Super glue, again...

Shit just won't work on anything but your fingers.

Think I'm gonna try 2 part epoxy instead. Hopefully that will do the job...

2 x :)

- I do online surveys from survey providers in my spare time to earn cash and/or Paypal credits for stuff on Ebay -- Got this neat radio station survey today that had me go through nearly *800* 10 second "hooks" from rock songs in the 70s-this year. Reminded me of how much I used to listen to radio :lol: Payout will be $6 to my Paypal balance.

- Also, Clockwork Angels (new Rush album) comes out May 29th!

800 songs * 10 seconds each = 8000 seconds = 133 minutes 20 seconds = 2 hours 13 minutes 20 seconds

2:13:20 at $6 is less than three dollars an hour. My god, why would you do that?

What do you mean? Anyone can calculate it. It's not rocket science.

For what it's worth, I can't do rocket science.

That's actually not too bad by survey site standards... I'm a member of one survey site that takes probably 12 hours worth of surveying over a period of about 1 year to earn a $25 Gamestop gift card. Not much fun.

My mom is a member of a really good one. Every survey takes anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour, and she earns $3 via snail-mail for each one. Sadly, it's invite-only.

Ticked : Acne's been getting progressively worse over the years. It never leaves my mind when I go out either. :( It's not like I'm not trying to keep it at bay either, I eat extremely healthy and take care of my skin etc. I even live with an esthetician. :x

Frown: Lady gave me a terrible haircut today. :? It grows back. :lol:

Smile : Everything else is going great for once, and for the last 3 months I haven't had any real depressive periods or anxiety attacks. :D

Huh, that's strange... I've always heard it's supposed to lessen over time. I think there are shots you can get if it becomes too much of a problem, but those aren't exactly enjoyable.
