Many people now search rolls of coins looking for silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars. I’ve previously written about coin roll hunting, one of my favorite childhood activities. But there is another way to cash in on old coins. It involves pennies of certain dates, and it explains why there has been more than one …
Last year I took ten pills in ten days to make $40. That isn’t much for participating in a medical trial, but hey, you have to start somewhere. And you can make a lot more than that. How much more? In one study NASA paid volunteers $15,000 just to stay in bed for a few …

But I make my living freelancing and running a few websites, and doing various other things online, and it’s a bit precarious as far …
There are plenty of jobs for animal lovers! Jobs for animal lovers are not difficult to find or to create: wildlife advocates Jim and Jamie Dutcher actually lived with a wolf pack in a 25-acre enclosure for six years.
