Lucktastic Scratchers are a Fun Way to Get Free Money

Do you like playing scratchers? I love it! Unfortunately, at $1.00 to $25.00 per sheet they get really expensive and rarely pay out.

I found another way to play scratchers and win no matter what. This app game called Lucktastic gives you free scratcher cards several times per day to play on your phone. When you open a scratcher card then you will usually see a short advertisement and then you are rewarded for viewing the ad. Not only are you given points toward earning a giftcard of your choice, but you also have the chance at winning prizes of monetary value or points.

You can also make more by referring other people to Lucktastic. Each time you refer a friend you get 1,000 coins toward your next payout. You can't lose!

Another note, I've had to deal with their support for an issue when facebook caused a problem with my account and their tech support went above and beyond their call of duty. I really like this company.

Try it out by clicking here and download the app to your phone. You're going to win even if you don't win the grand prize.

First Payout With Qriket

I just received my first payout with Qriket and I was a little dismayed to find out that it was in Canadian dollars which mean I took a huge hit on what I received. It immediately said to withdraw my $25 into my PayPal right when I logged in and when I did, the USD dropped to $18.25.

YIKES! Has our dollar amount dropped THAT much? Bad obama! Bad BAD!

Anyway, Qriket does payout, but it is in Canadian dollars and you'll get far less than what you expect. I should have just left it in there like a savings account and took the money out when it was higher. Next time, if it is even possible to do that with Qriket.

It's not going to make you rich, but it will help pay grocery bills. I know so many people who play and pay for CandyCrush, why not play something that pays you instead??

Just a quick note, Qriket does pay in Canadian dollars.

What the Heck is this Flu?

My son and I are both sick. My oldest son was sick last week. I had whooping cough for 3 months and now I have this flu virus that is just knocking me out. My youngest went to the doctor and found out he had pneumonia. What the heck is going on in the neighborhood?

Please Be Kind to Your Kids

While doing laundry last night a younger woman with a child who was around 8 years old came into the laundry to get their loads of laundry which took up all 3 dryers. Sadly, she has the stench of pot all around her which mean her kid must smell it all of the time. Even worse, as they were walking out of the laundry room he wasn't quite listening to her and she says, "ARE YOU CHALLENGED?" to him.

Really?

Then we all wonder why our kids grow up with certain attitudes. Maybe this is why some kids grow up as bullies or extremely insecure with themselves? By looking at her I can assume she probably was a bully. This is also the kind of kid that would probably stick up for his mother if I had said something to her or she probably would have stabbed me. Seriously. Even with all of that laundry in her hand. Of course had she been physically abusing him I would have stepped in. Unfortunately, when I hear parents acting like absolute jerks to their children with words my biggest concern is that if I do say something then when they get home she will take it out what I said on him physically.

What is wrong with people? These are your children. They look up to you for support and love. They aren't there to be bullied and hated on. You are there to teach them and help them grow up to be responsible adults so they don't live in your basement for the next 40 years of their lives or out on the streets. Treat them with kindness and be strict with them so they have boundaries. Always show them love and make sure they know what you approve of and what you do not approve of but in a way that shows you care.

And if that doesn't bother you remember, they are the ones who will be taking care of you and visiting you when you are 90. Treat them right during this time and they will bring you smiles while you are on your death bed.

Happy Sunday! It's Shopping and Laundry Day!

I'm not even sure where to go with this post today. It's the end of an old week and the start of a new one. It's two weeks into March and the month has gone by way too slowly. I'm glad it is warming up here in California though. Finally. I almost thought my state had moved north!

I had this dream that I was a huge blogger and at a convention. The hotel staff had little bungalows outside the dining area and my team and I were sitting down eating and as usual, I'm always the last finished eating because I don't like eating in front of others. I had to rush before the first session. Then I woke up. It was all really strange. I don't go to conventions. I used to when I worked at big companies, but now I'm happy just watching them from the web. I know, networking is good. Sorry, I have a huge anxiety problem in front of people. I prefer to just blog and take my chances.

Now that my washer AND dryer are broken I have to go do laundry off at a laundry mat. Unfortunately, I always wait until I have no casual clothes left. I suppose I could blog at the laundry room, but I don't have a laptop--I have a netbook and a few tablets and none of those are really good for blogging at all. I also need to go to the store. I don't have a car. LOL LOL AYE! Is it the laundry first or the groceries? Decisions....

I wanted to work all day because my son was home all week on vacation and I got nothing done. That isn't going to happen now as I have to go to the store. It takes hours to do one store trip on the bus. I could take a cab, but I am a real scrooge. Oh well, off I go!

What do you like to do on Sundays?

Do You Put Bacon in Everything?

I absolutely, positively LOVE bacon! I've put bacon in a lot of things that are related to salad, meat, and just plain bacon, but I've never thought of putting bacon in cinnamon rolls or pancakes. Some of these recipes look amazing for Christmas! Here is one to get you started, but I recommend getting more bacon recipes here. Fry your bacon until it's cooked, but you're still able to move it and it doesn't crumble. Dip in pancake batter. Fry your pancakes. Delicious!

Rocks

We're trying to move the rocks from the front yard. There's a ton of them and they annoyingly sharp. You can't weed around the because you just can't pull them out of the dirt. It's hard to get a grip near the bottom. You can't walk on them because they sharp and ugly. So, we started to shovel them away.

I'm paying my son to do it. He claims he's doing it but the mess is still there. I think he's doing a tiny bit a day. I told him I can't afford to pay him to do it all and he just says 'oh it's ok' but then gets mad when I tell him to work harder. I guess I'll just have to do it all and when he asks for money I'm going to say, "Sorry, I did all the work."

Sore as Hell Today

So I'm sore as hell today. My son decided to try and push me into a puddle while we were taking a walk in the rain together last night. The puddle was deeper than expected and I slipped and fell. It wasn't fun. So no walk with him this morning to the bus stop, which is a drag because I really enjoy our walks together.

Other than that, the diet is going well I suppose. People say I look thinner, but the scale isn't moving much. My clothes are looser and my face is thinner. I figure it's probably the build of muscle back into my legs that is putting on pounds if I'm getting thinner. I know I sat on my butt for almost 5 years here doing next to nothing but blogging so yeah, my muscles are small and weak. A few months of walking and then weights should take care of that. Swimming will be coming up too, but you won't find me in the pool in front of people until this gut is smaller.
