That's what I figured. The best way to get rids of ants permanently is to buy one of those ant trap boxes. They get the poison on their legs and bring it back to the nest.
Then it WAS bad news. For some of us, it's not our only income. Actually the recession began in 2008, and my own business started sliding into the sewer. But I have Social Security.
That's exactly right. It was 2008 (October, when Lehman Brothers collapsed) and lost my job later in early 09. Then in August of '09 I was listening to a science podcast in which the two guys were talking about -- you guessed it -- mechanical turk. And my ears perked up. And so instead of listening to podcasts and playing chess online for like 14 hours a day (yep, that's where I got my endurance. If you can endure looking at a chess board for 14 hours, you can endure anything on turk lol) I tried turk out and the rest is history.

Technically, it still IS a home repair service. Now I also have a little driving service, mostly for elderly people. I believe I will have a car again after this weekend. With all the hours you work, I hope you still have time to enjoy your money.

Neither Firefox nor Chrome would open the HIT in the frame. They've got some security issue. It did work (and submit) when I opened it manually (and overrode Chrome's bitching) in another tab. I dispute their $2 AVERAGE after bonus though. If I'd got everything right, and had perfect luck, I might just barely have eeked out $2. So more like $2 maximum. Honestly, with the security hassle and iffy bonus, not worth bothering for me.
