Keeping the Lines of Communication Open Anytime, Anywhere

Our oldest two kids have been out of the house for 5 and 3 years respectively. I don't have texting, so they're forced to communicate the old-fashioned way--smoke signals. I kid, no we have to talk. Sometimes we Facetime, and sometimes just via phone.

Anyway, I always say the kids channel each other. Because whenever one out of the house kid calls, the other OOTH kid will too. Sometimes at the same time. They know I am available to them anytime, anywhere. I may have to call back, but unless it's unavoidable I will stop what I am doing to talk. Keeping the lines of communication open is my most important mom-job. My Oldest Two Kids Always Call on the Same Day

But carrying less weight makes exercise easier. I'm more limber, agile and coordinated.  Read on Drugfree Arthritis Remedies for Computer Workers

Whats to do to Get Featured on Bubblews Front Page

I write for Bubblews and posts that hit the front page go platinum. But short answer to how to get there, I don't know just yet. I think I'm latching on though. For most of my time on Bubblews, I interacted on posts from my notifications feed. Then I started seeing high likes and page views on some and found they'd been on Bubblews front page. Having never been featured, I wondered how to achieve that. I analyzed the articles to see what mine might lack or what they had in common. I noticed some things.
