Yes, I received an email exactly like what you’ve described and my blood boiled, LOL.I proceed to answer him that my last name is not even visible, and I don’t know anyone who lives in another country. However, I decided that I won’t be replying to an idiot so I just deleted right away.

That was such a ridiculous email and you can smell “spam” 100 miles away! I can’t believe he is sending the exact email to users on this site like that.

I was active at first and spent around two hours or more getting used to the site and explore my options. I also paid attention to the points that I earned, once it stopped, I stopped too. Last time, I checked in, which was three days ago, I posted in four forums, then the points stopped on me. I don’t see the reason to carry one, since it was not even a penny.

I have tendonitis in my wrists and I can’t contributing for too long without some sorts of incentives.

I have wondering the same about those points underneath our names. So far, I haven’t seen anyone with another ranking other than newbies yet.

As for voting up, I don’t always remember to do it, but will pay more attention when I see a helpful/useful/informative comment.

Thank you @Lee Ka for the information, and thank you @Ruby3883 for the “kindness deed” suggestion! It doesn’t hurt to be nice 🙂

Some sorts of discipline are needed to teach the children, and spanking is old! Though I don’t totally or completely think it is so bad if the spanking is not in a physical abuse form. A light tap on the bottom usually does it well enough to bring the child back from his tantrum.

Sent them to their room or corner should be sufficient enough for me. I have seen children who were out of control in public and the parents have no way of discipline their children using their physical strength to keep the children managed.

Nowadays we have lost all control of being able to discipline our children, but if something went wrong, the parents are also getting blamed!

I don’t remember seeing Word Count when I submitted my post; and have asked support if it is possible to integrate it in the submission form. The answer was they will look into it. It would be nice to have with spell check too. However, since the site is still new, I think we should just use other sources to do the counting for us.

I usually use Word processing to write, then copy and paste in the editor of the site. That way I also have a copy for myself, and don’t have to worry about it later or looking for it on the internet!

I can barely reach .30 cents yet leave alone $1 dollar. It is all my fault though because I am not active. I need to have my priority list straighten out. I am also kind of waiting to see if anyone has been paid yet. I know the early bird gets the worms, but I have been burn so many times that it stuck inside of me.

For those that already passed the threshold, congratulations to all! Keep up the good work.

Now my turn: I want to find someone to re-do my deck at an affordable price. It needs it since it is on the bare wood now after so many brutal winter seasons.

I also want someone to fix the wall in my laundry, again at a price that I can afford.

I want to be able to make enough money this month to pay some bills, but I also have my doubt that I would even reach my estimate amount.

I want all of these nagging pain and ache to stop

I want the sun shines everyday.

Overall, I want to thank God for this day!

I am still multitasking to the max, but they all have their orderly level. I run the dish washer , then wash a load of laundry, then dry a load of laundry, then run back to check in my laptop, eating a bite, drinking a sip, back to typing. LOL..Is this multi-tasking?

I have the need to be busy with my hands even when I am all done with my work online for the time being. I do need to take breaks in between if I don’t want my tendonitis to get bad!

Congratulations to @Lee Ka and @Grecy Garcia on the jobs well done! I have nothing good to share, except for the fact that I am healthy and the weather is getting nicer to hang around outside more. I think I am sun deprived and easily get droopy when it is gloomy because that is when my bones got so painful that I can’t do much.

Ok, I am going to stop now before I ruin your ladies’ good news!

I check for store coupons every week, and download them onto my app, the Kroger app, so when I go grocery shopping, I don’t have to remember to bring coupon.

I haven’t clipped paper coupon for a long time, since it is a pain to go buying the newspaper, cut out coupon, and carry them in my purse. I save money on buying store brand too after I compare the ingredients of what I am buying!

I only growing herbs in containers since I live in a condo, and having land isn’t their cup of tea, plus they have so many rules about growing thing like that.

I used my herbs for cooking, marinating the meat, poultry, and seafood. When summer ends, I collect the herbs, specially basil, dry them, and crumble them up to bottle for future uses. I don’t need to buy any more basil for the year.

Some herbs though are better fresh than dried.

I have terrible dry skin, especially in winter; and I have used many different types and brands lotion. The one that seems to work for me is St. Ive Shea Butter and Oatmeal.

About three weeks ago, I ran into Argan Body Oil, and I bought it to try. The scent is very pleasant and it leave my skin so soft. It also made in the USA, and for 4 liquid ounces, the cost was only $4.99. I can only find this oil at Burlington Coat Factory. I haven’t looked on Amazon or eBay yet.

I am on Swagbucks and GiftHulk doing different tasks. The earnings are low, but they add up quickly and I get paid many times already.

I also signed up at MTurk, but like @JoDee Stout that site confused me, and I haven’t pick up on any task there. The paid seems so low too and one of these days I will have enough patience to figure this site out.

I usually use my own photos, and when I am stressed out, I like to play with them in Pixlr and PicMonkey. I also have Photoscape installed on my laptop for quick fun or just to watermark my photos.

With these three editors, I don’t need to know much about photoshop. I just create my own images and chose colors that match my mood at the moment, lol. I am not technical either and all the jargons gave me a headache.

I have a mutt, half pit bull and half boxer! On the contrary to common reputation, my pit bull is very sweet and behaving quite well. He would let us do whatever we want to him when he is sleepy, and adapts to changes like charm.

He will be 2 years old the end of June. He has an intense love for toys and treats, but prefer to be with human when we are around. He also doesn’t mind his kennel when he is home alone though.
