I though I´d reach my new goal today.

Gambler as I am, I´m always wanting to reach potlucks. And after I reached $5 (not my goal) I reached for my goal of $10. It turned out that I reached it too soon, so now I´m aiming at $15.
I thought That today it would be the day. But Murphy´s Laws always appear where I am.
First internet went down. I accepted it, as I haven´t finished watching Call the midwife. But, of course, Netflix and cable TV were down too. Well, I said, I´ll make a phone call to my daughter. As it was, the phone was also mute.
So I had to clean the kitchen to feel useful and then use my very own pacifier: an old book that I have read many times.
What do you do when all the normal ways of entertainment fail? Do you have goals here?

I read. Now everything is fine. I partially cleaned my house and now I´m answering my notifications here.

This problem has nothing to do with electricity, but with the provider of phone, internet and cable TV.

Yes I read somethings that I have printed out as I don´t have any books at all right now and its high time I got to remedy that.
For that I need the cash I have not got.

Where I live, new books are very expensive. But there are shops where they sell old books for little money.

No chance of that Margi not even in Logroño where there are quite a few bookshops and they sell them all new.
They do that in England on the Markets that are outdoors.

When internet fails I spend the time playing with my kids or cleaning if that needs to be done. =)

For me, it is another way of playing. The truth be told, the amount of money I earn here is too little to be counted. The friends I have are the important assets of the site.

I have never used a treadle sewing machine. One of my grandmas had one. I wonder where it is!

@marguicha I learned to sew on my mother's treadle. I purchased an old, beat up treadle at a garage sale that I used off and on for 30 years. Now I have my mothers old treadle. I use it almost daily.

My goal here in myLot is to reach the minimum payout amount. the sooner within the month, I reach it, the better for me.
As for normal means of entertainment, I mainly stick to reading books and answering crossword puzzles and find a word books.

I usually have at least 3 books on my night table. One of them at least is one I have read and liked a lot.

I have the idea that this company has sold more than what it has to offer.
