surveys are awful.  More times than not the only ones I qualify for are ones that deal with food shopping.  I can't stand the ones that you waste all that time, get half-way or most of the way through one only to get one lousy penny at the end for all the time you wasted.  Sometimes, like with the mobile games, you don't even get the promised amount.

At nine posts max per day that leaves four days of the month you need.  I usually make a scheduled on my calendar (like an appointment) and repeat it each month.  Usually I show up at two weekends a month to make the 30 post requirement.

Even worse when people go up in arms over illegals, fighting for their 'rights' in America but care nothing about the unsettling, growing amount of homeless veterans who are citizens and fought for this country and even the ones who are not homeless, some are certainly not receiving the care they need.

Yes, I've gotten them.  Read them a zillion times and still don't get them.  Whoever writes these things apparently doesn't understand the simplest form of explanation is the easiest to understand.

It's true it's easier to find rotten people than good, but they are out there.  I was lucky enough to have such awesome friends from childhood that we all stayed together to this day.  Not everyone changes at the drop of a time.  Honest, good people don't.  We are out there and people shouldn't loose hope we don't exist.

Truth, if it hurts, work through the pain together.

The old 'under the mattress' seems to work...until you have to change sheets.

Looking forward to it though I'm not sure how they will make it work since 3 pretty much has a finale to the whole story.  Hopefully it will be just as good but I'm also hoping it's not 'we've run out of ideas and since the TOY STORY franchise has made money let's just make another one of those'.  Sadly, this seems to be the case in Hollywood these days.

Off-Topic / Re: do your kids play to many video games

« on: May 28, 2019, 04:02:00 am »Message ID: 1277169

I place a time limit on when the kids can play a video game.  That time only increases when it rains.  If I catch them doing it when they aren't supposed to I take away the game console, that includes their phone if that is what they are using to play during a 'non-playing hour'.

I've never boiled water in a microwave.  I'm a tea drinker and when I've got to boil water, even for soup, I put it on the stove.  Yes, a microwave is faster, but I don't trust it to properly boil water.

Off-Topic / Re: Have you ever heard of Instacart?

« on: May 28, 2019, 03:55:57 am »Message ID: 1277167

Honestly I wouldn't bother.  Instacart has major issues with their software and wherever there's a glitch some how they have no good way to effectively work through it or communicate for the customer benefit. On top of that, I've tried it to see if certain products at grocery stores (They mainly use Whole Foods) would be delivered, however if the store doesn't have the item in stock instacart just leaves the product out of your order (but does not refund your money for the item on the grocery list). Instacart also raises the price on the product from the store price. Do yourself a favor and if you have order a delivery, order directly from the store and don't use instacart.

There are so many PTC sites that a lot of times it's hard to find a sponsor just for your site, especially if a company has already invested in so many to begin with that it is no wonder, just like with physical stores, websites are shutting down one by one.  Hopefully FC will be around long after the others have gone.
