sheryllad Yes I did, when my cousins and niece were born. I was happy and amazed that such a little creature came from the womb. I also felt scared for the moms because giving birth really put the mother's life at risk.

sheryllad I will also feel exhausted and close to swearing if I joined as much as 60 sites and never been paid by any of them. With so many online programs promising to pay workers, we should always be careful so our efforts won't go in vain. Good luck!

sheryllad It actually depends on what my mood is. Sometimes I do care, sometimes I don't. Yet I think that we need to make ourselves presentable not for other people but for our selves. It does feel good knowing I look good.
