The Trouble with Degus. . . . .

We became the proud owners of two male Degus about a week ago. We’ve never had Degus before but we did some research on the internet before we picked them up so, we had a basic idea of how to take care of them. Book knowledge is nothing like hands on experience though. We put them in our big Guinea Pig cage with lots of things in their cage to chew on. We thought they would be o.k. in there. I was looking at their cage yesterday and discovered a hole in the bottom part of the cage that’s made of plastic. Erica and I went degu cage shopping that evening as I think they would have been out by morning. They really don’t make any metal cages that would be appropriate for the Degus so we ended up with a big aquarium with a sliding mesh lid and we got an extra, heavier mesh lid to put on top to protect them and the mesh from the cats.

Degus are very social critters and don’t like to be alone. They are cute and look a lot like big gerbils. They have chinchilla type ears and they love to chew!! They also don’t like having their mate taken away even though they will mate with anybody. You can read about them at www.degus.org

If you want to see our Degus, email me at mapiklfish@charter.net with Degus in the subject line and "send me a link" in the body and i'll be happy to send you a link to my Degu photo album.

I found another get paid to click site like Clixsense since I posted last. Adbux is very similar to ClixSense but you can buy referrals at Adbux. That is, if you can find them. Usually by the time I look, they are sold out for the day.

Just when you think it's safe to go outside! It's snowing again. We're under a winter storm warning until 7 AM tomorrow morning. The lake is almost up to the road in some places and will most likely be over the road by tomorrow if this keeps up. We aren't getting much snow sticking to the ground but it still puts precipitation into the lakes. That's Spring in the Midwest.

Good Friday

It's good Friday and I am reminded again, of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to pay the debt for my sin so I wouldn't have to. What an amazing sacrifice and what an amazing love! It is beyond my comprehension. A group of us are going to a play called The Choice tonight. It's a musical passion play.

My daughter and maybe her husband, don't know if he's working, are coming over for Easter dinner Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over sin and death. If either of these things were missing, we wouldn't have eternal life. Both His death and resurrection were necessary but not required. He died because He loved us not because He had to.

I have come across some more ways to make money online and have some updates on things I'm already doing as well as some free advertising mediums to try out but, I'll get started on all that Monday.

Happy Easter!

More ways to earn

It's sunny today finally but, it isn't supposed to last. Rain again tonight and tomorrow and snow Wednesday. Yup, ya gotta love Spring in Wisconsin.

I've come across a few more sites for making money online. I know one has been around a while and I know a lot of people make over $100 a mo with it. I haven't done much with it yet but the more posts I see making over $100 the more I think I need to take a better look at it. Treasure Troopers has lots of way to earn and it's free to sign up.

Prizebook is another site that pays you to sign up for offers. The pay varies, of course, depending on the offers. It's free to sign up and there is a section that is No Credit Card Required, so you can earn without spending a dime.

The CashGrab is similar to Prizebook and, again, free to sign up.

Here's another site I found. Anyone can make money with this one. I know they all say that but it's true here. I've made over $70 so far and I haven't tried very hard. That says something because I think it's the first site I've made this much money with. Check it out.
