I may have to download a third app (swagbucks)

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 18 Jan 16

I don't normally talk about swagbucks here because frankly not many people care. I know a few of us use swagbucks, some using it as a means to save for shopping. I try to earn the daily sb meter there so that I can get the bonus...

Have you ever been overwhelmed by someone's odor?

The Horse @TheHorse (220747) • Walnut Creek, California 17 Jan 16

A year or so ago, I was on a BART train heading from San Francisco to my home in Pleasant Hill. I took a window seat, as I always do when seats are available. A homeless-looking woman entered the train. She sat next to me. We...

That is the noise I hear while mylotting. I am in the kitchen at the table writing away. A family member's alarm clock is only a few feet away from me in the next room. It *beeps beeps beeps* incessantly and yet the family member...

I worked as a waitress for a few years, and then as a banquet server. For those who are unaware, a banquet server is basically a glorified waitress. The only difference is you are serving classier people. Now this isn't always the...

Emerson That's it? I catapult what I do on the Internet and earn $150 a month at this time. My goal is to do better than that through surveys and article reviews. Also, I may finally start a business I've been wanting to for a long time. Any income online less...

Got stuck on the sky walk one day

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 6 Jan 16

This happened several years ago. I was working for the hotels in the downtown area of the city I live in. There is what I call a sky walk, which is a bridge enclosed in glass between two buildings. I don't remember why I went...

Emerson I'm a man and to be honest, even men would get scared of something like that. You won't find me in one of those. However, there is little lady I've been eyeing lately who seems to have fear of nothing. I'm sure she is scared of something though.
