walkgal I am a believer. I have not always believed. I have gone through many periods where I questioned my faith. I don't think God is mad at me for that. I'm sure He would not want something automatic from me. He would not want me to believe because my parents or my...

Do you hit your kids/will you when you have them?

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

"Spare the rod, spoil the child." I honestly believe in these words. It's acceptable in the Philippines to discipline their children through physical means (no, not abuse). That's why a lot of us grow tough, and really...

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 9 Sep 08

I have the most referrals for Thinkbux, mainly because I was promoting it to death. Neobux would come in second place for the most referrals.I have over 130 for thinkbux, but only 79 is currently active. What about you Mylotters?

3 responses

walkgal How much do you make a month from these sites with all your referrals? And how long to spend online each day? Just curious, as I tried PTC once and it was a little boring, ....but maybe if I got referrals it would be worth it. Oh, and how do you go about...
