Another opportunity from dNeero.com for me to join in the latest conversation. Today's conversation is about gas station Convenience.
Do we get our gas at a place where we can get a lot more done? We're on the move and but when we stop we like to make the most of it ... or it may be better to find a specialist store rather than opt for convenience.
For me personally, I am a little to cheap to pay for convenience. I refused to pay $2.09 for a two liter bottle of soda, especially when the supermarket is only a 1/4 mile away. I love the pay at the pump and rarely have to go inside. On those rare occasions when I do go inside I can say, I have avoided the temptation of buying any impulse items.
My kids get annoyed because they are always looking to spend MY money on the overpriced junk food but as far as I am concerned until they are paying the bills and earning their own money, they will have too deal with my tight wad ways.
I will admit I have sometimes indulged in a nice cold fountain drink or a steeping hot cup of coffee. Sometimes, it just too darn hot here in Florida or I am in desperate need of a caffeine pick me up!
So what's your deal? Do you pay more for convenience or are you a thrifty shopper too? Can you avoid buying that overpriced candy bar at the checkout? Join in the conversation, share your views and earn a little chump change for your input!
For all those who are following my earnings progress, here's the latest update. As of a few days ago, I was officially paid by dNeero.com as soon as my balance reached $20.00. I received payment directly to my paypal account. No waiting, no check in the mail! My favorite kind of payment. This is my second paid conversation since I received payment.
I actually had a running balance of $0.13 from additional impressions since my last payment. You still earn on impressions for a set amount of time. I currently have a pending balance of $0.20 for the first new conversation and the completion of this conversation will automatically add another $0.18 to my pending balance.
Some of you may be thinking, why bother. It's a mere $0.18! But here's the thing, if you are a member of a few social networks, you can easily accumulate quite a few impressions by posting your results in your blog. You can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. You are increasing your impressions and you are increasing your activity in your social network.

My invitation to the newest dneero true social conversation was about massages. There are over 80 types of massage therapy. In all of them, therapists press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body, often varying pressure and movement. They most often use their hands and fingers, but may use their forearms, elbows, or feet. Typically, the intent is to relax the soft tissues, increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the massaged areas, warm them, and decrease pain. 
I participated in a previous HammeRuler HammeRuler ... It's new, really new! We often come across products that initially look like a good idea, but then we realize that the inventor, producer, and marketer really haven't asked those that will use it to get involved in the development. So, we're going to avoid this mistake -- with your help, of course. 
The latest paid survey invitation from dneero is about the temporary tax cut on gasoline on the holiday weekends. Memorial Day has already come and gone but Labor Day was the other holiday mentioned. Tax or No Tax on gasoline? Is it really a way to immediately deal with high gasoline prices in the U.S.? I recently read an article in the Washington Post that made me realize, it really isn't a good deal for consumers at all. In essence, the temporary savings will cause a loss in government spending elsewhere and more than likely, we, the consumers, will be paying for it somewhere, somehow, someday! Hmmm, doesn't seem like a very lucrative deal to me! It does sound more like the upcoming election popularity contest. It seems like this conversation had a lot more questions than previous conversations. I guess more people were interested in expressing their views about the price of gasoline and how it is effecting them. 
Woohoo, I'm doing a little money dance! I do believe the invitation I received today to participate in the HammeRuler conversation will put me over the $20.00 mark. So, I am excited about the possibility of being paid within the next five days and doing a little dancing. I have no reason to believe that I won't be paid but I just want to make it clear to anyone reading my dNeero postings and earnings that I have 
One evening an elderly gentleman came in and needed assistance finding toenail clippers. I walked him over to the nail care products and showed him the selection of toenail clippers we had. Well, he said he already tried cutting his nails with those kinds of toenail clippers. He said the toenail clippers broke when he tried cutting his nails. I found this a little strange but kept my composure as I listened to this man describe his toenail cutting dilemma. I have been using toenail clippers for years and I couldn't fathom the thought of breaking a toenail clipper in the process! 
Here's a picture of a haircut I have been trying to get for the past 5 years. I have gone to about 6 different hairdressers and no one has been able to successfully cut it like that. I don't think it's an impossible cut. After all my current hair cut is somewhat similar. I'm not knocking hair dressers, some of them actually do an amazing job, unfortunately, I haven't found the right hairdresser for me. My girls both found a great hairdresser for their hair and their style and so have my boys. Maybe, I'm just too picky. (LOL) If you have a minute, be sure to check out my latest survey results below. As you can see, the surveys is short and sweet and the best part, it's making me money!
