Not Available In Your Country- a Frustrating Message

Have you ever wanted to register on a site, full of hope that it might provide you with another earning opportunity, only to be deflated after discovering that the site is not available in your country? I have just gone through this experience a few days ago when I wanted to register on Chat About, a site I had read about and which seemed to me like a new version of Mylot.
However, I went through a much bigger disappointment several months ago with Slicethepie, a site on which I had been allowed to register and on which users made money by writing short reviews of song from different artists and musical genres.
On that particular site I was about halfway to reaching the payment threshold, which was at about $20 if I remember well, when I received an email informing me that Slicethepie was no longer available to users from my country. It’s easy to understand how upset I was in that case; I had really wasted my time with it by trying to do my best to write positive things about songs I didn’t really like, with a few exceptions.
Anyway, things like this probably happened to many users from less developed countries, so we have to learn to deal with it and carry on in search of other sites which allow users from all over the world to express themselves, and luckily PWG falls into this category.

Corneal Abrasion ( cornea scratched)

This happens quite often, your eye is suddenly hurting badly with the feeling like “something is in it” well you could very well have corneal abrasion.

The cornea is the front window of your eye and it covers the iris (the colored part of the eye) round the pupil. When the cornea is scratched, cut, or even scraped these are all known as corneal abrasions.

Usually these injuries are caused by your fingernail, makeup brushes, rubbing of the eyes, and even paper cuts. Or sometimes “dry eye” can actually cause the abrasion.

Symptoms of corneal abrasions are: tearing, redness, pain, soreness, and blurred vision. Some treatments are applying a patch over the eye, taking antibiotics to prevent infection and also eyes drops to keep the eye lubricated.

Minor abrasions will usually heal within a day or two but other larger abrasions can take about a week. Unfortunately the process can be painful because there are more nerve endings in the cornea than anywhere else in the body

Glad It's Over

Thank God it's all gone and over. The worst winter storm we've had here in years in Eastern N.C. is finally over. Cabin fever is starting to set in with many treading out despite the warnings to stay inside. This latest winter storm brought in about 8-10 inches of snow in my area. For some strange reason, I thought returning home to North Carolina from New York was a good way to escape this kind of weather. Boy, was I mistaken.

The weather this year has been so unpredictable. We've always been taught to dress in layers to offset this kind of weather but even that is not working for me. I'm just hoping the Ground hog was wrong and we're not going to see 6 more weeks of this. I know it's winter but this I was not expecting and I don't think anyone else around here was either.

It seems as if we're locked into some kind of a pattern with the snow, rain and sleet. For the last month or so, we've had some type of storm-related weather bi-weekly. Also it seems the storm(s) have chosen a particular day to make an appearance as well. With Tuesday being the chosen day to appear, school has been closed for most of the week.

All I can say is if this is any indication of how the summer will be, we're in for a hell of a summer.

Living Life or a Life Worth Living

Have you ever questioned yourself about the quality of your life? Often times, we never think about such things until confronted with a different perspective such as that of an elderly person who lives alone. If I was asked that question, I would have to say that right now, I am living a life. When you think about it, it doesn't sound rewarding.

How would you like to create a life worth living? Would you even know where to begin? Most of us are too busy with "stuff" that we have to do that creating any kind of rewarding atmosphere has never entered our mind. Tapping into that sixth sense of yearning, creativity and thinking outside of the box attitude is quite scary for some of us.

We like living in the comfort zone regardless of the pain, setbacks and hardships it may cause. To do anything else requires change and we make excuses as to why that is a "bad thing". So we continue to live life without any recognition of how mundane our life is. We teach this to our children and to their children until a pattern develops. Who will break the cycle?

Are you content with leaving behind a legacy of living life? Or would you like your book to read "she made life worth living"?

Herbal Remedies For Treating Cellulite

Cellulite is a popular term for body fat, it is simply fat that has developed and has a cottage cheese look because of the way it is deposited in the body. Body fat is usually stored under the skin where the connective tissues separated cells are stored into compartments.

When fat cells increase in size they have a tendency to bulge and spread out of their compartments giving the skin an uneven and thick look.

There are natural healing remedies that can effectively help to keep cellulite in check and here are some herbal remedies that are effective to try:

Gotu Kola- is a leafy green herb native to India and it has been used for centuries for connective tissue disease. Taking this herb can help to strengthening the skin and connective tissue.

Horse chestnut- It is used for varicose veins and hemorrhoids but can also help reduce the swelling and aids in strengthening the connective tissues. You can get horse chestnut in a cream which is an anti-inflammatory and astringent, it can be purchased in most health food stores.

Extra tip- did you know that apple cider has been known to help the body rid itself of body fat.

Good Day to Everyone

Have been informed by Jaid about this group. I said I will try to join and see how things will work. It is good to see there are lots of writers who are already contributing to this blog site and it seems like they are all enjoying the company. We are to be honest to one another. I guess we should admit that we really are looking for an Internet site anywhere on the globe that will really help us financially. Of course we are all fond of writing. We cannot guarantee a perfect piece of each content that we are going to write. What important is, just have fun and enjoy the ride.
Have a great day everyone.

How to See All Your PWG Posts In A Single Page

PWG is just a few days old but its already made some impressive strides and I am very excited to think of what the future holds for this wonderful site and its members. Today I was wondering about something and came up with a solution so thought I should share it with all so that the whole community benefits from it. I wanted to see all my posts at one place but was unable to do so and the only way that looked possible was to scroll through all posts to find that of mine.

I have three posts as of now before this one so that is possible but may not be much fun when I have a larger archive or articles. I was talking to Laurie Tysinger, one of the admin of the site and she suggested something which worked like a charm. She said use a common tag in all your posts which may be even the initials of your name. I did that when I click on that common tag on any of my posts I can see all my posts in a single page without having to scroll through all other posts.

I would like to suggest that all members so this so that they don't face this problem and as the site is still new and no member has a lot of articles you can do it easily now.

It feels like the 1st time

Hi there,

I'm Ben I am just new here. I am technically a newbie writer. I am still at the dark so I will be very glad if some people would give me beginner tips so I can start. I am also a writer in bubblews. I join this group so I can diversify my earning stream. I also want to know what rules I need to follow here. Do I get paid via PayPal? How many characters is the required minimum? I promised to put up quality material once I get the hang of this. How do I get other writers to read my work or how do I read other writers’ work?

I know I may sound a bit stupid, but I have to admit I don’t know anything before I can ever learn anything at all. So I hope I get some help.
