I guess any endeavor involving humans is going to have it, but when I started writing online for cash, (pennies maybe, but it's still cash!), I wasn't expecting all the drama. From sites that don't pay, to editors getting snitty and eventually quitting, it's been quite the tempest in the teapot.
As things stand right now, I write for three sites that are all owned by the same guy: FoK, PAA, and EP. So far, so good: Aaron has remained level-headed and runs his sites with a huge degree of transparency. But it is a risk having all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. Should Aaron ever pull a Bubblews stunt and stop paying, I'll be left out in the cold.

Some Great Articles on FullofKnowledge
I recently came across some very well written articles on http://fullofknowledge.com/ . They are by a guy called, "Curt Smothers", and many of them are about military history, which I find fascinating.
This is the url: http://fullofknowledge.com/ . Check it out! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Our "Deer Buffet"
We tried to grow a vegetable garden this past summer here in central Georgia. Despite our total lack of preparation, or experience in this climate, it was coming along fairly well, until THEY found it. THEY are, of course, the accursed deer.
They munched nearly everything to the ground. They chewed ALL the leaves off the okra plants, (leaving a few pods, just to taunt me, I suppose); they annihilated the kamote, (sweet potato), vines; they stepped on, squashed, and just plain damaged the bitter melon vines; they chewed the tomato plants to bare stubs; they munched away on the eggplant and green pepper plants until there was almost nothing left, and what they did not eat from the squash vines they simply squashed!
They did all this, but were careful not to disturb the kudzu or poison ivy!
About the only plants they did not consume were members of the mint family, (or at least plants that I believe are members of the mint family): basil, anise hyssop, and spearmint. Oh, and onions. They don't appear to enjoy munching on onions.
I HATE DEER! The best way to control these vermin would be to shoot them, but, alas, there is an elementary school behind us, and firing a gun in such a setting would take an act of such extreme redneck stupidity that even I could not do it.
The next best solution is a tall privacy fence. That, unfortunately, takes more cash than we have on hand at the moment, and our budget is in such a state of disarray that we will probably not be able to afford it for the foreseeable future.
I guess this means we'll be growing a lot of onions, basil, anise hyssop, and spearmint next year. Or at least kudzu and poison ivy!

So Which Are You?
So which are you, a migrant prefixed with "e", or a migrant prefixed with "i"? Just watch where you go in life, or you may discover someone has probed you with a tube!
"Oh nonsense!", you reply. "You're just full of your usual craziness, arph."
To which I respond, "Oh yeah?"

Making Money Online!
Shared revenue: how to do it. (I didn't write this article, so you know it's good!)
Make money online: the truth. (Another article I did not write.)
This is me. I can't guarantee you'll enjoy or learn anything from my articles, but at least you won't be bored!
By the way, it looks like the Bubble is finally going to pop. Bummer! I enjoyed that site while it was legit.
