I don't know why but I got credit for two survey's yesterday. I can't even remember the survey I take but is this a mistake? Or is it just a delay credit?

It might be a delayed one. What I do that might help...I have a notebook on my desk, I write down what the survey was about and what time I finiished, then the next day when it credits, I mark it "paid". That way I have a log of what surveys I've taken, especially for those that ask, have you taken a "insert specific product here" survey in the last xx days/months? Then I can look back b/c honestly if I didn't have that I don't remember in a few hours what I've done!

That is a perfect idea. It really ties into my brain injury and what I have to do already to remember important things that happen during the day. I keep a journal for people I have met or commitments I make. This can just be a new kind of journal for surveys.

Great idea.

I also put what time I take surveys, just in case I get into a 24 hour cycle (for some reason my 24 hour thing has lifted to some extent, maybe b/c I'm doing them relatively early in my day?) so I know when to come back.

And being on the west coast, I get those delayed ones, where I finish one after midnight eastern time, and I know it won't credit the next day, but it will credit the *following* day...I like keeping track of those.

no DS options for me today i'll keep trying, but it's not looking good...oh well, back to work.

i'm truly sorry you are having such a bad time getting a ds g/f. just relax for a while and i can guarantee before the day is over you will get one. i feel like i know you (after all our messages about surveys and such) and i know you will prevail. have a wonderful day and keep smiling.

A whole bunch of options just opened up for me. Just in case that info helps anyone else!

Earlier today I did the Hair one with the same results as everyone else. I haven't been able to get back to trying until a little while ago. This time I got one or bathroom fixtures. It required me to download a file, then interact with a moderator and other people to give my opinions. I spent 1/2 hour on this survey, gave what I thought were thoughtful answers, got thanked for participating, then got the SR screen that I didn't qualify. Beware if you get sucked into doing this one.

[marcymajor]

i just knew you would get one g/f. i hope you have a wonderful rest of the day and a very special evening. keep on smiling.

Oh gracious. Should any of you get a survey that starts with the distinctive statement

This survey requires that pop-up blockers be turned off to allow pop-ups.

Please do the needful and click NEXT to start the Study once you are ready.

, settle in and enjoy the following hour!

Sometimes I think surveys just ask a bit too much of us, and this was one of them. Too many subjects. But not funny (apart from "do the needful") like the ones that say, basically, "and now for something completely different". LOL
