used 2001 Range Rover that a local repair shop with a great reputation has restored....or a 2006 LR2 since they don't have the air ride that tends to go out on you
this is the one that's calling to me....love the look and comfort

In the next year or two I want to get either a Jeep or a Land Rover. The thing with Land Rovers is that I like the square boxy looking ones and they don't make them like that in the U.S. anymore. Only really old ones or really expensive European imports. I remember on a Superbowl commercial a few years ago there was a car that looked similar and I wanted to know what it was (it wasn't in a car commercial) but I couldn't find that dang commercial for anything later on. Even the lists of Superbowl commercials, none had it, it was like the commercial was never there.

More or less.
Runs a few different plant types under that qual.

And for anyone wondering when you get the qual email later on.....any score at all is acceptable to be able to do the HITs.
Even 25 as a qual score.

My mom is retiring and is asking me how to do Mturk. I don't know if I'll have the patience to explain all this stuff and she ends up not doing it or not liking it.

Every time someone asks me about what I do for work and I mention mturk, they all wanna know what it is. Then they actually see what it is and their eyes glaze over. I lost count of how many friends and family members have asked to get in on mturk (taking my kind heart's time and energy to explain/help) and wasted my time. I used to get friends coming out of the woodwork asking about my 'work from home' job lol. Amazon made that way easier to deal with by simply not accepting every application. (Everyone who has asked me about mturk and signed up has been rejected.)

In the end, this kind of work just is not for everyone. And I've learned it's best to just avoid talking about work, too. Lost count also of how many snide, judgmental comments people can make about self-employment work. Like, "When are you going to get a real job?" "You can't support yourself on that, really, can you?" "Oh, you're "working"?...sure." And let's not forget all the people who assume because you work from home you're available 24/7.

But I'll never forget the day I quit my dead-end-retail-drag-your-ass-out-of-bed-for-someone-else's-paycheck and began the life of turking in pajamas...with my own schedule...being my own boss.

If I could go back and make the decision all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

it's towable with an RV (and can tow up to 2000 lbs itself), you'd just have to get a tow package installed

I helped my step mom set up a turk account only to have her quit after a day. She said I was dumb for sitting around doing "that crap". Meanwhile she's sitting around making 0 dollars. :cautious:

Eek! I changed a word in the new version, though. Better throw that one in the garbage.

(j/k don't do that.)
I'm buying them all. It will be worth even more when you get all famous. :D

yeh I want an older one as well...the new one's are basically Ford products fancied up a bit...15mpg is ok going the grocery store but 3.5hour round trips to DC would run me $100 in gas every time and the repair costs are big when/if you need them....so I'll probably wind up with something better on gas like a Nissan/Honda/Jeep....

It's because the link changed because i changed the size/cover bits. This is the new link that will not say that.

edit: Helps if I remember to put the link.
edit2: but because I had to relist it it went back up to 8.99 for now. Sorry y'all :o It'll probably go back down in a few days.
