Does the breed of a dog really matter when choosing a dog for a family? I am a huge pitbull lover and supporter. I have had 4 pitbulls in the course of my adult life. None have been agressive and all of them were very people...

Arkine A lot of people don't realize that Pitbulls are not nearlly as aggressive a breed as they are lead to believe. I think the problem arises because of what they are used for illegally, which is fighting ... and people use them as junkyard dogs too, which are...

Me, I don't bother when my Dachshund licks me in the face. I'd be even happy my dog loves me. She always do that as soon as I enter the front door of our house after work. However my main concern is if it's safe to be licked by a...

Arkine Sorry, my computer decided it didn't want to load the page and totally erased the post that I had written. Okay, long story short. Dogs clean their bodies with their tongues, personally I don't want that sort of thing all over my face. I don't mind them...

Hi friends, I am currently MyLot-ing and is also trying out my luck in some PTC sites. I have seen so many comments about people joining PTCs and not getting paid. I am trying PTCs for the first time. So, I thought of asking...

Arkine I've probably said this so many times at this point that I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I've discovered that trying to earn money on line is very difficult, and earning enough to make a "living" is nearly impossible ... at least with Paid To...

I have never joined any GPT site before and recently I have fun with a unique site and made over $5 from it just by signing up to 24 sites. It wasn't hard but still it is a bit time consuming. Well, I guess it is another prove...

Arkine I don't want to sound like a pessimist here, but I've never made a lot of money from GPT sites. Mostly, just enjoy the content and the fact that they are paying you something. When you reach the payout (whatever that might be) take that money and stick it in...

Arkine The typing or the picture isn't bad? ~L~ Actually, I'm pretty proud of the avatar pic, that's why I use it. ;) It's also one of the few pictures that I've sold several copies of at art shows.

Arkine Congratulations! It's quite a task to finish a book. I think someone already mentioned Lulu.com and Smashwords.com, the ebook publishing is free and I would definitely recommend starting out that way if you are having difficult with publishers. I am...

Arkine ~L~ I'm starting to feel like we have a lot in common. I've had a DeviantArt account for years, and never sold a single thing. The only other way (at the moment) that I make money is through InboxDollars, but that takes a while. I'm supposed to be building...

Arkine Hey Yugasini, I honestly think GPTPF has probably run it's course. If they bounce back I'll be very surprised, but then I didn't understand how they could be paying that much per post anyway. The forum was supposed to go public and basically get people to...

Arkine Wow, that last comment of mine was all messed up. a) I read your comment wrong and thought you said "How, did you draw your avatar?" LOL. So, yes I drew my avatar about 2 years ago. It was a sketch that I scanned into the computer and then used Photo Studio...

Arkine I'd say take the job, but keep looking for a position in a career field that you really want to do. Jobs are scarce where I'm at, so anything is better than nothing. Still, I can understand wanting to work at something you actually enjoy doing. ;)

Buxever didn't pay me this day June 13, 2011 after I reach the minimum payout $ 2.00. They say I need to invest first a $ 3.00 to cash out, how frustrating. There are so many PTC site that didn't pay honestly to there user's....

Arkine Unfortunately, when you are talking about PTC sites there are a whole lot of scam sites out there, and the ones that are legitimate normally don't pay very well. That's why people can't earn a living on them. At least one of those pays you.

Arkine I honestly have no idea if the Like or Comment colunms have any bearing on the amount that you get paid. I can tell you that Triond allows you to view your own work once per day, which means you can click on your own articles and you get credit for that as a...
