We Start A New Month Tomorrow!

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 30 Apr 17

I think it’s rather strange that no one seems to mention “PAYOUT” on this site like they did on the other site that “used to be.” Usually, at the end of each month, several persons would either be bragging or complaining about...
