<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I needed to shop for my Granddaughter's Birthday, So I decided to check on one of my apps to see how many points I've accumulated </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's called <a href="https://www.embeepay.com/mpm/bin/invite/3305544030/1482" target="_blank">Mobile Performance Meter</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">From their site:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px;">I know, you're thinking.. ok, so what's the catch? Do you take my personal information and sell it? Do you install something untrustworthy on my phone?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Nope, nothing of the sort. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Here's the deal -- do you remember those Verizon ads, where the guy in glasses is walking around and saying, "can you hear me now?" </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Actually, mobile carriers like Verizon and AT&T really do that. They are constantly paying people to go to various locations, and report on call quality, internet quality and so on. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">And now, they want to pay YOU to do the same thing!</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">These companies want to pay people just like you to tell them how well your phone is working. And to make that super easy for you, we made an application, the Mobile Performance Meter, that automatically does all the work for you. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">So all you have to do it let the Meter do the work, and you get paid)</b></span><div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It runs in the back ground on your mobile phone and is completely non intrusive. I've cashed out numerous times for Virtual Visas and Amazon gift cards. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I ended up cashing out for an Amazon gift card and then I went to my 'go to' shopping app <a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/LUVMYP141?eeid=28187" target="_blank">Ebates</a>! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After using my Amazon gift cards from <a href="https://www.embeepay.com/mpm/bin/invite/3305544030/1482" target="_blank">Mobile Performance Meter</a> and doing my shopping on Amazon</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> through </span><a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/LUVMYP141?eeid=28187" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Ebates</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">and also doing our taxes through the <a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/LUVMYP141?eeid=28187" target="_blank">Ebates</a> site </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">(they have a lot of tax prep sites to chose from),</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I ended up making money for something I was going to do any way!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Never! It's been a long week, Bob and I both home sick all week, trying to nurse each other back to health. (What a sh*t show, lol)<!-- Begin TwitThis (http://twitthis.com/) -->

<div style="text-align: center;">
Was I to sick to make a couple bucks? No but I was to sick to put any real effort in to it. Lucky for me, I've learned a few things. Like, let your smart phone on PC do the work for you, I make an easy $10.00 every month from <a href="http://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=7643013" target="_blank"><b>Survey Savvy</b></a> just for installing their App on my PC and on my smart phone. Each device you install the App on will net you $5.00 per month as long as you keep the app installed. Want to make even more money with <a href="http://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=7643013" target="_blank"><b>Survey Savvy</b></a>? They have surveys available also. So you can easily make a few dollars a month with zero effort or do a few surveys and make even more. I have $7.00 in available surveys to take with them right now which I'll be getting to today now that I'm getting back to the land of the living. That's an easy $17.00 so far this month, provided I qualify for all available surveys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, if you like easy money like I do, check out <a href="http://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=7643013" target="_blank"><b>Survey Savvy</b></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my next post post I'll show you more ways to make money with little to no effort. You wont get rich but hey, who doesn't like extra money?</div>

A lot has happened over the past couple years. My posting of reviews and giveaways came to a screeching halt when my ex-husband and I split up. I just lost track of everything it seems while going through a divorce, looking for a new place to live, having to go back to work full time, etc... </span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, these days I am a happily divorced woman, still have to work full time but I did buy a home and somebody has to pay the bills. So, I work full time & spend five days a week managing a bar/restaurant that I initially started working at about 11 years ago part time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now I seem to have some time on my hands due to an injury I received at work. I've been off since May and not sure when I'll be able to go back. This could of all been avoided but since the "new guy" bought the bar we can no longer get help from customers with any of the heavy lifting. So, hauling a dolly up a ramp backwards with 200 lbs. of chicken wings on it, I ended up hurting my arm & shoulder during a fall with the dolly. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now what? Well, I figure as long as I have time to sit here on my butt I might as well start updating the blog again. Now the question is, update it with what? Obviously there isn't any product reviews or giveaways going on right now. So, I'll either change things up for awhile or start a new blog. Starting a new blog seems kind of a hassle since I already have so many links and other things set up for this one. So for now, we'll start small until I get back into the swing of things. Maybe start with some things that interest me that I feel are worth sharing with you and see where it goes from there. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, until we meet again............ take care of each other. </span></div>

</div>Mommy-hood, meets comedy, meets mystery, Bundle of Trouble is a bundle of emotions, you'll laugh, you'll wonder "who did it?" and most of all, you'll be intrigued, through every chapter.<br />
<br />
Office manager Kate Connolly becomes a super-sleuth and a new mom in the same week. From the moment she and newborn Laurie lock eyes, Kate can't imagine returning to work after her six-week maternity leave, but in expensive San Francisco, she and her ad exec husband, Jim, need every bit of both incomes. Then a dead body is fished out of the bay and linked to Jim's estranged brother, George. Both the police and PI Albert Galigani, hired by the dead man's mother, believe that Jim and Kate know more than they're revealing. Kate is determined to find the elusive George and get some answers, but she soon gets in over her head. <br />
<br />
<br />
Kate Connolly, a big fan of "To Do" lists throughout the book, one example,<br />
<br />

4. Interview Kiku (bring own water!).<br />
5. Call Winter Henderson re: hippie chick alibi.<br />
6. Read the parenting book from library.<br />

{Excerpt from Chapter One}<br />
Labor<br />
The phone rang, interrupting the last seconds of the 49ers game.<br />
“Damn,” Jim said. “Final play. Who’d be calling now?”<br />
“Don’t know,” I said from my propped position on the couch.<br />
I was on doctor’s orders for bed rest. My pregnancy had progressed with practically no<br />
hang ups, except for the carpal tunnel and swollen feet, until one week before my due date when<br />
my blood pressure skyrocketed. Now, I was only allowed to be upright a few minutes every<br />
couple of hours to accommodate the unavoidable mad dash to the bathroom.<br />
“Everyone I know is watching the game. It’s gotta be for you,” Jim said, stretching his<br />
long legs onto the ottoman.<br />
I struggled to lean forward and grab the cordless phone.<br />
“Probably your mom,” he continued.<br />
I nodded. Mom was checking in quite often now that the baby was two days overdue. An<br />
entire five minutes had passed since our last conversation.<br />
“Hello?”<br />
A husky male voice said, “This is Nick Dowling…”<br />
" Just as the phone rings with possible news of Jim's brother, George, Kate goes into labor with their first child, Laurie.<a href="http://dianaorgain.com/">http://dianaorgain.com/</a><br />

This coconut oil has so many uses it's unbelievable, well until you try it for yourself anyway. Then you'll be a believer too.<br /><br />Now my husband is not a fan of anything coconut and around the same time I received my jar of <a href="http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/">Tropical Traditions</a> Coconut Oil my husband went to his Dr. to find out his cholesterol and blood pressure were pretty high. We've always cooked with vegetable oil, olive oil, butter, you name it, we've probably tried it (even bacon grease in the fried potatoes).<br /><br />Well after reading some of the health reasons for using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TTVCO</span> in the book I received with my jar of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">TTVCO</span>, I decided to try to be a little sneaky. I've cooked almost everything with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TTVCO</span> and so far he hasn't said a word. I even put it in the cornbread mix that my husband just has to have!<br /><br />That's because even though the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">TTVCO</span> has a great coconut smell and taste, when you cook with it, a lot of the coconut flavor cooks out. Although I can still taste it, maybe because I know it's there but my husband has not even detected the coconut flavor in any of the foods I've cooked in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">TTVCO</span>. I'm betting it's probably not hurting his bad cholesterol level either!<br /><br />I also have been using the <a href="http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">TTVCO</span></a> on both of my cats food, I use 1 tsp. in each cat's bowl of dry food, one of our cats has long hair which results in coughing up hairballs (I know, it's gross). I've had the 2 cats on hairball control food for 2 years but he still does it. Since I started using the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">TTVCO</span> on his food I've noticed a significant decrease in the amount of hairballs and their fur seems softer & shinier too. I use it in the food of my 3 birds as well and it has helped so much with their molts. They don't spend nearly as much time picking at the feathers, they have very active lives and seem very healthy and happy. The bird dust and dander seems to have decreased also.<br /><br />I myself have some issues with diverticulitis and can honestly say that I have not had a single flair up since I started using Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil. My energy level has also gotten better.<br /><br />Earlier I mentioned the book I received with my jar of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">TTVCO</span>, aptly named "Virgin Coconut Oil' This book is full of information on the health benefits of using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">TTVCO</span>, information on how the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">TTVCO</span> is made, recipes, uses in pets, and lots, lots more.<br /><br />You can learn more about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">TTVCO</span> and how it was discovered here:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4h6eycjf29M&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4h6eycjf29M&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Now, want to get your own jar of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">TTVCO</span>?
