Bad News MO Players...Reply
Wow! Did I ever get a response to my e-mail. I had to scroll down 7 times with my scroll button on my mouse to read the whole response. It was very informative. It is what should have been posted on the website at least 2 weeks ago, if not longer. One section of the response said they were going to post something on the website tonight about it. That's a 3 day notice before it happens.Anyway, they have actually raised the prizes again, but only $2 per hit. It's a flat $600 dollars for a P3 strai

Study: Brain Prefers Working for CashReply
My experience has been that it's more rewarding to earn money rather than have it fall into my lap. It has been said that only someone who has created his own fortune (through labor) can really enjoy the fortune he has created, because he knows its value whereas someone who hasn't done the work to create it cannot.On the other hand ...I am stuck in a career vacuum from which there is no escape. I am highly educated, yet I can't get a job in the field for which I'm trained. And I can't afford to
