Do you have a goal on Mylot?

Amber @AmbiePam (121512) • United States 21 Jun

Do some of you have a certain goal you want to hit in Mylot each month? I just want to make payout, which hasn’t been that hard lately, but I don’t make a goal much beyond meeting the payout threshold. What about you?

Shiva I know it is not easy to make the payout every month. In fact, it takes me a few months for me at least. I want to log in to see what is happening and post some comments.

Shiva Trump has created so much misery in Asia as the Strait of Hormuz is closed for all practical purposes. Most Asian countries are dependent on imported fossil fuels and ships are stuck in the high seas. Even cooking gas is in short supply. And the agreement...

Shiva Unapproved and spurious drugs abound especially in countries without proper government supervision. Beauty parlors peddle in them and customers walk in unwittingly. In fact, weight loss and hair transplants are big business. They can lead to irreparable...
