Do the comments about the comments contest count towards the contest? People really are bringing their best game face to this one. I think I speak for the whole class when I suggest the irony is not lost on any of us… Just one question: if one wins, is the $5 GC considered "taxable income"?

When's the last time the average person paid someone to talk to them? Hell. I'm hailing taxis an stuff an leaving behind what I'm doing that day to make them stop 😩

The IRS does say you're supposed to declare all money earned online as income so this will add to your burden if you win.

Do you remind the teacher to give out homework or a pop quiz also ?

I still have several, most regulated to car repair or lawn duties.

Wearing them seems out of context, much like seeing a non-English speaking person wearing a "James Madison Cheerleader Squad" T-shirt. feeling almost certain they don't know what it says. Quite quizzical.

On September 20, 2017, Tim Storm posted on his Facebook page the following:

" I heard the news today... oh boy.
When I sold FatWallet in 2011, I told myself that I sold the right to complain about whatever happened after that.
I'm immensely proud of what we built—and sad to hear that it will be shutting down very very soon.
I've not been involved at all in the last 6 years, but my heart is with everyone that played a part, either with me, or after me.
It was a hell of a ride"

If anything FW knew how to incentivize their members..on the other hand SD gives $5 GC when a gallon of gas is $5.50 while keeping on payroll a bunch of lazzies that cut and paste random items from Amazon and call them staff sponsored deals
