Taylor - Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: A Literature Unit From $8 Olivier Dunrea - Ollie From $7 The Bottom Line I'm back and nobody even knew I was gone. Boo-Hoo. Well, I did it. I stayed away from this place for one month. I went to a E-pinions rehab clinic, up here in the shady pines of Canada. This is not a relapse but a little hello just to say I'm doing fine. My apartments floor can be seen again, I found my dog (a little skinnier but still okay) and rediscovered my life away from the front of this screen (man has my child grown.) What I really did, was take a break to see if not attending this site, for a months time, would in anyway effect my account and standings. This is what I learnt. One, in order to clear that 100.00 mark for us Canadains, you must type at least two opinions per day. At an average of 25 hits per review. Thats .50 cents a day so thats 200 days, or 6 months and 20 days. Most opinions take 15-20 minutes to write so you make .75 hour. SO, that's 240 hours of your life for 100.00 not including time to find a good topic and assuming that all of your E-pinions are worthy.(unlike this one).This also includes the fact that you are typing an opinion everyday, for 6 and 1/2 months straight. Any break will expand the length of ever reaching that first cheaque. This month break showed that I made six more cents on past reviews. Thats all. And my absence also lower the number of people in my web of trust. In conclusion, If you are a person who is either really lonely and have no life or a very determined, strong willed, dedicated person, it will still take you half a year, minimum, to ever get a cheaque from this site. So make sure you take care of the more important things first like your fish and your personal hygiene. Just a thought. BODYFARM(really this is not a relapse.)
