Off-Topic / Re: How many kids do you have or plan to have?

I have a 12 year old step daughter who has called me dad since she was 6.  My wife has had 3 miscarriages which was pretty difficult for us.  The fertility doctor has pinpointed the issue and it can be resolved when we have more money.  Health insurance doesn't cover fertility for us.  In any case I'lll always love my wife and my step daughter as my own.

Debate & Discuss / Re: Im not getting pay for surveys....

Yeah I'm amazed at all the people making big money on this site.  I try to a single survey and it states that you have to show interest in at least 2 offers before you can do the survey and then it sprials out of control.  I did about 10 surveys/pages of repeating the same info only to not get the original survey or any credit.  A lot of these offers are bait and switch.  Obviously, some people are smarter than the system or have figured out something I haven't.  Best of luck to everyone, I'm not mad at those who are doing better than myself.

Off-Topic / Re: Does anyone have a deaf animal?

I wouldn't mind having a deaf pet.  Something about animals with one blue eye and one different color eye are usually deaf.  Not sure if that is true or not.  Glad that there are people like yourself that are willing to take in animals with special needs.

I like parrots and all, but the whole scurvy thing just makes it not worth being a pirate.  Anyway, I'm sure I could get a ton of booty by showing off my samurai skills.

Off-Topic / Re: Any Southeastern Skiers? Yeah, it's Summer, but I can't wait for Winter

Good grief......wash your mouth out... lol..I'm in Oregon and we haven't even begun to have summer yet.  So far I think we have had ONE day over 80 degrees.  Today and tomorrow might be close but sunday is supposed to be about 67 then back up close to 80 for the 4th and a couple of days after that.   

That sounds great!!  Fall is really my favorite time of the year as the temperature is just right 60's-low 70's.  Hot weather is not fun for me by any means.  Splashing around in a pool all Summer isn't worth the trade off of skin cancer 20 years down the road.

I clicked on several of the offers and have completed memberships and surveys, but it won't do anything when I click on the submit button.  I sent a support ticket, but I'm sure the site is inundated at the moment.  Didn't think it was just me.

I was born in Williamsburg, VA and now I live in Chesapeake, VA so thats about 70 miles away.  I lived in Mississippi for 10 years as a kid, but you always come back to where your roots are.

Over.  It's closer to you when it's over the roll obviously.  Plus when the roll is under you can't see what might be on the back of the roll as your tearing it off.....perhaps a spider waiting to bite.

FusionCash / Just curious, why do all surveys ask if you are Hispanic?

« on: July 01, 2011, 11:45:08 am »Message ID: 377896

Not sure if I'm posting this question in the right board.  I noticed that all surveys ask for your race/ethnicity from a list and then seperately they ask if you are of Hispanic origin.  Is this some qualifier/disqualifier?  I really dislike having to divulge my race/ethnicity on surveys or job forms.  What in the world do they do with this information?  I am caucasion by the way and don't mind stating this when I feel it isn't being used against me.

Off-Topic / Re: who is your favorite author

« on: July 01, 2011, 08:27:40 am »Message ID: 377728

Dean Koontz and Stephen King are my favorite authors.  I have read most Dean Koontz books, but I have only read 4 Stephen King novels.  Stephen King is much darker and Koontz usually is more inclined to have an uplifting message.  Very different authors and not sure who my favorite is at this time.

My family has nearly eliminated soda from our diet, though I prefer Coke over Pepsi.  Not a big difference to me, but my wife will only drink Pepsi.  Cherry Pepsi specifically.  I wish they still made Pepsi Blue, berry flavored Pepsi that sold about 10 years ago for a brief time.

That is a tough deal, hope it all works great for you when you go back next January.  Worst case scenario you will be taking medication long term, but you will be alive and that is what matters.  My wife's dad died from diabetes when she was 12 because he didn't take the pill he was supposed to every day.  Keep a positive outlook no matter what the outcome and my prayers go out to you.

I'm having an issue with the 5 dollar sign on bonus as well.  I clicked on a few offers that I was interested in and pressed the Submit button at the bottom of the page, but nothing happens.  Everywhere else I click works so it's not likely a problem with my computer.  Any helpf would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
