The Rise and Fall of Squidoo
The main thing which irritated me about Squidoo was its insistence on constantly updating pages. Um. No. I'll update them if I see a spellie or have new information to impart. Otherwise you end up like Bubblews was in its early days, with the ...

Environmental Chefs Will Love This Compost Stew ABC Recipe Book
Of course you are charming :-) I use compost for food plants and it is my personal preference not to introduce human nor animal bacterial issues.

Environmental Chefs Will Love This Compost Stew ABC Recipe Book
I do put fingernails in... I sound charming, don't I? But nothing animal, it (apparently) attracts rats. And we have a big enough problem with them in London as it is.

30th Anniversary of The Waterboys: This is the Sea
I took awhile to come round to The Waterboys, but I adore The Whole of the Moon and really need to see whether my copy of the CD survived several house moves. My feelings about The Waterboys are akin to those about Crowded House. Where the stuff ...

I will pass on that tip, Telesto. I do not mix anything animal or human into composting.

How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do
Jo, today I downed 4 of the pints and a couple of smaller mugs too. And there will be another pint before bed, as well as another glass of wine. Teapot on legs, you say? I think so - my internal argument with myself at the moment goes 'would you ...

Fingerprints
Thank you. I've only touched the tip of the iceberg here. I'm researching a book, so may well write more on similar subjects... :-)

Fingerprints
The whole DNA technology had some problems with contamination at the beginning, although I am pretty sure that's all sorted now. It really is fascinating though.

There is another "speed up your composting" tip but I'm not absolutely sure I should share it, lest you think I am a bit mad.... It involves human urine being added to the mix. I saw it on television some years back and have used it ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo
Yeah, WriterArtist!!! I really do miss the site, especially the community there. Especially when I first started out, the community was awesome, so positive and supportive. That's funny (and a cool coincidence) that your lens was in the ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo
My experience also resonates a lot with what both of you wrote, burntchestnut and Writer Artist.
I also think the spam and changes to the site could have been handled better. But it is easy for us to say this from afar. They do seem under ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo
Dear Cazort - I returned to this article again to check the snapshot - It features my lens on the Homepage "Landscaping The Patio and Backyard with Metal and Wicker Hanging Chairs for Outside". It certainly brings back nostalgic memories - I ...

The Rise and Fall of Squidoo
@RuthCox, I also feel relatively grateful about the site's closing in the end; it had become a headache and time sink for me, with little reward.
I do like to assume the best in people so I'll hesitate to conclude that Seth and the other ...

I Statements - Examples and Exercises in Communication

I've noticed that people tend to naturally have a wide range of communication styles, and there are some people who naturally tend to communicate in ways ...
