kelly10 I've been away from the site for a bit due to other online and offline pursuits and then my laptop failing on me so I've no idea what these changes are. Can you elaborate on these?

Any good ways to earn besides surveys?

viner16 @viner16 (242) • Canada 12 Oct 11

Anyone know of any good ways to earn besides surveys? Personally, I've only qualified for surveys 5 times, on 3 different sites. I find them fun to do, but since I rarely qualify, it is getting annoying now. (Especially when you...

kelly10 What I find with surveys is, the more you join the more chance you have of making money. I really enjoy doing surveys and find it a great way to pass the time when there is nothing on TV or if I'm having a really bad night and can't sleep at least I'm earning...

kelly10 You should only charge a battery when it needs charging, and when the battery is fully charged at 100% you should unplug it. By constantly charging the battery, and this is the same for any appliances that you have to charge, it wears them out quicker and...

kelly10 Collect orange coloured leaves and scatter them about on a window sill or mantlepiece. Then, and I'm not sure how, make some mini pumpkins and scatter these around as well. This then looks very good lit up with some LED tealights.

kelly10 Drinking alcohol is only evil when it overtakes you and consumes your life. I drink, as do many of my friends, and for us it is not evil. To say drinking alcohol is a major disastrous habit a person has in their life is wrong, a not everyone is like that.

kelly10 That's a hard one for me to answer. As I haven't seen an angel, or know anyone that has then I can't say that I believe 100%. But I am a great believer in ghosts and the paranormal/supernatural so angels are really an extenstion of this, so I can't rule of the...
