How to increase my online income?

Jevendiran @Jevendiran (778) • India 1 Jun 10

I'm working in mylot and readbud. In mylot, my earnings are too slow. in readbud, I get a maximum of 4 articles per day. Most of the time it's just 2. What the hell! I couldn't earn a decent income. I want to earn money to meet my...

MelissasCrate The best advice I can give on earning money online is to not limit yourself to one site and one source of income. That is the beauty of online earnings. If you join all the PTC sites, PTR sites, and any other Pay To sites and just do the easy bits you can...

SPEECH....Do you feel bored listening to a long speech?

cloud31 @cloud31 (5809) 28 May 10

Don't get me wrong my fellow myLotters, Its not right/good to feel this way but its really true. I feel so much bored for a speaker rendering a long speech. Since my childhood I can't stand longer to listen and pay attention in...

MelissasCrate This is exactly why I opt for online articles instead of lectures, shows, or even videos. I am more of a bullet point reader. Any and all postings that I actually read online contain bold sentences, lists, and/or steps. I read the first part of each step,...

Eeewwww, BEDBUGS!!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 30 Aug 09

Here in my town we have an outbreak of bedbugs, disgusting creatures that bite all night and I have no idea what causes them. First it was in our state capitol now it has spread to other Ohio towns and cities. One man at a meeting...

MelissasCrate I believe most houses have bedbugs, but what you are describing is a serious infestation. Normally the older a mattress is the more it has. They like dark warm places and feed on dead skin cells (I believe). I think the only way to really get rid of them would...

Are you a list writer?

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 24 Aug 09

Do you write lists for the grocery store? Things that need to get fixed or replaced? "TO DO" lists? Wish list? I usually write a grocery list though I don't know why cause I usually loose it before I get to the store or even...

MelissasCrate I love writing lists for everything. Not just TO DO lists, but also items, chores, tasks, appointments, goals, etc. Mostly my lists do go ignored or forgotten as well, but the point is I make them I guess. I like to brainstorm often. Like yesterday I...

MelissasCrate I have taken home doggy bags from regular restaurants, but never from an all you can eat buffet. I guess the point of a doggy bag is to take all the food you have paid for home with you to make the most of it and probably go back to that restaurant or tell...

MelissasCrate This happened to me a LOT! But now I shop at WalMart and Target where if it happens, I can go back in with my receipt and get the difference in price back within 30 days of my original purchase. I would check with Staples by calling to see if you can do this.

MelissasCrate LMAO Nice! I think your husband and mine would get along together well. My husband will do the EXACT same thing, and since I never know my way I am no help whatsoever. At one time we had Sprint cell phones which offer GPS as well. We used those very often, and...

MelissasCrate I love eggs. If I have them scrambled, then I add milk and white american cheese. I also like them microwaved (yes I know many people dont). I also love to add eggs to my sandwiches. Some of my favorite combos are: Bagel, egg, cheese, mayo Bagel, ham or...

MelissasCrate Mine is fine... so maybe try deleting your cookies. Often those are the problem when pages are slow loading. If not, then maybe your computer is bogged down. So then I would try defraging it.

Do You Wash Your Hands?

carolbee @carolbee (16230) • United States 17 Aug 09

Do you wash your hands after handling money? Money is so nasty after circulating all over the country. I am a big hand washer and like to keep my hands germ free so when I get the urge to eat or snack, my hands are clean.

MelissasCrate I never even thought about that before. Although it doesn't matter to me... I believe that if you don't expose yourself to foreign pathogens and germs then your immune system won't evolve and grow. So essentially being too clean is unhealthy. This is a common...

do you add your own touch to recipes?

Robyn @floridachick (603) • United States 17 Aug 09

what about the ones you make for the first time? I do all the time, I like making something my own. sometimes it's just the seasoning or flavor to change the recipe.

MelissasCrate I used to not. I used to follow every recipe to the T, and was a huge stickler for measuring. Now I love to experiment and add herbs and spices that are good for my health. I also love to cook while burning incense (my favorite as of late is lavender). Also...

Do you like to have ice cream in winter??

chelseaalawn @chelseaalawn (717) • Hong Kong 17 Aug 09

I like to do it. Cuz I am living in subtropical zone so the winter here is not really cold. And that's why I like to have ice cream in winter. What about you guys? Do you or can you have ice cream in winter?? Tell me about it~~

winter

MelissasCrate I live in New England and it gets REALLY cold during the winters. Even so, I crave ice cream all year round. That may be because I grew up in Southern California... but it may also be because ice cream is GOOD!
