the viewer. No viewer would want to linger on a site that is too long They just skip it.

    • Yes. we may be correct. But we have to think from the angle of the site owners also.

      If the site has to get more Advertisement they have to prefer long and lengthy blogs . At the same time to encourage and instill interest among the readers they should see the content also. Without content writing a blog is not useful.

      At the same time without a lengthy blog the site will not get ads. So a balance has to be maintained between the two.

      Here lies the skill of writers in presenting their blog with unique content and decorating it with good phrases and words which serves both purposes

      • I do nott hink much research is done either by google, advertisers or the sites about the viewers’ preferences. Viewers actually prefer to the point blogs so that they can quickly go through what they need to know. If the page is too long they skip it and same applies for pages that take long to download with many images. I view posts on the net and prefer short and to the points posts.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, It is True. There is a Green Rose 8 years ago

    The tendency for any gardener is to have something in their garden that others do not have. Some bend backwards and try to grow that which needs simulated conditions.  Tulips for example do not grow in India but […]

    • I’m like Shavkat. Have never seen a green flower. Would not have known the flower in the photo is a flower if you had not said do. It looks like a flower. But I would have still thought it wasn’t. (O.o) 🙂

      • But on a plant it does stand out and looks like a flower although if you look at it closely the petals resemble leaves.

    • I have heart about green rose when I was a student of the University our university tripped went to swat mountain I remembered I saw there green roses of different colors looked very beautiful and it petals were soft and delicate but its was not like red rose.

      Now after this i say after a long long time now I heard about the green roses and see now in the pic mentioned by my Lb fellow. I thanks for my LB fellow who reminds of of my university days that were full pleasure and free like birds fly in the air.

      But on reaching maturity woe and grief have bowed down my lumber and life full of sorrows, heart sad, but hopes cling like grapes on my soul twigs.

      • You need to celebrate your maturity. Problems could be converted to challenges and challenges bring life to life.
        And by the way how could you have seen a green rose in other colours in your student days is what I want to know 😀

    • when I was in my native place which is remote from the city I was not aware of the yellow roses. This was only for hearing. Later I came to know of different varieties and this made me surprise.

      No doubt a Tulip is not grown in India. But it is available in India due to a lot of development in the transportation system.

      There are shops even with that name . They prepare all Boutique using these flowers.

      The Green rose does not have buds or petals. But it is only the leaves that can be found as a bunch. This is the uniqueness of this flower.

      • The green rose does have buds just like any other rose. The petals look like leaves but well formed.

        When you say transportation system do you mean we import tulips. I was talking of growing them here under simulated conditions at great expense.

    • It is rare that roses can be propagated through seeds. You could look for plants or cuttings

    • Never tasted the sapato, canistel and noni. Don’t even think I’ve ever seen them in our grocery store. Thanks for the quick intro.

    • Noni is a health fruit and is not eaten but a juice is made after fermenting it. I have several of those trees but sadly have not made juice so far The ripe fruits have a very bad smell and the fermenting process is quite elaborate.
      The cuckoo birds just love these fruits.

      Canistel again is not common and can be eaten when ripe. Some do not like its smell. I tolerate it.
      Sapota or chikku as we call it is common here. I love this fruit.

    • i do not like sapato, and not sure if the look of it is appealing too, for me i has to like the outside also before i try or eat anthing, but thanks for the valuable info. writers.

    • Yes, my friend they do so knowingly so that they could sell their products they knowingly disappear old electronic spare parts. Thus The camera owner or mobile owner…could buy a new one. It is business technique to sell product.

      If they do not do so who buy their new products? That is why they upgrade all electronics to upset the buyers because they know that so and so ting is the weakness of costumers.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Pepper is Easy to Grow in Kitchen Gardens 8 years, 1 month ago

    Salt and pepper always pair together. We even have salt and pepper dispensers one sees on dining tables. But many do not know where the pepper comes from or how it is grown.  There is white pepper powder and b […]

    • Pepper is an ingredient that doesn’t lack in my kitchen. I happen to use pepper in most of my dishes, I usually feel if I don’t cook good with pepper it doesn’t taste right, I always feel like something is missing. In fact i tried to plant pepper one time using some dried seeds but nothing came out of it. I was then told that pepper grows on its own, when I asked how I was told about birds the way the would carry seeds from one pls a to another. So as they do this they also drop seeds in their way and that’s how I ended up with two trees of pepper growing in my small backyard garden. At that will save me from having to buy pepper all the time. I now have pepper at my disposal at anytime that I need.

    • Yes pepper growing in home garden is the best method as you have described in your article but the most amazing feature of pepper is the birds gathering the harvest season I will call the peppers birds as the humming birds that make their nests in the pepper trees I like the most Humming bird but you did not mention the lover of pepper tree.

      Pepper is useful for liver it blocks jaundice anon if pepper is present enough in your body. Pepper and clove its mixture is the best mixture for curry.

      Besides, Brazilian pepper of red color is also famous all over the world but you did not discuss in your article.

    • Thanks for that info on Brazilian pepper. The birds that come in groups to eat our pepper are not humming birds. They look like sparrows – a bigger version. I will try and find out what they are called.

    • If am to say to mention the important crops that can be grown in kitchen gardens, I will first of all talk about pepper and tomato.
      But the most important is pepper because one can’t do without it when cooking and it’s very easy to grow.
      Not just very easy to grow, it’s harvest is multiple. One stand yields tens of pepper unlike tomato.
      Pepper can easily be grown by just pouring a water containing a lot of its seed, when the crop starts germinating, the farmer picks them and plant them in due places around the kitchen garden.
      Pepper grow very fast and also yield very fast and in multiples and it yields two times before weaning and dying.
      Pepper has different colours, we have the red pepper, the green paper and the yellow pepper and all vary slightly in properties.
      Pepper require soil with high moisture content to enhance its growth and production and a closet look at it will make it yield a lot.
      Pepper is very important that no meal can be prepared without it. It goes in hand with salt.
      For me I think it is the best crop to be planted in the kitchen garden, other crops follows.

    Somehow songs of today vanish from my scene and from my head too, with the same speed they arrived. But the old numbers are there for keeps. They linger on.

    How can one forget Jim Reeves, Engelbert, Frank […]

    • I guess we have something in common. I am also a person of the olden days. I love my old time music. What you are saying is actually very true, if you try to compare the music that we listen to nowadays is far for what we used to listen to back in the days. Some of the songs have some ridiculous beats they are either too fast or or the beat is just so confusing you wouldn’t know what to make out of it. You have actually taken me back way back when Christmas was all about Jim Reeves and BonnyM. No one could beat this two groups in christmas carols. The songs that are coming out nowadays are a rendition of those songs but they still don’t bring out the feel of Christmas. I miss those days, and the only way I can bring it back is take out my cassettes yes cassettes from way back and play some of them. I was amazed the other day when I played an Abba tape and it was playing perfectly on one ofmy favorite old radio. At least the good thing is that we have Utube where we can download and listen to those old ballards.

      • You can now get CDs of old time music. I have a collection. I also have tapes and a deck.

    • It is right that old is gold now the song writers have dies and new writers do not have passion to write songs and carol due to money greed and other modern life activities.

      Old songs are beautiful and fascinating and charming to ears and a solace for mind and soul.

      If you get in a taxi in the Andean mountains of South America, you’ll likely hear on the radio popular English songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Why? The drivers generally don’t speak English, yet they love listening to old English songs, a passion that is shared by non-English speaking countries around the world.

      For this reason, the most popular classic “old” songs from around the globe are generally those that were recorded in English.

      Despite the dark nature of the song (essentially, it is about stalking), “Every Breath You Take” was named song of the year for 1983 and is one of the only singles in history to have sold over 10 million copies. The song was nominated for three Grammy awards and took home two, including “Song of the Year”.

    It makes me so angry when I read plagiarised posts on any website. It’s theft and nothing else. And the grand ship of Bubblews sank because the admins did nothing to check plagiarists and scammers. I am glad that now site admins are taking this issue very seriously.

    As members we too should be vigilant and report any stuff that looks dodgy.
