Something I discovered today:
There are actually some Internet forums that pay you to post, but for most of them you need to send in an application, just like for any other job. Some people actually refer to themselves as professional forum posters. It doesn't pay as much as being an accountant or a nurse, but who cares. It could be a good side income for some people.

It's actually really hard to make money posting at paying forums. Most of those sites really don't pay very much, usually .02 to .05 per post. It's very time consuming and you need to have a PayPal account. It's more tiresome than being a transcriptionist. Some easier ways to make money online are to take surveys, participate in focus groups or test products.

Last night I sat on the back deck and a baby cottontail rabbit hopped past me and it munched on some ivy growing through boards. I've learned being still in nature is equivalent to being invisible so birds, raccoons and rabbits have practically come to my feet. Tonight I put some cucumber on the deck for the rabbit; it was lingering out there again. (Funny I'm reading WD.) I can't help but feed the critters. I'll probably give it some walnuts tomorrow.

I would totally be interested in SK Trivia morgan !
Are you seriously reading Watership Down doccreed? I get so excited when I see a rabbit. When we were in Fall Creek Falls, there was a nightly bunny and the last night we were there, three baby bunnies made a surprise appearance! It was so exciting!! They were the cutest little things.

A couple of years ago, i came back home from a party and there were a lot of rabbits sitting on the meadow.
It was winter and i thought "Ooooh look at tese poor little guys" and i got some bread and started to feed them, like people feed the ducks at the lake.
I must tell you, that i was drunk
But you're right doccreed , being silent in nature often pays off. Sometimes ducklings sneaking around my feet or you can even see the skittish squirrels, just a meter away munching some nuts or anything else
LOL...did they eat the bread?

neesy
I was wrong. The birds I saw are blue grosbeaks. Got a closer look today and wanted to tell you. They are a bright blue, pretty peacock blue. Never seen them in Alabama. Neither had I seen red finches which are currently housed in the hanging fern out front. The hatchlings are almost three weeks old now.

Nice to see everyone connecting with wildlife here in one way or another.

doccreed Today I saw a dude who looked EXACTLY like Badger from Breaking Bad (at least from a distance!). Dressed the same - grey hoodie and tasseled beanie (even though it was 90 degrees outside). He was smoking a cigarette outside of a pizza delivery place. How perfect is that?!

Do you ever walk up to the front door of your house and press the unlock door button on your car remote? I just did that today.

Something I learned today: Never get a watch fixed unless it's worth more than $100 or it has some sentimental value. In hindsight, I never should've spent $60 on a new band and battery--or the things I bought while waiting for it to be fixed. It was a stupid thing to do especially since I have 5 other watches, 3 that I've never used. I think I've just gotten attached to this one. It has helped me to get through the last tumultuous year of my life. The same rule could probably apply to clothes, cars, and electronics. We learn from our mistakes. It's not stupid to make mistakes, it's only stupid if you keep repeating them.
When my dad was alive, he had a suitcase full of more than a dozen dress shirts that he never wore. My mother ended up giving them to my stepfather, who had no problem with wearing a dead man's clothes. At least someone ended up using them, I guess. It was either that or donate them to a thrift store.
When I read Brave New World, Aldous Huxley said "ending is better than mending." Sometimes that's true, sometimes not. Certainly not for a marriage or most companies. Often you just need to try harder to make it work. Don't give up on something if there's a way to salvage it.
End of my babbling. Goodnight.
