A Houseful of Boys
At approximately 10:30 this morning, after a harrowing driver through city traffic in heavy rain, K and I made it to the airport to pick up our oldest son. Despite the storms ranging from the Gulf Coast to the Outer Banks of North Carolina both legs of his
Life is a rollercoaster

What Can Be Done About Bubblews?

Travelling is Tiring

How to Measure Your Writing Success

List Making Possibilities
Last April, shared a post about a website that will pay $100 for a list. Truth be told, keep pinching myself to see if it's all a dream. Expecting the site to disappear! Just checked the site today and the “Write and Get Paid” offer is still th
Random Thoughts Inside A Van On The Way Home
I love long post titles!!! It ain't exactly catchy or attention-grabbing but it works for me. So to state the obvious, I was on my way home riding a van when I had these random thoughts... ========== For a weekend afternoon, traffic is still bad. Welcome t
To monetize or not...that is the question!!
When I set up my #blog, I had two goals in mind. One, to have all my #short-stories and #poems scattered over various sites under one roof and the other of course was to earn some #money. To #monetize my blog, I searched around and decided to use two s
Holy Thoughts About Holy Week
Read the first part here, http://www.personapaper.com/article/28323-unholy-thoughts-about-holy-week . Continuing with my thoughts... oh and by the way, these thoguths aren't really holy. Perhaps less unholy than the first set though. LOL! ========== I do h
Blogging About Controversial Topics - YAY or NAY?
Do you pick controversial topics to discuss via blog posts? I lean more toward non-controversy myself. You seldom see posts about #politics or #religion at my blogs unless it's #history. But there is certainly a value-add to mentioning a controversia
My Hashtag Awards Acceptance Speech
Was torn between what to title this article. The alternate title was: “My Shock, Awe and Surprise Moment”. So you know how you publish a blog post but that's not enough because it's no good if nobody sees or read it. Right? Hit the pub
Mobile Posting 2

AOL Search Engine Traffic
AOL Search engine traffic? Until this morning I had no idea there was such a thing, but there it was, as bold as brass, on one of my Hubpages articles. On Hubpages you can see some stats which show you the keywords people used to end up on your
Bloggy Moms Network
Took one look at the post title and started yawning, didn't you? Yes! Know what you're thinking. You're thinking: 'Just what my cyber-net needs. Another friggin' network!!' Think of it this way. If you worked a regular 9 to 5 job as a
50 New Posts in 10 Hours
I was just having a quick look through the site and noticed that in the last 10 hours there have only been 50 posts made. It's no wonder I'm running short of profiles/people to check out and posts to read. 50 posts in 10 hours is 5 per hour. &n
Who is That Man With a Towel on His Head and What are They Doing To Him?
When my Dad was still alive, I took him to #Atlanta to for an outpatient eye surgery. As they were getting ready to release him, the nurse got blood all over his clothes taking out his IV, so she gave him a pair of scrubs to wear home. Once they had him re
Holding Back
My husband promised to go on a half day leave from work today so we can go out for our anniversary. I was expecting him a little later after lunch but it is already 5:00 pm and he said he has been caught in traffic. He has also been asking if I want to tak

Wedding Trip Haze

External Traffic
Well, I guess this is the very first article because the introduction material wasn’t actually written to be posted, but to accompany my profile. So I do see many familiar faces here which is great because each one of them took time to welcome and t
It Doesn't Take Much to Skew the Stats

Ticket To Ride
Here's my ticket to ride, do you have yours? Not pertaining to one of The Beatles' most iconic songs but actually would like to talk about the sad state of our country's railway system. We have four actually. The Philippines National Railway (PNR) which i
Correct Parking Can Someone Clarify for Me?
I was wondering if someone can explain to me about #illegal #parking. If you can see in the picture in a #neighborhood, the cars are parked in front of their #perspective houses and they are facing the way the #traffic #flows. Now would it be considered as
