Double Someone Else’s Money and WIN!

(I had deleted the post previously, but have decided to post it again, as I wish for everyone to join in on the fun of Moola.com! )

P.S. It’s actually working for me! I started the day off with 20 cents in my account, and just through playing, I’m up to $2.06. Don’t know anywhere else I can go to play games and make 10x the money for it! I can’t wait to be at 10x where I am now, and then 10x that!

My boyfriend showed me this a bit ago and I just had to share.

Moola.com , which I have now written about a couple of times, is a great site which allows you to play games and make decent money while doing it. I’ve been reading through the forums over there today, and there are actually quite a few people who’ve won anywhere from $20 to thousands over there. It’s a very new site, with around 500 players online at any given time.

The general premise of Moola is that one player, if given a penny, can play games 30 times, double the penny each time, and eventually become a millionaire. The cool part is Moola expects you to invest no money of your own. They start you out with your first penny to play with. If you lose that, they’ll keep repleneshing your 1 cent. Anytime you fall back to zero, they provide you a penny so you can keep on playing.

The coolest part is, once you build up some funds, you aren’t forced to risk the whole kit-and-kaboodle when you play. You can actually select levels lower than your own to nickel-and-dime your way up to the higher levels. Moola also offers boosters for users which means you get free money for trying out their sponsors, which is usually a decent return on your investment as well. For example, I signed up for Gamefly for $9 and will be getting $17 and change out of it (I’ve already gotten a partial credit of $2 for signing up and I’ll get the other $15 once the trial period ends). Since Moola allows you to cash out at $10, I’m well ahead of the game. I’ll cash out my $10 so I’m even on money, and use the other $7 to play lower level games and hopefully, build up my balance pretty quickly!

Moola also incorporates a Search to Win feature. Up to four times a day, when running natural searches (not overkill, but searches every once in a while on the site for things you really need to look up), you get the chance to spin the Booster Wheel. With prizes of 2 cents up to $9000 (yes, one lady actually won $9000!), you can’t go wrong.

Moola.com, as I’ve stated before, is currently invitation only. However, it is fairly easy to get an invitation. I have two available currently, so feel free to click this link to follow and join, but please only click if you’ll follow through to join and at least try it out :

Earn Some Moola and Have fun doing it!

For those of you who can’t get in there, check back with me tomorrow!  I’ll have more information and probably more invites.  They’re really working to build up their membership, and every time I run out of invitations, I get a few more to pass along.

Let me know if you have any questions! Looking very forward to losing to you at Moola.com (but hopefully winning) in Gold Rush , RoshamboFu, or Hi/Lo!

Oops, nothing to see here either!

Movies 1 & 2 (Sorceror’s Stone & Chamber of Secrets) were almost exactly as the books read. Movie 3, Prisoner of Azkaban, was ok, but missing some things that are very important (like this one, what’s the deal with Sirius-centric stories missing key details??). Movie 4 (Goblet of Fire), although missing some extra details, stuck to the story and its pace and its path pretty well, while including some fun extra things to keep you more than interested.

This movie, Order of the Phoenix, however, kept the storyline, but took liberties with the path of the story, putting things from the end in the middle, and the middle in the end, and leaving some important things out altogether.

To those of you who have seen the movie and read the book, you will know what I mean when I say that the movie was great in its own right, but truly missing some very important information.

To anyone who has NOT seen the movie, I really recommend you do because it is a great movie in and of itself. You should read the items below so you have a better idea of the bigger picture, however, but ONLY if you don’t plan on reading the book (spoilers for the book, but NEEDED info for the movie if you won’t read the book)!

Here, some info that may help the movie flow along much better and the story make a little more sense:

1. Ron and Hermione become Prefects in Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. (Yes, I said Ron! ) Prefects are the students who watch over the other kids in Gryfindor. Harry, however, is NOT selected as a prefect despite his past doings, and this contributes to his feeling more and more separated from his very best of friends and Dumbledore.

2. Rita Skeeter, an annoying reporter, works for The Daily Prophet and plays an important part in the book, pestering Harry, wanting to know everything, and publishing the “Truth about Harry & Voldemort”.

2b.  The Quibbler, the magazine you’ll see Luna Lovegood holding, is banned by Dolores Umbridge.  Luna father is the editor.

3. Hermione, in this book, starts a Society for the Protection of House Elves (SPEW) and insists that all be nice to Kreacher, Sirius’s house elf. Kreacher may not deserve the fair treatment Hermione insists he get after all.

4. The prophecy in the movie is revealed to all, but in the book, Harry still keeps the full prophecy a secret from Ron & Hermione through the end.

5. There is an important character, a possible hero, in the major student characters who nobody would expect, hinted at in the book, but not the movie.

6. A budding friendship between Harry and another female character is completely left out of the movie, but is in the book.

7. In the 5th book, a centaur becomes their teacher of a particular subject, but this Centaur, who plays an important character in the book, isn’t even mentioned by name in the movie.

8. The original prophecy was made by a very particular character showing this character’s true importance and why Dumbledore cares even slightly for the character as he does in the movie, but this explanation is also left out of the movie.

9. Bellatrix Lestrange is Sirius Black’s cousin, and also related to the Malfoys through marriage.

10. Slytherin gets some new Quidditch players (if you’re going to see this movie for Quidditch alone, that aspect is left out).

11. Percy Weasley is an employee of the Ministry of Magic and because of this, is not really speaking with his family. (In the movie, in the Minsitry, you will see a lanky curly red haired young man. That is Percy. I don’t recall that they actually address him by name at any point in the movie.)

12. Cho Chang and Verita Serum are much more explained in the book.

13. Dumbledore has a VERY good reason for separating himself from Harry, explained in detail in the book, but not so much in the movie.

Thanks for reading! I hope this is helpful for you when seeing the movie. They honestly could have included most of this, even briefly, and added only 30 minutes to the movie — A movie I KNOW people would have still seen had it been 2 hrs 48 minutes rather than 2 hrs 18 minutes (Although I enjoyed the movie, I promise I did, I’m so disappointed in that aspect!)

FYI, Book 5 an 868 page book, while Books 1-3 were ~400 pages, and book 4 is ~650 pages. No reason whatsoever this should have been the shortest movie!!!

Yes, gravy. I’ve been putting this off for some time, but am now going to look at a great inexpensive way to incorporate a way to make a little extra money into the site. Here are 5 ways I’ll look at doing this:

1. Text-Link-Ads
2. ReviewMe
3. AdSense
4. AssociatedContent
5. Helium

These sites pay you to write, on your site or for them. I’ll keep everyone up on how those go. I’ll be submitting the site to TLA soon, but don’t know that I’ll be approved because they do have quite high number standards as far as traffic goes. Nothing to lose! Going for the Gravy!

Lesson:

It can’t hurt to try something to make money, especially if it’s free!

7 Things You can do today to celebrate 7-7-7

1. Tell 7 people who you admire that you admire them and why.

2. Buy 1 Pick 3 Lottery ticket (if you’re old enough) for the numbers 777.

3. Read Harry Potter 3 because you’re trying to finish the first six books before Harry Potter 7 comes out July 21st.

4. Bake a 7-themed cake (revolving around the theme of 7 somehow).

5. Throw a 7-7-7 picnic/party/event.

6. Make a 7-spice dinner of some kind.

7. Spontaneously find a way to incorporate 7 into something you do today. Make it fun, like a 7th-movie marathon (Halloween 7, Friday the 13th 7, Jason 7), or watch 7 episodes/hours of something you might have on DVD - 227 or Seventh Heaven for example — or go to 7 places you’ve never been before (even driving down a different street you’ve never been to to get somewhere counts).

So a lot of you find my site via StumbleUpon and I wanted to send a special thanks to SU and all of my visitors, for without you I would be nothing. :)  Not really, but this blog would be more like a diary than a blog.

Thank you all and I hope you truly have a terrific time reading not only my Stumbles but my site.  I enjoy writing so much and hope that things can be learned.  I’ve taken a bit of an off-course turn in my writing as of late, but isn’t that what a blog is for?  For writing.  More financial funnies and lessons coming your way soon, I assure you!

Have a great day!
