What? Money for MEEEE?!?
Epinions says they have money for me!*
Seven years ago (really? SEVEN?!?) I joined Epinions. It was the height of the internet bubble and I quickly earned some bread for a handful of reviews I wrote (all of which are still viewable if you want. Its SafeTinspector writing half a decade before the blog was a tilt in my kilt)
But the bubble burst and the returns drained away. I stopped writing the reviews, and only very rarely checked in. Like two years ago, when I was starting up this blog and wrote a book review. So imagine my surprise when I saw that Epinions owes me over $50!
I’m RICH, bitch! Should I cash out? Should I write another review and check back in two years?
* They also show me as living in Eastpointe and being 33 years old**.
** IN actuality I was the one that wrote I was 33. Bit I did it two years ago and the silly tits never updated it for me.

O yeah, Epinions. I thought about writing an article or two for them once (no guesses on what about), but, well, I didn’t.
Shit, I didn’t think they were around seven years ago; when I was considering it, that was maybe two years ago.
Hurry up and cash that fecker in! Before they go the way of Enron, or Dr pepper Red fusion!
Yay! Surprise money.
Always a happy thing.
I loved the link to the book review!!
If ever I write a book promise to review it…would ya?
I mean someday, I’m going to pull all my thoughts together into one consolidated lump, & besides I’ve been reading (& critiquing) your stories for two years.
Oh, I love the irresponibility of being dead!
Take the money, SafeT! Take the money, march off smartly and don’t look back! You might be dead tomorrow. I truly hope you’re not, though. But still, Fate’s fickle fucking finger and that…
When I have a wee windfall I hide it in places around the house to further delight me at future dates. It’s a good plan.
Buy some nice tea and get yourself a few biscuits, custard creams are my fav.
To all who said: cash in!
I told it to do so. Epinions indicates that a check should arrive within six weeks. I feel like I applied for a mail-in rebate.
dc: Yeah, the internet was bold and new, and I was still in my twenties.
l>t:I had always intended to do more reviews, but haven’t done it. If you write one, then I definitely will!
Sam:I’d dare not hide it, there’s wives and children about!
dan: I’ll have coffee and a slice of pie, thanks!
rayne: if only it could come sooner. I could spend it on a grosse of chinese ballpoint pens.
Wives? What are you, Bedouin?
Sam: I’m retrograde Mormon.
They;re the very best sort. Respect, man.
Mmmmh, pie.
