Well it is always nice to start the day off good.

Mine kicked off with the realization that i could cash out here on gather, so i did just that! It took way longer than it did in the past, but in the end, 10 bucks is 10 bucks, and honestly i had fun getting there, so woohoo!

Today i have plans to run and work on the room a bit more. It is very cold out today, so i dont know how much work will be getting done because i have to cut outside...but we'll see.

Swagbucks is still on there rather large daily goal kick. I have to get to 100 today, and lately i havent had much luck with offers or surveys. I took a 40 minute survey yesterday and got told my answers looked "fishy" and i didnt get credit. bah! So i guess that means a lot of SBTV in my future. The nice thing about it is i can have it run and just click the next video when i walk by or whatever.

Anywho, i hope everyone is doing well. What's up with you today?

I've got a lot of papers to deliver today....and if my kid doesn't get moving, I'm going to leave him. Grr.

A marvelous day here......the temp is supposed to get up to 58 degrees! Needless to say, we won't be home much but rather out enjoying the wonderful weather! I'm waiting for hubby to get home, then we're off for the big share of the day.....maybe out to lunch, hit a couple of thrift stores, have our cruise appointment this afternoon and maybe, just maybe, we might stop by Lowe's to check out the washers and dryers!
Hopefully, you'll be getting some of the great sunshine soon!

I would have been mad about that survey. My mom spent like 25 minutes on one, one time and then suddenly it told her she didn't qualify for the survey, she was so mad I thought she lost her mind. She was screaming at the computer "I just took your beep beep survey! What do you mean I don't qualify? I just answered questions for 25 blanking minutes!!!!" My mom is a pretty chill person but she was pretty mad about that.
Ryan Reid Jan 18, 2013, 12:43pm UTC
yup thats about how i felt. And then the link to "customer service" was broken...how convenient

I took one a couple of days ago. Got to the end where the congratulations you just completed the survey screen flashed at me only to be followed by, sorry, we've already got enough surveys in your demographic. Survery support told me to suck it up (but not in those words) when I inquired as to how such a scenario was possible.

What I loathe even more is that one company asks questions for 5 to 10 minutes before simply saying sorry, we don't have a survey for you and will not give anyone the goodwill 1 swagbuck for trying.

Ryan... word to the wise: You might want to seriously considering going out and cutting that wood today. They're talking teens for highs next week. So if you think this is cold, you haven't seen anything yet! ;)

I have had a tough week this week. Was on bed rest most of the weekend. Had to call in M/T/W this week — all due to some rather nasty back spasms. I went to work yesterday and did alright, but think I may have overdone it as I could barely even move this morning. I'm sure hoping next week is better! Enjoy your weekend! :)
Marilyn M. Jan 18, 2013, 12:58pm UTC
...oops! "... seriously consider"... I hate when I make typo's!!! lol
Ryan Reid Jan 18, 2013, 1:49pm UTC
ah, typos happen.

It was about 17 here when i posted that lol. We'll see...
Nancy S. Jan 18, 2013, 1:49pm UTC
I never qualify for surveys there so I know how aggravating it is to spend time trying. I hope you can get through to customer service. That's a bunch of bull.

Congrats on your cash out. I guess to me right now hte longer it takes the less time I have to spend it as I save up for software and a breadmaker. The breadmaekr I want, is close to 300.00 but get mostly great reviews......
The software I want, 600.00
So I'm hoarding SBs and not cashing out til I am closer to having the money.
Amanda P. Jan 18, 2013, 3:58pm UTC
I haven't gotten to a cash out here yet, but I'm getting close. I'm close to a cash out on SB too.. might have to do some SBTV tonight myself.
Peter Joseph Swanson Jan 18, 2013, 4:13pm UTC
A cash out!
Karen E. Jan 18, 2013, 4:56pm UTC
Yes! Ten bucks is ten bucks! Good for you!
William M. Jan 18, 2013, 5:09pm UTC
Congrats on the cash out.
Olive Rossi Jan 18, 2013, 6:55pm UTC
Good for you! I had a good enough day today. Just hope that I am not getting sick again.

I drove to Lapeer to pickup my son to take him grocery shopping... called him when I left so he could get ready.. Well Past his exit, my mind was some where else when I got to it, had to drive to the next exit, about 10 mile down the road.. drive back to his exit and then to his apartment, I call him and tell him I m there, 15 minutes later he comes out. said he couldn't find him shoes. Should have had his shoes on before I got there, Does things like that a lot. you do them a favor and they take their time coming out.
Ryan Reid Jan 18, 2013, 9:16pm UTC
sounds like quite the long day! i know how you could have passed an exit if you were going down 69, it all looks exactly the same! i worked out in Lapeer for about a year a while back.
Rebecca P. Jan 18, 2013, 7:58pm UTC
Woohoo on your cashout. I'm due for one myself
Beth J. Jan 18, 2013, 9:48pm UTC
Working on stuff. I have over 21,000 email. working on lots of stuff. Congrats on your cashout
Carrie Marie P. Jan 19, 2013, 1:22am UTC
sorry you didn't get the credit. tasks to that to me sometimes too. ugh. the day is almost over here.. watching a movie and working on gather now.
Leah Christensen Jan 19, 2013, 2:53am UTC
Not much going on here. Needed to pick up a dress I had altered at the mall, and bought a new walet for my trip to NYC. A smaller one that I can put a few cards into, and go, without having to carry stuff around. People have been leaving American singles in tip jars up here, so everytime I see one, I buy it (CAD's worth more anyway!!) and add it to my collection. I'm up to $10. Now someone tell me. What can I buy in NYC for $10? I think for $10 I can stay in the best room at the Waldorf for about 59 seconds.

I haven't done SWTV lately. I need to start doing it again. I even run it on my iphone which I haven't done lately either.
