Photos

by KathrynR1402Comment Published at 14:3314:332 comments2 comments58 Visits58 VisitsReport

Not sure if this is the right place to post this (please let me know if it's not!) but I have uploaded quite a few photos since being on Minti and wondered if there is (or is planned to be) any way of managing them all? I like putting things in subdirectories so I dont have to scroll through as many names. Especially as most of mine start with my kids names! I can go a bit cross-eyed trying to see the one I'm after sometimes LOL!

Thanks!

reported advice

by NgairiComment Published at 21:2221:221 comments1 comments54 Visits54 VisitsReport

As I have not had an advice reported or anything, I was wondering what happens to the article after it has been decided that it is against pollicy etc? Does the person who wrote it get it back to reword or do they have to rewrite all over again?

I also put this in bulletin board so if you reply there, son't have to here as well. Just not sure where to put the question.

The way I vote on Minti articles

by IzzyComment Published at 05:1005:102 comments2 comments62 Visits62 VisitsReport

I was just looking around the advice section for certain things and noticed something - some people write advice about something they have no direct (or indirect) experience in. To me, this is an automatic ground for voting "neutral". 

Minti is "powered by parents", so I expect that when I look for advice, that I would get advice from parents who have been through it. It lets me in on what they did to cope, and what they have been through, which in turn helps me in dealing with the same thing.

I am not against people sharing what they saw on TV, or what they read in the magazines, or saw online - but please, share some experiences with it, be it from a friend of a friend of a friend - at least that's a real life experience.

If someone wrote an advice based on what they researched online, that's minimally useful to me. I could have done the research myself.

This is my opinion.

Just wondering if anyone can help me....all these clever people can put more than one graphic in the same blog, article, or lounge, or message. I can't, if i put one, then go to put another, the first one disappears, can anyone tell me what i'm going wrong? I've tried for months and nearly pulling my hair out.

Many thanks Janice

Watch List

by KathrynR1402Comment Published at 15:3615:361 comments1 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

Hi! Am I the only one - my watch list does not include activity from all my friends blogs. They seem to be included on my watchlist configuration, but I've just manually checked and some people have posted recently and they were not on the latest watchlist. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Not a parenting Q & A....That's why it's in General!!!

by GypsieComment Published at 05:2405:243 comments3 comments81 Visits81 VisitsReport

Has anyone else noticed the NEW advertisements on Minti.

For example....any column on the right hand side...maybe under your "Friends List '

or in any other group you visit. Mainly on the right hand side to fill the space.

Don't tell me..I'm the only one...or that...It's been there for ages...because I've only just noticed it.

Anyone...Anyone.....

A little input please....

  Hi, I’m a Society and Culture student in my last year at school in Australia and as part of the course, it is required that the Personal Interest Project (PIP) is completed. It would be appreciated if you could fill in this survey I recreated online which will help me with my PIP.

Not sure where to put this, but....

You know how there's the symbols up the top of where you write this and there is one of a mountain, and you can chose an emotican (spelling ) i think there should be a few more added.

I like the hugs one. Has anyone else got any ideas? This is just a thought.

Movie Alphabet Game

by GypsieComment Published at 02:0702:0714 comments14 comments81 Visits81 VisitsReport

Just for something different....and keep General alive

Simple really....just list movies in Alphabetical order.

Q, X, Y & Z can be mised if necessary.

Movies starting with "A" or "The " can either be used as "A" or "T" movies,

or you can use the starting letter of the second word.

Now I know it's easy for you to list a movie for every letter..but there's no fun in that,

let others have a go. I'm not sure it will work correctly on this messageboard...

probably best to click " Reply to this message/person " each time to keep it in order.

OK...Let's start.

A Mother's Love

by Libby24Comment Published at 01:3301:331 comments1 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport
                                            

What Is A Mother?
By Helen Steiner Rice

It takes a Mother's Love
to make a house a home,
A place to be remembered,
no matter where we roam.

It takes a Mother's Patience,
to bring a child up right,
And her Courage and her Cheerfulness
to make a dark day bright.

It takes a Mother's Thoughtfulness
to mend the heart's deep 'hurts,'
And her Skill and her Endurance
to mend little socks and shirts.

It takes a Mother's Kindness
to forgive us when we err,
To sympathize in trouble
and bow her head in prayer.

It takes a Mother's Wisdom
to recognize our needs
And to give us reassurance
by her loving words and deeds.

It takes a Mother's Endless Faith,
her Confidence and Trust
To guide us through the pitfalls
of selfishness and lust.

And that is why in all this world
there could not be another
Who could fulfill God's purpose
as completely as a MOTHER!
