Well...so much for doing surveys and getting paid. :( I've been doing surveys for Pinecone Research for a long time...and those little $5.00 checks really have helped. No more...one of the $5.00 checks came back to my bank NSF. Nice..can't even cover a $5.00 check???? Of course, my bank has charged me $20.00 for this "service". Of course, they couldn't tell me the truth...the check wasn't bad. Right. Blah. I don't see how I'm going to be able to make it to Anaheim for this "prelim" DARPA conference...thank goodness it is optional. The next race is go for October 8, 2005. I'll be there! :)
