shibakat I personally don't like anyone in my purse unless I have given them permission to do so, such as, "Honey, please get my wallet out of my purse." Things like that. But in response to your purse with an anchor inside: I LOVE big bags. A small bag is not worth...

shibakat I just joined Neobux two days ago. From what I can tell, you only get four advertisements to click on every 24 hours. That is one cent per ad, and if you ad that up...well, you don't get very much very quickly. So far, I have gotten a total of twelve cents.
