Hmmm good info on keeping finches. We just have purple finches and goldfinches at our outdoor feeder. A lot less work!

greatly said!

Excellent, excellent tips! Would add that popularity takes time, and that daily or near daily posting will help tremendously!

Good info, and could lead to making a living without having to have a regular job.

Here's a fantastic article on CRITICAL READING: http://www.ehow.com/how_5193165_attack-critical-reading-section-effectively.html

these all work for being a good girlfriend, too.

Morgana, I can't help but notice that all of your comments (I checked the profile) are designed not only to pick at other authors work, but to tell other people that you have written the same piece. Trashing other peoples work to promote your own is very bad form. You would not appreciate it if others did this to your postings. You may not be aware of this, but some people can use events that are not related to their own lives to evoke tears. Ever cried at the end of a movie? If so, then you do not need to use a personal sense memory. What you are discussing is only one technique, taught to actors, we don't all work on stage, and we do not all have the kind of time needed to work on method acting.

This might work if you're putting on an act for the cop that stopped you for speeding,but it is not authentic. You must think of something sad that actually happened to YOU. You then use this "sense memory" to bring on the tears. You can't "scrunch up your face." In fact, you're not supposed to think about how you look at all. Please see my own article on this subject. Get some experience on which you can draw. Good luck!

I love seeing the wild finches outdoors on my feeders. Imagine having beautiful, sweet finches in my home year round! Your article provides excellent advice! Thanks!

I still have my hope chest 35 years later. Great article!
