@Grecy  I am sure it would be alright if we share our posts from the forums since that is advertisements and if you get people to visit then it is worth it. I am not sure if you would get the money for getting visitors like you do with the blog posts but if they sign up under you then that is good. There are social media sites at the bottom of the pages so maybe it is supposed to be shared. Has anyone used these buttons at the end of the page yet? Maybe this is an easier way of sharing. I think I might try it and see what happens.

I have just started using Grammarly and it is great, although the paid version gives you better help, but I cannot afford to pay for anything like that right now. My big problem is using commas in my writing. I have always had this problem and do not see a change in the future. Maybe one day, I will make enough money that I can pay for the upgraded version to help me even more with my writing. This site does take some getting used to and I still have a lot to learn on it.

@LeeKa  We are going to miss you when you have your baby. It is a pleasure to interact with someone who is so positive and helpful. But I wish you all the luck and will enjoy the time we have with you for now.  I am going to be here more each day so that I can see my earnings grow. I am glad that you are getting closer and closer to getting to $10 before the end of the month. I know you can do it. I had forgotten about earning passive income from visitors to our posts. So that will encourage me to write a post and see how that goes.

Does that mean that if we did not finish a post, we cannot get into it to finish it also? I had started to create a post and I could not finish it so I saved the draft. Now, when I go to my dashboard and see my draft I have no way of getting back into it. It will not let me click on it and the status shows offline. I hope I can get into finish it. If not I guess I will just have to start another one until I can figure out how to finish the first one.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I really need to get a blog post done so that I can see what my earnings will be from that. I would like to reach $1 before next year. I need to be a little more active in here, but I have just lost some of my motivation. I love to read your posts @LeeKa as they help to get my motivation back. You have been such a big help and you are putting your all into this site and I commend you for that.  I love commenting on the forum and it is nice just like at FC since there are a lot of the same people so that helps to make it a great community.

I love Pixabay for the photos on my blog at least for now. They do have a wide selection and it is easy to find what you are looking for just by using the search on the site. Some of the photos are very good and I find it hard to believe that they are for free. Well unless you want to buy the person who did the photo a cup of coffee. Has anyone ever done that? I always wonder when I see it how much a cup of coffee is. I think it is a nice feature though since someone did a lot of work to create the picture we get to use for free.

There are so many things I want to learn and there does not seem to be the time in the day to do anything.

I have been trying to remember to vote up when I read a comment that was really helpful and gave some very good information. @LeeKa has been an extremely big help in getting to know this site and it is much appreciative. So has @Grecy. They have both helped to get these forums up and going so that we can have many topics to comment on to earn more points. I wish that the buttons were a little bit darker though so that they would be easier to see. Or maybe I am just getting old. LOL Not sure which it is, but I sometimes have to look real hard in order to find them.

I think if we vote down then the points will be taken away as this makes sense that they go up when you vote up. I still have a lot to learn about this site and I still need to make a blog post which I hope to do soon.

I love chicken too and there are very few recipes that I do not like with chicken in it. Chicken is such a versatile meat and can be used in so many different ways. I love fried chicken, lemon chicken, bbq chicken, chicken stir fry, chicken with rice, chicken and dumplings, and chicken salad. I like to try new recipes since the ones that I always use get old after a while and it is nice to experiment. Sometimes, I will just look to see what veggies I have and decide whether I want noodles or rice with it and just go from there to create something. I think it is fun to come up with a new recipe and have my children be the guinea pigs to try it out. Most of the time I can come up with a winner, but sometimes my daughter just cannot be won over. My son is not quite as picky.

@grecy  That is not weird at all. When we would have rice, whatever was left my mother and I would eat it with milk, sugar, and nutmeg and it was lovely. I have not had it in a long time though since I rarely have any rice left because my children love rich. I like the nutmeg with it because it has a nutty taste to it.

I love oatmeal too and will mix brown sugar into it and add some milk too. Cream of wheat is good with some brown sugar in it too. I like this once in a while. I am not much for cereals for some reason.

My mom always would make chicken and dumplings, but we would not eat it as a soup. My mom would use the pressure cooker to cook the chicken and then would season the water with bullion after she took the chicken out. We would use an egg noodle recipe for the dumplings and just drop them by spoon into the boiling water. She would then use flour salt and pepper to coat the chicken and then fry it. This is so good and my children love it too.

I would have to say that chocolate is another comfort food for me too. I could eat chocolate every day all day long if I could.

My sister does a lot of crocheting and sells it. She lives in Miami, Florida and it is quite hot there but she makes hats like skull caps and some slouch hats and people buy them up. She has a stand that she uses to sell from and she is always out of hats. You would not think that with the heat they would want to wear hats, but she says it is a fashion statement there. She tries to sell them online but has not been very successful at it. I told her if she lived closer to me, I would help her sell them. But of course she said she did not want to move back where I live.

May 9, 2016 at 7:18 am

@JoDee  Thank you for your prayers as well. I am not looking forward to the moving all of our stuff part for sure and I wish it was all over and I was in my new house with everything on packed. If I only had a magic bottle to rub and a genie would appear to grant me 3 wishes. But alas, there is not a magic bottle. If I were rich, I would have someone do it for me.

@grecy  I am glad to hear that you also will have a next chapter and I do wish you luck. You are a hard worker and I am sure that you will succeed in this new chapter in your life. We will have to celebrate online when everything works out for both of us!!! This move is definitely for the best. I want to move out of the city I live in because it is gone down hill and is not a good place anymore. I want my children to be safe and have a shot at a better education. I want them to succeed where I have not so they can have a better, richer life than me. It is a chance to start over and to live closer to the family that we have left also.

I am glad that we can make you feel even a tiny bit better with our comments. I know it is hard to deal with lack of money and you feel guilt because you cannot help. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and catch our breath to remind ourselves that we cannot solve everybody else’s problems. It is even harder to accept when it is our family who needs our help and we are unable to. You have to be less hard on yourself and realize that you are working hard to try to help them. You are doing everything that you can to relieve them of their burden, but you are not a miracle worker which we tend to think that we need to be when it comes to our family because we feel obligated to them.

I hope that you can come out of this mood that you are in and can find a way to relieve your stress, so that you are not risking your good health. I will send you another hug. ((((@grecy))))

@peachpurple  I can understand that was hard to give them baths. My Bella does not like to get a bath either and it is hard to get in the tub when she uses all her muscles to stay in one place. She is getting too heavy to pick her up, so that makes it all the more difficult to give her a bath. Once she is in there she is fine, it is just the process of getting her in there.

@LeeKa  The 300 bonus credits get added to your credits towards your cash out. I know they do have the option of using your cash to buy advertising on there, but I do not do that. I need the cash instead of the advertising. I know that many people choose to cash out at $5 because they are afraid to wait in case the site goes down or away. But it does not take me that long to reach $10 and I figure the 300 credits is an extra few cents that I do not have to acquire by clicking the ads. The 300 probably does not really add up to much but it is better than nothing.

May 9, 2016 at 6:55 am

@LeeKa  Yes Mintvine and Fusion Cash are US. I am also a member of Global Test Market but do not qualify for their surveys. A lot of the survey sites rely heavily on your demographics to qualify you. They seem to always be looking for others besides me. There are so many survey sites out there that it is overwhelming to decide which ones you are going to use. So I just stick to the ones that I consistently get qualified for surveys and am able to reach cash out.
