I found a new place to earn some cash from. I am reviewing it right now. These are some of the things I have found out by being on the site just a few days.<br />
<br />
All countries are accepted. They pay via PayPal or you can get an Amazon giftcard. They also have other "gift" type things that you can use your points to purchase as well.<br />
<br />
The site is called ChatAbout. It has been online for a year.<br />
<br />
<br />
Each time you leave a comment, answer a questions, refer your friends, or participate in our community, you are awarded points! Simply visit your profile page to cash those points for a range of great prizes shipped to you absolutely free!<br />
<br />
<br />
Points System<br />
<br />
2 - Leave a comment anywhere on Topics<br />
3 - Reply to a comment anywhere on Topics<br />
2 - Ask a question (Q&A section)<br />
2 - Answer another members question (Q&A section)<br />
2 - Reply to a news article (News Section)<br />
10 - Write a review<br />
20 - Write an article<br />
<br />
Bonus Area - Added daily<br />
Refer Friends - 20% of your friends points forever!<br />
<br />
They have also added a bonus area. You earn points for surveys or doing such things as following them on Twitter, FB or G+. You can also watch videos and earn points. I am over 100 points so far and it is pretty easy. The content must be your own and it must be quality content written in English.<br />
<br />
You can jump in and create your own topics or answer other topics started by someone else. Ask questions or answer questions. It seems really simple and its a little bit of a break from other things.<br />
<br />
500 points is equal to $5.00 PayPal or an $5.00 Amazon gift card. 2500 pts equals $25.00 and 5000 pts equals $50.00.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am still reviewing the site. I have not been paid as of yet so I cannot officially recommend it as a paying site. The person who referred me has been paid by them but I am not going to hold my breath. These sites come and go and some pay and some don't. <br />
<br />
You will in no way earn on ChatAbout what you do here on Bubblews. I am just reviewing it.<br />
<br />
So far my experiences have been a bit mixed. <br />
<br />
Pros: <br />
1.) Site is rather simple to use.<br />
2.) Site offers alot of different topics to choose to comment on and they are fairly easy to find.<br />
3.) It is rather stress free. More like fun than "work".<br />
4.) You can post your links to other sites with no problems. <br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
1.) They had a 50 point cap maximum daily that you could earn when I started. They did lift this the day after I joined so I am not sure if they will bring it back or if it will stay lifted.<br />
2.) I did not get the full 5 points for a video that I watched. I only received 3 points for the video. It took a while for the three points to credit as well. <br />
3.) I have seen one person complain about not getting paid on the site. The person posted the complaint right on the site about not receiving a gift. The upside to that was the owner of the site jumped right in and politely questioned the person about it. I do not know if the issue was resolved or not. <br />
<br />
Like I said, its not Bubblews and it won't earn you nearly as much as Bubblews does but it is rather fun. I will see where it takes me and I will post another review as soon as I reach payout. If I get paid the review will be good but if I don't the review will be bad...<br />
<br />
So stay tuned people! <br />

The white grape flavor was also a big plus. I always taste test products before giving them to the boys. The white grape flavor was not too sweet and it did not leave the bitter after taste in my mouth that is common with most drops. Needless to say, the twins had no problems taking it. The drops went to work fast relieving pains and fevers. Our household is very happy with the Infants' Advil Concentrated Drops for fevers and pains that seem to happen frequently in our home. I will buy Infants' Advil Concentrated Drops for my twins and I will recommend this product. </span></span></span></i></b></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Last weekend Keith was out and about when he found a newly opened thrift shop. Of course he had to stop and investigate. What he found was a gem of a place with lots of treasure inside at reasonable prices. We were in need of new bedroom furniture for the twins. I even reminded him before he left that if he found a decent dresser for a reasonable amount to buy it. Well folks he found a great deal! He came home with a nice dresser and chest of drawers made out of real wood for a whopping $15 each! Someone had been working on these pieces as projects because one was already stripped down to the bare wood but the other one still has the ugly yellow stain on it. My plan is to finish stripping the remaining one and painting them to match the kids decor. These are the before pictures and I will post how it looks after we are finished with it. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>I am really into simple recipes here at home. With three kids ages 3 and 15 months old I am always busy and I try to make cooking as simple as possible. This recipe is from "Betty Crocker Easy Weeknight Meals" September 2002 edition. It is an all in one meal and very simple to make. It turned out pretty good. I did tweak the recipe a bit and the next time I make it I think I will do it differently. Here is the recipe and the meal of the evening. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>1 lb. ground beef</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>1 bag (1lb) frozen pasta, broccoli, corn & carrots in seasoned sauce</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>1 can (10oz) condensed Cheddar cheese soup</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>1 cup water</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Macaroni & cheese flavored cheese topping or cheese-flavored tiny fish shaped crackers (if desired)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Cook beef in 10 in. skillet until brown, drain.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Stir pasta mixture, soup and water into beef. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover & simmer 5 to 7 minutes stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with cheese topping. Makes 4 servings. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Now I tweaked this recipe a bit. I used 2 bags of the pasta/veggie mix and I added extra carrots (canned/drained) as well as 4 oz of cream cheese. This gave us more veggies and the sauce was creamier with the added cream cheese. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>The recipe turned out good but the next time, I think I will create my own garlic sauce and use individual packages of frozen veggies as well as cook my own noodles for it. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>It is that most dreaded day of the week! Monday again folks. We are coming off of a good weekend! My 22 year old son got married on Saturday to my beautiful new daughter! You can see their picture <a href="http://lovejoyjunction.blogspot.com/2013/02/welcoming-my-new-daughter-to-family.html">here</a>. It was a beautiful ceremony and they make such a great couple. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Sunday my friend Kim come by to get her bed and dresser that she had stored in my spare bedroom. I was so happy about this. I have plans for the spare bedroom and for my attic room. I started cleaning out the attic room and trying to organize the storage closet up there. Of course we had to watch the Superbowl! Congrats to the <span style="color: purple;">Ravens</span>! I think the best commercial during the Superbowl was the <span style="color: red;">Taco Bell</span> commercial featuring all of the older people. It was quite hilarious! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Now, on to the music video of the day. Keith works the night shift at his job and that leaves me and the kids here all by ourselves during the evening. The kids and I are actually on the same schedule. We stay up very late and sleep most of the morning away. I always tell family and friends that we are on the Nightshift and that we don't wake up until at least noon and that I will have my phone set to silent until we wake up. To get to the song of the day on Manic Monday Mania! I thought that the song "The Night Shift" by the Commodores was perfect for today. (After all we are starting the night shift again tonight!) </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>The Commodores wrote the song "Night Shift" in 1985 as a tribute to Jackie Wilson & Marvin Gaye. Wilson & Gaye were two famous R&B singers who died the previous year in 1984. It was their first and biggest hit obtained after Lionel Richie left the group. Here is a link to the video and the words will follow! Enjoy your own kind of "<span style="color: magenta;">Manic Monday Mania</span>" !</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>I have been away since October 8th! That is an entire month of no blogging! Things here on the home front has been bad. I got sick on the 9th with terrible allergies. I am not sure what caused it but even my allergy meds did not take care of it right away. We had a huge party for the twins 1st birthday on the 13th. The party was very succesful but very tiring to say the least. Of course the clean up afterwards was the hardest part. The twins turned 1 on October 19th and they had their annual shots as well as flu shots on October 22nd. Well to make a long story short they both got sick with the flu and RSV. Breathing treatments every 4 hours for both of them for several days and then they finally started getting better only to get worse again. It has been hectic. Keith is working 12 hour shifts 4 days a week and then a 9 hour shift on Fridays. When he is home he is sleeping most of the time so I am the one handling the twins (except during the brief weekends). </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>On top of all of that, my Daddy was rushed to the hospital because of his blood pressure. It turns out that he had a series of small strokes. No major damage was done and they solved the problem with a medication change. It was scary to be called and told that he had to have an ambulance called to get him though. That is never good news. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Things are winding down now and I hope to be back on schedule posting regularly. I have several pictures of the party that I want to load. It was a great time had by all of us. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Yes folks it is that time again! Monday is back and so is Manic Monday Mania. The high today here in NC is going to be a blistering 53 degrees. Now for folks in the North this will sound like a day for shorts and tshirts but for us folks down south who are accustomed to hot weather, we will be wearing long sleeves and possibly coats. To add to the cold it is also raining. Can you say Brrrrrr?... It is a soup or chili kind of day around here. I did not take anything out of the freezer last night so I am behind already! (Keith just told me that we have some still bagged up in the freezer so it won't be too hard to catch up! )</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>The happenings of this household over the weekend tend to run amuck with the daily life. The twins are sick with the RSV again so its breathing treatments twice a day. Mine & Lil Keith's allergies are acting up. Thank goodness for Zyrtec! To top all of that off the dryer stopped working. This dryer is old and over the hill and it has served us well. My sister actually got it off of Craigslist and used it for a year or two and then she gave it to me when she bought a new matching set. I have used it for over two years, so it has served its purpose and then some. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Needless to say things are as hectic as always around here. Keith & I were talking about finding a babysitter and having a bit of an Escape together to go watch a movie or something one weekend. I thought the perfect song for today would be "Escape-The Pina Colada Song". I have never known the entire lyrics of the song but it always sounded tropical and well I just love pina coladas so I was feeling good about it til I actually read the lyrics. Keith & I had a bit of a laugh over it when we did read the lyrics. I decided to go ahead and use it anyway because it is tropical. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Now "Escape-The Pina Colada Song" is performed by Rupert Holmes. It was released in 1979 and was the last chart topper of the 1970's but fell out of grace the first week of the 80's only to be back on top again the second week of January 1980.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>That's right folks, its that time once again. Manic Monday Mania! Coming off of the weekend and most folks are dreading going back to work or school or to just start the day to day grind of what the weekdays have to offer. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>I am coming off of one hellish weekend. The twins were exposed to someone that was sick over the weekend when that sick person come to our house. (You would think that family would know better!) Adam is sick. He started running a fever on Saturday night after our guests left. His fever has lasted all weekend long. He has a bit of a runny nose going. Keith is on the way to the pediatricians office right now. Amazingly enough, the other two have not caught it yet. I hope it does not lead to another bout of RSV but it probably will. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>The rest of the weekend was the same as usual. No way to go anywhere (my van is shot and we can't fit all of us into the truck) so me and the kids stay here at home practically 24/7. The only physical contact we get from the outside world lately is when someone decides to grace us with their presence. (Which is great, just please leave the sick people at home!) </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>To start off our Manic Monday Mania the right way I have chosen the 80's band The Fixx & their song "One Thing Leads to Another" from their album Reach the Beach. This song topped out on the US charts at # 4 in 1983. The words and video are below! Enjoy this Manic Monday Mania! </i></b></span><br />

One Thing Leads To Another - The Fixx</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?<br />You've got a blank face, which irritates<br />Communicate, pull out your party piece<br />You see dimensions in two<br />State your case with black or white<br />But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth<br />You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Do what they say, say what you mean<br />One thing leads to another<br />You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long<br />But then one thing leads to another.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The impression that you sell<br />Passes in and out like a scent<br />But the long face that you see comes from living close<br />To your fears<br />If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight<br />You've seen your name on the walls<br />And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat<br />You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they:</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Do what they say, say what they mean<br />One thing leads to another<br />You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long<br />But then one thing leads to another<br />One thing leads to another</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Then it's easy to believe<br />Somebody's been lying to me<br />But when the wrong word goes in the right ear<br />I know you've been lying to me<br />It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Bigger the harder he falls<br />But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat<br />You runs for cover in the heat why don't they</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Do what they say, say what they mean<br />One thing leads to another<br />You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long<br />But then one thing leads to another<br />One thing leads to another (Repeat)</div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>I thought I would set this post in a nice bright red to go along with the Spiderman theme that we had at Lil Keith's 3rd birthday party last Saturday. It is amazing that he is growing up so fast. He was born on September 17th 2009. They decided to induce me with him because I had such a problem with my blood pressure. The beginning was easy. Then when I went into actual labor he got stuck. His shoulder was stuck and he was losing oxygen fast. A doctor stat order was called to our birthing room. The midwife was actually on the bed with me trying to get him out and Big Keith almost broke my right leg pulling it so hard. It all ended well with Lil Keith weighing in at 10.5 pounds and being healthy. </i></b></span><br />

Last week I was preparing for Lil Keith's 3rd Birthday Bash! I had to clean the house and get all of the details for the party complete, order the cake and get all of the decorations for the Spiderman theme. It turned out to be a great party! I will post pictures soon. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>To top that off I had the added extra stress of an uncontrollable ant problem. They have always been outside around in the yard but they decided to take up residence in my guest bathroom and in the kitchen. I tried everything from natural home remedies to the store bought ant traps and spray chemicals (bathroom only) but nothing stopped the little busy bodies. We relented and called<br />Terminix. They come out and the ant problem was gone before the party! YES!! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Thrown in all of the crazy happenings went the normal every day happenings as well. The twins never let me get any sleep. They both stay up until four or five in the morning. Big Keith is working 12 hour shifts from 6pm to 6am now so he is not home often. I get the brunt of the twins daily Monday through Friday and it is wearing on me. Of course you throw in potty training Lil Keith and the house cleaning and laundry and it all equals to one tired Mama! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Finally after a successful party on Saturday and a relaxing Sunday it decides to rain. It rained hard too! Of course my internet went out when this happened and I had to wait for the phone company to come fix it. They sure don't mind billing you for services but they are rather slack when it comes to fixing the problem and God forbid if the problem happens on a Friday or the weekend. It will not get fixed until the middle of the next week if that is the case. I really wish that the cable company would run lines down our road... The essence of living in the country I guess. It has Major Pluses but it also has a few Major Downers too. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>In a nut shell that has been my past week and a half. I hope to be back on top of things next week! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Enjoy your weekend!</i></b></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>I will never forget this fateful day in history for as long as I live. I was at work when one of the work shop coordinators brought a tv to our room. I was working in the mental health field at this time and my client was at a work based program. Our class/work room was the largest in the building and 3 other classes eventually joined us to watch the live coverage of the towers burning and people struggling through the smog & smoke to make it to the boats to get off of the island. We were terrified and deeply saddened that this could happen in our homeland. Please say a Prayer today for all of the people lost, the survivors and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy. </i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Ok folks, I went to bed at 6 am and I am up again at 10:30 am.... Now what is wrong with this picture? I am just about dawg dead tired! No break from the twins last night that is for sure. Keith is at home and he got up when Lil Keith woke up and I thought he come into the living room to watch the twins while I got some sleep.... well guess what? He didn't , he slapped in Toy Story 2 and went to go sleep in Lil Keith's bed. So in a groggy haze I woke up to Elijah screaming his head off in the swing. When I finally cleared the fog out of my head I went in search of Keith, I was very disappointed to see him in bed. There are times when I just do not understand men. Normally he is not like this. The only thought in my head right now is that I really dread when he is old enough to have a mid life crisis! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>I was suppose to have the Terminix man here at noon today to spray for ants both inside and outside of the house. I had to reschedule that. I am too tired and if I get both of the twins back to sleep I am taking Lil Keith and going back to bed! </i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;">Well folks the weekend is now over for me. </span></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></i></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">I have been taking it </span></i></b></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">easy this week so that means I have not been online very much. I</span></i></b></span><b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"> will be making that up this week. I am re-cooping great since my surgery. This week will be a very busy week. Little Keith will be 3 on the 17th and we are having his party this Saturday (15th). I am preparing for that and trying to get as much work done online as I can. The weather has continued to be hot and muggy. This evening was a great exception. It felt good outside when I went out earlier. I am hoping that this continues. I don't want cold weather but decent weather that will not make you melt each time you go outside. </span></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">The twins stood up yesterday for the first time. They are growing so fast. Both of them are crawling up a storm now. I will try to get a picture of them standing so that I can post it online. Little Keith is still the best big brother. When we go into the grocery store he will tell people that "those are his babies". It is very cute. They all three are growing very fast and giving me a run for my money. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">With the approach of Fall and the holidays I am trying to get the house situated. Before my surgery I did a major cleaning of the kitchen and living areas. This week I sorted through the clothes for the twins. They are growing so fast that I had to switch out sizes for them. (Thank goodness I still have a majority of Lil Keith's clothes for them to wear.) This week I will tackle Lil Keith's closet and dresser. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">I have some of my Fall decorations up & I will try to get pictures taken this week to post. We are also going to try to get out Fall/Winter garden going. I have some garlic bulbs to plant and I think I will plant some lettuce and carrot seeds as well. Not sure about anything else. The holiday are approaching fast. I think this Christmas will be a good one for us. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">I hope everyone else had a great weekend and that you will have a good week!</span></i></b></span>

I had doctors visits and of course I had to register with the hospital and get all of the necessary blood work done beforehand. After all of that then came the hard part.... I needed a sitter for the kids. Fortunately, Keith's sister is going to come and stay the night on Thursday and will watch the munchkins Friday. We have to be at the hospital by 7:30 am. That is going to be hard on Keith since he will be coming off of a 12 hour shift. My poor baby. He is working very hard these days. </i></b></span><div>
