I really do love to do SwagBucks but today they have finally made me mad. Not just a little upset, MAD! I finally decided (I knew I shouldn't have done it) to install the SwagBucks Toolbar. I was thinking it might help me to earn...

commonground I actually did try one more time (a glutton for punishment) because it said everyone had an 80% chance of being accepted. I got all athe way to the end of the survey before it told me I did not qualify! I was so mad I sent an email to SB and really told them...

I think that all people have something strange that they do on a regular basis. And I'm really interested in what kinds of strange habits that other members of the community have and the reasons that they thing that they've picked...

commonground Hi, Jen. I'm also OCD and have a lot of the same things as you. I can't stand drawers or cabinets left open so I also am constantly closing things, plus straightening crooked things. As you say it's okay at home but it sometimes can be a problem at other...

commonground I guess I'm going to have to pay more attention to the blog and try to spot some codes. I've never even seen one! I think I do remember getting one for something, maybe from TSG for something I did... I don't know. I have won the camera and have cashed in...

commonground Yeah, I guess sometimes we can do everything right and still not get our hoped for results. Ovens are sneaky that way, aren't they? I know mine is unlevel, but other than that, I don't think it has any problems with temps and such. I could be wrong, though....

commonground He's had the collar on for two days now and seems to have accpeted it. He did have a little 'outing' yesterday. He made a new hole to escape the back yard and had a run around the neighborhood. He retuned home huffing and puffing, out of breath but...

commonground I actually am signed up with several good survey companies. It's just this particular one that is used by the SwagBucks website that I am talking about here. There are a lot of survey companies that offer these irritating "surveys" that are really not...

commonground Well, it sounds like your husband is a smart man. I knew better but did it anyway. See, even when we have reached a wiser, older age we can still mess up and not use good judgement I have won a sweepstake on there before, got a new digital...

commonground Hi, shia. I've been cooking for a very long time and I do know that things can sometimes go wrong. And that'a fine, that's acceptable. The problem here was that it was 2:00am and I didn't have time to do it over and hope it came out better the next time....

commonground Well, you're right, cream, everything did turn out ok. All of the cookies sold and so did the Never Ending Chocolate Cake, which I had made earlier in the evening. I am one of those people also, I want everything to turn out righr, every time. I guess we...

commonground I do put the fault on them, though, because they chose to host the other companies. I get really annoyed by those types of surveys. I usually click out of them when I realize what's going on. Ah, but I thought I really had it this morning... it let me go on...

commonground Aw, I didn't mean to discourage you. It's usually a good place as long as you don't put much hope in the surveys and now, I see, it doesn't pay to mess with the toolbar. As per my experience. Someone else may know something different. Give it a try just for...

commonground You're absolutely right about those surveys. I think I see a pattern forming here I do my searches there and the daily poll. I always open the page to the surveys even if I don't try to qualify because you get a point just for opening the...

commonground I really like SwagBucks, I just think they could do better with the surveys. And I don't know what happened with the toolbar except that it shut down my computer. That's a big No-No in my books. I can still participate in the site without the toolbar. I agree...

commonground Right, Dinoman, as you say, now others will know not to do it. I can certainly do without the toolbar and I have other surveys I can do. I will keep using SwagBucks, though. They are a good place to save up points and get some gift cards or even cash in your...

commonground Thank you for your well wishes. I had actually never heard the quote "a tired dog is a happy dog". That makes sense. I really do need to work with him and get him accustomed to the collar and leash. We did realize shortly after we got him that he was a...

commonground It actually did turn out just fine. The bake sale was a great success, every item sold out, nothing left. For a small town as ours we were pleased to make over $260 in just a couple of hours. The money needed for the youth to go to camp is adding up. I'm...
