Arts & Humanities > Marketing & Selling Writing Writers: Marketing your services in a small town: 6 of 6
This requires real creativity - something that in itself will test your skills as a writer. Are you up for the challenge? Living in a small town does have the advantage that it's easier to get to know people. It's easy to get lost in a big city - the same doesn't apply the smaller the town gets.

Relationships & Family > Lesbian Lesbian Internet dating tips: 5 of 5
Common sense should prevail in the world of internet dating. This is especially true when it comes to lesbian dating, as there is always the real possibility you will start chatting to someone who wants to meet you... only to let slip their boyfriend would like to meet you too.

Ever suffered from a heel spur? If you have, you're probably sucking the air in over your teeth right now. If you haven't, it's rather like having a needle stuck into the underside of your foot - going in deep, right through your heel.
