Rofl2 That is totally me!! I get the basics done, like laundry and meals and stuff, but anything more than that, it takes serious effort and concentration and motivation. Big Grin

Quote from kallison423 :
Do the surveys you get emailed from MyPoints- quick and easy.

I get GCs from them at a slower pace, but it's to places I don't normally get myself GCs to, so I don't mind too much. Definitely don't rack up the GCs as quick as other sites, but free is free.
See, I never do the surveys, maybe I should start. And yeah, I consider it free money, so I always click through the emails, etc. And now that I'm thinking about it, I probably have enough to get a gc to somewhere.

back from an eventful and fattening wknd and have some comments about what transpired while i wasn't around.

Quote from gatorcater :
So kind of random but have to ask:

MY DH's bff is this girl that he grew up with. They have remained very close and I am good friends with her now. Anyways, her and her DH have been trying to get pregnant for about 5 years. Last year they finally found out that her DH is sterile. After undergoing many painful procedures to try and "jumpstart" him, they decided to go with a donor. She is finally pregnant and just last night confessed that she had really wanted DH to be the donor OMG but of course he is not. She then wanted to know if he would consider it in the future. I think hell no and it's completely out of the question. Any thoughts on this?
Quote from gatorcater :
LOL! I know it sounds like a totally ridiculous thought. Luckily she lives in NY and we only see her about once a year...I am not even sure how I will act around her now that I know this...it's kind of burned into my brain, ya know?
Quote from mamaoftwins2 :
Anytime I would meet her, I would keep thinking she wants kids with my DH...Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)shake head
imho, there are just certain things you don't do w/ friends. live together when you go to college, discuss politics and/or religion, work for each other and share genetics. b/c it causes lots of hard feelings and you will not be friends after.

you can become friends but if you are already friends it's a recipe for disaster. dealing w/ strangers and anonymous donors does have it's place in life.

it's good you only see her about once a yr. hopefully you can feel flattered that she thought so highly of your dh and also pity that in her desperation for her children to come from a meaningful relationship to her, she was willing to cross a line and put her friendships w/ dh and you in jeopardy. b/c she must have known she was risking the friendship to even go there and ask.

Quote from gatorcater :
Wanted to post a new pic of my boys...never seem to get them smiling at the same time
so cute!

Quote from gatorcater :
I know of NO difference between V-Day and Sweetest Day. The latter is just plain lame IMO.
the date! Big Grin

Quote from thismom4deals :
OK, table completely finished and in the dining room:
Quote from thismom4deals :
Thanks all! Definitely our most exciting project yet.

Honestly, dh and I are doing so much modifying and making of our own plans that I am seriously thinking about designing and making some stuff to sell on CL.
very talented and inspiring to those of us who are so inclined (i'll just admire although i could do it including the sawing if i really wanted toBig Grin!).

when i saw the pics i was thinking you could definitely make some money too. i used to go to a lot of craft shows and there is an amish mkt just down the road from me that sells handmade furniture for beaucoup bucks. so definitely do some research and don't underprice yourself if you go that route.

Quote from ank220 :
etc... We just don't own any tools beyond a hammer and some screw drivers here! (dh is NOT handy)
my dh is the same. one time i asked him to pass me the phillips screwdriver and he asked which one was that. he denies it now b/c that's just a little too ignorant.

Quote from getgreen09 :
that part is easy! swagbucks...

... AND, i was just coming to post this, are any of you on zoombucks?
dh is into all of that. problem is he just accumulated points w/o ever redeeming them. until i found out he had enough mypoints to get $100 in lowes gc's twice and i had stuff to buy from there. now he's so eager to redeem pts asap. right now he's really into zoombucks b/c you can accumulate pts faster than swagbucks. he keeps talking about it and i keep nodding my head but i have no idea what he's talking about Stick Out Tongue. he's into the swagbucks thread but he's a bonafide lurker.

Quote from meeshecat :
So are we doing a Christmas exchange, secret santa or what not? HUGS!!
i can see it now. c9 socks, black socks, merona bags, bic pens LMAO!

Quote from dreemedayze :
I just realized you can also make a wishlist after you join. So if you have certain things you want or don't want, make sure to put that on there. Especially in the case of allergies.
i think there should be a list of banned items Teehee!

Oh no!

If it helps any, looks like my cheapie local paper will have the Glade BOGO. woot Usually they don't have the Glade coupons but the smaller daily paper has it in SS so the 25 cent paper should have it. I can umm, help, make up for your lack of Sunday paper. Just have to wait until Thursday. laugh out loud

eta under dislikes on the elfster site, I added allergy info. This is my list to give others some ideas for what they can include.

allergic to: nuts, peanuts, stupid people, ignorant people, arts and crafts, coupon haters

Are there any "tricks" to earning more quickly on mypoints? I rarely shop online, so don't earn much there. I click through all the emails, and print my coupons from there, and that's how I earn my points. If there's a way to rack up more points, I'd love to know!!
I do MyPoints, but I pretty much just click the emails for the 5 points. On the surveys I try to DQ myself just to quickly get the 10 points for trying. LMAO I do surveys elsewhere and somehow can't motivate myself to do them for MyPoints too.

You should check out the Frogpond there, I think they still have it. You quickly review a website and give a little write up with your opinon. I think it's 25 or 50 points per review and it's fast and easy.

I always forget to print my coupons there, but that is a great way to increase your points.

Are you a Bzz Agent? We get MyPoints for every review that we submit when in a campaign, so I get some that way too. I pretty much cash out as soon as I get enough for a $10 Starbucks GC and that is every few months with not spending much time at all trying. Good luck to you!

thanks so much for the offer! however, i think i'm not going to be doing glade this yr. i bought about 25 ashtrays plus refills last yr and ended up giving half away at an xmas party and half to bff to give away for secretary presents and i saw she ended up putting them on the shelf to sell. i was too lazy to do the sc johnson rebates EEK!. i burned one red ashtray to try and didn't really like it. i had one green ashtray and refill left and i put it out at the yardsale and nobody touched it. i had a small assortment of various glade products and it all went except for a bunch of tins and refills which i had the most of. i had one person who didn't even know what they were and ended up buying one just to try. a few tins and refills did sell but i'm rethinking my yardsale objectives.

i started to do yardsales b4 i found sd and continue to do it to get rid of stuff me, my mom and my SIL don't want anymore. it's kinda fun and i did meet my bff totally b/c i was having a yardsale and she wasn't going to be around so she rang my doorbell for a preview.

while i did sell much of the stuff i bought to see how it would do at a yardsale, i didn't sell all of it. and this time around i didn't get anything from SIL and very little from mom b/c i already had so much stuff already to sell.

i feel that i shouldn't be buying stuff if i even have to pay tax for, b/c it just ends up being more stuff i have to try to get rid of. if it's an MM, i'll consider it, but i don't want to add more stuff to all the junk i'm trying to get rid of. i think the time i spent doing deals at target to buy stuff just to sell would be better used just focusing on plain going thru and getting rid of stuff.

Okay.. you guys are making me crazy with all these names of sites to earn GC..

Swagbucks I use.. although, I am not that proficient.. I get a few here and there for searches, but almost always miss the codes. I think over the last 6 or 8 months I have gotten 4 or 5 amazon GC.

Just signed up for zoombucks when you guys were discussing it the other day. Got 100 points for signing up and have only gotten 4 points since then. I even tried signing up for the surveys, but it seemed like it was an endless loop of signing up and registering. I know I entered the same info 20 times. Now my email inbox is being hit with all this stuff, but I didn't get anymore points for it.. I definitely need some barney style help.

Now, what the heck is mypoints?? I can't keep up laugh out loud

I bought some things, some with coupons, some without, and returned some of the items a few days later. Then I used my discount card to pay for my sisters prescription and used the GC I got from that return to pay for it. They said that isn't allowed and is immediate termination.

ink... what kind of ink do you use? is it hp? if so, hon you should really start doing the staples deal. the ink would be free after rewards. you really should start doing the staples deals anyways, and then sell/trade the ink for the ink you need if it comes to that.
egads... I should do the staples thing too.. Where are the hours in the day??

Quote from flugette :

[snip]

Now I have to figure out how to make hubby's b-day tomorrow special
Take paper and do big letters for Happy Birthday on each one - divide up and let the kids go to town decorating them. Tape or string them together and hang 'em up. Make dinner and have the kids decorate papers for special placemats. Make paper flowers, light canles, etc... just do a little something out of the ordinary for dinner. Wake up a little early and give him a morning... um... well.. yeah... Lust Do you have stuff to make a little cake? Let the kids help/decorate. Have everyone practice singing happy birthday or some other song, then get them all dressed up and ready when he walks in and break into song. Maybe they could even do a birthday puppet show or little play or something. Anything like that would probably make it special. Smilie

I hope your little one feels better!!

Quote from love2beeamom :

I'm still trying to figure it out too. I see lots of things to sign up for, but I'm not getting credit for the ones I have signed up for - plus it seems to just take me to another thing to sign up for. I'm afraid I'll end up with 750 new emails every day that are junk! Then there are some offers that want your CC # - even if they say they are "free." DH would soooooo not be happy with me if I start putting our debit card info out there!

How do ya'll keep track?? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, I think.

I need to do Staples, but I don't think we even have one close by? Or maybe my brain just can't comprehend more stores laugh out loud

MyPoints.com

Basically, you get 5 points for reading emails they send you. More points if you do the offers, but not necessary. Basically just click and get the points and close it out- that's what I do. I think 1500 points is a $10 GC.
