That's irrelevant though to everyone that the fucked over, and your current situation. Hope it improves for you soon!
Don't misunderstand me, I never meant to imply they were a "well known" company, JUST that because they hosted that board they got instant "cred" with the posters of that board, and at that time I was a very active poster there cause many of my affils were active there.

If its any good you have a chance of making cash. 99designs acts as a escrow account and holds the cash until a winner is announced. Look for the ones that say guaranteed to pick a design.

You have a particular skill that not many unemployed people have. Who knows the winning design could lead to a full time job.

Maybe Im wrong.. Enjoy wiping your ass with the leaves off the tree out back.
No, it doesn't matter which thread you posted it in, I was just commenting that the "Chance" at money was really not going to help me this very second, I need to be sure that ANY time I'm spending working on something right now is GOING to = payment.

The landlord (even though he loves my ass and is VERY understanding) is not going to want to hear "Well I MIGHT get some money for you IF I win these design contests"

Also I was totally unaware of any "guaranteed" offers on that site, cause the ONLY things they show/tell you before you go through all the signup stuff is the "contest" stuff, so at a quick glance I saw..... "Enter a bunch of contests, do a bunch of work, hope you win" and that just wasn't very helpful.

And when I was trying to find the "contests" what I did find was what looked to be a preset price list for work... Twitter Backgrounds STARTING at $95 WHO is paying that much for a Twitter background???? I'd only charge $40 for something like that (especially now that Twitter changed the GUI for twitter and now you get far less real estate on your page)

And as for the leaves as toilet paper I'll have to deff pass on that as we don't even have leaves back yet (still trying to get to "spring" here lol) and Tree bark is OUT of the question, I've learned in a pinch Coffee filters work better and hurt less

But as I said in my last post, Thanks!

I'm deff going to check that site out later, it IS deff interesting.
