I like that idea! It's barely snowing yet so I'm gonna go with her in her car and drive it home then drive it back to pick her up and let her drive with me in the car. It should really be coming down by the time school gets out.
I have 3 grown children and a grand daughter. So scary and my anxiety went up when they drove in bad weather. (we live in Missouri) Control issues on my part also. Now, I don't drive at all due to health and they drive me. Letting them learn but still having control was important for all of us at that time. (besides, I paid the insurance) :wink:

I also have some control issues over here. I thought it would get easier as they got older and I would worry less, but I'm learning that's definitely not how this works! I feel like there's more danger than every lurking around every corner the older they get. The possibilities my mind conjures up are terrifying....

I call it the Fairy Tale Syndrome. Your kids think life is like Disney's version of things but I know it will end up like the original Grimms version.

Accidents can happen no matter what. Going to walmart saturday for just the weekly shopping. But the one we use is at the mall area. So getting there was a bit complicated considering it's christmas and never trust new and improved roadwork. Saw the traffic stopping ahead so we slowed considerably and carefully as it was raining, above freezing, but raining and the stop was sudden and well you know how people are. Don't think to stop until we have too. So, we're nearly if not completely stopped just waiting and someone, without insurance of course, comes up behind us and hydroplanes. He attempts to hit the barrier but bounces off and I'm sitting on passenger side and his vehicles slams into us or me basically. Hello? Fortunately the little car we were in, was pretty sturdy and absorbed much of the impact. I've got a big bruise on my knee, but that's it. Cops showed up nearly right away and told us to leave as soon as we exchanged info because they needed to clear the road for all of the other accidents. Yeah. So, we could drive okay, went home, called insurance company, found out the driver who hit us had none, got all of that out of way, then took my car and went back cause cat food is very important to purchase around here and walmart has the least expensive price or so I thought.

Yes, accidents can. Was in a bad one 18 months ago. Sorry to hear about that but at least you went back and took care of the important things in life like the cat food. My cat, who an idiot had 4 paw declawed before we adopted her, comes and swipes my leg every morning for food. She will sit under the desk and swipe at me until I feed her.

We were lucky. I do think the car did a great job of protecting us. Sorry about your accident. Kitties have a way of demanding to be fed and we have a bunch around here. The rescues inside create a full house and the ones outside who are community cats that would like to come in. And Mr. Cassius who around 3 or 3 30 AM starts walking all over me in bed demanding I get up and pass out treats. If that doesn't work around 5 he starts his sneezing routine. That usually works.

So yesterday I clicked on the little payment schedule box and began the process but stopped when I realized that they wouldn't let me pick the day of the week of the transfers (I wanted mine to be on Thursdays). My plan was to set it up this Thursday, but now it won't let me accept any new hits until I finish setting up my payment schedule, so if I want to work between now and Thursday I have no choice but to set it up....I guess I'm going to be getting paid on Tuesdays now :arghh:

I wonder if I can go in to manage payments on Thursday and redo it and have it update to pay me on Thursdays.....
You can go back into dashboard and click earnings. From there you can change the frequency to every 3 days. If you do this on a Monday then it should get you to thursday. Then you can switch back to every 7 days if you want.

I admire anyone who takes in rescues. We can only have the one since she can't defend herself. The humane society was very cautious about who adopted her since she is what they consider "special needs". They gave her to us free after a check on us. She had a sibling the owners had done the same to but they were not bonded so another family adopted him. Best decision we made. She is so gentle and loving but I hate that we can't let her outside except in a stroller.

You will eventually be able to change it, they might have a "change/hold over period" and/or limit to prevent a bit of gaming of the system, but they are not going to permanently lock you to it.

Ugh, can confirm that if you try to look at the new payments thing you can't accept any hits until you finish the set up. i seen the banner this moring on my phone and i wanted to take a look to see what they meant by scheduled payments, like it it was every X days or if we could pick the days of the week. its everys 3/7/14/30/60 days. Now i can't accept any hits. Thats a shitty way to force us to do this early esp right before christmas.

Hey if any admin are around maybe put something at the top of the thread warning people not to even click the stupid ass thing unless they really want to set it up now.

I know I'm not the only one that was all "Hey look.....shiny" and clicked the thing only to be forced into it. lol

I figure we will be able to change stuff after but what do they count as days, like regular days or business days, how are holidays going to effect it? what time are they sending the payment thru? stuff like that. as usual they are not be very clear on the details.

like they don't make enough money off us anyway now they have to hold are money longer.

Are they doing this sporadically? Because I still have not gotten notice of this and see no banner or anything like that on my account. Withdrew like $19 yesterday to my Amazon payments account and also initiated withdrawal to my bank account as usual.
