    My view is that when an Owner starts to take in money, if s/he has a dishonest gene, it takes over and they deplete the ‘treasury’ and can’t pay their writers.

    I disagree Mahesh.   If a site is NON paying, such as Wikinut or Blogjob, fine.  But a site like Hubpages is supposed to pay, but pays so little, if/when it’s a waste of key strokes.  Any site that promises to pay and doesn’t is a Scam.

    When it comes to Ad Block… that’s a whole different story

    Wikinut doesn’t pay and probably never will again.   The Owner of the site hasn’t a clue how to manage a site, and left his mods to do what they pleased.  As soon as the site stopped paying the Mods left, except for the one guy, the one I’d warned about publishing Shards…

    The Fact was; the Owner messed up, and ripped off the writers.  Then ran with coin.   If he hadn’t been such a dishonest thief that site would be the top of the Internet.

    Years ago, the crowds and the hype made it clear that this picture or that one was a must see.    People felt that this one was sure to get the Academy Award, but that one got it.   It wasn’t that great a sh […]

    • It would be nice to see the day when ALL positions for employment are actually based on the job candidate’s qualifications and merits. But that ain’t never gonna happen and we know it! So if you got skills, try to find out how to make it on your own.

      As for the Oscars? Did something happen? I stopped watching that particular awards show years back. Long time ago, we might have argued about the “hint of racism” in these ceremonies. But that lady who played the maid in “Gone With the Wind” did got an Oscar, even though she couldn’t go to the celebration part afterwards because Negroes were not allowed. Sidney Potier got an Oscar for “Lilies of the Field”. Denzel Washington has more than one Oscar on his belt notch. Perhaps the person who started the Academy Awards actually did want to give recognition to outstanding actors, directors, etc. But these days, especially these days, we all know that the award shows are about money. And any little “controversy”? It’s probably about money too! That black and white stuff is just “window dressing”.

      • I feel you are seeing the same thing I am. It’s like having various flavours of ice cream and most people buying Rocky Road, (for example) and the store deciding this in unfair to strawberry so people have to buy strawberry.

        When Avatar roped in more money than any other picture and didn’t get the award one wondered where the head of the Academy was?

        I have no intention in seeing a movie about homosexuals. It doesn’t appeal to me. I will prob. watch la la land online because its a ‘feel good’ movie and sometimes… gee… people go to the movies to… um… be … I don’t know…? Entertained?

        To my mind La La Land won… but it was more ‘politically correct’ to give it to Moonlight, so the envelopes were fudged…

    • That is indeed a very proud moment, very well done. Congratulations to you and your daughter. Even I wanted to be a doctor but I changed my mind lol, and now I am just an accountant.

      • Thank you. We really are indeed proud parents. Especially that she we have raised her to be a God fearing woman.

        Oh, please don’t say JUST an accountant. Each of our profession has a different way of contributing to society. Each one is important, to complete the cycle of things in our lives.

    • Congrats!Very proud of you, for sure. So glad to hear this, a joyful moment. @harpreet singh good to be an accountant too, a good career provided we love our jobs, all jobs are a good job, for sure!

      • Thank you. And we are so happy that after 9 years, we are through with providing for her. She will be soon on her own. 🙂

        Yes, I told @HARPREET SINGH , not to say JUST an accountant. Each of our jobs are important to make the society a better place to live in. We all have our own contributions to the world having our different jobs. There is dignity in labor as they say.

    • God bless your daughter. I’d like to add that it is truly a blessing to everyone when men and women are given the opportunity to study and to become “the best that they can be” at whatever occupation they choose as a life profession.

      • @Treathyl FOX

        Thank you. Indeed, the best wealth that we can give our children is giving them the freedom to choose the best course for themselves and enjoy doing the job for the rest of their lives and show their best on it.

    • @Michelle

      Thank you. Indeed she is a talented one. Maybe she took it from me. Joke , joke , joke

      We never expected her to pursue Medicine actually. We though that when he graduated on BS Biology, she will already be contented with it.

      But she really has the ambition of being a lawyer actually. But my father a lawyer who eventually became a judge discouraged her because there was a scholarship waiting for her for the science related course so she took BS Biology then pursued Medicine.

      At least she also likes so much to be a doctor.

    • For those who can afford never care about how much to spend. What’s on their mind is happiness and fulfillment of their dream , yet there are practical people that better like to weed simpler and have the most money save to start for a family.

      Thanks for sharing this factual happenings in our society this time.Write more , blog more and earn more,lol.

      • Well for the rich, money doesn’t matter indeed, as long as they will be happy with it.

        But for those that are on budgets, they really choose to be more practical.

        And that’s what me and hubby did when we got married. It was just a simple wedding with just the family, closest relatives, friends and officemates present.

        At least we already have appliances in our rented apartment when we went there to start our married lives.

        We didn’t regret having the simple wedding. But simple thought it may be , the guests really appreciated the foods that were served. We just added lechon and chicken macaroni salad.

    • You have a taste for antiques my friend. I don’t.

      Even with the designs of houses, I am not into the antique ones. I like the contemporary ones with minimalist touch, so the house will have the illusion of being spacious.

      I don’t like furniture that are darkly colored mostly brown as antiques are. I like furniture that have colors that makes the house appear bright and spacious.

      But good thing I don’t have a taste for antiques because they are expensive. he he he

    • Dear @Dina, thanks for reading and commenting my blog. I love to have you here.
      I believe you going to cash out this month end too, right? Glad to seeing it happened to you and me.
      The reason why I love those old stuffs, first, I think it is a waste if just throw them away or into the dustbin. It is not environment friendly, and wasted of the limited resources we have on the earth, right?
      It just a choice of lifestyle, yeah, I go for postmodern style too sometimes, it depends. You are right, we are all try to be minimalist touch, but having said that, I think my house is a bit messy with some old books stuck in my book shelves recently, sigh!
      Again, you are right again, I think my hunted goods are not antique too, as I am not affordable, I just shopped and hunted for old and unwanted goods of other, I guess. Haha!

    • I love antiques or second hand finds. I visit the flea market once a week usually.

    • I love second hand hunting someone’s trash is someone’s treasure goodwill stores are a great source of second hand treasures. I’ve got a friend that was remodeling her kitchen she wanted a unique island and found a second dresser made of cherry she sanded down restrained and put a granite top on now it is the showpiece of her kitchen. Yard sales are great spots for hunters as well. Nothing like finding a nice piece taking it home and making it into a great piece of furniture.

    There was a site called Wikinut.  It was a pleasant site and it paid.  Every item was moderated but not severely.   The site demanded long items… over 1k with 5 images, 5 bold words and 5 links.  Then one could get a Star.

    One would be on the Star Page and likely to be read.

    I earned on the other sites when they were alive.  Now it is only this one, Niume and Mylot.
