Do You Really Get $$ for posting?

kkkktcat @kkkktcat (3) • United States 15 Mar 07

So does this really work? I'm just wondering if anyone here has actually earned any money? And how do I get my .02 cents I've earned in 24 hours? I really NEED that gumball...

misskatonic *shrugs* I've made about 200$ here so far. And I've been paid every month, exactly the amount I've earned. The site does indeed pay, but you don't get paid for nothing. Too many people assume that this is 'easy' money. No money is easy. You need to add quality...

misskatonic Long before Mylot has so many members, before they shifted the algorithm, back in the Bronze Age of the site, my record was seven dollars in one day. I made a lot of posts - don't remember how many - didn't use tags overmuch, and didn't start many discussions...

Everyone seems to forget Sanjaya was voted in by the judges

brentonlee @brentonlee (127) • Malaysia 15 Mar 07

Everyone seems to forget that Sanjaya was in the top 24 because of the judges vote. Sanjaya hasnt changed the way he sings but why now that he is in top 24 to top 12 none of the judges seem to give him any positive feedback....

misskatonic His audition was ten times better than his singing in the finals has been. He really has gone downhill, and I'm not sure why. He really isn't living up to his audition and he doesn't deserve positive feedback any longer. I don't know what happened, but his...

misskatonic I've gotten a couple of referrals for here off of my blog, but my blog doesn't focus on making money online or anything like that. It really all depends on your blog, your audience, and how much your readers trust you. If you have a blog devoted to making...

Feeling Pressured on St. Patrick's Day

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 15 Mar 07

Okay, I know St. Patricks' Day is modernly seen as a general celebration of Irish Heritage, and by many, as simply an excuse to get drunk. However, originally, the point of St. Patrick's day was to celebrate St. Patrick, who is...

misskatonic ..... When's St. Patrick's Day again? That right there shows how much I pay attention. And I *am* Christian. I just don't celebrate the holidays because to me, it's a pointless spectacle. I remember in Boston, St Patrick's was such a huge thing. You...

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13139) • United States 13 Mar 07

misskatonic Almost everything, honestly. Sitting up for more than a half hour or so at a time, getting dressed, tying shoes - I don't wear shoes I have to lace anymore, just ones I can slip on - doing laundry, tidying up the house... By the time I'm done, I'm exhausted...

Writers, if you went to college what was your major?

smartie1685 @smartie1685 (450) • United States 13 Mar 07

I'm in college now and since I want to be a writer most people assume that I would major in English but I decided instead to major in Journalism. I've seen that most people who major in English either become teachers or don't...

jeweledbluerose @jeweledbluerose (3061) • United States 13 Mar 07

A little while ago I watched a report on CNN about married couples whom sleep apart from each other meaning in seperate beds and in seperate bedrooms. A marriage therapist (I believe) stated that couples who sleep apart from each...

misskatonic Hmm. You know, I don't know. For me, I have trouble sleeping with someone else in bed just due to how I have to sleep - I'm disabled. Plus I have involuntary muscle spasms which are very annoying and sometimes painful for anyone in bed with me. I think it...

misskatonic Cosplay is no longer limited to being well known only in Asia - it's vastly popular here in the States, with conventions being advertised on television. I've been cosplaying here in the states for about a decade now, and it's a vast phenomena. I've written a...

jbrowsin66 @jbrowsin66 (1321) • United States 12 Mar 07

It said that he was upset that Sanjaya got picked for the top 12 and if he won the competition he'd quit the show. Obviously Sanjaya will not win, but don't you think he's negatively influencing America's vote for him? I think...

misskatonic I think Simon is making his point very clearly - if America votes him best, America has absolutely no ability to appreciate musical talent. Sanjaya *isn't* very good, when you break it down. He's entertaining, in his way, but he is by no means Idol material. I...

Warnings on Cigarette Packs

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 12 Mar 07

Do you guys feel that the warnings on cigarette packages are actually affective? What are some of the warnings that stick out in your mind, why do you think those stick? For me it would have to be the one regarding lung cancer...

misskatonic I think they're ridiculous, honestly. With the media and everything else beating the idea of "ZOMG SMOKING WILL KILL YOU!!!!!' over the head of the public, I can't conceive anyone not knowing the potential dangers before picking up a pack of cigarettes....
