<br />
It is my hope to make a few clay sculpted/painted necklaces. If I can sell them for about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">$7</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">$10</span> a necklace at about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">4</span> - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">6</span> depending on the size of lace I use, that should be enough to take me to Step <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">14</span>. Even after all the necklaces are made, I might even have enough clay to sculpt something else and sell that too!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping that I will be able to use eBay/PayPal, however I will try selling them in person first due to the rules stating I must use actual money 'notes' until around Step <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">15</span>. I will do my best to honor this rule.<br />
<br />
Onward!! CHARGE!<br />

<br />
Sad I know.<br />
<br />
However, as I was watching one of my upper favorites [<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Ship In A Bottle</span>] I suddenly had a revelation that made me feel STUPID as can be.<br />
<br />
The episode is based on the idea that a holodeck character [<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Professor Moriarty</span>] is suddenly endowed with higher consciousness whereas he understands beyond the holodeck. He knows Picard and Crew and knows about the Enterprise, and wants to LEAVE it to go into 'the real world'.<br />
<br />
After locking Picard, Data and Brocoli in a holodeck and making them believe they were still on the Enterprise, Picard finds a way to program the holodeck INSIDE the holodeck to convince Moriarty that he was actually leaving the holodeck and going into 'the real world'.<br />
<br />
Now if you're interested in the rest of the story [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPYHP1S2dL4&feature=related"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">watch this</span></a>] from [<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">5:15 - end</span>] so you can understand what I am about to say.<br />
<br />
The 100+ times I've watched this episode, I always ALWAYS automatically thought without any other thought, that Picard was talking in reference to the possibility that the Enterprise and her crew and their universe was just a simulation sitting on someone's table.<br />
<br />
It hadn't OCCURRED to me until THIS time, years later, that Picard was ACTUALLY talking about the Star Trek Episodes running on my laptop sitting on my desk... HAHAHAHAHA!!!! *<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">brilliant</span>*<br />

I found this penny on the ground." and gave it to me. Considering that any found or given money can be applied to DTAMP I was rather excited and thought about the scripture that says<br />
<br />
"He who <span style="color: lime;">has</span>, more shall be <span style="color: lime;">given</span>. He who has <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">not</span>, even what he has shall be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">taken</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>away."<br />
<br />
I still don't know completely what this means. However I was reminded of this scripture because I saw a change in certain things in my life since starting this project. I am far more 'noticing' when it comes to trades and money in general. I don't take even a single penny lightly anymore when I used to simply pass on by and never give a care.<br />
<br />
Funny the way life works. *<span style="color: lime;">raises eyebrow</span>*<br />
<br />
I almost couldn't make out the year on this penny due to the damage, but after a little searching I found it. <br />

[[<span style="color: lime;">DTAMP II</span>]]<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">name</span>]: Double To A Million Plan. In my case, it's DTAMP II for (<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">the second</span>) because I started my current project as a referred member. Xinfinitum is the one who showed me the way and is quite far ahead. Check out my "Officers" list to visit his blog.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">idea</span>]: To start with a single penny you find, or are given and eventually double your way to a million dollars.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">stake</span>]: Your project's current funds. This is the amount you have in DTAMP at any given time and what you will use to further yourself in steps.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">steps</span>]: There are 28 steps you must complete in order to finish the project.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">rules</span>]: There are 13 rules that you will need to follow if you would like to finish the project the way it was intended.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">support</span>]: Just like anything, it's healthy for your project to have those who share in your experiences. Who can lift you up and encourage you.<br />

[[<span style="color: lime;">STAMP</span>]]<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">name</span>]: Save To A Million Plan.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">idea</span>]: This is a program made to augment DTAMP without breaking any of the rules. While DTAMP is in operation, this project is made to increase your funds so that when DTAMP is complete, you can add your STAMP funds to the overall project.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">bank</span>]: Your current STAMP funds. This will not include future STAMP made investments.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">steps</span>]: There are 15 steps to complete STAMP. Once you reach step 15 and make your first investment, you will recycle back to step 10 and start from there instead of starting from scratch.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;">rules</span>]: There are 7 rules to follow if you wish to run this project as it was intended.<br />

The STAMP Bank steps double until Step <span style="color: lime;">6</span>, then each step is in increments of <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>$400.00</span>] per step. This was done because this is strictly a savings project with no doubling 'technique' involved. <br />
<br />
<br />
Like DTAMP, [STAMP] has a few rules to follow in order to protect the DTAMP project.<br />
<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule I</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">DTAMP is the priority</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
All of DTAMP'S 13 rules are in continuous affect. The STAMP project is only to help make <span style="color: lime;">OTHER </span>funds (<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">non DTAMP funds</span>) as valuable and purposeful as possible. If you find a five dollar bill laying on the ground, PLEASE do <span style="color: red;">NOT </span>put that in your STAMP Bank since finding 'free' money on the ground (<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">assuming you can't find the owner</span>) is completely within the guidelines of adding that to your DTAMP Stake.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule II</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">STAMP Bank Spending</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
Just like DTAMP, you <span style="color: white;">CANNOT </span>spend a single cent in your STAMP Bank. You must use the same discipline you're showing for your DTAMP Stake with your STAMP Bank.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule III</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">DTAMP Over Stepping</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
DTAMP Rule IV states that if you go OVER the amount for that step, then you take away the 'over amount' and spend it on yourself. In this case, you <span style="color: lime;">CAN </span>'spend it on yourself' by adding it to your STAMP Bank, since you're going to invest it and get it all back in the end anyway.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule IV</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">Initial Investment</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
This can essentially be whatever amount you want. It can come from any source so long as it isn't funds attached in anyway to your DTAMP Stake/Project. STAMP Step 2 starts the system at $25 - $50, but you can start from any step with any amount. <span style="color: lime;">CAUTION</span>: Since Rule II is in effect, you <span style="color: white;">CANNOT </span>spend this money once you invest it in STAMP. Invest with care. <br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule V</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">Secondary Investments</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
You can add to this fund any time your heart desires with just about any money you want, providing it is NOT DTAMP possible funding. DTAMP is the priority.<br />
<br />
Once you reach Step 15 and you have $4,000.00 in your STAMP Bank, your next goal is to take $2,000.00 of it and invest it in a secure fund of some kind. Mutual Funds &/or CD's with a small but efficient return would be preferable. <span style="color: lime;">CAUTION</span>: The idea is to invest in a <span style="color: yellow;">Medium Yield</span>/<span style="color: lime;">Low RISK</span> fund. You worked really hard to save this money so CONTINUE using it to slowly increase your STAMP Bank.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule VI</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">STAMP Bank Reset</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
Once you have removed $2,000.00 from your STAMP Bank, you will be left with the remaining $2,000.00 at Step 10. Your next goal is to keep this amount in there and begin saving yet again to get back up to Step 15. The idea here is that people like to know that there is still something left over. By taking only 2k and leaving 2k, you have a beautiful base to start again from without having to start from scratch. Once you gain to Step 15 (<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">for the second/third/etc time</span>) you take that 2k and invest it in another fund.<br />
<br />
[<span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">[</span>Rule VII</span>]] - [<span style="color: lime;">Journal</span>] <span style="color: lime;"><span style="color: white;">--------------</span></span>---------------------------------------]<br />
<br />
In conjunction with DTAMP Rule VI, keep a journal. Cataloging your progress will give substance and flavor to your adventure. It gives you an 'in your face' experience you normally wouldn't have otherwise. <br />

<br />
I opened both a DTAMP checking account for future use, and a STAMP Savings account at the same time. Since neither of these accounts will be 'joined' in any such way, I thought this was an excellent way of keeping things rather organized.<br />
<br />
I took the liberty of pulling all of my loose change I could find at home, including but not limited to all my pennies in my vase. I counted them all, and took a picture for blogsake.<br />

The ladies at the bank thought I was pretty ODD when I asked them to pull a clean 50 dollar bill out of my original savings to place in my new savings account....

Especially when those rules work.<br />
<br />
Since I've started DTAMP, I have been desiring to add supplemental income to help boost DTAMP along it's course. To 'floof' wind in the sail so to speak. However, this would break one of the 13 set rules for DTAMP and I KNOW beyond ANY doubt that as soon as I break even ONE rule, my mindset for this project will be irrevocably altered.<br />
<br />
I cannot allow that.<br />
<br />
Therefore!! I am PLEASED to present to you all...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCZoPLkr1t5lVBZQY7J5ha6xo7QFeBex3TMXzbyvzvTzARDLfXK0QYmYdZlNiiHRHg6AGns4tJCEMdAyQl08iogXFGBG8yUacmk372ommzdGhcafofmy2z6eAPkO7he0wOdEpkuhcati0/s1600/stamplogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCZoPLkr1t5lVBZQY7J5ha6xo7QFeBex3TMXzbyvzvTzARDLfXK0QYmYdZlNiiHRHg6AGns4tJCEMdAyQl08iogXFGBG8yUacmk372ommzdGhcafofmy2z6eAPkO7he0wOdEpkuhcati0/s320/stamplogo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">STAMP:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Save To A Million Plan</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What the HECK is that you ask? Good question! Thank you for asking! *ahem*<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">STAMP: Save To A Million Plan</span> - An augmentation program I have built in combination with DTAMP which will help DTAMP's goal without breaking any rules.<br />
<br />
You see, having this revelation that ONE found penny was worth more than the hundreds I had in my little vase at home got me to thinking. I couldn't understand why ONE penny was worth more than a hundred, so I pondered it. I concluded it MUST be something with the mindset instead of the money itself.<br />
<br />
I WANTED my pennies, and all the REST of my money, to have the same kind of value that one penny does, but I remember DTAMP Rule #2 & #9 both of which say you cannot supplement the DTAMP Stake with outside funding of any kind. You must use (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;">say</span>) $10 to buy supplies/etc in order to make the $20 for the next step.<br />
<br />
Since these rules are firmly in affect, STAMP & the STAMP Bank are designed for the sole purpose of allowing you to save the money you WOULD WANT to use to supplement DTAMP but CANNOT due to the rules.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">Base Premise:</span> You have an account or stash area where you can put all the money you want to use for DTAMP but cannot. You save money, change, parts of your paycheck, and whatever money you CANNOT (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;">I REPEAT</span>) CANNOT use in DTAMP. ANY funds you find that you CAN use for DTAMP you use for DTAMP since DTAMP is the priority here.<br />
<br />
At the point in time where your DTAMP project is complete and you finish Step 28 (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;">congratulations!</span>) your STAMP Bank will be DUMPED into your final DTAMP (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;">winnings</span>) as a super EXTRA reward for your patience and hard work. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">:End Base Premise</span><br />
<br />
Since I am going to be opening a second checking account for DTAMP, I've decided that I will also open up an adjacent savings account for STAMP.<br />
<br />
NOW.... ALL of your pennies and floater money is worth something! It's worth something because your newfound STAMP Bank is 'attached' to the value you've created with your DTAMP Stake. You will not only be doubling your DTAMP money with fun and adventurous projects, but you will have your STAMP Bank standing by to be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">ALL YOURS</span> when you finally reach the end... and all of THIS without breaking any rules.<br />
<br />
I've added new Step, Stake/Bank and Step Goal items on the left column.<br />
<br />
STAMP Rulebook to be written/published soon! Stay tuned....<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMPqaToaKwqvzWx_vAgxNM6Vr__nmYRLi2jfbIwDp8a8nbN8QysjCB-7OFoYBSh1-uQjptmxd5eey1S8vAek21uMTDxCPJlUNrlqwbhT1leTkJPGC3Re1CIvlqzkhgxyZPKVi2HcYI70/s1600/step11augment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMPqaToaKwqvzWx_vAgxNM6Vr__nmYRLi2jfbIwDp8a8nbN8QysjCB-7OFoYBSh1-uQjptmxd5eey1S8vAek21uMTDxCPJlUNrlqwbhT1leTkJPGC3Re1CIvlqzkhgxyZPKVi2HcYI70/s200/step11augment.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Penny: [<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">1973D</span>]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It really is amazing. Finding this ONE penny, and using it to augment me just one cent [<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">$10.01</span>], reminded me of when I waited three days to find Step 1's penny.<br />
<br />
I have a little vase thing FULL of pennies at home, but when I waited three days for the first penny and finally found it, it was worth MORE than all of those pennies in that vase combined. <br />
<br />
Then finding THIS penny, it still has even more value then all the change I have saved up anywhere else, and more than anything in my bank account.<br />
<br />
This project seriously teaches how to value your money. I believe that when it comes down to it, I will end up getting rid of most everything I own now, and using my MILLION to re-buy some nice little things like my new home and car and everything else. Those items will have the value that we should have of the things we are responsible of taking care of.<br />
<br />
I am thankful to be allowed to see this take effect in my life. Valuable lesson...<br />

<br />
Friday night: I came in to have a little coffee with my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">$5.00</span> stake (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">since I carry it in a very specific jacket pocket</span>) not actually thinking I would get to move up a step. I sat and waited for some time before I suddenly felt inspired to ask a DIFFERENT waitress if she would assist me in a 'project' and pulling out the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">$5.00</span> I placed it on the table and asked her if she had a 10 dollar bill. She looked at me sideways saying... "Yeeesssss... why?". I smiled and said "I will trade you this 5 dollar bill, for that 10 dollar bill." <br />
<br />
She asked if I was working on some kind of a legit project because she's heard of the guy who traded a paperclip and got millions. When I told her I was but couldn't tell her about it until I was done with it, she smiled and the money was exchanged.<br />
<br />

I feel it's about time to start actually using my stake to purchase things and turning those things into a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">VALUE</span> and attempting to sell/trade that instead. I seriously doubt that someone will trade a $10 bill into a $20. Then again (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">thinks</span>) you never know....<br />

<br />
We usually always sit and talk longer than most, about all KINDS of things. In the midst of it all I asked him if he had a 5 dollar bill. After doing a little searching he flopped one on the table, thinking I was asking him to buy my coffee.<br />
<br />
After explaining that I was actually asking to trade him the 1 dollar bill, quarter and three pennies for the 5 dollar bill, and just a little bit of coaxing... the money was exchanged. [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">THANK YOU</span>]<br />

<br />
It's everywhere.<br />
<br />
I remember a long time ago when my Father told me a story about how he used to work on things in his spare time. He has an incredible sense of will which I admire. Once he told me that at one point he began smoking a pipe. Good flavor, seemingly relaxing qualities, and humans seem to have an affinity for putting things in their mouth no matter WHAT age they're at. Then he said that after a seriously short amount of time his mind began asking for it, then more often, and more often until finally he realized it became an addiction. The pipe smoking began taking over. Then he told me how he made a solid decision, "I will NOT allow THIS to rule me!" and [POW] the spell was broken and the addiction smashed to pieces.<br />
<br />
I recently just underwent my own issue where I notice an addiction, is like a cloud. It slowly creeps in and before you know it you can't see anything.<br />
<br />
Imagine being addicted to something SO badly that you can't imagine your life without it. If you STOP doing this thing you'll never live. You aren't even YOURSELF and you begin wondering if your inner self is ANYTHING like the self you're seeing yourself be. It's TERRIFYING.<br />
<br />
After paying someone for something, in the heat of this addiction, then in the process of 'satisfying' this addiction I suddenly realized, it's not about fighting the monster the addiction creates, it's making the solid choice of not WANTING to be ADDICTED any longer.<br />
<br />
Fight the Addiction, not the monster.<br />
<br />
Like my Father when he made that choice against the pipe, and suddenly it being as if it never were, I watched while in the middle of satisfying this craving, I suddenly didn't want to be addicted anymore and it was as if the GATES were open and this thing which a few minutes prior I absoltely needed, had zero influence. It was as if the thing died in my hand and everything died with it.<br />
<br />
So this new found truth is a treasure INDEED, but I also realized that like a cloud, it can easily creep back in and you constantly have to fight the addiction to keep it at bay, until finally there is nothing of it left.<br />
<br />
While pondering this new revelation, I happened to go through the NOSO's for swagbucks and the CAPTCHA code was "move mountains". How AWESOME.<br />

<br />
Well! I couldn't HIDE my excitement and asked one of them if he would be willing to help me by trading two quarters, a dime and four pennies.... for a Dollar bill, a quarter and three pennies.<br />
<br />
After a funny look with raised eyebrows, and a few looks of confusion and half smile "what the hecks?" between the two of them, the money was exchanged.<br />
<br />

Besides this just being fantastic, and absolutely fun to do, I found it interesting that the three pennies I received [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which he totally chose at random</span>] were in numerical sequence by the date.<br />
<br />
I am now on Step 9 thanks to friends and the lack of them needing to ask WHY I've lost my MIND!<br />

I was so excited I couldn't wait for any friends to show up, so I asked one of the waitresses I know quite well if she would help me by trading this ONE penny, for two quarters, a dime and four pennies. She said "Sure, I'll be right back with that".<br />

<br />
At the job I work, I was once a Driver. One who does odd jobs on site, drives people to and fro on property and gives guests rides to and from the airport. Then I was promoted to a Camera Systems Technician with a new job and a new desk/office of my own.<br />
<br />
Earlier today, I had meandered up to the main office in which I used to have a shared desk for all "drivers" and happened to notice a shiny penny sitting on the base of an old monitor that was made in the 80's. Some companies simply never upgrade anything.<br />
<br />
This is a 1973 - D (mint) penny found Heads Up. <br />
<br />
This penny marks the very FIRST step forward in DTAMP [II].<br />
<br />
"And so........ it begins......."<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Introduction:</span> As one of DTAMP [II] support systems, I felt it necessary to give the full rundown of my personal experiences with swagbucks.com so that you can know what your options are. Normally I would never be so 'involved' with a system like this, but seeing how I am currently experiencing the SUCCESS from this system, and watching other people also succeed with this system, I feel it is a benefit to all, DTAMP[ers] or not.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Base Premise: </span>The basic premise behind swagbucks is that you can do most all of the things you normally do online, such as Searching [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">through Google.com or other search engines</span>], Printing/Using Coupons, Playing Online Games, Participating in Polls, Sift Through Offers, Perform Tasks [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which yield rewards</span>], Fill Out Surveys [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which also gives rewards</span>], Trade In Used Items for Additional Profit [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">because we love our old stuff more than others do</span>], and last but NOT least, Redeem Prizes. With all of these things, we give our time and effort which IS very valuable to us, so we desire a reasonable return. Swagbucks provides that return.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Earning <span style="color: lime;">450 </span>swagbucks will earn you One: <span style="color: lime;">$5 Amazon Gift Certificate</span>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now wait! That may seem like a lot of swagbucks, and who cares about a single $5 gift card... but this is only ONE available prize out of hundreds. Not to mention the fact that you can earn 450 swagbucks in a few days just by doing searches and playing games. Maybe ONE survey [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">that you qualify for</span>] will put you over that top. You never know.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Nothing is completely perfect, and swagbucks is under no delusion of grandeur, but considering that within <span style="color: red;">three weeks</span>, I have accumilated enough swagbucks for <span style="color: lime;">EIGHT </span>$5 Amazon Gift Cards [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">or any other prizes that I choose of varying swagbuck amounts</span>] I would say that is a VERY good return. What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="color: lime; text-align: center;">[[Ways To Earn]]</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Sign Up Bonus: </span>Just for signing up, Swagbucks will award you <span style="color: lime;">30 </span>swagbucks as a bonus for starting an account. Once you've signed up, you have the opportunity to automatically begin the Daily Five [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">see below</span>] which will give you <span style="color: lime;">5 </span>more for a total of <span style="color: lime;">35 </span>swagbucks off the starting line.</div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">The Daily Five: </span><span style="color: white;">As a 'thank you' for using their services, swagbucks gives you the opportunity to earn 5 swagbucks a day just because you're special to them. 5 swagbucks adds up eventually, especially while you're there earning around 30-300 per day, depending on your 'doings'.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white;">1.] You get <span style="color: lime;">1 <span style="color: white;">swagbuck</span></span><span style="color: white;"> </span>just for using the toolbar</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white;"> </span>- The toolbar is a download which is placed in your browser. Gives you full access to your account.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">2.] You get <span style="color: lime;">2 <span style="color: white;">swagbucks</span></span><span style="color: white;"> </span>for NOSO</div><div style="text-align: left;"> - NOSO stands for No Obligation Special Offers. It's basically a string of Special Offers that they show you [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">and they get paid for your viewings<span style="color: white;">]</span></span> and you skip through [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">about 5 of them</span>] to get the swagbucks at the end.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">3.] You get <span style="color: lime;">1 <span style="color: white;">swagbuck</span></span><span style="color: white;"> </span>for the Daily Poll</div><div style="text-align: left;"> - Just by answering the question in the Daily Poll gives you that swagbuck.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">4.] You get <span style="color: lime;">1 <span style="color: white;">swagbuck</span></span><span style="color: white;"> </span>for visiting the Trusted Survey page</div><div style="text-align: left;"> - You have to 'sign up' for the Trusted Survey to receive this swagbuck every day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Searching: </span>Searching is by far the biggest part of Swagbucks. You do NOT need the toolbar to perform searches, but it is highly recommended [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">especially since part of the Daily 5 is using the toolbar</span>].</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHS2rDl-Of5vo7o0MTxLihZRqvoFrjZFXjnRtnuCJm_pvVHeyRb2okhaubkbuy5OTLhWC8vyrJnspEhitq8jZ0x2zfsT3GYngINWXwrYac4CvZTdGIA83phR8vqRMbpmldNHtfwXBxVCA/s1600/toolbar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="16" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHS2rDl-Of5vo7o0MTxLihZRqvoFrjZFXjnRtnuCJm_pvVHeyRb2okhaubkbuy5OTLhWC8vyrJnspEhitq8jZ0x2zfsT3GYngINWXwrYac4CvZTdGIA83phR8vqRMbpmldNHtfwXBxVCA/s400/toolbar.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This being the toolbar you'll see in your Internet Explorer/FireFox/Safari window, you can simply enter your search critera as you would in any search engine, and click "Go Win!" or simply hit Enter. It will run your search for you and give you a list of search links to choose from. As part of the big Swagbucks Search To Win idea, every so often when they do what they call "Opening The Flood Gates", it means that they have set the swagbucks search to begin awarding random swagbucks to random people for random searches. Typically it's anywhere from <span style="color: lime;">7</span> swagbucks to <span style="color: lime;">12</span> swagbucks for a win, but sometimes it can be <span style="color: lime;">22</span>, <span style="color: lime;">34</span> or even <span style="color: lime;">50</span> swagbucks for a search win. You usually can pull 3 search wins every day [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">sometimes more sometimes less</span>], which makes up your typical 30 swagbucks a day average.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9af4Lz3qNDuvAx6eL2o398CZn9a8PAE0fH9oHIdYvBx-xYXBPtbI2Zwrsmtnvw9p9FLqXGJHJFdNmRWbJw4uAZeRFtH3R_7usHxHmuT8HN5GreJIG_O-5eHknmSS0sMl9F3Upnf3egf4/s1600/sbhomescreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9af4Lz3qNDuvAx6eL2o398CZn9a8PAE0fH9oHIdYvBx-xYXBPtbI2Zwrsmtnvw9p9FLqXGJHJFdNmRWbJw4uAZeRFtH3R_7usHxHmuT8HN5GreJIG_O-5eHknmSS0sMl9F3Upnf3egf4/s320/sbhomescreenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Your other Search To Win option is to use the Homepage's Search Bar. It works just as the toolbar search does, however, once you run your search you will have to return to the homepage or the previous swagbucks search list in order to run a new search.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg90NUJp6aoDVjPwxu4mj4D3NttlcAAX_3GCGvF3FsV3ocFUnOwMDIJlOjQdc7cukZzlWmwRuoKazdfn58hFW-OD1t3Xxg26M5pkgc75ibZKshjGUldDL8CCJQx25a5jA_UJ198_YbJMSc/s1600/searchwinscreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg90NUJp6aoDVjPwxu4mj4D3NttlcAAX_3GCGvF3FsV3ocFUnOwMDIJlOjQdc7cukZzlWmwRuoKazdfn58hFW-OD1t3Xxg26M5pkgc75ibZKshjGUldDL8CCJQx25a5jA_UJ198_YbJMSc/s320/searchwinscreenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is an example of a search win. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Be careful. It IS possible to OVER search. If they count too many searches [say 50 or 100] in one sitting, they will assume you are searching only to win swagbucks. They know people do this anyway, but this is to put a cap fail safe on the system so people can't take advantage.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This search win was because of a swagcode [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">see below</span>]. The code in the sWidget said "Check Twitter for a code" When I searched their newest Tweet it read "The first 8 digits of the Fibonacci Sequence might be a code worth 7 swagbucks!" I used swagbucks to search the Fibonacci Sequence since I didn't know what it was, won 7 swagbucks, found the answer and went to the homepage to enter the code 011235813 since the sequence is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13. Check below to see where to input the code.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Swagbuck Codes: <span style="color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Every so often, swagbucks gives out 'codes' for people to find. Usually they take the form of an Alpha-Numeric chain with lowercase and uppercase letters. [</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Example: A1m0stFr1dAy883</span></span></span>]. These codes can be given out for any number of reasons.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1.] Just because - Sometimes they're random, other times because lots of facebook people ask for it</div><div style="text-align: left;">2.] Special Promotions - To lead people to see blog posts or information they put out</div><div style="text-align: left;">3.] Swagbuck Anniversaries or Holidays</div><div style="text-align: left;">4.] Etc...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
More often than not, they are posted in the Official Swagbucks Blog [<a href="http://blog.swagbucks.com/"><span style="color: lime;">visit</span></a>] or on the Swagbucks Twitter Page [<a href="http://twitter.com/SwagBucks/"><span style="color: lime;">visit</span></a>]. One time you may just be able to visit the Blog/Twitter and see the code in one of their new blogs/tweets, and sometimes they HIDE them and you have to do what they refer to as a "Code Search". Usually you can find out if there is a code two ways.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1.] Visit the Facebook [<a href="http://www.facebook.com/swagbucks"><span style="color: lime;">visit</span></a>] page [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">With 450k+ people, everyone says "Thanks for the Code!"</span>]</div><div style="text-align: left;">2.] Use the sWidget [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">There is one on this blog in the left column, click "Swag Codes"</span>]</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1D5FAHQmZIniT_PDbpXiH5A-GRLfuxPsfteaLh7o5L_B-Wm2XG6OHVVV8KwkeDUJD6ISzBbTBKC9D7agKL1cXAzp1HPbbFG8l4lGebhNatUAkj_nTaUFq5T4r-wneVm8IhBrdKgrjnM/s1600/entercodescreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1D5FAHQmZIniT_PDbpXiH5A-GRLfuxPsfteaLh7o5L_B-Wm2XG6OHVVV8KwkeDUJD6ISzBbTBKC9D7agKL1cXAzp1HPbbFG8l4lGebhNatUAkj_nTaUFq5T4r-wneVm8IhBrdKgrjnM/s320/entercodescreenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> You can enter your new found code here, on the homepage. Type it exactly as they have it in the entry box and click "Gimmie". If all is well with the code you enter, it will say how many swagbucks you've received, if not then it will either tell you it's expired or to enter a valid one. In this case with the fibonacci sequence, when I found it, looked like this 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13.... etc. Obviously this isn't how swagbucks picks codes so I had to translate it. The correct code would be [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">011235813</span>] without the []'s.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">See how fun codes can be? This is a moderate hidden code, on a scale of 1 - 5 this probably ranks a 2, with 5 being the hardest.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Coupons: </span>Since most of us go out and shop for the normal, every day items we need, swagbucks decided to help the process a bit. Instead of simply going to the store with your regular coupons, you can take THESE swagbucks coupons that you simply print and carry with you, redeem them like you would any other coupon, and once the 'process' goes through, and swagbucks registers the use of your coupon [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which might take some time</span>] then they simply GIVE you <span style="color: lime;">10 swagbucks</span> per redeemed coupon. That, added to your normal 30-300 swagbucks per day can start adding up very quickly, especially if you redeem 10 coupons in a single day, that's 100 swagbucks for doing what you do anyway!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Ci9J0HRY69jil1llo873go6HgGdDYR7CNiwyVH4rkO81vY91BkBYW95gsSM3X-kZ_T0f7ZsI3BcwJcFWlgWsmOQJGnm-79ejQPDLLPsLvLtogl_uMhIwaquRaFpkbSfgNdt8gttr1o/s1600/couponscreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5Ci9J0HRY69jil1llo873go6HgGdDYR7CNiwyVH4rkO81vY91BkBYW95gsSM3X-kZ_T0f7ZsI3BcwJcFWlgWsmOQJGnm-79ejQPDLLPsLvLtogl_uMhIwaquRaFpkbSfgNdt8gttr1o/s400/couponscreenshot.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Daily Deals: </span>Much like coupons, these "groupons" act as a mix between Special Offer Sales, and coupons. Since most people use or buy these items anyway, swagbucks figures that instead of you buying these items/subscriptions and getting only the items/subscriptions, how about they tack on some swagbucks for your trouble so you can earn enough to buy what you like from Amazon.com, or perhaps you would rather just trade in swagbucks for straight Cash through PayPal.com? <span style="color: lime;">700</span> swagbucks gives you a <span style="color: lime;">$5 cash</span> return on PayPal.com</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigi1oTGspCzfABv_JNARCoIm34IxnHZt6ut3Be5YQzQA8oLnSesHk3iYlRIyihDZ6FnRQec5bSJrpZfCTbDqeKms2iFksGF4r-TZPBoC1wxUzxnEfq4hMGGr_4Mn_HHb1gEU2aGru9_Do/s1600/grouponscreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigi1oTGspCzfABv_JNARCoIm34IxnHZt6ut3Be5YQzQA8oLnSesHk3iYlRIyihDZ6FnRQec5bSJrpZfCTbDqeKms2iFksGF4r-TZPBoC1wxUzxnEfq4hMGGr_4Mn_HHb1gEU2aGru9_Do/s320/grouponscreenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Games: </span>There's quite a following with the Online games nowadays, probably because they're so easy to play and the leaderboards are pretty unique, allowing everyone to pit their skills against anyone else. However, in this case Swagbucks makes the pot a bit sweeter. While sitting there and playing your games [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which you may or may not do anyway</span>] you have the ability to earn a few swagbucks while you do it! Typically, you earn <span style="color: lime;">2</span> swagbucks for every <span style="color: lime;">2 games</span> you play. This seems to fluctuate a bit. It's not awarded every time, but even still you're getting free swagbucks for playing games, which is now being ADDED to your 30-300 swagbucks you're earning anyway.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlmO1fAdyP_wf3rhrlz6YEsb641c1d03VsCRxIcBWzvRinVZuU2vvMBoensfPGZs3FJjb2bSxAHWWHSj9qGeE3QasEQ6oqZg5if69QIWqDxbmVrvhfcf6aYQmYFG9vx65MyrVb46JtYE/s1600/gamesscreenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlmO1fAdyP_wf3rhrlz6YEsb641c1d03VsCRxIcBWzvRinVZuU2vvMBoensfPGZs3FJjb2bSxAHWWHSj9qGeE3QasEQ6oqZg5if69QIWqDxbmVrvhfcf6aYQmYFG9vx65MyrVb46JtYE/s320/gamesscreenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Part Two: Not only do you earn swagbucks for playing games, but you can also spend your swagbucks to enter tournaments! The leaderboards show you INTERNET WIDE the standings of people, but swagbucks goes a bit deeper and actually makes these tournies set up for local 'Best Score' winnings of massive swagbucks. I have personally been practicing the game <span style="color: lime;">DROP 3</span>. While the internet wide highscore of drop 3 is well over 1 million points [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">which I will probably never get</span>], the swagbuck tournament usually tops out at 150k points. Seeing how I am around an average of 125k points, I will SOON be good enough to enter the tournament, and possibly win [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">up to 5 tournaments a month</span>]. The points for tournaments vary depending on how many people pay swagbucks to enter each game, but usually Drop 3 tops out at anywhere from 1,200 swagbucks to 3,500 swagbucks. Imagine how happy I would be! That's anywhere from $10 - almost $40 in Amazon.com Gift Cards!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Between Gambit/TapJoy/TrialPay & RadiumOne - there are hundreds of offers available. From Netflix, to Equifax, to AT&T offers. Videos that if you watch them give you swagbucks and much more. There is so much available here it would take a whole different blog to post it all, so I will just let you check this out on your own.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Paymentwall is the area you can go and keep tabs on all of the offers you've done or are in the process of doing. Sometimes the offers don't credit right away, there have been some known glitches but this Paymentwall gives everyone the opportunity to stake a claim and fix an issue.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Tasks: </span>This is a fairly new system Swagbucks has just instituted. As you can see by the picture it is simply a series of tasks that people can do to earn swagbucks. Some of them are daunting, some are very simplistic, but with a little elbow grease and monkey wrenching, you can squeeze some swagbuck horsepower out of this baby.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Trade In: </span>This gives you the opportunity to trade in old items in return for swagbucks. They have a comprehensive list of items that they will accept, but if you have what they are looking for, swagbucks will be given to you for them. Things such as [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">mp3 players, cell phones, x-box, playstation, nintendo consoles, & old books</span>]. Check it out. See if you can find your old items in their lists and if you're willing to part with them you'll be compensated for it. Oh... and THEY pay for shipping costs!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

This little contraption is another one of the top swagbuck earners. It's a little movie player which is embeded into the toolbar. You can use the homepage too, but this popup/minimize toolbar box plays all kinds of videos and even lets you minimize the popup TV so you don't have to watch them. You can do other things while they play in the background. Each one has an advertisement and the videos are anywhere from 1.5 minutes to10 minutes. Your SB meter grows in incriments of 10%. Every time you watch ONE movie, your bar goes up 10% until you reach 100%. Once you reach 100% you win <span style="color: lime;">3 </span>swagbucks. Then your meter returns to zero and you can start over. </div><div style="text-align: left;">You can do this up to 15 times [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">although some have reported doing it much more than 15</span>] If you "Max Out" on SBTV, at 15 x 3 = <span style="color: lime;">45 </span>swagbucks. That's ON TOP of the 30 average.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These surveys have been specifically selected for certain types of people to fill out. You will NOT get to do every single one. You will have to sift through them, answer a few questions about yourself so they can determine if they want your feedback, and if yes then you can complete the survey and get the swagbucks! I personally have applied/been accepted for one survey so far and it was for 125 swagbucks. I've applied for a few others since then but haven't qualified. If you believe that getting these swagbucks is worth a little effort to sift through some surveys, then this is the way for you to go at it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">*Note* If you try out for a survey but fail to qualify, Swagbucks will give you free entry tickets into a swagstakes [<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">see below</span>]. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: lime;">Swagstakes: </span>If you feel like spending some of your swagbucks in a gamble, you can enter the Swagbucks Swagstakes for a chance to win prizes. Each prize shows how much time is left until you cannot enter, or how many Entry tickets are left to be able to purchase. If you win the swagstakes, they give you your prize, if not then you lose the swagbucks you paid to enter.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

They have TONS of goodies here. The most famous are the Amazon Gift Cards which you can use at Amazon.com and buy anything you want. However, they also have other items and other types of gift cards that you can spend your swagbucks on.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

You can receive up to 1,000 swagbucks per referral.

Since I've started this new blog, and DTAMP [II] in general, I have been tempted about 14 separate times to cheat.<br />
<br />
What's even worse about the issue is that now that I'm looking for ONE penny, I can't seem to find one ANYWHERE! It's ridiculous!<br />
<br />
Some of the heavier temptations. I came home rather sad I couldn't find a penny and found a 2000 mint penny (face up) sitting in the very MIDDLE of my apartment floor. All by it's lonesome. It even said "THIS ONE!!". I was tempted to use it to begin the project, even took a picture and started writing a post about my first found penny... however, as I was writing this post I started to re-read what I was writing. Sadly, I noticed that this 'found' penny wasn't found at all seeing how it was in my apartment. It falls under the idea of outside supplication of funds which would taint the overall results.<br />
<br />
Then I REALLY got to thinking and discovered to my shock and horror that this temptation was much like the life of Man. Had I used this penny to furnish the beginnings of my DTAMP [II] the ENTIRE project from the very FIRST Step would've been tainted and ruined, much like the idea of Adam & Eve i n the garden of Eden. Tainted from Step One forward.<br />
<br />
NOT this time!!! I rejected this penny, and all others until I FIND a penny lying anywhere but my apartment/car/workspace, or someone HANDS me a penny (or other loose change) just because, and WITHOUT me asking. <br />
<br />
This time... we're going to do things RIGHT from day one!<br />

Each rank is set up for admin and special posters and supporters alike. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

These are just in case you're interested in further supporting DTAMP [II] - as well as all the other DTAMP[ers] out there.

<br />
This blog has now been dedicated to DTAMP[II] - Double To A Million Plan, (the second) [II]<br />
<br />
The [swag-on] will slowly be transformed to fit it's new role. You know... catchy name, awesome new little pictures and whatnot. Might take some time, but it will be far more worth it in the long run!<br />
<br />
As a farewell gesture to the [swag-on], I would like to give one final message as the [swag-on] dragon....<br />

In an attempt to ward off the self-loathing miserites, the [swag-on] has adopted the role of [troll-off].<br />
<br />
We ALL understand that this world is full of people who prefer to be degrading, belittling, down trodden, hateful and over all rather scummish. Seeing how Swagbucks, and it's offical facebook(forum) and blog have a plethora of positive swaggers, [swag-on] feels the need to voice it's defense against the TROLLS of MISERITE!<br />
<br />
Beware Trolls of Miserite.... your days are numbered....

As my first post on this blog, I am glad to introduce the [swag-on].<br />
<br />
My hope is that it will inspire swaggers to continue swagging-onward into the swaglike frontier. It was interesting to hear a story about someone who posted that she saved up enough swag bucks to buy her kids a Nintendo Wii, with accessories. That completely inspired me and showed what dedication can do, even if it is only swag bucks.<br />
<br />
If you are even reading this right now, I am honored. Thank you for your time and if you're interested, check back for future posts. I hope to help everyone by presenting my experiences (including experiences of other people's experiences) of swagbucks and how to get the bang for your buck as it were.<br />
<br />
SWAG-ON Ladies & Gents!<br />
