HOT Airdrop For Lazy People: Get Hi Dollars (1=$1.3)(1x/day) FREE
I recently found this new crypto airdrop app called Hi!
Hi is an app that allows users to answer one quick question a day and receive 1 HI Dollar in return. Each HI Dollar is worth around $1.3 USD, and, for now, the reward for answering the daily questions is always 1 HI Dollar. This is a HUGE perk for signing up early so be sure to take advantage of it!
Personally, I've just added it to my 'cloud miner' app folder so I can do them all at the same time. It's just as easy as the free cloud mining apps (Pi, BEE, etc) and the reward is even better, especially for those of us who don't typically get many referrals. https://www.publish0x.com/earn-money-and-cryptocurrency/new-2021-free-crypto-cloud-mining-apps-like-pi-bee-network-xnqmgvz

Cosmo enjoying his vacation at Basin Harbor Inn, Vermont
I was Basin Harbor with my family attending my cousin's wedding, and Cosmo got to come because the inn is pet friendly and Cos loves car rides and vacations. The 9 hour drive up from Virginia was boring but Cosmo did great: he slept for most of the ride and did his business when we took him out at rest stops. We arrived at our cottage around 10pm, so Cosmo settled right in and we all got ready to go to sleep.
Cosmo, the traitor, chose to sleep in my dad's room as opposed to mine. The funny part of this? My dad isn't even his human. He lives with me at my mom and step-dad's.
The next day, Cosmo's cousin Mosby arrived with his humans (my sister and brother-in-law). Mosby was Cosmo's first friend and funny enough, they were born within days of each-other. Cosmo's the oldest born November 28, and Mosby was born December 1. Mosby has always been a lil gay for Cosmo and sure enough, first thing he did when he arrived was mount my poor boy. Cosmo, however, has been learning to stand up for himself just a little bit, and told Mosby in no uncertain terms that he was having none of that. Mosby, the little shit, didn't seem to care.
Unfortunately, the dogs weren't allowed to be at the wedding or reception, so we had to leave them in the cottage for the big event. Afterward, we took the dogs on a long walk to the harbor's 'beach', which is where this picture was taken.
The wedding was lovely and it was great seeing my extended family again after more than two years, but when the weekend was over we were all ready to get home.

How You Can Get 50% Crypto-Back on Future eBay Purchases + $25 for Joining
While there are many apps offering crypto back on purchases, not many offer rates from 50% back up to 100% back. *SocialGood* is a cryptocurrency with its own cash(crypto)back app that allows users to receive up to 100% back on their purchases in SG. https://referral.socialgood.inc/?id=FFWDJV
I used their crypto back app when I purchased my new iPhone, and was able to get $500 back. I have since withdrawn to my wallet and cashed out and can confirm that this opportunity is 100% legitimate.
My personal favorite deal is their eBay offer: purchase anything (must not be in your watch list - if you want to purchase something on your watch list add it to cart and remove from watch list) through their in-app browser and receive 50% of the purchase price back in SG. With the huge variety of items for sale on eBay, this is the most widely-used offer on their site.
They also feature rebate offers on several other stores: Best Buy, Trip.com, Walmart, and DHgate.
Sign up with code FFWDJV to receive an extra $25 in SG when you spend $25 through the app.

These Smartphone & PC Apps, Chrome Extensions Passively Earn You Money
In the age of Facebook and Google, the average consumer has no idea how much money is being made off of *their* user data. For example, if Facebook knows you have a dog, they can then sell ad space on your app to a company that caters to people with dogs.
This is just one example of companies profiting off their users’ data, but when you really look it’s happening all the time, everywhere. How is it fair for these big companies to profit off our data without giving us a cut?
That’s the problem these apps are solving: they actually pay their users for their data. This data can include survey answers, approximate location, gender, political stance, etc. It is important to note that the data being sold is always used in a safe way that protects the individuals.
If this kind of easy, passive income sounds good to you, I’ve included below a list of my favorite apps and extensions along with a description of each.
**For Smartphones:**
BIGtoken (use referral code BRITT when you sign up!) https://invite.bigtoken.com/WjGZJrPJFGNLJcVL8
BIGtoken is my personal favorite data earning app as it has so many different ways to earn and participate. There are short question polls that you earn points for answering, daily ‘team’ questions which earn the entire team points if everyone answers, and passive options such as linking your credit or debit card and allowing location permissions. Once you’ve earned enough to withdraw, you can get paid every Friday!
Killi https://link.killi.io/BkfZ5UZ3Qab
Killi is another great opportunity. Similarly to BIGtoken, Killi offers payment for referrals, profile rewards, short surveys/polls, sharing your location data, and sharing which apps you have on your device. Once you’ve accrued enough points to withdraw, you’ll have the option to withdraw to your BTC or ETH wallet as well as a plethora of available gift cards.
App Optix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.appoptix.com&hl=en_US&gl=US
App Optix is as simple as can be when it comes to making money: install the app with the requested permissions, and leave the app installed. For every week you have the app installed, you receive points toward a gift card of your choice.
Mobile Performance Meter https://www.embeemobile.com/play.html
Mobile Performance Meter (Embee Pay) is similar to App Optix in that it is almost 100% passive. You install the app and keep it installed on your phone and it does the rest of the hard work; you just sit back and reap the benefits. Embee Pay also offers occasional optional surveys and a referral rewards system, all of which can be redeemed to a gift card of your choice.
Panel App https://www.placed.com/panel/panels/711b0c40f1da/signup?rid=d6e47b12102a
Panel App pays users to keep the app installed and allow them to look at your location data. There are also opportunities for surveys and referral bonuses. Panel App is definitely the slowest mobile earner on this list, but since you can have all installed simultaneously, it’s really no trouble to keep this one installed too. Users can redeem their points into either sweepstakes entries for high ticket prizes or to guaranteed gift cards.
Telephia
Telephia pays $1 per week you have the app open in the background, which is one of the better rates I’ve seen thus far. I’ve earned and cashed out $26 so far, and am still going strong. It’s slightly less passive than the others because you need to ensure that the app is open in the background for it to run. Users can cash out to Paypal as the only option currently.
**For PC:**
Savvy Connect https://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=8146454
Savvy Connect, a program within the Survey Savvy site, is my easiest earner. Simply install the chrome extension/app on your computer and/or device to earn $5 per month per device on which you are active at least 7 days of actual usage per month. Users can cash out via check or direct deposit.
Swash https://swashapp.io/referral/8515
Swash is a browser extension that automatically earns users DATA crypto for browsing the web as usual and referring friends. Users can withdraw their earnings using xDai chain or Ethereum mainnet.
Ozone https://www.ozone.ai/refer?referral_code=britt
Ozone is a browser extension which collects and shares some of your data with advertisers, giving you a 70% share of the profits PLUS referral earnings and paid surveys.
Permission https://my.permission.io/signUp?referralCode=QD1M1P
Permission is another browser extension that pays users in ASK altcoin, which can be withdrawn to your crypto wallet, for allowing them to sell your advertising data.
Upvoice
Upvoice is a browser extension & Windows 10 program which collects users’ data on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Amazon *without* using an ad-blocker.

Anyone want cute dog pics? Because I have a ton.
Hey y'all,
I'm a stressed, anxious, and depressed millennial and I though that the crypto world could really benefit from some cute dogs. Even if I'm wrong, talking about dogs (mine and others'), makes me happy so I'm doing it anyway.
The pup in the picture above is named Ava; she is my 6 year old labradoodle. She enjoys playing fetch with her plethora of nasty gross tennis balls that she hides under couches just to bark at, chasing squirrels out of our yard, and counter-surfing. She is on my bed with me, taking a quick nap.
Earn Crypto (BTC & Altcoins) With These 5 Chrome Browser Extensions
In the crypto world, there are endless opportunities for potential earners. From faucets to bounties to content writing to mining and more - there's something for everyone. Among the easiest income opportunities in the crypto world are chrome extensions. With the potential to be completely passive through advertising and data sharing, these extensions allow broke crypto enthusiasts to gain assets without any investment or risk. https://www.publish0x.com/earn-money-and-cryptocurrency/new-2021-free-crypto-cloud-mining-apps-like-pi-bee-network-xnqmgvz
The following extensions are among the best paying earners of the category and have been proven to pay:
Permission: Earn ASK coin
Permission (https://my.permission.io/signUp?referralCode=QD1M1P) passively rewards users with their native ASK coins for allowing Permission to share their anonymized data with advertisers. When you sign up, you will be presented with paid offers such as watching videos, ASKback from shopping, ad engagement, referrals, and more.
adsbitcoin: Earn Bitcoin
adsbitcoin (https://adsbitcoin.io/?ref=34770) pays users in BTC satoshi for viewing their advertisers' websites and videos for a set amount of time as well as a referral bonus of 25% of referrals' earnings.
Swash: Earn DATA coin
Swash (https://swashapp.io/referral/8515) passively earns users DATA coin for their data from browsing the web.
Surfe.be: Earn Bitcoin
Surfe be (https://surfe.be/ext/736749) pays for the ability to show small ads at the bottom of the browser window and also offers a system similar to adsbitcoin's in that users can also choose to view their advertisers' site / video / content for a set amount of time to earn extra BTC.
trafficly: Earn Bitcoin
Trafficly (https://trafficly.io/?ref=113146) is another extension similar to adsbitcoin and surfe.be: it gives users a list of paid per view websites and videos and pays for each successful view.
Do you use any of these programs? Which is your favorite? Do you use any similar programs not on this list?

How to Get Free XTZ From The Tezos Foundation Faucet
Tezos (XTZ) by the Tezos Foundation is a stakeable altcoin cryptocurrency that earns you more coins as long as you have it staked. While most of you already know that, many of you may not know that the Tezos Foundation recently launched a testing XTZ faucet from which users can receive "real (mainnet)" 0.02 XTZ -- which, at the time of posting, worth around $0.06. You can only 'drink' from the faucet once per week, however it'll add up eventually if you consider the staking rewards you could be getting.
According to the official faucet page: This faucet allows developers and users to request Tezos tokens (tez) to be used on the Tezos main network. This is real (mainnet) tez and has a market value. Please drink responsibly.
For those of you who want to check out this faucet, here is the link:

7 Free Coinpot Bitcoin and Altcoin Faucets + Why They're THE BEST
As many of you already know, in the world of cryptocurrency, a 'faucet' is a website or app that gives users a portion of the site's ad earnings in coin as reward for doing simple tasks such as completing captchas. So for beginners, this is basically free bitcoin & altcoin which, once you earn the minimum amount to withdraw free of charge to your personal wallet, can be converted to USD if you wish.
Coinpot faucets, as listed below, are unique in that you receive your coin rewards immediately and directly to your Coinpot.co account with the addition of (as of time of writing) 3 Coinpot tokens per faucet claim. For perspective, you can claim each of the 7 faucets once per 5 minutes. Coinpot tokens are a site-specific coin that you can convert to another universal altcoin or redeem for entries to the site's hourly lottery drawing. DOGEcoin, as of now, has the lowest and most easily attainable minimum withdrawal at 50 DOGE, so what many users do is convert all altcoin in their account to DOGE in order to withdraw more quickly.
The awesome thing about Coinpot? Faucets aren't the only way to earn Coinpot tokens.
You can mine Coinpot tokens, as well as any of the other offered altcoins, through the site's in-browser mining system which lets you choose how much of your CPU to use: the more CPU you use, the more tokens you earn; the less CPU, the less tokens. If you have a desktop that you can leave running all day, this could be a great way to make some easy extra coins/tokens.
Coinpot also has a large list of 'Challenges', or achievements, that will earn you tokens (and stars, which enter you into a contest to earn tokens) once you reach the requirements. I personally love when sites give rewards for achievements as it gives me an added incentive to continue using that service regularly.
Now, what coins can you claim & earn with Coinpot faucets? Currently, there are 7 Coinpot faucets; each of which uses a different website and most of which carry different coins.
*NOTE: Each of the 'moon' titled faucets can be claimed once per 5 minutes, but you can wait and do just a couple per day as the claim amount grows as time goes on.
Moonbitcoin (Bitcoin)
Faucet reload time is 5 minutes, and you can earn 50% commission from all of your referrals' claims + 1% faucet bonus for each referral (up to 100%). http://moonbit.co.in/?ref=3479780898EA
Moonlite (Litecoin)
Faucet reload time is 5 minutes, and you can earn 25% commission from all of your referrals' claims + 1% faucet bonus for each referral (up to 100%). http://moonliteco.in/?ref=500C9024E0DF
Mooncash (Bitcoin cash)
Faucet reload time is 5 minutes, and you can earn 25% commission from all of your referrals' claims + 1% faucet bonus for each referral (up to 100%). http://moonbitcoin.cash/?ref=496214AB9E31
Moondash (Dashcoin)
Faucet reload time is 5 minutes, and you can earn 25% commission from all of your referrals' claims + 1% faucet bonus for each referral (up to 100%). http://moondash.co.in/?ref=47C54B0DDE6E
Moondoge (Dogecoin)
Faucet reload time is 5 minutes, and you can earn 25% commission from all of your referrals' claims + 1% faucet bonus for each referral (up to 100%). http://moondoge.co.in/?ref=4A0DCE40E4EA
Bonus Bitcoin (Bitcoin)
Faucet reload time is 15 minutes, and you can earn 50% commission from all of your referrals' claims. http://bonusbitcoin.co/?ref=785513EF4CA0
Bitfun (Bitcoin)
Faucet reload time is 3 minutes, and you can earn 50% commission from all of your referrals' claims. http://bitfun.co/?ref=7B324D11C489
I personally like to claim each coin every 5 minutes (or as soon as I realize it's available) while I'm working on the computer, and not worry too much about it when I'm AFK.
If you enjoyed this post or found it helpful, please consider tipping and/or signing up to the above faucets using my linked referrals! I'll name my firstborn after you! (Disclaimer: I'm not having kids.)

Grandma's Unveiling (& the memory I shared)
I promised myself I wouldn't cry. I felt I didn't really have the right, in a way. I never really got the chance to have a close relationship with her as my cousins did. My siblings and I lived states away and weren't able to visit often. I suppose I worried that crying could be mistaken for me being fake or an attention seeker. I'm not entirely sure why I felt that, I have never been given any reason to believe that my family would think anything negative of me, but that irrational thought plagued me throughout the ceremony. So I didn't. Cry, that is.
I almost did - multiple times. She was my grandma, after all. Instead, I held back the tears that threatened to spill, and silently mourned.
I mourned for the relationship we should have had. I mourned for the relationship we *did* have. I mourned for my grandpa, who despite his best efforts, was unable to prevent his sorrow from leaking out of his eyes. I mourned for my aunts and my dad, who lost their mommy. I mourned for my cousins who did get to have a close relationship with her. I mourned for the wonderful woman my grandma was, and all the great things she'd done in her life. I mourned, but I did not cry.
We stood in a semi circle, her grave closing the gap between the rabbi and my sister, who each stood at one end of the group. My cousins, siblings, and I were asked to do the 'unveiling' part of the ceremony - to remove the cover from atop her final resting place, and reveal the grave marker that will honor her memory long after we are all dead and gone. We pulled off the sack and sort of stood there as we looked at the headstone.
It was beautiful - Our family name engraved at the top, and my grandma's name on the bottom right. Above her name was a picture of hands creating pottery, a symbol of her love of all things crafty, and her special talent for pottery. We sort of shuffled back to our places, waiting for the rabbi to lead us on in the memorial.
The rabbi read with us some prayers in a beautiful language that I did not speak nor understand, but somehow felt the significance of the words. My cousins once removed followed along with the prayers, speaking in time with the rabbi. I wish that I could have also spoken the prayers, and may in the future go out and learn some of the language.
After the prayers, the rabbi (I wish I knew his name, but in the commotion of family, friends, and emotions, I forgot to ask) asked us to share a memory of Grandma, and something that we learned from her. Among those who spoke, I noticed a common theme in the memories. In each, Grandma had gone out of her way to do something for the person, whether it be make them feel better, be there for them in difficult times, or whatnot. She did such things without asking for, expecting, or even considering getting something in return. She did it because that's the kind of person she was.
As it slowed down and started to look like everyone was finished sharing memories, I mustered up the courage to speak up and share mine.
I was 15 or 16 years old, and suicidal. I'd been admitted to a psych hospital as I was having a really hard time dealing with my anxiety and depression. The hospital was hell. I don't remember much about it, thankfully. However, one thing that stands out to me was on my second or third day at the hospital. I remember sitting at my desk writing in my journal, when a nurse came in and handed me an envelope. It was addressed to me, from my grandparents. I opened it and read what was written. I think I cried. I don't remember, anymore, what exactly the letter said, but it made me feel so loved. I was so touched that my grandma, who I hadn't talked to or seen in probably a year or more, wanted to write such honest, hopeful things to me when she heard that I was in the hospital.
Of course, I didn't say all that. I spoke about being in the hospital and receiving a letter from Grandma and Papa, and how much that helped. I said that that is the kind of person Grandma was. She was a selflessly kind person who gave love and expected nothing in return. She gave because she loved, and that is the most precious thing a person can do.
Grandma has shared so much love and strength with all of us in her life and in death. Her words and actions, her memory, will stay with everyone whose lives she touched for as long as we all live, for which I am forever grateful.
Sometimes, I feel like I know her better now than I ever did before. I do hope that she's watching over us. I hope she's doing well, wherever she is.
We love you Grandma.
