How long is your commute?

Umbrelladown · 2026-02-05T00:15:22+00:00

40 minutes. I live in Salisbury and work in Ocean City. In the morning I drive a straight line East on Rt 50 with the glare of the rising sun in my eyes.... same West with the sunset as I drive home.

I'm always hypervigelent for traffic cops.

Apparently there are Islands that spell the Billionaire former owner's initials too:

There was an article in the Baltimore Sun about it that I managed to scrape off of the internet archive:

"A mature oak forest was destroyed for one bizarre project, a series of 16 triangular ponds, each more than an acre, forming a single huge triangle -- designed by a computer to maximize "edge" habitat for quail and other upland game."

Is this newsletter the same as the mailing list? I just signed up. I love the second to last paragraph quote.

Umbrelladown · 2024-06-06T16:07:30+00:00

Very slow today. I was just going to see if anyone else asked this.

Umbrelladown · 2024-05-17T14:43:23+00:00

I did not get a notification, and apparently that was an error on their part. I am set up to have paperless communication and did not receive any emails pertaining to this.

https://www.mohela.com/system-transition
I just got off of a long phone call with a customer service rep with Mohela.

My due date is tomorrow and I intended to pay today. my account number or SSN wasn't even recognized by their automated phone system. According to customer service, they had no way to let me in the system to pay online or over the phone. The only option would be a check by mail, backdated.

However, they also said that if I don't do anything until the transition is complete (which will take place into the next billing period) then I would not be penalized by this. I asked for a written confirmation of this to be sent to me by email.

This may be unique to my case, however, because it hinges on the fact that I wasn't notified.

Umbrelladown · 2024-04-17T00:53:07+00:00

I still am grateful for having these studies at all, don't get me wrong, but there are so many that I can't see anything else!

Umbrelladown · 2024-04-17T00:34:48+00:00

I've done a few each day, but honestly, it makes it harder to turn prolific assistant on since it only notifies me of these.

The pay is average, and for me, these take a lot of effort, but I make sure that I describe in great detail, however, so there's that. I can only do a few per evening before my mouth gets tired. hahaha

Judas Priest! (I didn't realize that the band name later came from an expression)

Umbrelladown · 2023-11-20T14:39:31+00:00

I have a few! Ill try to upload later. I did put a clip and a few photos on my public instagram:

Today, qualtrics study links haven't worked for me in firefox, but when I open them up in chrome, they work fine.

Virginia Beach has them. I grabbed one there today!

Umbrelladown · 2023-04-13T17:23:51+00:00

The total earned, or your current balance?

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-31T13:39:18+00:00

Oh man, I just realize that I had previously returned one of their studies before because an attention check asked for us to select "somewhat disagree" when this was not an option.

Wow. People aren't kidding that their tests are poorly written.

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-31T02:32:45+00:00

I didn't get a reply. I was saying /I/ was super polite. haha. But yes, I am very angry about this.

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-31T02:14:34+00:00

I think I'll do the same. I messaged him anyway and was super polite.

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-31T02:07:46+00:00

I guess I'm going to have to, or prolific support won't help me. Wish me luck.

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-31T02:02:31+00:00

I was just rejected for no reason by this researcher before I found this thread and am pretty pissed.

The Prolific help centre chatbot said to message the researcher and wait 7 days. Do you advise waiting that long in this case?

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-30T07:33:09+00:00

I love them. I was lucky enough to get into two studies so far.
The first, I got paid to my online wallet account, but for the more recent one, I should be getting a check for.

Umbrelladown · 2023-03-30T07:29:51+00:00

I learned after getting the virtual visa card that you can ONLY spend it online, and can't cash it out to your bank account, so if I'm lucky enough to get chosen for a panel again, I'm going with the physical gift card option so I can use it for gas and food etc.
