Ahhhh Lisa.... I SOOOO missed the discussions here about you and your love life! You sure make me smile and realize that marriage can still be a forever thing! You are such and encourager!
I've been a member for awhile, but I've never felt like I *belonged* (a common feeling throughout my life, FWIW)...and since I'm a big one for helping (either other SR users or trying to help with issues by describing thoroughly) and righting "wrongs", and I don't always phrase things perfectly, that can definitely be read as being complainy. Never feels like it to me, I feel like I'm helping, but eventually I tried to shush myself...
But I also got heartbroken by cyber-turned-real-life-friends from the one board where I tried to make friends ages ago (not here), so I mainly use forums for getting help, helping others, and...that's pretty much it.
A hint for not being overwhelmed by "ack" threads....don't click New Posts! I never do, don't even know where that button is. I go through each forum one by one, look at what I want to look at, don't look at what I don't want to. I see the threads that are newly posted or newly replied to, I rarely miss something, and I just plod along through it...without being overwhelmed. I don't do New Posts on ANY board I'm on...I just plod along through each subforum!
linanglab, I'm sorry you've been going through such problems. I never saw you post about any of it until you came back...
I'm still around. But, I do more stalking than talking. My girls are in 10th and 7th grade and enjoying it very much. I encouraged them to join clubs, that is probably what I remember most about school. They took me to heart. Anna is already in 2 clubs, GS and helps with a church youth group, today, she announced a 3rd club she wants to join. Grace is already in 3 clubs, GS and helps with the same youth group.
Between their social lives and my job...and Facebook...I am not as active. But, I still love SR and do enjoy the friendships and reading about TR, weddings, new babies, etc.
I realize that it was Crocs who dropped the ball. But it's really a shame because everyone lost out as a result. I didn't order the shoes I wanted, SR didn't get the $ from the order, and Crocs lost a sale. I was hoping that Crocs would have at least honored the coupon since it was THEIR mistake. Oh, well. I do appreciate you trying.
this just cracked me up!!! Love it! Well, my lame story is that I cashed out for my trip! and I took a well deserved break. Plus, I am a homeschooling mom and when school started mid August my life got uber busy.
I enjoy the community here too! I used to belong to a couple other boards (not rewards boards-kids clothing) which is how I met a couple of the members here who are friends. Boards go in cycles and so does life. I am back b/c I enjoy the community and the options to shop and earn but I must admit that since I can't earn any more money before I go on my trip next month I am not as 'driven' as I was before, kwim?
funny though, as I was out shopping yesterday on the way home I was thinking gee, skechers probably is on SR and I could've earned some cash! BUT, with my kids and the need to try stuff on it is really difficult to buy online, unless I have options to return in store. Stuff like that makes me buy offline instead. Not b/c of anything else really......I need a nintendo ds for my dd's bday coming up though...so I am going to look here first! She doesn't have to try that on!
I'm one of those disappearing people. I joined SR awhile back for a Disney trip. I got frustrated because I had a hard time qualifying for surveys. After I got $25 (most from shopping), I cashed out and quit.
Now I have a WDW trip and a Disney cruise planned for next year. So I thought I would give it another try. I got excited to see that there are more survey opportunities but wouldn't you know it...I can't seem to qualify for most of them. Today I tried all 6 of the survey opportunities several times. After all of that, I made it to the end of two surveys
After reading some of the posts here, I've decided I'm going to keep trying. I really need the money but it does get a bit frustrating to spend 5 or 10 minutes answering questions only to be told you don't qualify
