Swagbucks tutorial
I know I have already posted this, or a very similar post, a few months back, but I have had some of you ask how to get more points at swagbucks.com
**First for those not doing swagbucks this is a search engine ran site. I used to go to msn.com to search. Now I go to swagbucks and I can earn points occasionally just for my normal searches. This is really all this site does. It is not surveys, offers, etc. It is a search engine. So I make points, and then turn those in for amazon codes, doing something I normally do anyway.
**Second, you should not do any more searches on swagbucks then you would normally on any other search engine. You will not get more points for more searches. Usually I can get a swagbuck in the morning, one in the afternoon and sometimes one in the evening.
**Next, and I think an important part of earning points, I also check slickdeals.com for codes. I go to this page and click the last page to be current. These people are great at catching and posting codes that swagbucks has put on twitter, facebook, their toolbar, etc.. Swagbucks puts codes out on popular areas to draw people to them and advertise. If you want me to I can email you the codes as I find them. Let me know if this is something you would like and make sure I have your email address. Sometimes the codes are good for a few hours sometimes they are out for a few minutes.
**Referrals are a good way to get some points as well. Every point that a referral makes, up to 100 points, you also get. You don't get their code points just there searching points. I have 5 referrals right now. If you can even get 1 or 2 people to sign up under you and they make 2 points a day you can add 4 points to your account every day.
So there you have it. And more questions?
As incentive I have now made $50.00 in amazon codes since I joined mid-August. I am saving the money for a present for Ben. :) That way he can't see what I am spending. :) Total surprise.

update
So the car was found in Salem. It was completely on empty. EMPTY. They took most of the stuff in the car, leaving Ben's baseball mitt and golf shoes though. They did No real damage to the car BUT they sprayed the inside and outside with who knows what. It was so no finger prints could be taken from the police. I guess the policeman that found the car said he could try to get a print but it was unlikely it would work on the spray and it would leave a real mess on top of the spray. So it has to be cleaned. They also kept the keys so it has to be rekeyed. Just a pain in the rear. Tomorrow it will go to the Acura dealership to start all that. So Ben gets to keep the rental a few more days it looks like. Ben is not sorry about that. He sprung to upgrade from our rental policy on our insurance and pay OOP $2.00 a day and got a brand new Ford 150. He loves it. LOVES IT LOVES IT LOVES IT.
This is the truck minus the running board. BEAUTIFUL
He loves that truck so much we drove it to Salem Saturday to get some soccer shinguards for Ethan. We then found our way to the Oktoberfest. On Sunday we drove to Tillamook for some cheese and icecream and then went to Oceanside for some ocean time. It was a really nice weekend. Enterprise may be a bit surprised to see the mileage when they get that truck back.
Now we have to start looking to replace all Ben's golf clubs, sunglasses, and electric shaver. But really the most important are those golf clubs. :)

A confession
Any of you watch "Fringe?"
Ben and I watched it last season together but this season he doesn't want to. I think it is a just too strange to him. I love it though. I love the idea of weird things happening and weird science figuring things out. I am not sure if it is the math loving part of me that likes to think science and math can do some neat things, things we can't even fathom. Or if it may be that Joshua Jackson is a main character. I have always liked his work and he is really good in Fringe.
What are your thoughts on this show?

no news
I know some of you are wondering about the missing car. It is still missing. I am not sure if it is somewhere in pieces or if someone is driving around in a new-to-them car, but it is gone.
Amazingly, Ben and I are taking it fairly well. (Ben even better then I am) It is only a car. We were insured. I actually feel no ill will towards the thief. I know some family members are not very happy with them. But truthfully I think all of us have sinned, all of us have done something that has hurt someone. I can only take hold of my actions and feelings and make sure they stay Bible based and Truth filled. Besides, it is only a car. It is a pain in the rear to get everything right with insurance and police reports, and of course these things always cost money, but I can deal with it.
So now we wait until tomorrow when we can look into getting a rental. Then in a few weeks if the car hasn't showed yet we will look at replacing it. In the mean time, Ben's gracious boss has loaned us one of his cars.
We are blessed.

off to a bad start
So today is Monday and our week has started off poorly.
Ben's little Acura was stolen. So I am at home calling insurance companies, waiting for police calls. I had wanted to actually spend this morning running errands but Ben has the van so things aren't going along as planned. Why couldn't they take the VAN! It is older, not nearly as fancy and was empty. Ben's car is NICE and has all his sporting equipment in the trunk. Darn thieves!
WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(And yes, Ben moved it off the street when you girls went home. It was in the driveway.)
