Al_Bobid How about a relaxing waterfalls... Or a aerial view of a small inhabited island. Maybe even a picture of a forest at autumn. Nothing is more relaxing than a picture of a great smile form someone you love and who loves you in return.

Jewels @Tetchie (2932) • Australia 4 Jun 08

Al_Bobid Congratulations on your 100th post. 100 is quite an achievement, and to think of it, you have done it in a months time. However a $1.17 is such a small earning. As of the moment I have only 57 posts and I have a $1.26 earnings. Maybe it is not on the amount...
