I think I have seen it all. I was browsing through ecards.com because I know quite a few people with February birthdays and I came across a card that totally cracked me up. The main reason is because I swear it’s Mr. Fab in a diaper dressed up as cupid. The name of the card is Cupid’s Pick-Up Lines. Take a look at the following picture and tell me this isn’t Mr. Fab:



Now that you have finished laughing- on with the point of the post. I have used many e-card sites through the years, some free, some pay and ecards.com is one of my favorite. They have a wide variety of funny, risque and animated ecards which can be personalized. The good thing is- you can receive a free 30-day trial membership to send unlimited ecards and per year it’s only 13.99. If you’re like me and you don’t have the time to run and buy a card for every occassion- this is not only convenient but think of the savings. Cards cost anywhere between 99 cents and $3- if you send a lot as I do this adds up fast. I still cannot get over the Valentine’s Day eCard by "The Chins" and Cupid’s Pick-Up Lines- totally crack me up.

Doesn’t sound quite as provocative as smother me in chocolate does it? I was watching my local news just now and the end segment gave an interesting website to check out. Now, before I give the link-let me explain. I love cheese. Any type except the extremely smelly kind. I pour, yes pour not sprinkle Parmesan on my baked potatoes-this is how much I love cheese. So the site comes from a cheese company in England somewhere. You can watch cheese age. Yes, you read that right- you can watch cheese age. They said the best time to watch is when the cheese is turned sometime around 4am Eastern Time. Oh, how I wish I could stay up that late tonight.


CheddarVision.tv-don’t become addicted, the current cheese has been aging for 43 days.

Thank goodness that drive is over. I did like the job, but it was killing me having to get up at 4am, drive 90 miles, work without taking breaks or a lunch most days and turning around and driving another 90 miles back home. On average I spent $100 a week on gas-so in reality one paycheck would be paying for gas, with about $200 left over. I have saved money in my PayPal account from writing for PayPerPost- this has been a life-saver for me. I signed up for a PayPal debit card and with this, I paid for gas. To date, although I haven’t been posting as much lately due to the odd work hours and travel time, I have made $900+ with another $200 pending with PayPerPost. Not too bad is it? I know many have debated the ethical yadda regarding blog ads, but when you’re in a situation where the money is really being used- I’m all for it. My goal now is to make enough in order to have a deposit on an apartment and continue posting to supplement my income. Why? Because the pay I’m receiving for the new job-that is closer to my house, is considerably less than what I was making and I will need the extra cash. I still blog. I have kept blogging about my normal, odd-ball topics, with a paid post here and there. My readership hasn’t suffered, I’m actually receiving more traffic, (it did go down a little when I was working so far away and was too tired to blog), and if someone has an issue they can come to me. Does writing paid posts work? Yes. Thank goodness for PPP or I would not have been able to afford Christmas or driving to work.
