Let me give you some advice. First off, unless you have money or an abundance of skills, you aren't going to be able to jump into IM and make enough initially to eat, make rent, and other living expenses - sorry, that's just reality. What you need to do immediately is focus on gaining a job - in...

First off, I am sorry you got ripped off - but let me give you some advice moving forward. When dealing with someone you don't know, start small - at least smaller than $5k. I'm hoping you meant in a different currency than US or that wasn't exactly what you meant b/c that is a large amount to...

Happy Birthday! I hope it's a great day for you and the start of a wonderful year!

I think we'll need money until we manage to convert matter to energy and back efficiently. At that point, we would be able to pretty much eliminate poverty because we would have practically unlimited energy to be able to create food, housing - everything that is needed - making it no longer...

Hey all, When I was a Mod-in-Training, WizGizmo took me under his wing and taught me the ropes. He was always kind and patient. We became good friends and exchanged real FB info and phone numbers. We kept loosely in touch but it had been a few years when I came back to BHW and noticed he'd been...

Twitter has never held any interest for me - and even less since Elon bought it.

Keep in mind that Etsy is in the business to make money from transations. They generally don't shut down accounts without a reason. I've heard ppl say there are exceptions, but most of the time, there's a valid reason. Your friend was selling handmade products made in another country. Was he...

Welcome to the Blue side!

I was curius - so I tried the white theme... for about 15 seconds. It didn't feel right so I reverted right back. :)

I'm curious - what's the point if finding out who posted it? It won't get your sites re-indexed nor make you a dime of the money you've lost. Even if you could find out who it was, what are you going to do, post an angry message to him at what he cost you? I just don't see the point.

If it was me, and I had to pick a static time for each night, I would pick 10pm to 6am. I got up at 5:30am for 21 years when I was active duty Navy... don't need to do that no more. Lol

Technically I work from 9pm to 8am because I work overnight (4x10s) as a network tech on our outage team... lol

I'm wondering - why you are grading yourself to maintain the specific times slot to sleep (8pm to 4am) rather thsn just the requirement it be 8 hours long? My wife and I routinely go to bed at different times, we just adjust the alarm so that we will get a bit more then 8 hours. (Our dog wakes...

Ok, you found out that you needed to post it publicly to keep yourself on task - so continue to posting it publicly. Get back on the horse and start riding. If parts are too private, then don't include those, but post what feels comfortable - but re-commit to getting it done. I wish you good...

It's a typical reaction when there is no other defense - attack the other person or the platform.
