slow turking

Been slow for mturk-ing. My preferred requesters haven't placed many hits up for the past 2 weeks - uncharacteristic compared to the previous months. Amazon's Mturk has been putting itself out there (they've got their own twitter, finally) and gathering more requesters. Still, there are many that are scammers - same story. [Sigh] Minefield. I have mentioned this before but, again, if you're doing mturk use the third-party forum, turker nation as a guide. As for my mturk rewards (gift certificate balance), it's down -- mostly used up last month when someone from the US said that they'll be coming to the PH for vacation. I went loco and shopped till my gc balance was single digit. I went for a few small things till I got my total purchases up (way over, actually) to get free shipping. Finally have the stuff on my wish-list. Nice.

Gold ring size 6 for ref

Image
A “pawnable” 0.69g 18k Saudi yellow gold ring (photo sent by the Shopee seller). My ring size is 6... in case I forget. Another buyer left a review that when they took it to Cebuana, they received an appraised value of P1,800 or ~50% of the retail price. Gold 18k market value is ~P3,400 per gram as of today (Sept. 11,2024). But for serious assets = gold bars are preferred over jewelry.  Actual ring I received ✨ Pretty small hearts design and stamped Au750 / 6. The diamond cuts make it sparkle. It looks very nice when worn.

Panda Express Everyday Bowl PH

Panda Express Everyday Bowl Delivery via Food Panda Panda Express PH:  "Everyday Bowl" 1 Entrée + 1 Side Orange Chicken + Fried Rice =  ₱  239.00  + rider's tip - discount voucher  Panda Express' orange chicken is already full of salty, sweet flavor so this many pieces is good for two if the other person is not very hungry. Bought their "Everyday Bowl" just to try since I was craving fried rice. Usually, I get the "classic plate" with 2 entrees + 1 side of mixed veggies.

Golden Powerchair Charging/Chargers

Image
Always have a spare charger for your electric wheelchair just in case... like today. When we plugged in my powerchair, the light on the charger turned green when it should've turned red (for reference, green light = fully charged VS. red light = charging). The actual light has been dim and difficult to see for a while now. I started using this generic charger in January 2021 when the original charger stopped working. Anyway, we troubleshoot... Took the spare charger out, plugged it in and RED light! Yay *insert tears of joy* - oh there's an emoji pala  😂. The light is nice and bright. So if the light becomes dim, it is a sign that the charger needs to be replaced soon. Now that I think about it, I noticed that sign with the original charger too. Since the spare is now the primary, I will get a new spare charger (again).  the original charger the generic charger replacement
