Business > Entrepreneurship (Other) Identifying MLM (multilevel marketing) prospects: 1 of 4
MLM Opportunities are everywhere you look. I, personally, have been involved in several over the years. Before joining up with a multi-level marketing company, do your research.

Relationships & Family > Married Life Should husbands or wives control the family budget?: 27 of 45
This is a tricky one to write about. I've been married for 30 years and all I can say is that neither the husband or the wife should control the family budget. But, if I have to choose sides, I would say it should be the woman as she's usually the one who has to purchase the weekly groceries and pay the bills and she's the o... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet Tips Sizzling tips for a summer diet: 8 of 13
Ahhh! Bathing suit weather! We all panic at this time of the year because we want to look good in shorts or bathing suits. Summer is not the time to go on a diet but it is a time when you can eat healthier.

Arts & Humanities > Literary Themes & Ideas The book is usually better than the movie: 41 of 60
In my own opinion, I find that usually a book is better than the movie. Personally, if I know a movie is based on a book, I like to read the book first to see how true to the story the movie is. Take, for example, the Harry Potter books and movies. I've read all of the books several times and my husband hasn't. He comes with... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet Programs Low-carb diet vs. low-fat diet: Which is more effective?: 9 of 13
As a trained health professional, I have to say that the low carb diet is healthier for you although if we all ate right, there would be no need for diets. Diets are only as good as the person doing them and they have to be kept interesting to continue with them. It's a known fact that if you do something regularly for six w... More..
Entertainment > Music Business Music piracy: Is downloading music ethical?: 43 of 62
Downloading music from the internet without paying for it is not ethical. These musicians have worked hard to make their music and have signed with record labels. They all have cd's available for purchase in music stores. The musicians get paid by the number of cd's they sell, they don't get paid for people downloading their... More..
Jobs & Careers > Office Politics Bad bosses: How to work for someone with anger management issues: 18 of 24
I had an experience just last year which lost me my job. I was hired on as a receptionist in a dental office. My higher person to go to with problems was the other receptionist/office manager - the dentists don't want to be bothered with what's going on up front. The first couple of months were smooth as i was adjusting to w... More..
Health & Fitness > Nutrition & Health Issues Is a low-carb diet safe?: 7 of 9
yes, a low-carb diet is safe. You are still having carbs but when on a low-carb diet, you are eating the 'right' carbs. Carbs will help to stop hunger pangs so you don't want to eliminate them altogether. With all diets, you should have 3 meals and 3 snacks a day as well as your 8 glasses of water. When eating a low-carb die... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should schools give BMI index scorecards for their overweight students?: 31 of 39
No, schools should not give BMI index scorecards to their overweight students. The overweight student knows that they are overweight and they know why they are - they don't need to have it rubbed in their faces. Yes, these children need more exercise and to eat healthier, but some of them have other things going on in their ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?: 272 of 305
With all of the sex and violence on television and on the big screen these days, I can totally understand why some parents choose not to allow their children to watch television. However, in my family, I have allowed my children to watch all sorts of television programs but I have been selective as to what they watched. When... More..
