Suggestions / Re: SCAM!!
« on: February 12, 2012, 05:18:34 pm »Message ID: 489881
I can't say for certain (haven't been able to cashout yet) but I'm still coming everyday so I trust them.  Plus if FushionCash was a scam I'm sure all the people posting in this Forum would be the first to point it out.  And seriously, how are they scamming you?  Most sites that are scams having you PAY MONEY to upgrade your account or buy referrals or something.  I have yet to see anything like that here.  If they scam me out of the 15 minutes I spend on this site to earn my $25, that's not exactly a huge loss unlike other sites that take your money.

Off-Topic / Re: pick one PANCAKE OR FRENCH TOAST????
« on: February 12, 2012, 12:28:35 am »Message ID: 489520
Depends if I have to make it or if it's there already made.

I love pancakes but we make them from scratch so it's time consuming in my opinion where as french toast is eggs, bread, and whatever else you'd like to add.  I haven't had either in a long time though so I'd greatly appreciate either at the moment.  Now I kinda want to make pancakes when I get up tomorrow.

Off-Topic / Re: MY FIANCE WANTS ME TO GET A FULL TIME JOB
« on: February 12, 2012, 12:25:46 am »Message ID: 489519
I have no experience in this field (single with no kids) so my opinion might not be all that valid.

Personally, I'd like to stay home with my kids if I had the choice.  Kids are amazing and I'm sure it's even more amazing when they are yours.  My mom has told me tons of stories about how when I was <insert age> I did <insert something>.  It's sorta embarrassing to hear these stories all the time, but then you realize that this person truly cares about you enough to remember this story.  I'd like to give that to my kids instead of having a sitter or someone else have these experiences.  In addition, what happens if the kid is at school and gets picked on?  I'd rather be there to greet them after school and talk to them about it then hear it hours later if at all.  My one friend came to my house and started crying about something that happened to her at school and explained how she told her parents when they got home from work but they (sorta) told her to get over it.  I'm not saying you'd be like them, but if a kid is hurt over something, it's better to be there for them immediately then when work gets out.

Now, as far as the finances go, I'd just like to point out that you do have a job.  It's not like you are just sitting at home not doing anything all day.  Generally moms do tons of work throughout the day and on top of that, you are going to a night job.  Obviously it's not enough in his opinion, but you aren't just dumping all the bills on him.  Paying for all that is going to have to factor in and if $9 is your starting salary, you'd almost be better off staying with your current situation and pulling a few extra shifts.

I'm kinda with vickysue on how it sounds like he wants his life to remain the same but hopes you'll change to make it easier.  If he wants to go back to school, he could take 1 or 2 courses at a time and still be fine.  It's not like he has to go back full time or anything.  Plus, does he think if you get a full time job that he can just quit and focus on school?  It doesn't sound like that would be possible even if you get a full time job so why have your kids lives, your life, and his life all change at the same time.  That just seems like a lot of stress to throw on a new marriage.

One question I don't think anyone has asked yet is do you guys really need the money or are you stable at the moment and he just wants to do a bit better?  You don't have to answer that, but it's something to think about.  There nothing wrong with wanting things to be better, but he should be the one trying to change first before saying you should.

I'd also like to point out the fact (at least when you posted this) that he's your FIANCE.  You aren't even married yet and he thinks things should change.  That kinda screams 'what the heck' to me but obviously I don't know everything about the situation.  If this is a soon to be new marriage, kinda worries me.  Again, I've never been married, so perhaps I'm wrong or I'm taking this whole thing out of context, but it just sorta bugs me when others think they can tell you what to do and you should do it.  I mean, heck, even if you both sit down and figure out that you working full time would be better, it's still up to you to do it.


As others have mentioned, you both REALLY need to talk.  In fact, you might even want to set a date with him on when you both can talk about all of this and kinda warn him you'll be researching these things so you both can figure this out.  That then gives him some time to do research as well to sorta support his side so it isn't like you're ambushing him with research to support yours.  You should also look at your bills currently and see if there is anywhere you could cut back to help save.  For instance, I don't know what you're feeding your kids, but when I was a baby, my mom said she bought actually vegetables, blended them up, poured it into ice cube trays and froze it, and fed us that instead of the jarred baby food.  And by using the ice cube trays, you can adjust the amount of food very easily.

I wish you the best with this situation and I hope you find the best outcome.

Payments / Re: Daily videos have been great !!!!!
« on: February 11, 2012, 11:07:34 pm »Message ID: 489503
I adore all the videos.  Even when there were only 2 or 3 a day it was great though I do appreciate the days when I do my PTC, email, and videos and manage a good 50+ cents before doing anything else.  Doubt it will last but it's still nice for the time being.

Off-Topic / Re: Survey's aren't fair
« on: February 11, 2012, 11:05:13 pm »Message ID: 489502
I agree with pretty much what everyone has said already.  If you respond quickly, you are more likely to qualify.  I've done a few where I get to gender or age and get kicked out so it isn't just you.  A lot of it is persistence cause eventually you will qualify, it just depends if you are willing to be rejected all those times before.

Off-Topic / Re: Xbox vs ps3 vs Wii which one do you like
« on: February 10, 2012, 11:47:03 pm »Message ID: 488993
I like them all for different things.  I started play Nintendo back when I was 3 on an SNES so I'm a big fan of the consoles they have.  So having a Wii gives me my Mario fix every so often.  Plus my friends own one as well and it's nice to be able to get four people all playing a game together.  I like the Xbox and Kinect a bit better for games that involve moving.  Dance Central, for example, will mark you down if you don't move your feet where as with the Wii I could get away with very little movement with some exercising programs while others I'd be running like a mad man and it wouldn't even pick up on me moving.  I also prefer the Xbox controller for shooters.  Though if Nintendo every made more games compatible with the Zapper, I'd gladly play those.  And I like my PS3 for my Action/Adventure/Hack Slash games.

Company wise, I'm a Nintendo girl more than anything else, but as far as which console I prefer of the newest generations, they all have their place in my collection.

Off-Topic / Re: How different are teenage boys from teenage girls? Do they do their chores?
« on: February 10, 2012, 02:52:36 am »Message ID: 488322
It seems to depend on how they are raised, their friends, what they listen to (shows, music, etc), and a whole bunch of other things.  Some of it is also that they believe it isn't suitable for their gender.  It seems like a lot of guys don't believe they should do dishes/laundry/cleaning/vacuuming but are completely fine taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, etc.  Plus, if the chore needs to be done often, they will be less likely to want to do it.  It also depends on if it just involves their stuff or others as well (i.e. cleaning their dishes or cleaning the dishes of the entire family).

I don't have any kids of my own, so I can't say for certain, these are just things I've noticed from conversations with friends and such.

Off-Topic / Re: Anyone use paint.net?
« on: February 10, 2012, 01:47:28 am »Message ID: 488314
What exactly do you mean by create layers properly?  Are you looking for a specific effect or what exactly? 

If you just want a blank layer, you can simply click Layer -> Add New Layer (Ctrl + Shift + N).
If you want something more specific, give me an example and I can try to help.

Off-Topic / Re: DO YOU LIKE TO CLEAN THE HOUSE?
« on: February 10, 2012, 01:37:26 am »Message ID: 488311
Depends on my mood.  Also depends on the kind of cleaning.  It mostly comes down to who's mess it is.

If I have to clean up my stuff (dishes, clothes, etc), then I don't really mind it.  I might not really want to do it at the moment, but I will get to it either that day or the next.  However, when I have to clean up someone elses mess (someone who can clean it up on their own), then I tend to get frustrated about cleaning.

For example, my sister was away all summer and our shared bathroom was clean the entire time.  Now though, there is hair in the drain, on the shower walls, on the floor around the trash can.  The mat in our tub has mold on it cause she doesn't pull it up when she gets out of the shower.  That I'm not looking forward to cleaning.

Off-Topic / Re: how long have you been a member

I joined back in November last year so not all that long.  Still, with only doing the bare minimum on this site I'm about halfway to a payout.  Not all that bad in my opinion.

Spinach.  At least the cooked kind.  In salads I have no problem with it but when it's mushy it just tastes horrible to me.

Off-Topic / Re: Things that tick you off..
« on: February 08, 2012, 07:46:00 pm »Message ID: 487624
People who don't read your question on question boards and just assume stuff.

I can't tell you the number of times I will explain what I'm trying to do in a paragraph, then in the next line ask my question, and yet still they manage to miss what I'm having trouble with.  I mean, it will be like:

"I'm writing my resume in Microsoft Word but I can't figure out how to....  I've tried to do....

So, what is the best way to handle spacing everything out?"

And the first response I get will be something like, "So, what program are you using?"  That really annoys me.  I understand they are trying to help and everything but I shouldn't have to pull teeth to get someone to read my entire post.

Payments / Re: Has anyone done a survey for a half hour then gotten the sorry you dont qualify
« on: December 16, 2011, 11:53:01 pm »Message ID: 462131
I hate when that happens.  I mean, why on earth would you make it seem like the person has moved on and then cut them off.  At the very least they should offer a progress bar at the top to alert the user that they are still qualifying or something.

That's why I tend to only do surveys on sites that give you something if you at least try, even if you don't qualify.  Normally it's so small compared to what you would've gotten had you been qualified, but at least I end up with something after losing a half hour of my life.
