Alrik - I hope your leg gets better soon. This thing IS curable right? *** Luci - the traditional answer there is, "Yes!" ;D Well done!

Thanks and man, the person, Lynn, who asked me was really nice and handled my "freak-out" reaction very well. ;P We're now talking and the going rates are for a couple of bucks per few hundred words. Hell, I will definitely take that up and even offer a refund IF she is dissatisfied with the quality.
And phew... am I glad I got into this Internet Marketing line. I'd have never been able to find such gigs in Singapore.

We're still discussing things out... btw. 'Cos the first things didn't pan out: news from Singapore is just too limited or if not, utter tabloid. Thanks, Janggut... yeah! ;D I'm gonna kick some ass.

@ Alrik - sucks... hope your book discovery makes it a il better @ Sonar - WOOOOOOT! You go girl! It's really hard to get freelance writing jobs nowadays (especially when you haven't 9047013974982374897 sample works) so all praise to you! PS: what was this article about? where is it? can I read it? *annoying curiosity*

kitty: Suggestion... try out "Internet Marketing", pick up some affiliates or contacts to build up a list. There are many who will pay to do different kind of articles. Now, if only I lived in a country that was a bit less boring. If I'm going to paid just a few bucks per article, I am not going to pay more than that to attend some event in order to cover it. My article(note that there are some glaring errors like grammar and clumsy sentences which will be fixed ASAP): www.helium.com/items/1629292-organic-bloom-gentle-cleansing-milkWell... I just HAD to feature this product 'cos it was utterly awesome. =P And please... *whimper* my ego is fairly fragile.

Good review. Have you considered entering for product surveys and such like (they don't often pay money, but quite often you'll be sent freebies, and preview products, and you can earn points for money off vouchers)

Congrats, Sonar! And even if it doesn't pay much, the experience and contacts are good, and it may help build your portfolio. Alrik, get well soon... At least it looks like you can get occupied well during your "convalescence". Edit: for the thread, I don't see why not letting this one continue if it doesn't cause any technical issue.

Sonar - I like your review And if your country is too boring, find the dead bodies in peoples cellars and make it interesting ^^ Random Thought: I'm obsessed with university memorabilia. I start to understand why people think I'm weird...

@ Alrik: Sorry to hear about that, I hope you get the proper treatments, and the necessary rest. Nice though, you have an interesting book to read! @ SC: That's a good review! You'll probably get approached by more than just a few people, be warned. @ Kitty: What EK said.

Um.. thanks ;D (I've Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford and Princeton Memorabilia now. Who would have thought that it is hard to get good stuff from those "other Ivy League" universities? Brown, Cornell, Columbia, Penn... all hard to get good stuff from )

^ Lucky [Censored]! I'm collecting anything really... I've an ashtray from Yale for example (lucky I don't smoke, wouldn't want to spoil it!) and own a pamphlet of women rights from 1891 from Oxford. So really, whatever lies around, I probably like it (PS: the funniest thing about the California Stae University is that their logo is "CSU" in short - Glance will get why that's funny... )If you have a way through your daughters to get any memo's, I'm happy to hear about it ;D Oh I forgot: I do collect preferably from the toplisted unis - but also from the ones that are just, y'know, pretty (logowise or school-identity-wise), so to be even more unspecific... I collect what is nice and has a logo printed on I'm focussing on the US atm (apart from Cambridge & Oxford.. they just walked past me, so to say) but will hopefully extend my collection to worldwide greatness asap (its just harder because I dont speak the other countries langs...meh...rambling... )

There is now a new UBB function to the board that allows to post spoilers. This icon adds (spoiler) (/spoiler) tags and anything typed in between will appear as follows: This is a spoiler. If you ever find out that it broke anything, please let me know... ;D Thanks to DPR for the pointer!

For the sake of testing... Can you nest spoilers? But then you can't nest tables either:

Oh crap...I destroyed my lustre ten minutes ago. It's (it was) hanging right between my bed and my desk so I always walk right underneath it. Except for today when I walked right into it. It came down with a lot of noise and shattered into a thousand pieces. Dammit!
