FreebieJunkieWV Ugh, I'm sorry you had to go a week without AC. That can be brutal during the very hot weather. So far things have been pretty stable here finance wise. Last year we had a large car repair, but this year so far so good!

FreebieJunkieWV I see those 'binary options' scams advertised on some of the PTC sites. Usually these are just people who are promoting a binary option program via an affiliate program. Luckily most people I know are aware that these are scams.

I don't want to be homeless again...

Teresa Trotter @teresatrotter (4073) • Jacksonville, Florida 2 Sep 16

Before everyone starts giving me suggestions about going to churches and such...they aren't like they used to be. They either don't help, or they say they give to other organizations, and those organizations only help once every...

FreebieJunkieWV I am so very sorry. Back when the recession hit, we went through a series of misfortunes one after another, and I know the stress, shock, despair and misery of suddenly having a stable life fall away in the blink of an eye, and being without any support. I...

If you have not seen me around yesterday, it's because I had a difficult start of the month. When I and opened a web page, the Avast antivirus blocked that page, warning about a virus, that it fixed. I opened a new tab, but I...

Something Stupid From The Past

Anna @LadyDuck (472433) • Switzerland 24 Aug 16

While I was sorting my shoes, it came to my mind something that happened some years ago. I had the habit to hide cash inside my boots, to avoid to be robbed, when we were traveling. When we moved from France to Switzerland, I...

FreebieJunkieWV That's funny! That hasn't happened to me, but I do still love running across the occasional laundry money, when I forget to check my husbands pockets before putting them in the washing machine.

Just Say Cheeeeeese!

Sue H. @CinnamonGrl (7086) • Santa Fe, New Mexico 30 Aug 16

Do you like cheese? I'm a real cheese hound sometimes. I even like "processed cheese food" like Velveeta. I used to eat bologna or salami and Velveeta sandwiches when I was kid. I still like to clog those arteries now and then...

Have you ever tried to use coconut oil for your health ?

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 31 Aug 16

FreebieJunkieWV My father in law swears by it. I use it for cooking just out of habit, but haven't really thought of the health benefit aspect of it. I do know it's supposed to be more heart healthy.

I like sites that let you keep your points

snowy @snowy22315 (184373) • United States 28 Jun 16

One of the reasons I don't like survey sites that much..is that they sometimes take points away if you have been inactive. Lately, alot of people have been talking about the YouGov site, that I belonged to several years ago..I...

FreebieJunkieWV That's great! While it's definitely their right to set that in their Terms of Service, I do think it goes a long way in the goodwill factor when sites don't have points that expire. I like YouGov a lot, although I don't use it very much.
