I love http://peoplestring.com/?u=sshupe
I get paid to read snail mail and email. It is an awesome free portal where you get paid for what you are already doing on the web.
I live in Utah with my husband and son. They are my taste testers and are very happy that I love to cook. During the summer we camp and cook via dutch oven. My falls and springs are filled with canning. When I am actually working I do medical coding from home so I can take care of my son.
One thing I appreciate about Zaar is it keeps me from saying.
