I have done a cursory search of the internet and keep getting frustrated by sites that offer leads, advice, etc. to freelance writers, but they all want money up front. I have found that most sites that require money up front are not worth the effort. Does anyone know about good places to go to find more info?

Thanks!

After watching Bugs Bunny and many other characters get hit by trains that were nowhere in sight when they stepped on a railroad track, I now have a tiny sense of unease when I cross railroad tracks, even when I can't hear or see any sign of a train.

Hoops could be shot down in University Park thanks to a proposed ordinance banning basketball goals in front yards. The reason? To some city officials, they don't look too good - and under the proposal, violators could be fined up to $2,000 a day. But some homeowners with the goals called the proposed law ridiculous, silly and stupid.

I swear, sometimes I think this nation could benefit from a good civil war or at least another extended depression to put us back to reality.

A fighter pilot walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No," he replies, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch, and I was just testing it.
"The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
The fighter pilot explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.
The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties....
"The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I AM wearing panties!

" The fighter pilot smirks, taps his watch and says, "Damn thing's an hour fast."

I have looked at arial photos of Pripyat in Ukraine with Google Earth and noticed a strange phenomenon of what appears to be white shards of light in Northwestern Pripyat? If you use Google Earth, or have a mapping program that you can access places via their Latitude and Longitude coordinates, they are:

Lat=51.4130659252, Lon=30.0426800957

The place looks like a grey rectangle pointing from Northwest to the Southeast and it's directly west of the enormous square dirt area with the bottom chunk missing.

Within the grey rectangle there are four long bright shards at the bottom and several other shards around the rectangle. The rectangle almost looks like a parking lot.

Do you know what this is?

My apartment manager came by last night so I could sign my lease. I've lived there for five years and my rent has always been on time. This is the third owner of the property since I moved in. He has decided I should pay $600 a month instead of $505... that's HALF my monthly salary! Yes, I am looking for a new place to live and a new job.

I studied economics. There's a widely accepted concept of 'disposable income'. That's how much money one has to spend "on a whim". So how much time per week do you think to have to do with however you like.

Consider that humans are 'social animals'. The worst punishment is solitary confinment- which leads to insanity. We need to socialize with other people as much as wee need sleep and food. So socialization, to a large degree is not 'disposable' time- we have to socialize, to some degree.

So, there are 168 hours in a week. We spend 56 hours sleeping. 40 plus hours at jobs. __ hours 'decompressing' (relaxing) after work. Around 20 hours grocery shopping/cooking/eating/digesting & relaxing after meals. We spend hours getting dressed and undressed, doing laundry. We spend some time each week shopping/doing errands. If ya got kids well there's a big chunk of hours.

So tell me, how many hours on average per week do you calculate that you have as totally 'you' time?
