Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 29 Jan 10

charles63 Thank you for telling me about BigCrumbs. I hadn't heard of it. I recently joined ebates.com, which has a similar program, except it pays 2% of your purchase price instead of 36% of the fees that the eBay's sellers pay. It probably works out to about the same,...

charles63 I've long ago concluded that PTC sites are not worth my time. The pay is now so low that even with a sizeable downline the cashflow is more of a trickle than a flow. Active members just don't ordinarily stay active for long enough to make a difference. But...

charles63 It's a pretty good line and has an element of truth to it. A wannabe atheist who is uneasy about possibly forfeiting his or her chance for everlasting life might settle for being an agnostic instead. But I think that most agnostics are those who simply...

charles63 I always turn my computer off if I'm not going to use it for an hour or more. This is just an energy-saving reflex. One trick that I do when I'm starting the computer again is to perform some other little task after I push the on-button. If I just had lunch,...
