Usually I leave ICQ undisturbed in my hard drive. Its great when I'm away and want to talk to Todd, a definite long distance savings. But its kind of useless now that I'm back here and on my own computer again. If my family get using it that would be great. But, so far, its just gathering dust. The women from the HerPlanet site use it to chat but when I look few of them are set on for chatting. If someone is there I'm not really in a chatty mood at the time. The only people making real use of my ICQ are the trolls signing themselves up as "friends". I have it set to let anyone sign up. Its much easier than having to bother rejecting them all. I don't care if they need another notch on their belt to feel better. I've never talked to any of them so it works both ways. Maybe there is some way to delete them from the ICQ site, I might do that, just to be contrary. ;)

I found a nice site called Smiley Divas, part of a Calgon promotion. I especially like smiley graphics so I grabbed a bunch from the site for my desktop. There is a screensaver you can download too. Nice job Calgon. :)

For some reason I'm still signed up with Etour. Its one of those get paid for surfing things but you actually get gift certificates instead of cash from them. I think it should have worked out better than it has. The problem is likely the competition from the cash paying sites which would look more attractive. But, I thought Etour's way of doing things had a better chance of actually paying its users. It has too. I've had a couple of gift certificates from Barnes and Noble. Lately they have been getting less sponsors. Its a first come first serve basis now when you are ready to redeem your points.
