    In my free time, I usually surf the Net, play video games, and read and write for my college courses. I also tend to look online for possible job openings. So far, no deal for a whole year now. How else do I get money to buy on bid packs and pay for my winnings?

    Well...all my time is "free" since I took early retirement a couple years ago! The very best thing to do is spend time with my two precious grandkids! I must have done something right at one time or another in my life because God gave me these two wonderful little guys that light up my life beyond belief!!!

    I am a Freight Agent in Real Life! lol I also do Paintography. I take pictures of people, places and pets and then I paint them on the computer.

    I have a program that I use and each on is hand painted stroke by stroke, pixel by pixel and then I have it transferred to canvas and I stretch it and mount it myself. I do it for myself and also do commissioned work. I love it!

    I have a website also. I have attached the latest one I did of my grandson and one I did of our 2 two Dogs. Hope you like them!

    Default I wish

    I wish I had free time. When I am not at work as an electrician at least 46 hours a week, I am spending all my time working on jeeler. And I will have to say it is 10 times more work than I ever thought it would be. I knew it would be time consuming but geez.

    Hope everyone is having a nice day.

    I guess I can say I will have more free time soon. We are shutting down jeeler. Again we had problems with being slow. It would come and go. As much as I hate to say it I think there is more than a script problem. I think there was help out there slowing us down.

    But since I have a child on the way that will take up that extra free time.

    Sorry to hear that about your site shutting down. So many PA sites shutting down due to either lack of free time or not making any money. Many bidders want to get their money back through PayPal and other claims. I wish I could have my own PA site, but now it looks like it isn't the way to start one. Hoping to wish you the best of luck then. I was trying to put my business skills to use, but these PA sites keep shutting down often.

    Sorry to hear about the problems & closing Jeeler, but congratulations on the new little one!

    Sorry to hear that you are shutting down. If I read between the lines correctly are you suggesting that your site may have had some interference? I have recently heard of this same problem occurring with another site I have been using.

    We think there might have been. Here is why, the first four auctions went poorly because of being slow. Then, it went fine for one auction, which did really well and made us money, then back to slow. We could see who was logged in and had just as many logged in for all the auctions. There are ways to screw up a PA site, one is to run load tests on the site during auctions. The results would be similar to what we had. We ran load tests and they where great up to 200 users loading the site with requests. So, we had about 15 logged on and bidding with major lag. Makes me wonder if someone was loading our site down purposely.
