I think most survey sites (except panel sites) will do this periodically as they're determined if the originators of the surveys have met their quota or not. Unfortunately, it's something you will have to understand the risk.

Off-Topic / Re: Building a house

I don't have the skillset to build a shed from scratch let alone a house, but I bought my current house. Lots of stress with the inspections, sign documents and cleanup work afterwards. The first few months were particularly stressful making the home cozy. I wish I could buy a newer home, but they're more expensive. I'm comfortable now, but hate the process.

IKEA can occupy me for quite a while along with Michaels.  Places like Target/Walmart use to, but I skip a lot nowadays as I frequent so often.

I like strong vivid bright colors like yellow, red and orange. I use to like blue and purple, but I got so much now it doesn't stick out.

I know there is a Microwave cook book that get's panned or made fun of on Amazon, but I only use Microwave to the extent mainly for reheating items and usually the food isn't comparable cooking other ways.

Yes, I can do this sometimes with certain musicals, war epics and a few trilogies. Of course, I can watch over and over again, but not continuously in one sitting, but with spaces.

The 80's or 70's I have particular favoring to even today. They're definitely classics in my library and felt more unique than movies that proceeded afterwards, which felt sometimes like a copycat or extension of.

I have a similar revelation when I had my first fish tacos. I really enjoyed them and always perk up when I see them on a menu. Of course, I haven't found as a good fish taco since and everyone seems to do it slightly different on me.

I was disappointed with a Scotts brand, but I guess it was expected for the price I paid. After my experience, I became loyal to only a select few and certain types as I want to enjoy soft comfort, but one that still won't tear up so quickly. I also feel bad with company if it's cheap and wasteful.

Too many scenarios. Each of us weigh in on a certain tolerance for different cases and as others have mentioned, it's dependent on the mood you're in. I will get more agitated if I'm in a rush regardless. If I'm in a positive mood, I might be more willing to wait.

It was warm today. It was nice sitting nearby the window and just relaxing while feeling the warmth. I did take a walk and it was relaxing. I'm in cooler weather, so it was appreciative to have this sometimes.

It's a hit or miss and something it's a lot to do with timing and networking. When finishing college, I was in a market that was very sour, so I took what I could and connected with people to hopefully be kept in the loop on other opportunities. I do worry if something happened with my current line of business if I have a fallback, but I do have to consider on leaving things to chance and a positive attitude.

I haven't done a survey in a while, but I definitely would be peeved. There were other gimmicks I felt prey too, but being promised something on a survey and not getting something is wrong. It's like a similar sensation to erroring out or not getting credit.

I am a fan of ebooks - especially the ePub format. I love the concept of having all the books at one place at my disposal. Sadly, not everything is in the ebook format and I still have to rely on buying a paperback at the very least. Also, if I am picking something up at the library, their ebook variety is limited.

I have both a Samsung Galaxy S5 and an iPhone 6. Of course, only one I use partly for work purposes too. I will probably get a new phone in a year or so, as I really wear them both down and prone to dropping them.
