I heard that it was good to remove and reinstall MTS every so often, what do y'all think?

Maybe. I am trying to get MTS to update because I have heard a .12 or .13 is out (and I'm on the .11 version) and this is even with auto-update set for the plugin in my firefox. Maybe a uninstall/reinstall is the best thing to try to get the new update to take.

Is it weird that one of my proudest parenting moments just happened?
My daughter took the last of a milk jug (there actually is another one) and she immediately put milk on the list!

It's always good to be learning life lessons! Keeping teaching more of them so they'll be ready when they are 18.

If your child is 3, that's impressive. If the child is 16 or older, they need to go one step further and get another milk from the grocery store. Milk does not get itself just by being on a list! ?

**Must have lived overseas (i.e. not in your home country) TWICE! **

Oh damn! Something I've actually done coming up in a survey, could it be?

 

[rsmath]

Some of these reviewers on TV crack me up. "15 minutes for $0.70?!" And the survey takes 3 minutes.

I'm thinking about the Vicky one from last night. Someone posted an underpaid warning, saying it was underpaid because is takes 2 minutes to submit and I'm sitting here imagining that user writing and posting to TV during one of those lag times while doing a Vicky rather than after they were done doing the batch.

I went to sit on the deck and enjoy lunch and got bitten twice by a deerfly on the leg. That little sucker hurt!

Good Morning All.

I agree it also gets annoying when it goes to the opposite extreme. Only took them 5 minutes and actually takes 20. Wish the times were more reliable.

The lag has been bad enough they are entering underpaid territory.

12/hr overall last night, down from 40/hr last fall.
All because of the fucking servers too.

I haven't been around for months and tried to do them yesterday. It was only letting me have 2 tabs open. I guess the lag is because so many people have the qual now?

 

[Kennedy]

same here, been having this issue a few days now.

I'll have to pay attention. It got me again.

Yes and no but mostly no.

She did something to the servers over the weekend after sending out an email about bad quality work (after letting in a bunch of new workers)
Whatever she did to the servers really fucked things and it sucks because the servers were flowing pretty good for the last several batches before that (even with all the new workers added)

 

[PandaThief]

I'll have to pay attention. It got me again.

disabling and re-enabling the script helped me somewhat. I'll still keep an eye out though
