Update Update Read All About It (Giggle)

It's been almost 4 months since I updated this blog.

Part of the reason is that I just don't have much time for PTR these days -- or surveys, or apps, or traffic exchanges, or safelists, or paid to click, or or, LOL --so I am not clicking, surfing, etc nearly as much as I used to (no clickie, no surfie, no surveys, no submitting upgraded ads, no this, no that, no the other thing equals no money, or at least not as much as I was making online--which was still peanuts compared to what I make offline!)

Many of my posts are saying "this site has paid me this much" or "I am waiting at this site for this much for this long" or "this site hasn't paid me in forever" and when you aren't very active you aren't reaching payout very often so there's nothing to post.

I actually started to do one of those "who has paid me in blah blah blah" posts a few days ago and realized that it would take me literally hours to retrieve all the information since I haven't updated consistently since 2016. I literally said the hell with this I have better things to do LOL and shut down the page.

. I do still enjoy clicking/surfing, and I really LOVE taking surveys--but I work full time now and my job is very physically demanding. By the time I get home every night (anywhere from 9:45 pm to 10:30 pm) I have generally walked anywhere from 9600 to 12000 steps and all I want to do is have my dinner, pet my cats, and go to sleep.

I bought a Kindle recently with Amazon gift certificates that I earned doing PTR, surveys, etc and I do a bit of clicking on my breaks/lunch 1/2 hour at work but not enough to make payout very often anywhere.

July was yet another month of not submitting my upgraded ads--here's hoping that August will be different since I now have money to spend on upgrades and affiliate pages.

That's another change in my life -- I am finally making decent money (well, decent for this area) around $2000.00 per month before taxes. There's a trade-off though in that I don't have the time or energy to be on the computer all the time.

Once I evicted my roommate (more on that later) there was no internet access at home, and the three hours of computer access per day at the library didn't really give me much time to click (oh let's be honest here I'd rather play games on Facebook, LOL).

The potential roommate evaporated into thin air when we discovered that she was allergic to my cats, and I decided NO MORE ROOMMATES EVER unless and until I get a significant other.

I'm also trying really hard to get healthy -- walking a lot (used the rest of the Amazon gift certificates for a FitBit which I am actually using), taking the stairs instead of the elevator 9 times out of 10, eating 'better for me' food (have given up soda--it's been 33 days--and ice cream--22 days--completely, cut way down on chocolate), eating regular meals not waiting all day and then pigging out.

Where I am Waiting For Payout (April 2017)--LINK GRAND

Only one site that hasn't paid me, and that's probably a first for this blog.

Link Grand. I requested $5.00 on 1/3/2017, it's now 4/23/2017, so almost 4 months. Yes I've contacted the owner twice and tried today (TWICE) to contact him again BUT a funny thing happened on the way to the contact (see below)

This site can’t be reached support.linkgrand.com refused to connect. Search Google for support linkgrand ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

110 days and counting with no way to contact the owner. I also find it very odd that every time I close the page, I have to log back in, even if I've been gone from the page less than 30 seconds.

Being a lifetime premium member is all well and good, BUT if I can't get paid and can't contact the owner, the upgrade is pretty much worthless except for the fact that I earn twice what a free member does for each click. Earning 2x is all well and good, but if you can't get paid, and can't contact the program owner, and can't reverse the payout request, it's worth less than Monopoly money!!

Thanks For Your Patience With Me, Gail

So I have a bad case of IDIOT today combined with severe RABBIT BRAIN.

What is RABBIT BRAIN, you ask? RABBIT BRAIN is when my mind hops from one thing to another without stopping for breath. It also doesn't understand half of what it is seeing, because it's too busy hopping all over the damn place like a RABBIT with a bad speed habit!

Yesterday, I was convinced that the multi-site memberships at the Polar Bear Family of sites were the same price for SIX sites that they were for FIVE sites, and I asked the program owner to give me an upgrade in the sixth site for FREE (since I had paid for the five site upgrade back in December 2016)

Only problem with that plan is that the ad I was referencing didn't include the sixth site. I paid for a FIVE SITE upgrade, and I got a FIVE SITE upgrade. The program owner didn't owe me even one little thing but it took TWO DAYS for that to percolate through RABBIT BRAIN.

I'm going to try to slow down the brain a little. Turtle Brain, maybe? Better to be a bit slower in reading and then actually comprehending what I am reading? So, thanks for being patient with an IDIOT, Gail.

Where I am Waiting For Payout (January 2017)

Dream Mails: There are 1 requests in front of you. Your request for 2.50 Payza is 36 day(s) old.

Showcase PTR: There are 5 requests in front of you. Your request for 2.99 Payza is 59 day(s) old.

(Showcase is actually almost 4 months old because I had to re-request after the first program owner lost her PayPal account--I had been waiting for 58 days on the PayPal request and have now been waiting 59 days on the Payza request....new owner though so I am being patient for once in my life LOL).

Both paid
