In February 2023 I didn’t find or hide any geocaches.
I only received one product to test out. It is “de de peau beaute correcting cream veil” that I received for free for testing purposes from Influenster ( https://www.influenster.com/ ). I just received it so I haven’t had time to try it out yet.
My online earnings were good :
-$12.85 Amazon e-giftcard from Amazon Shopper Panel ( https://panel.amazon.com/ )
-$10 Amazon e-gift card from Pinecone Research ( https://members.pineconeresearch.com/#/Home )
-$6.14 Paypal from MyLot
-$25 Amazon e-giftcard from National consumer panel ( https://www.ncponline.com/ )
-$10 PayPal from Mypoints ( https://www.mypoints.com )
I wrote 14 posts here at MyLot. “Any weird smells you enjoy?” was the most popular having 28 responses.
I watched one movie “Artic”. I liked this right up until the very end. It came out in 2019 and starred Mads Mikkelsen. My husband was watching this and since I recognized the actor from Hannibal the series I watched it too.
I tried out 6 new recipes. We liked 5 out of the 6 so they was a really good ratio. My favorite was the Penuche Fudge Wuxi I had made for the Super Bowl.
I read one book “Unfinished business” by Nora Roberts.
Photo is of the dinner I was cooking on the camp stove my husband brought in when our propane for the stove/oven ran out. What you can’t see in the photo is the small propane tank on the floor with a pipe running up to the camp stove.

That is a nice camp stove. I have a propane grill in the back.

@snowy22315 my husband has a big grill outside and the tank he brought in hooks up to that. When they just filled our outside tank that hooks up to our stove and oven it was $4.19 a gallon. It’s been much lower and much higher in the past. I wish it was lower.

@snowy22315 we use fuel oil to heat our house. Propane is a lot cheaper when used in large amounts like fuel oil is. We only use it for our stove so they charge us a much higher rate. It’s probably just over $1 per gallon for people who use 300+ gallons at a time. Ours is only maybe a 25 gallon tank.

I only read 7 books in February, but they were about 500 pages each.

@shaggin Fair enough, but maybe she gets even in a creative way...

@BarbaraPrz I started a new book and the first chapter was about a wife being cheated on. I’ve been having dreams about that a lot lately and that’s the last thing I wanted to read about. I’m not sure I feel like going back to reading this book.

I do like Mads too. I haven't read any Nora Roberts in so long. She is good. Your recipe ratio is great.

@celticeagle I think it’s been a few years for me since reading anything by Nora Roberts. I gave probably 20+ books of hers on my shelf to read but get so little time to read and I bounce around the shelf I never stick to just one author or genre.

Amazon in does give me gift vouchers but for things I am not interested in.
Nice to have a substitute when your regular gas goes out.

@allknowing I rarely buy anything on there for myself. I usually save the gift cards up and then use it for gifts for others.

@shaggin Fair. But not as good as you. Guess I need to pump of the volume. You are most encouraging.

@shaggin - Soon after the Russia/Ukraine war started the authorities send a flyer suggesting what to buy to "be prepared" just in case of more problems. We also have canned beans, pasta, sugar, coffee and rice in the pantry, better safe than sorry.

@Nakitakona thanks. I’m at my highest in a long time here at myLot. March is almost over. I’m hoping to finish my notifications soon so I can read before bed. I didn’t get much sleep so I might not be able to stay awake long enough

It's interesting reading about your stats from Feb. Overall I think you did really good.
I only read one book in Feb. (Triple Cross by James Patterson) and didn't watch any movies nor did I try any new recipes.

@Marilynda1225 thanks I’m glad you enjoyed reading about my stats.
I have a few books by James Patterson but I don’t think I have read any of his yet.
