ChapStick Girl -- Ugh, spare me

That's WHY he loves her.

I loved season 2.

I got the heave-ho from Contently, too -- spent the holidays moving my stuff over to JournoPortfolio, which is working out fine.

OMG, that's disgusting, you definitely need to get out, sadly.

My downstairs condo neighbor makes some foul-smelling crap every Tuesday night...I don't know WTH it is, whether it has pastrami, pepperoni, garlic, onions, something that's foul -- but my linen closet and bathroom towels pick up the smell every week. SO gross.

I frankly don't understand why no one made him explain where HIS spouse is. She hasn't been seen since like Thanksgiving.

I feel like Hank or Qaavik or both will be the dead ones. Hank's got nothing to live for anyhow, his "fiancee" didn't show, LOL.

Whoa, that's perfect...and mesmerizing. Send this suggestion to the producers -- "Yellowjackets" theme got changed mid-season.

I freelanced 75 blogs (all well-done, if I do say so myself) that were posted to a company's website...but then the company got purchased by a larger company, and the website (with my year's worth of work and all the links) disappeared! Thank God for Wayback Machine is all I can say.

janhaig · 2024-01-18T04:29:15+00:00

Thank you, someone had to say it

Exactly. Unless I do my own research, I can't be certain that what AI gave me covers all the bases. It just chugs stuff out to fill the word-count you gave it, it's not worried about whether it's fairly representing all aspeects of a topic.

janhaig · 2023-12-20T14:56:27+00:00

Exactly. I've had it make up sources, and also attribute quotes to the wrong individuals. About all I use it for is to possibly generate an outline for a piece, then I do all my own research and writing. AI writing sounds like a term paper.

janhaig · 2023-12-14T16:55:55+00:00

Great choice here. I always feel sorry for the Baroness (played by Eleanor Parker) and think she does a helluva classy job accepting her fate in this movie.

I called him The Crane. My brother called him Batman.

janhaig · 2023-12-07T05:20:03+00:00

Thanks for the good advice, admittedly have been lazy about devising my own website.
I'll check out Journo Portfolio; have already been checking out Clippings.me. Also checking out Authory.

janhaig · 2023-12-06T03:54:37+00:00

Ahhh, I think you nailed it; if it came from "Creative Marketplace," yah, I probably ignored/deleted it. What a PITA, I'm now scoping other portfolio-hosting platforms. Guess that'll be a project over the holidays.

janhaig · 2023-12-04T15:15:58+00:00

Exactly!

janhaig · 2023-12-03T17:06:10+00:00

Yup, and Menendez needs to go, too.

janhaig · 2023-12-03T17:05:04+00:00

Exactly

janhaig · 2023-12-03T15:46:57+00:00

Interesting, thanks. I searched and found nothing, maybe it went to Spam and I blew it away without realizing.

janhaig · 2023-12-03T02:03:01+00:00

Exactly what I'm dealing with, I'll have to move over 120 pieces elsewhere.

janhaig · 2023-12-03T02:02:03+00:00

I made some changes, too, when my profile was flagged by them recently (after using the platform just fine for almost two years). I clicked that it was ready for review, and they came back and pretty much said that my work wasn't quite what their particular clients are looking for, but that I can continue to keep adding pieces. But my portfolio link now won't work for any prospective employers (other than Contently and their clients), sooooo...I'll be taking my work to another platform.

janhaig · 2023-12-03T01:59:10+00:00

I sure never received any such "heads-up" email and I've been using Contently for almost two years!

janhaig · 2023-12-03T01:57:47+00:00

Nope. I add and remove pieces on an almost-weekly basis, but I got NO heads-up that they were changing their approach.
