We at Jays n Dees see that cryptocurrencies, and at least their technologies, will drive a massive component of the entire currency system in future years. That is why it is important to plan for that future, now, today..
Jays n Dees have decided to operate a main faucet for the collection and use of the cryptocurrency LiteCoin – LTC. We chose this particular crypto for the fact that LTC is fairly cheap for transaction fees, alongside the value it holds versus BitCoin.
As part of the process of setting up Our LTC Faucet at our chosen provider, we decided to make a tutorial on how to do this task. If anybody else wants to have the opportunity to share and accumulate crypto, not just necessarily LiteCoin, then this will be a great way to get started fast and easily. We do also have plans in the future to have our very own VTC direct wallet Faucet system in place, so we can also share a currency we support via mining and full node of the VTC blockchain.
Faucet In A Box Example
This tutorial is targeted specifically for the microwallet site, FaucetPay. If you are not already signed up, you can Sign Up HERE Now! It also utilises the files of the popular manual faucet template, known as Faucet In A Box. As at making this tutorial (January 2023), the version we used as Our tutorial, was r117. The zipped file of Faucet in a Box is located there also.
There are a couple of other options available when choosing a faucet to establish, including at least 2 options directly from the FaucetPay API menu. These are a WordPress Plugin, and Faucet scripts, both free. Also within this menu, is documentation relating to the FaucetPay API system itself. These 2 particular faucet templates are not discussed in this tutorial, but will be likely added at a later date.
Getting a Faucet online and operational does require a number of things before you get started, so please make sure you have them all as you progress through the tutorial!

The Tutorial:
Set Up The Database
Once we have organised everything we need, we can make a start on getting Our Faucet online and operational. So we will firstly setup a new database via our cPanel of our chosen webhost.
Following the images below, the first thing we need to do is access our MySQL Database Wizard from the cPanel.
Learning where to find everything in cPanel
Now we need to make a name for Our actual Database. For this tutorial, we have named it “ExampleDB”. Click on Next Step when done.
Used only as a demonstration
Create a user dedicated to the database. The tutorial uses “dbUser”. Also setup a password for this user. The password “dbPass(2023” is used for this example, for a strength of 86/100. Click Create User when finished here.
username and password here are only used as a demonstration
Now we need to set the necessary permissions of the created user. Select the All Privileges checkbox to do this. When complete, click Make Changes.
set the user privileges
Setup of database is now complete. Now we can click on Go Back, and proceed with what needs to be completed next.
all done
Make sure you keep a note of all these valuable details! Our method is to have a text file where we can copy such information to. Here is Our Tutorial Example.
keep your information saved in a file
Putting The Faucet Files Where They Belong
Now we need to upload the zip file to at least the public_html folder of our webhost. This area is accessible using the File Manager in our cPanel.
file manager
Upload and extract the zip file into the public_html folder.
right click the file to get this menu
Note that by default, the zip file will create its own subfolder (faucetinabox-ultimate-r117), so delete the zip file once extraction has completed. Also, you may wish to rename the folder to something more simple, such as “faucet”
deleting a file via the right click menu
A very important procedure is to change the settings of the config file, so that it is not accessible to the users or anybody else. We can do this by right clicking the file, and selecting Change Permissions.
config php permissions
And then we alter the checkboxes to make it a 400 permission. Click on Change Permissions when done. This restricts the file so that a user cannot go and edit anything to do with the file. Further locks can be incorporated, but that is beyond this tutorial scope.
Now we can go and modify our config file, so that it will use the database we previously set up. Right click the file, and select Edit.
editing the config
Modify the selected areas to match up with the details in our text file, and save the file. A worthwhile note here, is to understand 2 other options in this file- display_errors, and disable_admin_panel. Once the faucet is completely setup and operational, they need to be changed, and the file saved again. It might also be worthwhile to add your own referral link from FaucetPay into the required section. Don’t forget to save the file!
Setting Up Our Faucet
We need to login to the faucet admin page to make all of our changes. We can do this by navigating to the admin php file on our domain, where we saved the faucet files to. For us in this tutorial, we need to navigate to: https://www.jaysndees.com/faucet/admin.php. Your site will be different, but you need to enter that admin page. If our database setup was successful, we will be presented with a password for our login to Faucet In A Box. If there are any problems, these will be displayed as a friendly error.. A common one is “Can’t connect to database. Check your config.php. Details: (Details). Otherwise, copy that password to your text file, and then click the link about Continuing.
save the password here into your saved file
Now is to enter all the necessary details – especially those mentioned in the red error box at the top of page.
on first login to Faucet in a Box
For the Service API Key part, we like to leave this to last, as everything can be set up before we enable the link to FaucetPay. Do not forget to get your faucet API at FaucetPay, via the Faucet Owner Dashboard. Copy the key to the Service API key box and save your changes. Our Faucet created from this tutorial, is located at Jays n Dees LiteCoin LTC Super Manual Faucet ultimate
Scroll this Basic Page section, change all the information to what desire, and click the Save Changes button when done.

Then proceed with the captcha system(s), and progressively move across the tabs until everything has been completed to your satisfaction. Don’t forget to save the changes as you complete sections! If you have no shortlink services, and want to include them, please click here. A side note here- depending on your chosen Template, you may need to add in your advertisements if you have them, and any other code. If you have no idea about advertising sites, you might want to check out Our N00b Guide.

The Security tab is a host of options that will need to be set up and incorporated, but they will not stop your faucet from being completed and operational. They are settings to ensure that you get (mostly) real users, and not bot traffic. Bots are bad.
So there we have it. If all was done correctly, you will now have an operational cryptocurrency faucet that you are the proud owner of. Do not forget to move over allowable funding for it, and set any limits you may want to impose, such as banning specific countries or ip addresses, maximum currency limits for a given time period, account authentications, and much more. Whilst some may have their advantages, be aware that it can also hurt your overall traffic.
Advertising on a faucet is pretty much guaranteed. How else is a faucet owner supposed to supply a steady stream of claim amounts to the users it supplies to?
Finding a happy medium of advertising is not a particularly easy task, especially when you are first starting out. There is so much to think about like the numerous different ad formats, what you will use, where they will be placed, right through to how you will receive payments.
This guide is aimed at hopefully steering you in the right direction so that you may profit with minimal worries.
There may be a bit of time involved when you first start out setting up and implementing all these various revenue streams, but rest assured, it will only seem hard to do the first time, and with this guide, you should be able to decrease any negativity to the task.
Let’s get into it by starting with defining into general classifications, the different types of advertising.
First though, when setting up any of the following sites, please consider using the actual link we provide, or consider making a donation to us. Either way, you are helping us immensely, and as a forward thought: Thank You.
Direct Advertising:
This is probably best seen as the advertising you wholly relate to. Do you have any special sites you use that offer rewards for promoting them? Do you want to promote to earn?
How about we give you something to start with? We only give out legit trusted sites, after extensive testing, and payments received.
Allow us to list here for you. after signup, you will be able to link to the sites via your own special links to encourage users to start earning with you! We will even show you where to grab the promotional material from, and how to incorporate it into your own site. Easy as anything.
Click the banners to sign up.
SerpClix:
After you have signed up and logged in you will be able to access your promotional items from the My Referrals navigation. You are given a link to copy, and also promotional material. For us it is a 468×60 banner. We copied our link, and also copied the link for the banner. Then we built a banner link from the basic image as link html code. This is:
The <div sets the alignment content on the page to be centred, The <a href gives the link to navigate to, The <img src is where the file is hosted, and with the remaining items it provides an alternate text, and style is some inline css to provide image dimensions.
<div align="center">
<a href="{Link Destination}"><img src="{image location}" alt="{alternative text to display}" style="width:{horizontal}px;height:{vertical}px;"></a>
</div>
FreeBitcoin: Here is another site for you. It is an hourly bitcoin faucet, but there are also a number of other ways to earn and win! They pay via direct BTC wallet address once you have earned over a certain threshold.
Once you are logged in, you can head to the Refer navigation to access your own promotional materials.
AdaMatic:
Pipeflare:
PublishOx:
The steps to take are very similar for all of these sites.
Now you are ready to implement this code into your website- whether by direct file editing, or via your faucet Admin Template tab.
If you want a handy quick reference guide for the common webcodes, navigate over to W3Schools. It has almost everything you need.
Indirect Advertising:
This is a very broad category, but it is essentially anything that you are happy to run as your revenue streams. you will likely need to filter advertising that you deem acceptable, but when properly set up, can allow for a substantial portion of your earnings.
The trade offs really begin when you are considering running advertisements that are shady in nature, like pornography or those annoying flash update advertisements. everybody knows now that flash has been discontinued, so it is mostly likely that it just wants to install malware of some sort. Sites owners lose users real quick with that sort of garbage running rampant on pages.
We are providing a small number of sites to get you up and running, but the final choices remain wholly with you.
Do not try to run all of the networks at once as your page speeds will decrease in speed significantly.
Traffic Exchanges:
Although this category is not directly responsible for revenue generation, these types of services are beneficial for the fact that they provide initial eyes on your project. This does a number of things such as kickstart your advertising revenue, and also can assist in getting more users to your site or promotions via referrals.
These generally work on a credits system, where for each view you give for viewing someone elses site, promotion or otherwise, you will receive a credit or view of your site or otherwise. They can effectively work very well together when set up properly. We will provide a small demonstration.
We will use our faucet link for the purposes of showing you how to do it.
First we will use our Traffic AdBar account to make a special link of our faucet link. This is done via the Websites Navigation.
accessible via the Websites navigation on the side left
Fill out the extra details and Save.
enter the required information
Once saved, navigate back to the Dashboard and scroll down down until you get to the Hits per website details. Copy the link shown for your added site. Note that we didn’t copy the http portion. This is an unsecure protocol anyway, and not something we recommend specifying by default. Add the link into your text file if necessary.
copy this portion of your link
Login to Easy Hits 4 U and click on the Websites navigation to add the new link. If you haven’t already added a website, this process will enable you the ability to earn hits to your particular page or site via surfing or doing offers. 1 credit is 1 hit on your page. Ideally, you would want to work up to thousands of credits, and alter your view amounts to over 1000 views per day.
For the particular settings we chose as shown below, we assigned 100 credits to the link, and via the advanced settings we chose to make it daily unique traffic, shown up to 100 times per day, every day of the week. For this to work exactly as intended, we would need 700 credits assigned to the website every week. This means that at least 100 hit credits need to be earned every day to work. This can always be done by completing offers for credits, and surfing the 1:1. There is always the potential to win extra random credits whilst surfing or leveling up too! Of course, if you simply do not have the time, then you can always purchase credits or upgrade your membership.
add in all the details, including advanced settings
Once you click Submit website, there will be a countdown timer to make sure the page loads correctly, and if everything works properly you will be able to Confirm the page by clicking the button.
after the countdown you can confirm the site
As necessary, you will be able to assign any available credits you have to the page and click the Assign button. Try to keep enough credits assigned so that there are no interruptions to your page views.
assign credits by typing in a number and clicking Assign
What did we just do here? Using the 2 traffic exchanges, we made it so that when users are viewing your site on Easy Hits 4 U, your Traffic Ad Bar account will get credited with points also. The more points you can earn on TAB, the more chance of your site also being shown there too. We can focus our credit earning on EH4U, but it is always a good idea to earn some extra hits on TAB too – it could be a different user who sees your page, and so has a better chance of bringing you some revenue via your advertisements! This can be done via the daily email links, and the Click here to earn points button.
Crypto Earning:
This self explanatory section is how you earn actual crypto to help fund your faucet, crypto wallet, and essentially your lifestyle too. You visit another faucet site, make a claim, and receive your earnings. Using the services of a microwallet site such as FaucetPay helps keep transaction fees down, whilst being able to see in real time your balances for various cryptocurrencies.
Currently, FaucetPay supports the following cryptocurrencies:-
There is also the option to convert between each of these cryptos from within FaucetPay using the Coin Swap feature, which is accessible via the Dashboard.
It is important to note, that not every faucet or claim site will use a microwallet to send payments too. In these cases there is usually a minimum amount necessary to be reached, and then you are able to withdraw directly to a wallet you hold the keys for. Remember that with sites like FaucetPay, the trade off is that you do not actually possess the keys linked to your username. Always only keep in the account what you need for operational purposes, and withdraw the excess out to your actual crypto wallet.
Here is a few sites to get you started. Most pay to FaucetPay, but there is also a small number of sites that pay direct to wallet. In each instance, it is mentioned where they pay to. These are all links that open in a new tab.
Link Shortening is another way to earn. Some require a PayPal account to pay into, some are able to pay into FaucetPay, and minimum amounts almost always apply. Whilst it can be fun to earn a little extra by shortening and sending links to friends and family, the real power comes from the ability to link the service to your faucet, via a developer API. You won’t need to copy and paste links, it is all done behind the scenes for you.
We are just going to take a quick moment to expand on this a little by mentioning something we are seeing more and more when claiming. We see it as a big no no, as it is frustrating and disheartening to see.
We are referring to the unscrupulous practice of shortening a shortlink. Essentially the practice involves setting up a shortlink with one service, and then using that link in another shortlink service. It is a disgusting practice. It’s that simple.
Here are some shortlink services you might like to sign up to. It is always a good idea to examine what the minimum payouts are, and also your options on where to receive payments to. We like services that pay to FaucetPay, and their amounts are usually low. Check out these Shortlink Services: Exe io Tmearn Shorti io Pe Short
With all of the above services, your Developer API Token can be gotten from the Tools Navigation. You simply need to copy the key into the appropriate section in the Faucet in a Box admin panel-> Short Links for each provider, set a priority and limit, and enable the provider. Remember to save your changes. The save button is located at the very bottom of the Short Links page.
Mining:
We decided to include this section, because it not only wholly relates to a revenue stream for prospective faucet owners, but also as an earning stream for general users.
Whilst not everybody has the ability to mine for cryptocurrency due to various factors such as inadequate hardware, high electricity costs, or any number of other things, if you can do it, then you should do it. Not only are you bringing a revenue stream for yourself, but you are also contributing to the decentralisation of cryptocurrency.
If you have a decent dedicated GPU (not onboard type), then you are more than likely able to mine crypto. Your choices may be limited, but do some research to find the best option.
If you want some more information on mining, not just our part in it, but also in general, then please check out Our 2023 Crypto Earning Guide!
How To Set Up Your Revenue Streams:
As we previously glossed over above, you will usually need more than a single stream to be successful in earning crypto. Sure, it is a fairly simple process to just go and buy some, but we have chosen to stick by our no investment* path. All crypto we have, now and in the future, will not be purchased by us by means of fiat currency.
So how do we set all of this up to start earning as early as possible?
It all starts with a plan of what you want to do.
For us, it was a decision to first set up our faucet to be operational, and then extend the purpose of the advertising partners we have for Our Blog. As we already have accounts with providers already, we cannot go and show you how to create the accounts. We can however, inform you of the few vital steps you must do to ensure you get paid.
Note that this all assumes that you already have an account at FaucetPay, but if not, then please click HERE to get one.
You do also need a crypto wallet, with at least Bitcoin BTC listed in it. An exceptional multi coin wallet that we do recommend, is Exodus. This works with Android, iOS, and computer platforms. With over 260 assets supported, you are likely to find it will have what you need. Get Exodus for your platform from HERE.
Let’s get stuck into it now. For all that we mention below, we will also provide some quick reference instructions for you so that you can easily implement it.
We use A-Ads as our main advertising platform. We use it due to the simple integration formats, and also for the fact that they pay right down to 0.00000001 BTC – yes, a single satoshi, over to FaucetPay. Yes, we sadly do only earn a single satoshi sometimes..
If you haven’t yet done so already, go and create an account over at A-Ads. Then go and update your BTC payment info to pay you at FaucetPay, and put in your FaucetPay linked BTC address. As an account protection measure, you do need to do the confirmation processes when altering these details. Refer to the following images if you are unsure where to find the items to alter.
Now we have to decide, if it hasn’t been already, what format(s) of advertisements to run. There are numerous options to choose from, but the most common ones are horizontal banners-728×90, 468×60, vertical banners-160×600, 120×600, and the rectangular 300×250 or 250×250 types. You do not have to run all of these styles, though it does make for a wide selection of varying advertisements. Also to consider, is where they will be placed on the site or page.
For this example, we are going to set up for a 468×60 banner.
First, create an ad unit. This is done through the Earn navigation. Follow the images below if unsure.
Ensure Site is selected, choose the 468×60 option, and enter the exact url where it will be found. Note that it can also be used on other pages too.
Change any content filters, and if unsure what they mean and how they will affect your revenue, change the checkbox selections and hover over the individual question mark help prompts.
Once you are satisfied, complete the captcha and click on Create ad unit.
The resulting shown code is what you must use to implement the ad space on your site. We suggest copying each ad code into a text file so it can be easily referred to when putting these codes across your website. It is as simple as copy text->paste text. Make sure you copy the entire code, it finishes with a closing < /iframe >
When you are finished making any wanted ad spaces you can proceed to the next step.
Login to your faucet admin panel and proceed to the Templates tab. If you do not yet have a faucet set up and operational, please click here (link to faucet setup) before proceeding.
If you only want to know how to incorporate the adcodes into your website, here is a basic html code for you to refer to. This will create a basic page with a heading and an adcode:
Scroll to the bottom where you can input your ad codes, and paste them in. We placed our demonstration code into the Top box section. Save your changes when you are done.
If you are setting up your faucet and haven’t yet done it, now is a good time to implement your developer API keys into the appropriate section. This of course only applies if you are choosing to use short links to assist with revenue. If you are not using short links, then simply skip this section. Go and copy your Developer API Keys from your shortlink services. You may have them in a text file already. If you do not have any providers yet, please consider any of the following: Exe io Tmearn Shorti io Pe Short
These need to be put in to the relevant sections located in the Short Links tab. If you cannot quickly find your service, run a quick search for it using Edit->Find. If that fails to yield results then it might not be supported. You will need to set the shortlink reward bonus, if it is required to claim, how many times you want to show it to a specific user during a 24hr period, and set a priority number for it.
Scroll right down to the very end of the page, and save your changes.
This guide should get you up and operating your faucet. Although many details were left out, like all webhost informations, advanced file setups, and pieces like that, they are not in the scope of this particular guide.
Here is our Jays n Dees guide on how we will be earning crypto in this year of 2023. Whilst it will not be the most comprehensive list on the planet, we are going to be listing the best sites we use. Hopefully you will find your own gems in this list!
True Fauceting:
We do find ourselves drawn to claiming from faucets once again, even after everything that happened in 2022 and prior. We use the services of FaucetPay for our claims, and now we have our Litecoin faucet set up there too. It is only early days, but it will be interesting to see how that goes. We spend a lot of our online time claiming from faucets. Sometimes there are great runs with them, and everything flows along smoothly so it is efficient. Sometimes though, even patience and acceptance isn’t infinite with claiming. Regardless of, this is a list of the sites that we use.
Auto Faucets: If you set your wanted autofaucet claims up early in your pattern, you can ensure that any claims from them are maximised in length. Some autos require you to prime them up for run times, and others just run for a set amount of claims before they expire, with no other intervention from the user. The autofaucets listed below are mostly of the latter category, and as such, the rewards are slightly less. They are easy to get operating though, and that is important too. Tron Auto – FaucetPay BinanceCoin Auto – FaucetPay DOGE Auto – FaucetPay DASH Auto – FaucetPay ZEC Auto – FaucetPay LTC Auto – FaucetPay Fire Faucet – Direct to Your Wallet once minimum amount acquired
We still have Our mining rig and are still using it, although it is starting to show its’ age a little now. It is still the same Win10x64 box with an RX580 GPU micron memory, tuned with its’ custom ETH firmware. Sadly, this makes it not suitable at all, due to the maximum power consumption of the card being restricted down to around about 100watts, to play games on. Whilst we could flash it back to original settings if we wanted to play games with it, it was not the purpose of the purchase. So it will mine crypto until the day it decides to cease casting out nets of alphanumeric hashes.
Why power limit the card?
Contrary to the performed action, power limiting it actually made it more efficient at the task, right down to increasing overall hash rates. We tested this theory with our original chosen coin to mine-ETC (Ethereum Classic), and our hash rates did indeed improve once we had altered the maximum power, and tinkered with the memory bootstraps.
When we started mining VTC (Vertcoin) on the card, we neglected to flash it back to stock. We took some notes and monitored it for a few days, and then flashed it to stock and tried again. Our rates were lower on stock settings with way more power consumption. Needless to say, it got taken back to power limiting.
We still use the services of the same mining pool, miningpoolhub.com. When our account reaches a set amount, the coin automatically withdraws to our Exodus Wallet.
We do not earn all that much with just a single GPU, but as we are on solar assisted power, the costs are not all that big.
As it is 2023, it is time to do our tests, and see what we can earn over the course of this year. We were set back a little bit at the start of the new year due to 1 of our GPU fans dying. Fast forward to the 17th January and we have 2 new fans in there now.
The start of our mining is with ETC. We have been mining it since we got back online and rocking – apparently there were lots of windows updates, and node syncing with the Vertcoin blockchain, but from then on, we have been able to run a steady rate of between 0.004 and 0.0051 ETC every 24 hour period. I just looked it up when typing this, and it equates to between approximately 13 and 16 cents per day AUD. Not mind blowing that’s for sure, but it is crypto.
We have switched over to the VTC chain, so it is interesting to see that with the One Click Miner, we can get approximately 0.67 VTC per 24 hour period, which is around 13 cents AUD.
An important note with this, is that we could not get linked in to miningpoolhub with our VTC set up. Maybe we need to do some fine tuning to our batch file or config. We will keep attempting, if only to see what the pool provides.
Now we have given a great list of sites that are worthy of your attention. Make sure that you add them to your claiming, for as it is known – Every Satoshi Counts!
April 2023 Update:
24th April:
For about 3+ weeks now, Our VTC miner has been happily chugging away at around 1.12VTC mined per day. Current CoinGecko rates show this to be around 474 BTC sats per day, or around 19.7 cents AUD. Whilst we are still not able to retire on these rates, this is surely a great sign for Us personally, as it allows Our portfolio to build a little faster than before.
We have not done anything different – except for actively ensuring that we remain stable and online. The only tweak we have done, was a minor one, and that was just to speed up the fans for the temperature zones in the Radeon Software manager.
Specifically, this was a change to the P3, P4 and P5 fine tune fan controls, where P3 is 70% fans for 63 degrees celsius, P4 is 85% for 69 degrees celsius, and then P5 is a ramp to 92% fans for 85 degrees celsius. As it is Autumn here, Our days are not getting much more than the mid 20s degrees celsius, so it is a lot easier for Our mining setup to efficiently do its’ thing without adding pedestal fans to the mix. Come winter when it is colder, I will expect to alter these settings again, just so that the GPU fans do not kick in and out constantly.
It is going to be slightly interesting over the next few weeks, as the recent influxes of institution buying in to the major coins is surely going to trickle down to the more promising projects too.
..only time will tell.
September 2023 Update:
We have been super busy, and have 3 manual claim crypto faucets operational. Due to the insane amount of current tasks we are into, this is going to be brief.
It has finally happened.. after 11 years of parenting, our perfect run has come to a savage end..
..in the form of little Miss J4..
and she was possibly trying to kill her other part of evil- little Master J3.
J4 broke our tv. She pulled it off the cabinet, narrowly missing J3 in the process. Whilst it is not completely destroyed, viewing pleasure from it has been greatly diminished, due from, of course, the massive amount of vertical black lines that are now the dominant portion of our beloved tv.
We had used tv straps in the past for J1 and J2. Not once did they even consider that the tv would look good on the ground level. So we thought we were safe.
Never assume anything. That is our lesson.
Needless to say, when we get another tv, it is going to be mounted on the wall, up and away from the reach of cyclonic toddlers.
At least in doing that, we might be able to save some of our sanity. And also a few televisions.
We got Covid. All 6 of us.. How hard it has been this past week, struggling and juggling 4 ill children, and keeping up with their entertainment needs, when all we wanted to do ourselves, was crawl under a rock and let the world pass us by..
The saddening combination, of missing out on school, work and routine- all because of something that has been likened to the flu in recent times.. Admittedly, I am extremely glad that we didn’t catch any of the earlier strains, but still, this last week hasn’t been a cakewalk. We have all had our fair share of fevers, chills, sweats, appetite loss, endless headaches, fatigue, irritability, snot, coughs, sneezes, diarrhea, constipation, screams, and cries.. But in all honesty, it has been the vagueness and brain fog that has really been the worst part I feel. The waking up and feeling like you haven’t slept for weeks, the short term forgetfulness, the day long fuzziness, and the disassociation – where you are there and conscious, yet you feel so far away and out of touch with yourself.
It is a flu that I feel, it is safe to say, that we never want to see again.
My Beautiful, Gorgeous Wife (D2) – She has been nothing short of truly amazing throughout all of this. Tending to the needs of everybody but her own, I am the luckiest man alive to have such a special Soul by my side. She is the most dependable person on the planet, and there is nothing that makes me more happy or proud, knowing that she is going to be the same rock she always is.. Thankyou hunny – from all of my heart!
Welcome to jaysndees dot com. We are excited to have you here and share in the utter craziness of a world that is Ours.
This blog is under construction for the time being. There are a small number of external forces that have placed this life project lower in the chart of priorities, but this is being remedied to once again be a grand focal point. First though, we should actually introduce Ourselves, as it is the entire reason that we are Jays n Dees.
What We Are:
Early February 2022: We are a completed bunch of functionally disfunctional family members consisting of a party of 6. We are: 2 Adults, D1(M,38) and D2(F,30), each with Our own unique career paths and life shapings that have gotten Us to where we are now. We are both Earth Elements in the Zodiac, and are both well aware of how lazy and stubborn we can be sometimes. This Life has blessed Us with: 4 beautiful children – who are a Water Element J1(M,10), and 3 Earth Elements – J2(M,6), J3(M,approx 22wks,-Twin1), and J4(F,approx 22wks,-Twin2).
