My first pet was a rat and she was the sweetest little thing. She would crawl up my shoulder and burrow under my hair at the back of my neck to go to sleep. She would also lick my ear while she was on my shoulder. She was a very good pet and I loved her very much. I had to put her to sleep because she developed cancer, but she had a good life.

I have a Pit Bull right now and she is  almost 11 months old. She is so sweet and very loving. Her name is Bella and she is all brown with golden eyes. My profile picture is Bella. I am very glad that I have her and the kids love her too. She loves all of us and is a pleasure to be with.

If I had a time machine, I would go back in the past. I would go way back to my grandmother’s time when she was a young married woman. I think it would be great to be back then and see how they lived and to know what her and my grandfather were like. I never got to meet my grandfather as he had passed away even before my father married my mother. My grandmother died when I was six, but there are some memories of her that I still have. I still remember the poem that she taught me and I hold on to it till this day.

I would have liked to get to know her better and to learn all the things that she learned over the course of her life. It was a much simpler time and a lot of times I feel like I was supposed to be around then instead of now.

There are many people that I would like to talk to that are not here anymore and it is hard to choose just one person. But, I would have to say my mom because there are so many questions that I want to ask her that I never got a chance to. I would have loved to have had her by my side when I was pregnant and while I was taking care of my children as babies. I never asked her questions about her pregnancies and what it was like to take care of tiny babies. I do not remember a lot of my childhood and I would like to ask her about things like my behavior and other such things.

I would tell her how much I love her and still need her in my life even though I am in my 40’s. I would say that I miss her every day and have really not gotten over her passing. I would give her a big hug and hold on to her forever, not letting her go.

@Grecy  I am so sorry and you are in my thoughts. I pray that you will find the peace you need and the comfort to relieve your pain. I send you many hugs and a shoulder to lean on. 🙁

@ruby3881  I am glad that I am not the only one that feels this way. I am relatively new to online work and it is hard to know which sites are trustworthy or not. Unless for I know for a fact or from experience, that a site is not trustworthy then I will not say anything against the site. I was a little discouraged at the beginning, but that is because I was not seeing the potential and now I have a different view. It is also nice to know that there is someone of like mind who has so much experience. It is encouraging and I hope other people will begin to see the potential here so that it can sustain the site for a long time.

When we were children, my dad would give us all the pennies that he would have each day. We would save it in our banks and wait for them to get full. We would then count them out and put them in wrappers to take and put in our bank accounts. This was how he taught us to save money. After my nieces were born he would do this as well. He would save the pennies in a big jar and then when they were old enough to help him count them out that is what they would do together when they came to visit. He used the money to buy them savings bonds. This brings back memories.

When I had a job, I used to have cash all the time and that is how I would save my change. Then when I lost my job I had to use the money that I had saved up for other things. I do not have credit cards anymore since I went bankrupt so I have to use cash or my debit card.

I wish I would have started 20 years ago. Maybe then I would not be in the state of mind I am now. I used to write poetry but I never really did anything with and most times I never let other people read it. I find writing online is so much easier than giving myself on a piece of paper for someone to read in person. A lot less stressful if I am rejected. I do not like rejection, but if it is anonymous so to speak it is much easier to take. I figure if someone reads my blog and do not like it then I really do not care, but if it was in person, I would be more upset. I am just weird that way. I figure at least I did not invest money to lose and I do other things while I am in here on the forums so I am only losing a little time if this site does not make it.

I love that you think all this happens while you are sleeping. I would have to agree. I mean how can two kids generate so many dishes and clothes to wash. I think there are evil elves that come to the house and mess it up while we are sleeping. It only makes sense, right? No, I don’t think that 24 hours is enough time in the day to accomplish everything that I want to or that needs to be done. I am not sure if having more time would really make a difference though. Maybe I just need better time management skills to go along with it. I guess we just have to be happy with what we get done in the time we are allotted.

I do not have a problem with my name. Sometimes, I feel uncomfortable telling other people my name. I am not sure why, but when I do it feels like it doesn’t belong to me. I am not sure if that makes sense but that is how it feels to me. I do not use my real name on most sites except for FB. I use the same username on all my sites unless they automatically use my email address. I came up with my username because it was the name of my first pet and it is unique enough that I usually do not have to come up with numbers to go with it.

@Grecy  You will be the first person I let borrow a book. 🙂  I probably will never have my own bookstore as they are probably going to be a thing of the past because people want ebooks instead of real books. But one never knows.

I am sorry that you are in pain and I have read your blog post. I am glad that you shared it with us and I know the pain that you are going through. It is never easy to lose someone who you consider a dear friend and even harder to lose them in the way that you have. One can never truly understand the reasons behind what another person does because we have not walked in their shoes. There are no words that will make it easier for you . Only time will help to lessen your pain, but in the meantime know that your friends online are here for you. All my prayers to you and a virtual hug.

I have not read this book, but I can see how thinking positive thoughts can help to change your way of thinking and will create more positivity around you. I have always been a negative person and it is often hard to believe that positive things can happen to me. This book sounds like a very interesting read and I will have to put it on my list of books to read. Thanks for the suggestion.

May 14, 2016 at 9:44 pm

I really do believe this since I tend to be negative about things in my life and I usually attract negative things to me. I try not to but sometimes, you get bogged down by the negative people around you like those that you work with. I am a type of person who picks up on the energy and feelings of other people around me and sometimes, I feel like a sponge soaking up other people’s bad energy. I need to learn to push it away and not let myself get trapped in their attitude.

May 14, 2016 at 9:32 pm

I know you can do it @dawnwriter. I was working a little slow in here too because of the low blog post rate, but I am now active except for blog posts. I am sharing other people’s blog posts though and being active in the forums. I just cannot think of anything to write yet and I have not had too much time to sit down and just write. I am now at $2.754 and I hope to be able to reach $3 today. So I wish everyone good luck in reaching your daily goals.

I like the bonuses there to especially when I get credits or banner impressions. I hope that it ends up getting me some referrals because I am not good at getting them myself. I do not really have a lot of friends who would be interested in online work. It is hard but I find it fun even if I spend most of the day online. I can do it whenever I feel like and it does help to pay a portion of my monthly bills. I just need to find that one method of turning it into a full time income.

May 14, 2016 at 8:50 pm

@ruby3881  I think it is worth while to check it out and see if it is something that is going to be a legit source of income. How else do new sites gain momentum if there are not people who test it out for themselves. I know a lot of people want to wait until others have been paid, but it takes users to use the site in order for those others to see the rewards from the site. I do not mind since I am learning a lot and I am practicing my writing. Each endeavor turns to experience and it is what we take from that experience that makes us grow as individuals.  I have other sites that I work on for a fraction of a penny and do just fine, so I am going to give this site a chance. Who knows, it might just work out in the end to be prosperous for us.

May 14, 2016 at 8:44 pm

Congratulations to everyone who received a bonus for their posts. Great job and I hope that you continue to be rewarded for your hard work. I think this will help others to realize the potential here for hard work and quality posts. I know that I am realizing the potential here and have not given up. Although I do need to write some more posts. I have been sharing it every chance I get as I see this as an important part of earning and growing the site.
