Hello all, Does anybody remember this hot-bed issue? Does anybody remember that Congress approved the building of the fence, yet backed away from the vote. Or that the fence is not yet built? Does anyone remember the issue of...

emeraldisle Hi ladyluna :) It was nice to see your discussion on this. I think for many this issue has been put on the back burner in comparison to other hot issues. This is one though we cannot continue to ignore. We need to get a handle on it and realize that by giving...

emeraldisle I live in Florida as well and see billboards and all forms of things in Spanish. It does make me mad. They are spending money to put things up in two or more languages when one language should be enough. Also where do we draw the line? We have a huge Greek and...

I have been a member of many PTC sites but only a few of the "bux" sites that have become very popular. The first one kept upping the payout so people wouldn't get paid and I avoided them afterwards but then I thought well I'll...

emeraldisle Well I'm not surprised that they are going down considering what they did with me. I went to the site and noticed it has a message up that there is a new admin. I seriously doubt it will change anything though. so far the bux sites have not impressed me at...

emeraldisle You're right they do have the option to change the TOS at any point but until they do they should have to honor it. According to them they had this change in effect for some time and it could be seen on the cash out/ convert page, which you can't see until you...

emeraldisle Good luck with them. I wouldn't hold my breath on them paying out but you never know perhaps they will for you.

emeraldisle You're very welcome. There are good ptcs out there it's just sad that there are some that give the rest bad names. It's those that are the problems and if they are the first you come in contact with it can sour you on the whole business. Hopefully if we can...

emeraldisle Well there are some good ones out there and ones that payout honestly. I have several that I'm with but I won't be signing up with any more bux sites that's for sure. Between this and the other horror stories I have heard with them I just can't trust them. I...

emeraldisle Do you really think they will pay me? I don't. I think they will find any excuse not to. Even if by some miracle I do get paid $5 from them I then lose 10% in order to use it since I have to pay .50 to have it transferred to my bank. I don't buy ads anywhere...

emeraldisle That's about it. I'd much rather enjoy life then miss life because I was concentrating on the wrong things. Thank you for best response. That was nice to see in my box

I had always liked Big Red gum as it, unlike other products, did not have aspertaine or nutrasweet in it. Now that has changed. I bit into it expecting to have the same wonderfully refreshing cinnamon taste that I have long...

With the gas prices being $4.19 when I last pumped here in Orange County, California, I wonder about how people are making ends meet... Living frugal seems to be a necessity. What are the first things that someone should know...

emeraldisle We re-use a lot of things and I'm a big user of freecycle. Not to mention coupons, but only if they are things I use already. I won't buy something just because I have coupon. I also really look for sales. We also shop at Sam's club to try and buy things in...

emeraldisle It's slowly creeping back up again though. I read reports where some areas in the country they are having county employees do 10 hour work days, 4 days a week to try and help with the price of gas. In the article it said experts are talking of it going over...

Ok, Mylot friends, I need help. It is 102.7 here right now and it is 10 degrees cooler up here where we live on the hill than it is down the hill. It has gotten hot in the house. I had to turn the A/C (air conditioner) on. I hated...

emeraldisle it's amazing what you can do without an oven isn't it? I know we use our microwave, crock pot, and other small appliances more then ever to help with keeping the heat and the energy bill down. Good luck

emeraldisle I agree they are out to confuse us. One year things are bad and then next they are good. I think it's just what they think popular opinion is and they cater to it. Then they actually start doing all the testing needed once science shows differently and they...
