    There really were ‘Good Old Days’ in online writing.

    If you could go back to 2010 you would enter a world of many online writing sites, many  online writing paying sites. A world of so  many publishing sites […]

    • I agree with you that Golden days of writing online and earning has gone.. Lot of improvements has come in with Google adsense over the years.. Most of the sites today does have no matter, but they are earning something for engaging people on their sites for longer time… Google is paying for that reason.. Moderators are in turn passing the portion of their earnings to their most valued members for their contributions

    In the 1970s, living to 100 in Jamaica was no big deal.   There were a lot of people above 80 who were active.  Although, today, 2017 we have the oldest living person in the world, 117,  the fact is, the number of […]

    It doesn’t matter where you are.   School, Office, Street, very often you will encounter someone who never shuts up and who, if there is no one to talk with, starts to sing.

    This behaviour is startling.

    I was wasting time on Facebook, and there was this list of ‘people I might know’. Hmmm?

    • It is true, and many people especially young ones do not know the risks involved in plastering facebook with their photos! They are easy targets for scammers, etc.

      I do not accept friendships from people I do not know, so FB should stop such things as “people you might know!”

      • I totally agree with you. Anyone who clicks on these users has no idea who they are. I know my friends, but who is this? I could use any photo as myself… so do they.

    About two hundred years ago, people were paid by the word.  Novels which were serialised in News Papers would have a great deal of ‘extra’ to push up the cash.

    “Strange Days” is not a recent movie. It was released 1995. Nevertheless if you are a fan of either Angela Bassett or Ralph Fiennes or both, this film might interest you.

    Horror movies are definitely not for me! Are you kidding? The werewolf and Frankenstein used to scare me. Spooky sci-fi TV shows like “The Outer Limits” used to frighten me. Sorry. Had an overactive imagination and when my head hit the pillow to go to sleep, it was the beginning of nightmares.

    Imagine you are an actor or actress on a hit serial.    The show airs once a week on television and people tune in to watch.   You’ve gotten attention, maybe you have a fan base.

    The show is going season after se […]

    • ‘you want more creative opportunities’?? LOL. LOL. You’re really know how to make me laugh. Substitute “lucrative” for the word “creative”. Sometimes it works out for them. Sometimes not. It does depend on the opportunities. It’s true if you get hooked on a show and they change cast, you keep watching it. But even though I keep watching the program, I find myself always comparing the new cast to the original cast that I really liked. The different cast members make the grade with me. MI-5 is the only show that ever kept changing its cast and I didn’t mind it all. That was an awesome. The only member of the cast that they took out that made me really mad was the lady who played “Ruth” (Nicola Walker). I really liked her. When she died I was furious!!

      • Typo. The different cast members make the grade with me. Meant to say “The new cast members don’t make the grade with me.”

        • I find that although I might have liked a particular actor, once he or she is gone, the show doesn’t suffer. The new actor fills the space and the show continues.

      • The actor/actress who gives that excuse usually becomes unemployed. Think of those who were on Grey’s Anatomy in the beginning. Where are they now? When was the last time they worked?

        Even those who claim to leave for some role in a movie… what movie? It is just a lack of sense. It isn’t anything else. It is as if they have a fantasy of hundreds of producers banging on their door.

        • My son watched Grey’s Anatomy. I was not a fan. I liked “Death in Paradise”, in the beginning. But even though I continue to watch it, I don’t really like the “replacements”. For me, it’s that way with a lot of TV shows I view regularly. It’s silly but I get attached to certain characters.

          • Greys began highly rated, was a little stupid, went down then started to pick itself up. The original 5 main characters; Meredith, Izzi, Alex, George and Christina wound up… Izzi was nominated for an award and refused because she didn’t think her character deserved it so she was written out. George got into an argument with Isiah Washington over homosexuality, and Isiah was dispatched to please the gay community and George was killed to get rid of him. Christina who had a very good role and won awards was one of the ‘creative opportunities’ morons so hasn’t been seen since 2012.

            On Death In Paradise, the star’s wife couldn’t take the heat so went back to England, and he followed her. So I guess he’s joined the dole.
