Well, it hasn't been too hard to be new at myLot. Everyone has been really kind and welcoming. But I meant more generally. :) I started a new part-time job tonight making deliveries. And I am terrible at being new. All my...

Kristina Rowe That is EXACTLY what I did with this job. It is proving to be quite a challenge, but I am going to be so proud that I did it. Of course, I'd love it if I got enough steady writing work to pay the bills. Then I'd just do this a few times a week. But as I said,...

I've been thinking about travel lately. A more modest lifestyle makes international travel difficult. But if you long to get out and about, there are places you can see in your own country and on a budget. When I travelled for...

Kristina Rowe Sounds like a lot of awesome places! My "states I've visited" map looks like a smile starting with California, sweeping down through the south and then back up the east coast to Virginia. I need to see more of the midwest, I think. :)

Kristina Rowe Sounds like you've seen quite a few sights and I hope you get to see more. Growing up in Texas, I really enjoyed the maritime provinces in Canada. I haven't been further north than Virginia on the east coast, with the exception of a few airline connections....

Kristina Rowe Sounds like so much fun, although I TOTALLY understand about those long flights. Count me as one who'd love to read something about your travels if at some point you have the chance to tell us. :)

Kristina Rowe I remember those days too @moffittjc - when passports weren't needed for Mexico, Canada or the Caribbean. It was much easier to travel in those days.

Kristina Rowe @Letranknight2015 That is so sweet, thank you! When I was young, I was smart and bold and never afraid. I know I'm not "old" but as more years pass, I get less competent and more fearful. But I will forge ahead. That's all I know how to do. :)

I just stumbled upon myLot and I love the idea of having fun discussions with other people -- and getting paid to do it. Lately, I've been thinking that earning a living or making extra money shouldn't be such an awful task. Even...

Kristina Rowe I am trying to get there myself. My problem is getting stuck researching ideas, and of course, spending too much time on the fun sites and not enough on the ones with challenging assignments. But 2016 is going to be my year, LOL. Good luck to you in that...

Kristina Rowe From what I understand, creative tasks are the most likely ones to engage us like that. Those parts of our brains are just begging to be used!!

Kristina Rowe I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't want to make assumptions or overshare, but I will say that both stress and the effects of age-related hormonal changes have interfered with my ability to find complete pleasure in some activities. Sometimes, the fact is, we...

Kristina Rowe @LeaPea2417 I love Farmville too! But I gave it up because it was SO addicting and because I haven't yet figured out how to make money from it, LOL. :)

I saw this meme on Facebook today, and it really made me think: "Some people want a big house, a fast car, and lots of money." "Some people want a tiny cabin in the woods away from those kinds of people." Which person are you?...

Kristina Rowe Exactly! I don't need a "big" house or "lots" of money, but I need the essentials and at least a little bit of comfort. :)

Kristina Rowe I have done mystery shopping during a couple of different periods in my life. I find that it works best when you can find assignments for things you would normally do. It's nice to have your dry clearning piad for or to be reimbursed for the family's pizza...

Kristina Rowe @suziecat7 I'm a OneSpace writer too. It's been nice these last couple of weeks with lots of work to choose from. I pick up article assignments at TextBroker.com sometimes too though I like OneSpace much better.
