A week ago I joined PayPerPost to make money. I wanted to have a little something to play with and I figured at most I would have $20-50. A week later and I have over $100. It takes 30 days for the payment to hit your PayPal, so I have yet to actually receive payment, but it is coming. Like I mentioned in a previous post, it is completely up to you to post what you want, there are always a multitude of choices depending on the type of blog you have or the things you are interested in. Anyways, if you do sign up, can you do me a favor and use my email, SumnerRain@gmail.com, as your referral?
Here are the standard requirements (coppied from the PPP website).
- You must be 18 to participate or have written consent by a legal guardian.
- All posts must be in English on a blog written in the English language.
- Your blog must also be at least 90 days old, verifiable by a third party index of the site.
- The content of each post must be unique. You may not post the same thing on different blogs. You may not copy someone else’s post (except when specified by the advertiser).
- We reserve the right to deny any post and cancel any account at any time at our sole discretion.

He cannot seem to go to the grocery store just once… he loves it so much he has to go back for more… groceries that is. Part of it was my fault though, I forgot some things on the list. Some things were his… (ie get buns when you get bratwurst).

There is a lot of controversy behind PayPerPost, the blog advertising company I joined a little over a week ago, stating that advertising on blogs is deceitful. I do not believe that to be the case though, because I have strict rules I must follow to prevent my blog from becoming an ad only forum. I also adhere to a strict moral code, which is why I never joined AdSense; I do not like ads on my blog which *I* do not personally endorse. Before I blog about an opportunity, or website, I go there and check it out and see if it would be useful for me; and then if it would be useful to you. If the posts meet BOTH requirements, then I will blog about it. There are about 100-150 opportunity to chose from in a given day, so I am given a lot of freedom to chose. I don’t understand how critics can find that deceiving, since it is the responsibility of the blogger to uphold the standard of their own blog. It will be very interesting to see if after a month I feel the same.

Bobby’s coworker and friend from out of town has flewn up for a couple weeks to help him with his first class. Anyways, sitting in a hotel room is no fun, so we have invited him over for a home BBQ. We are having steaks, bratwurst, pasta salad and corn on the cob. Yummy!

…will be a new dining room set, ours is just too small for the whole family, and is the only piece of light wood we own. Most of our furniture is dark rich cherry wood in a deep finish and it all looks masculine, yet timeless. We are limited by space also, as our house has an eat in kitchen, and not a dining room. I imagine with our requirements, and my pickiness, it will be a while until we actually bring it home!

I have two orange belts! They should get their belts on Tuesday, so I will try to get & post pictures then. Austin was almost in tears he was so excited and proud. I am so happy they have something in their lives that fill them with so much pride.
To celebrate we took the boys out to The Olive Garden, Austin ordered an adult plate of fettuccine alfredo… Can you believe he was the only person who ate all his food? This was after a plate of salad and a bread stick by the way. The kid is hollow!
