    I'll have a fantastic birthday :)

    Yeah I've never had to deal with bipolar disorder before. She is 26, never figured she would develop symptoms this late in life, but that just goes to show you how uneducated the average person is.

    Thank you guys. Since I moved out, I've been struggling, really really bad. This is where I make my food. Straight up. $15 a day, I can eat. I eat because of this site. People make money on here like nothing, and they're so damn happy... two dollars pays for a meal of mine. I never thought it would be this way.

    She burned through $17k of our money on shopping (Nordstroms, Macys, Coach, Nordstroms, more Nordstroms, etc.) which was meant for our wedding. It hurts, I won't lie. But I gotta look out for myself. The reason I turk is the reason I live... to take care of myself. I do this for food. Every fourty cents is a fifth of a meal for me.

    I love you guys.

    Hey man, nothing wrong with food stamps if you qualify. If you qualify, you should definitely take it. I've done it in the past, food is great when it's free and socialized so you can save money more effectively and better yourself.

    Tried it with firefox and chrome. The radio button stays the same but I hope it counts my clicks when I click on a different selection

    I've been clicking the words this whole time... not the buttons directly. It still advances that way. I hope it's registering my answers. :x

    I think focusing on this forum for HITs is helpful, but it's not the best way to find work. The minute a HIT is posted here, particularly batches, the less value they hold. Why? Because people focus on HITs in this thread.

    Example: SET Master. Those batches used to be good for a couple hundred HITs a day. Now, instead of realizing they're posted at almost the exact same time every day and looking for them, someone (or more) will goo "set master" and the crowd rushes like gawkers to a gory accident. Slurp! They're gone. Then the same crowd waits until the next attraction rolls through.

    Never gonna make money like that because depending on spoon feeding means people will only get what someone gives them. A "Golden Requester" list is nice but when a buttload of people have their page monitor (which I don't use) set for the same requesters, that same buttload of people will be chasing a very limited amount of work. The only script I use is Block Requesters and I've blocked just about every requester on that list, either because I don't care to do the work they post or because I know that's the work the crowd is chasing and I'm not going to mad dash for a penny HIT.

    So, in a sense, monitoring this forum tells me when to leave a batch, meaning I'll find it, work it until the spoon-feeding-dependent find out it's there, then if I hear the sucking sound, I'll leave it and go find something else to do. And it's not hard to find something else to do because there's always work to be done.

    It's also a progressive illness, getting worse as you age:

    It's hard when the person you love has a mental illness, but you have to take a step back and realize that it's not up to you to "fix" that person and what they really need is professional treatment and to learn coping skills to deal with their disorder.

    ...are you serious?

    Are you two serious?

    My night is almost over. I drank some rum and played some video games with two friends. My midnight birthday was enough.

    Then, two glorious, wonderful, thoughtful turkers sent me money. Oh my god. That money... it's going to pay for so much. Deodorant, new toothpaste, and most importantly FOOD! I can EAT because of donations.

    I can't tell you... I really can't tell you two how much this means to me. I can't. I just can't. I wish I could send you a receipt to show you how much this does for me. Oh my god.

    I'm... just too happy right now. 29 year old male and there are tears in my eyes.
