Sounds like a really nice home. It\u2019s great that your family is taking care of the local cats, I got a little confused when you said you fill the backyard cat feeders but haven't seen the yard yet,

Reaching out (what was wrong with contacting?); Like (being every other word); As of yet (why not just as yet?). Biggest annoyance is people who say Haitch when the name of H is aitch.

In Canada you must pass a criminal check to drive a cab, any criminal can drive you in an Uber as they are not...

I think the "New data" is "old news" because they've already proved emissions from automobiles are bad for humans. That's why the catalytic convertors were added to our cars many, many years ago! ;-o

Sounds delicious and the slow cooking is very good advice. There's the Sunday Roast taken care of! Thanks for sharing.

Why is Wednesday referred to as Happy Hump Day?

To me, it's still the ridiculous essay questions that some "pre screening/quality control" are. I don't need to tell them my morning routine, or which famous person I'd most like to meet and why.

My only experience was meeting a well known tv host in the mall when I was about 11 or 12. Got his autograph, but had to get his helper to pass it onto him. Spoke to a couple of well known local female politicians once. One was rude.. the other was real nice, but she passed away still quite young.

A teacher is asking her class what they had for breakfast today: Mary said "I had cereal Miss" Jane said "I had fruit and yoghurt Miss" Johnny didn't answer. Teacher again asked what he had for breakfast. Johnny said "I didn't have any f**king breakfast". Teacher was furious and said "for that rude response I will ask you a very difficult question: Johnny, where is the Nigerian border?" Johnny - "In bed with my Mum, that's why I didn't have any f**king breakfast!"

Good Lord, did Pirates teach you nothing?! Scurvy, children, Scurvy...(But actually, Watermelon is my fav) :-D

I\u2019m sick of doing a full survey of 30 minutes or more only to get to the end and told I have screened out. This is so frustrating and unfair.

The rating fit the time listed, useless

Now none.i will just sleep. As a child( like when I had pneumonia) it was midday movies on the couch..my favourites were silver screen.

I don't like many sports but I have always enjoyed watching any martial arts. There is just something about them that has always caught my attention.

Good Lord, I don't care for any of them. I hate anything that hangs below my knees. Too easy to put a foot through the dress. Even my wedding dress was a mini!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Emphatically Yes! No less a being than God Himself knows that people change. The caveat is that we must wish to change, and become more like Him. He not only helps us see that we need to change, but He is there every step of the way as we change. Everyone human has sinned, but if we confess our sins to Him, turn away from our sins, and turn to Him, He will accept us...immediately. We humans cannot tell if a persons change is genuine, but that's not our role or business anyway. Only God will be able to judge, and He will do so when He comes to earth again. I know from my own experience as a great sinner, that God never stopped pursuing me, and I finally accepted His invitation to make Him first in my life. I am now a changed person, saved by His grace, and if God can assist in helping me change, He can help anybody. So, make the decision you want to change, and He'll be right with you every step of the way---I promise, and so does He.

not today thanks

I'm REALLY good at organising drawers/shelves etc. to make the most efficient use of the space, i.e. storing as much as needed, in a logical/practical/genuinely useful way to be able to access items easily, and in an aesthetically pleasing way that LOOKS organised and hyper neat too. And I have no issue with doing it for extended periods. My autism and ADHD combine, to where I can hyperfocus on a single drawer (and for an embarrassingly long time) arranging and rearranging everything to get the most perfect outcome possible. I guess I'm 'fortunate' in that the two conditions interact this way, because I'm a very atypical ADHDer in that I'm not messy/disorganised - I am INSANELY tidy and orderly, finicky, obsessive about my surroundings.... probably to a disorderly degree haha. (spoiler, I also have OCD). People been both shocked and delighted seeing the results when I've volunteered to tidy/organise their storage spaces.

Telling the truth about Trump

I want to spend and use as much government resources as I can, to get back at all my taxes wasted to support useless politicians and public servants.

1 point for number two although as I have Type 2 Diabetes I won't be eating any of them, unfortunately. Coles have some beautiful $30 cakes often marked down to less than $10 a day or two before the use by date. Full of sugar and carbohydrates but almost irresistible.

That looks and sounds so nice. Thanks for sharing.

A few nuts on here apparently and their bad political views. \ud83d\ude1b

No thanks, not millionare or billionare celebrities. The worst is when they plea for us to give to charitable causes when they make enough money to feed the people in Vanuatu 1000 times over. and save their island from sinking in the ocean.

I would have made an 'UNBELIEVABLE' lousy father (never learned to care for my fellow human(s)). I got 'LUCKY' and never impregnated a female. When I turned 26 - I got a vasectomy (which made sex more enjoyable for me for the rest of my life)! The 'only' accomplishment I am 'truly' PROUD of - I never become a FATHER!!

TO my way of thinking so don't shout me down. Generations have been getting softer and softer. I honestly believe that we need to harden up. Whats wrong with riding on the back of a ute on the farm, whats wrong with jumping of a jetty we all did it back in the day.

I will start by apologising to our American rewardians. Usually I don't comment on specific political figures. That said,I was gobsmacked after reading Donald Trumps solution for the Gazza strip. Does he really think America will be allowed to take control,displace thousands,expect neighbouring countries to take in these people. As well as turn it into a "waterfront paradise". This is getting really scary,if you haven't read the news article or seen him make this statement please watch it. Rumours about Ametica leaving U.N and blatantly ignoring all other country leaders in the Middle East( except Israel). And proclaiming he will be the unifying force for the Middle East. One word comes to mind "Crazy". Again this probably won't be a popular comment among rewardians ,I say this out of deep concern .

Cherokee Indian heritage here, if you do not have native american blood in your veins, you are all immigrants, get off my land and go home,,,, as you sure have ruined mine,,,

Body maintenance. I seem to be constantly at appointments for some section of my body that needs to be monitored or worked on. Also, you can still do things if you want. Age is only a number used to record our time on this earth. Have a go if you want.

Would require the patience of a Saint, guess I'm on a mission to find one??!!! Looks awesome, thanks for sharing.

I don't know where you live but you have more successes growing produce than I do. I had tomatoes on my back step but just before they were ripe birds pecked them. Birds and snails eat my strawberries, birds and possums eat the plums, possums also eat the lemons, birds eat the grapefruits and cockies eat the Macadamia's while something eats the figs. However, I do get a god crop of rhubarb and cape gooseberries when they pop up. We have tried netting but a Kookburra got caught in one and something managed to get underneath others. It gets depressing but we battle on but this year we have a problem with a lack of bees. No bees no anything.

What the mother don't know any respect for the other people that is in the restaurant and maybe go to the ladies room or maybe not pull out your boob .

Immigration is massive problem in Australia and should be stopped or have a strict limit to who vets to enter and who doesn't.They should have stricter entry guidelines and laws.

Agree as allowing pets in stores will open it up and the next thing you know someone will bring their snake etc. Stores need to clamp down more on only allowing SERVICE dogs and there is very few things a dog can be a service dog eg for the blind;deaf;low sugar alert ;autistic child etc;.CAMPION dogs are not service dogs;nor is SUPPORT dogs.Stores need to be educated on the difference. Here in Ontario you can ask what the dog is needed for,just can't ask the person about their disability;eg if they say it is a working alert dog you can't ask what it alerts to eg PDSP;upcoming health event etc.

What is wrong with this person. My 1767339, read my post on everyone's comments. How rude of a person are you! If you can't be kind, then don't comment.

I believe all media is already censored. From what we hear on the radio to what kids are allowed to read in schools, we surely don't hear the truth about vaccinations and what's good for us to eat. Big oil, big pharma and big food. They mislead us with fake shortages in gas or food so prices go up and keep making them richer, big food is in bed with big pharma because if our food can make us sick we need to be on drugs for life. For example, diabetes. How many people suffer from heart disease because the Heart & Stroke foundation put red meat on their recommended diet website? They totally contradict themselves. How many people in food and drug safety are actually investors in the meat, product, dairy, etc. industries... and let infractions go ALL the time?!! We're censored from A to Z. I saw a documentary on Netflix where this company was allowed to sell children's pyjamas knowing they were full of chemicals that were quite flammable. They got away with it because the list of their chemicals was under the heading of 'secret formula' and kids died because of it. The chemicals and 'flammable' weren't required to be put on the warning label. They had to warn that the bag they came in could be a choking or suffocation risk, but not that the pyjamas themselves would kill or seriously harm your child if they got close to a flame. It's crazy what we don't know because 'they' don't have to tell us. As far as social media goes, YES, there should be censorship when it comes to bullying or lying. But, NO, when it comes to Mark Zuckerberg getting away with censoring what people were able to read and forward during covid. Pretty much only things Gates and Fauci wanted people to read was allowed to be spread, and Zuckerberg made multi-billions because of it.

No one should have any Firearms that has a Criminal record for a start. There is no need for anyone to own a firearm that doesn't work in Law Enforcement or a Security Officer or a Registered Collector or a licenced hunter or a Farmer. Here in Australia we don't have kids Murdered that are going to school or at school. One trip to America I got stopped by Police in Ca, the first thing the officer said was, how many guns do you have and where are they ? The other officer had his gun in his hand. I said "We are Aussies why would we want guns ? He said "your not from Texas then" I said "We are from Australia we don't have guns" The 2nd Officer put his gun away. The issue was the number plates on the hire car were from Texas.

Linda C., you and others like you are exactly why things like this are being done. We need to teach our kids, whatever their ages, that there are people different from the ones you teach them to accept and care for. Plus, Liane H. describes this jacket in a lot more detail than you have. It says a lot about acceptance and doing your best. Plus, it's optional whether to buy it or not. I believe we all must accept and appreciate the differences in those around us....whether colour, religion, sexual identity/orientation, age, etc. We are all created equal, nobody is better than anybody else. LGBTQ+ people do not decide to be in their community - they just are. I know some people experiment just for fun, or out of confusion, but the vast majority are born who they are; just like you were born as you are. People like you are so judgmental and missing out on some of the best relationships they could have had because of your far-right-extremism closes those doors. I can only imagine the pain and loneliness of someone born into the wrong sexed body. Or a young person afraid of being disowned for revealing their true self, or shot or beaten to death because of who they love. Or going to Hell if they're gay because that's what they're taught in church. Or being shot up in a nightclub. There is so much fear of not being accepted that many suffer in silence. AND THIS IS WHY THESE JACKETS ARE SHOWING THEM THEY ARE LOVED AND ACCEPTED FOR WHO THEY ARE!! The woke movement has NOT gone too far; we are just getting started in educating closed-minded people like you. And your kids are learning to be better humans than you've taught them to be. Your far-right extremism makes us wonder what ever happened to love your neighbour as yourself and treat others the way you want to be treated?

No why should they, it is up to each individual parent on what's given. But healthy food is the best option.

1 Yes a family needs to sit together at the meal table if possible & all start to eat when everyone is seated, if possible. That custom seems to be lacking these days unfortunately.

even without the savings, get out and at least go to the supermarket, help a short lady get something off the top shelf, listen and watch how weird people are when they think no one is watching them...I dont use home delivery.

remember, a sign of intelligence is the capability to entertain other outside ideas and facts that differ from yours. :) WHY are we learning more from the European Parliament than our own CONGRESS? Not have our national newspapers reported on this. The cover-up is always worst than the crime...The best part of being a conspiracy theorist is not having Myocarditis. It\u2019s very hard to make an individual understand that they were fooled. Many will choose to live in denialThe FDA. If they\u2019re doing this to us with pharmaceuticals, imagine what they\u2019re doing to the food\u201dThere is no instance in history when censorship and secrecy have advanced either democracy or public health.\u201dWhat people need to understand is just because you feel fine doesn't mean you're not injured. Many often don't feel high blood pressure or diabetes for a very long time until other things go wrong.The European Parliament recently conducted a summit meeting about the ongoing COVID problem, and invited MRNA technology developer Dr. Robert Malone to address the conference. Dr. Malone shared truths with attendees about the reality of vaccine injury as well as the lies, misinformation and gaslighting that victims of vaccine injuries have been subjected to \u201cEuropean Parliament Admits TRUTH About Vaccine Injured! \u201c here->-.https://youtu.be/5SaxqM_htjwDr. Malone\u2019s comments and the bravery of those who are actively challenging the dominant narrative on COVID..b

I don't understand how alot of people get really good points for doing the same thing as I do and I will only get 1 point for the same thing. Some have said it is about your points balance, the higher it is the more points you get, but that is so not true. I start my rewardia with the 5 point email reminder, then weather 1 point, picture poll, 1 point, discussion of the day, 1 point, recipes, 1 point, polls, 1 point. Then move onto surveys and play some scrabble or some other games for a couple of hours each day.

My Mum passed last week, it was a shame but we knew it was kinder for her as she had fallen and broken ribs and then she had a stroke, with the pain of her ribs and the stroke making her basically immobile and hard to swallow, so couldn't eat much except pureed food, she was helpless, so it was a kinder thing for her to pass. Love you Mum forever.

Had about 20 pink surveys today....all of them ended up with 2 points...yesterday they were azure....as you get closer to 50,000 points it just gets REALLY hard..I don't know why....

People who still support Trump . He is destabilizing the whole world and they just don't seem to understand how extremely dangerous he is .

I am really surprised at the comments below, and I agree whole-heartedly. I saw with my own eyes my father struggling to get out of this world! He had absolutely no rights! In my eyes, he was tortured more than any animal would EVER be allowed to be tortured. He had prostate cancer that led to bone cancer which I heard is the most painful of all cancers, and I believe that to be true! He was a gentle soul his whole life. He made trouble for no one, was a great husband, father, grand-father and provider! His family was all he cared about. For the last two years of his life, he was in the hospital more than he was out. They even castrated him to give him a couple more months of life. The family misunderstood and thought it would give him a couple more years! My mother was devastated at the thought of it. They took even his manhood from him. He had nothing left! All he asked for was to be able to sit down at the dinner table one more time! He never complained except when the pain was unbearable for even the strongest of men! I heard him scream in pain and felt so helpless. My heart was shattered! My sisters stood outside his door while the urologist tried to insert a catheter. There was no room for one because of the tumors! My dad cried out in pain as the doctor attempted to force the catheter into somewhere it couldn't go! I heard him scream then they took him out of bed for the last time. My mother and I looked into his pitiful eyes as he begged for someone to shoot him! I'll never forget that day! Because of it, I am not the same. I know it has produced PTSD in me in some form. He could NOT do a damned thing to end his pain--nothing!!! He was at the mercy of those who kept giving him treatment for something that could not longer be treated just to get that almighty dollar at the price of my dad's suffering! Looking back, I wish I had sued them for torturing him! I found out recently that he had also asked his grandson to shoot him! I doubt I could have pulled the trigger because I was his youngest daughter, and the light of his life. Maybe for that reason, I should have. Prison time would have been worth it to know I had done the ethical thing! After he finally, died, he looked absolutely gorgeous! His hair had come in curly, and he looked like he had never been sick a day in his life! That was the dad that I longed to see all of that time he was sick. Yes, his mental capacity was stable, he knew there was only one end, and he was a Christian wanting to be with the Lord! The tears flow as I write this! No family should ever have to go through this! Please get this legislation passed. We don't want our animals to suffer, but we let people suffer! Don't love animals more than your family!!! PLEASE!!!

Please, look at the Statue of Liberty and the sea level around it, hasn\u2019t changed in over 50 years. Al Gore said the polar bears would be extinct in 2012, nope. Ice caps in some areas have actually increased. 500 wildfires in British Columbia in the summer of 2023, 450 were set by climate activists trying to claim the fires were caused by climate change. The arsonists have been charged, some have been convicted, others still awaiting trail. Mainstream media refusing to cover this. There hasn\u2019t been one climate change claim that has been proven as fact in the past 100 years, remember the ozone layer and the attempted fear with that story?

I am a shuffler, I get where im going eventually but I have to say I must be getting stronger I can lift 100 dollars worth of groceries now couldn't do that a year ago

Wudnt touch those with a ten foot barge pole. aside ftom the side effects, they teach you nothing about eating well, nor adressing why u r eating crap foods. Stay away from them!!

Define what you consider rude. Respect is earned not granted. If someone has a ridiculous opinion they deserve ridicule. Lets face it some opinions are illegal, immoral, unethical and downright wrong. I will not respect such opinions. Having an opinion that the Earth is flat or humans were alive alongside dinosaurs will not get my respect just for starter examples. I believe most people here would not respect some ones opinion that say one race is superior to another. A mantra I live with is when arguing with an idiot make sure the other person isn't doing the same.

I agree, look at the horrible demonstrations we have had in Victoria that always end in riots. I am assuming that most people that choose to come to Australia to live are looking for a better life. DON\u2019T BRING YOUR WARING SHIT HERE!

damn,, the nut jobs still with the conspiracy shit,, give it a break, this poll is 3 freakin years old, go find some other crap to lie about,,,\u2660\ufe0f

I'll make a another huge generalisation on why men use garden tools - nagging partners too lazy to do it themselves.

This is all BS. Climate change is created by elites in private jets to bring about your obedience due to fear. You've never even been on a farm I would guess. They don't want farms they want to feed you insects instead. Wake up.

It is possible if abandoning the world agenda comes into fashion. Self sustainability is required by this country. Back to grass roots, set up manufacturing and supply jobs again. Give people purpose and meaning again. Work for what you want and wait to achieve it. Put more emphasis on community and looking out for your fellow man, instead of being for yourself. Remember back when the village raised the child...we need to get tough on crime, love one another and look after the earth and it will provide.

A few years ago..I arrived home from work to find a mahogany chest of drawers on my front porch...it didn't have a name on it nor the manufacturer's name. I went to the neighbour's house..they knew nothing about it. I waited a few days, no one came, so I brought it inside..and I still have it.

I was surprised, no, shocked to see that the majority think schools should supply free lunches to every student! They are Schools for learning, not Babysitters who feed everyone! ;-( Also, I've seen firsthand how much the kids waste at school. I watched one young man throw in a garbage can a beautifully made submarine sandwich just because he didn't "like it". ;-(

The chicken and the egg are in bed. The chicken rolls over and lights a cigarette, and the egg says... 'Well, I guess that answers that question.'"

I am an American, and I did NOT vote for Trump and will not bow down to him! Many of us are outrage and are protesting against this. It is all over YouTube that Americans are on the side of the Canadians. We support you, and I feel I should cross the border to Canada and fight the US to defend you. However, I love my country, but this is not the country thopat I am proud of. You would not believe the people who are Trump supporters and thinks he is accomplishing great things! He cares only for himself and his power. We are terrified! We love Canada, but we are stuck in the middle and if war breaks out, we could be killed for what we don't even believe in. He thinks presidents do not have to abide by the law, and he can rreign as he wishes. Our only hope is that the people and congress stops him! He has already ruined our reputation. I called him Hitler because Hitler had followers also with mind control or whatever the government is using to control them! Their common sense is gone. There is no way Trump could get elected by people with good judgment with all the things he said during his campaign. He insulted women, blacks, Jews, immigrans and veterans. Virtually anyone that he thinks isn't as wonderful as he thinks he is. I even saw a picture of him with a crown! I will not be ruled. We are losing our rights, and he appointed Elon Musk to audit the government so he has access to everyone's personal information! I did NOT vote for that. They don't care what the average person wants. You should read Project 25! They even wanted to monitor women's menstrual cycles! How scary is that, and supposedly he won the election! I have a friend who read Project 25, and saw nothing wrong with it! When push comes to shove, he backs down, but the damage is done because Canada now hates the US! We need Canada and love Canada and the peaceful decades we have had with Canada! My dad said years and years ago that Canada has never caused problems! That is a huge benefit being so close to us. Trump has lost his mind, and everyone is afraid because he would have his "people" do his dirty for him and keep his own hands clean. However, he has so much blood on his hands that it boggles my mind. If he hadn't run for president, he would be in prison! That's who we voted into office, or did we? He was not going to lose, and we all know with his money and power, he couldn't lose! I am so sick of all the chaos that started on day one. If was the same way in his previous term. Everyday he bitched about something and how bad he's treated. Now he wants revenge and doesn't care about Ukraine and in his mind, the Panama Canal is now the American Canal. We have no legal right to it, and it is not run by China! He's nuts, but tomorrow it will be a whole different story! You can tell how upset I am, and I'm sure people are turning over in their graves. I'm 72 with no children so I don't fear anything he can do to me. People with children should consider moving...seriously! I could write page after page, but it's all out their on the Meidas Touch on their website and YouTube. Trump's neice Mary Trump has a podcast against her uncle. That's pretty bad! We need to band together and fight if need be. I can't see everything I'd like to say, but you can guess what I'm thinking. Congress better see the light and do something. He blames everything bad on everyone else and everything good is because of what has done. It's all lies! I've been praying for the world. It is not a US problem, but a worldwide one. People in power don't care about us poor people. Look at other countries with dicators. They were moving here, but they probably won't now. Immigration problem solved! Great tactic, Trump! Make the US so horrible no immigrants will move here! What an ass!!!

There is a big difference between alone and lonely (and you are deliberately mixing the two of 'them'). ALONE refers to the physical state of being by oneself, which can be a neutral or even positive experience. LONELY, on the other hand describes a feeling of sadness or isolation that rises from a lack of social connection or emotional support. FYI: You completely 'lost me' when you used the word THEM in your SCENARIO!

A huge achievement for my husband when he went to cardiologist and was told he now has an ecg of a 45 year old. This is after a few years of worry. He is a lovely gentle man.

Yep, You're being a Prude. If a person is comfortable in what they're wearing....makes them feel good about themselves...then go for it, wear whatever you like. AND.... who gave you my photo ? \ud83d\ude05

I cannot believe I'm reading this discussion page...Rewardia CHOSE this?...what is WRONG with you?..we have a little racist who is unaware she is... scuttling around....please take this page down.....and fire the person who approved it...

Don't got there. Turn your life over to Jesus Christ. He died for your sins and when you become a child of God Almighty you will have Heaven too. Read your Holy Bible and get Born Again. Don't wait too long or you will miss Heaven all together. Then where will you spend eternity??? One life to live and then Judgement. PLEASE heed, Salvation is today.

I am what Linda C will be calling a fool, and proud of it. I haven't eaten meat or meat-based gravy in over 20 years. I stopped eating it because when I started working in a major grocery store I saw how much meat was being sold. I looked into where it was all coming from and discovered factory farming, and what really happens in growing/feed lots, on factory farms, inside and outside of slaughterhouses and the crowding, freezing or extremely hot conditions in the packed trucks to go from 'farm' to slaughterhouse, how cruel the people are to the animals in all of these places. I've read one person's account while getting information working at a slaughterhouse and he said he was witness to cows being pulled by machine after freezing noses and even thighs to the side of these trucks. Yes, noses and thighs were left frozen and stuck to the sides of the trucks and living cows were pulled out. Sick and injured and unable to walk cows are pushed into the slaughterhouses with bulldozers and fed to you. They are called "downers". NO, there is NOT someone going in and making sure the animals are treated kindly or respectfully. Nobody makes sure the animals are even dead before the screaming pigs are dunked in scalding water to get the little hairs off your bacon, or before cows are sliced into. The stunners don't often work the first - and only - time and the animals are 'processed' so many per hour they don't have the time to make sure an animal is dead or unconscious. A LOT of them are feeling the pain. A LOT of them see the pain and fear of what's happening in front of them and knowing they're next in line. It's truly horrific!!!! And I will NOT BE A PART OF THAT CRUELTY!! The dairy industry is almost as cruel with chickens being crowded to death. For meat or for eggs. They live in battery cages where they can't move unless they all move at the same time, or 'free range' barns where you're shown pictures of baby chicks with lots of room but unless you look for it you don't see how crowded they really are when they're all close to slaughter age. Super-size-them-fast so their skin explodes and dead birds are thrown out every day because of that. Cows being made pregnant and making babies so they make milk. Those babies are taken away immediately after being birthed while the mothers scream for them. Videos show men throwing said calves to hurt their legs so they can't run back to the mothers. And what happens to all these babies?? Yes, they are killed. These milking cows are fed hormones to make them give 5 times the normal amount of milk. There is so much pain in the dairy industry emotional and physical. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOUR FOOD REALLY COMES FROM AND STOP PRETENDING IT'S OKAY.

When I was still working in the city and had to go to work early each day I came across this guy that was hanging around the traffic lights near my place. When the lights were red he would run around from car to car asking for $20 for food and a train fare. I saw people give him money. After about the 3rd day when he was still there harassing people for money, I got out of my car and threatened to thump him if he asked me again. He swore profusely at me, threatening to call the cops on me, then told me he didn\u2019t need my stinking cash as he had plenty already. He pulled a roll of twenties out of his pocket and waved them at me. Judging by the size of that roll there must have been about 2 grand in there.. After that he never turned up at those lights anymore.

Wow, that is extremely judgemental. If a heavy woman wants to wear a skirt, a bikini, or a midriff top, more power to her. Stop the body shaming, and let people wear what they want. If you don't like it, look away.

It is not political correctness that got us in this MESS - it is racism and sexism that got us in this MESS!! Everybody says honest is the BEST policy - but nobody actually practices honesty.

Regardless of country, I feel for anything to be labeled made in Australia, it should be designed, produced and manufactured of 100% Australian commodities and ingredients then packaged in Australia with 100% Australian made wrappings, the same as for each country.

There is no sure way to 'prevent' dementia; there are steps you can take that 'might' slow down the full effects of dementia. A lot more research is needed. However, it MIGHT help to do the following: Keep your mind active. Be physically active and socially active. If you smoke, then quit smoking. Get enough vitamins (see a general practitioner aka a MD). Manage cardiovascular risk factors (thru a medical specialist aka a MD). Take care of your mental health (thru a licensed psychologist and/or licensed psychiatrist) and neurologist (MD). Maintain a healthy diet (you are what you eat). Get good quality sleep. Treat hearing loss. Get regular eye exams and treat vison loss. Most importantly (to me) see a licensed MD (or as many medical doctors you need to see) on a regular basis. FYI: For me it is slowing down the full effects of being diagnosis with dementia at an early stage in life.

if you cant get customer support just remind them you can always always withdraw your custom and you will tell all your friends to do the same and why

Reading, Writing & Arithmatic, Home Economics including basic money and its use. The teachers should also teach them some manners. A "Please", "Thank You", "I am Sorry" are the sort of Manners which can take you a long way. However I do NOT think that Teachers and Schools should be required to provide Breakfast for the Children. That is the Parents Responsibility, nor should they be expected to provide Pre/Post School Care, Holiday Care. They are TRAINED to Teach and that is what they sould be allowed to do.

Just don\u2019t reply when we comment. I wish people would chat with me. I do get lonely sometimes and have no friends. You sound mean.

because we don't care about ourselves - we keep electing the same people (personalities)over and over (again)

How can you be screened out after you've finished a survey,that means the survey isn't honest because obviously they don't like my answers!

I don't agree with this discussion, people wear what they wear, if you don't like it, stay off public transport. I wouldn't mind at all. Everybody has the right to wear what they want. People are just to effended these days. I enjoy looking at people and I don't judge them by what they wear or lack of. I don't judge people period. If you don't like what people wear in public then the problem is not them, it's you.

We haven't gone far at all. In fact we are going backwards. I always want to have full control of anything that isn't alive. and make decisions by myself. It is dangerous and will damage a lot of people. Thinking for ourselves is the greatest gift of all.

Ok so just yesterday, I went into work as usual believing \u201cyep, just another day\u201d and I was literally thrown to the floor by a student who obviously started his day on the wrong side of bed (or worse)\u2026 anyways, this severely traumatised, autistic non verbal kid wasn\u2019t happy when the \u2018ants go marching two by two Hurrah Hurrah\u2019 stopped playing (not my fault\u2026 the internet froze for a bit) And he totally attacked me\u2026 I hit the floor, (15 year old M\u0101ori kid giving everything he had to an exhausted 54 year old menopausal pakeha lady who has given her all to the tamariki of Aotearoa Nz for over 16 years) I\u2019m here tonight, reading this, covered in scratches and bruises, barely able to function, due to the mental, physical and emotional stress I endure, day after day\u2026 Yeah nah I\u2019m done I am officially an OLD woman

If your neighbour wants his friend to do it, then he can pay for it. If he wants you to help pay for it, then he and you need to agree on who should do it.

This sounds suspicious to me. Where is such a thing happening? I doubt the gov't can force you or tell you to rent a room to a foreigner or anyone for that matter.

I think you know the answer to your question and are just asking for confirmation. He is a loser and will never change - you sound like a very nice person and can deserve much better than him.

I believe climate change us being blown out of proportion. Yes there are some issues tha definitely need to be addressed but it's not the gloom and doom certain people are saying. Look at the Al Gores yhe John Kerry's and the Leonardo De Caprios. They go around in their private jet's burning mor fossil fuels the u can imagine.period.

The 2 are not necessarily the same things. Many houses used to reuse supermarket shopping bags as rubbish bags. Now we buy rubbish bags that can be made of recycled materials but still can't be recycled. The laminate on the kitchen & bathroom benches in the house we rent are fading where they get wet, but my parents' kitchen benches were solid wood & lasted for more than 40 years. I still use my Dads electric drill & it still works because the only plastic parts are the trigger & handle cover. It has outlasted 2 rechargeable drills. The handsaw I use has a wooden handle & I sharpen the blade with a file. Apparently I recently "upcycled" an old solid wood door we bought to replace a broken modern one. It's still being used as a door - it's been refurbished & reused, same as my Grandmothers' dresser made in 1908. Some things are made to last & some aren't, it's all about money, sometimes for multi-national multi-million dollar companies yet most people reading this rant aren't millionaires.

We celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary in January. I have never experienced any of your issues, though marriage is something that needs to be worked on. Unfortunately I lost him in August.

We need to stand up against these monstrosities,allowing them to be built will do nothing more than jack up our electricity bills from them siphoning off the majority of power from the outdated electrical grids across the country

I actually won bingo last night but I still have not got the "Chance Seeker-Bingo" badge and I have been playing it lots lately (and even more yesterday because of the "bonus") but I really want my badge!\ud83e\udd23

When I was about 8 or 9, I would take my pennies and my little sister down to the corner store and we would pick out penny candy, It was an adventure. It was fun. Today my adventures are of a more maturre variety but they still are fun. Spending time in thrift shops to uncover stocking stuffers is fun. Swimming with my grands and joining in their imaginative games is fun. My oldest daughter rides roller coasters for fun. All three of my daughters take turns creating Christmas gifts that make mom cry and THEY call it fun. Watching my youngest cat stalk lizards like he is the KING of the jungle is fun. (Don't worry, he never catches them.) Going out to get potato chips and dip (which is not recommended on my diet) is fun. You have to find your fun and not let go of it.

I always have cash in my wallet and if a store won\u2019t accept it then it doesn\u2019t get my business \u2026. Then we have the Telstra fiasco a couple of weeks ago where the mighty tech went haywire and people couldn\u2019t use the mighty plastic

This is going to dumb down young ones as they will not understand the basic and if technology is down they will have no common sense about the basics.

I have no experience with Emergency Department, but they are understaffed and underpaid. The fault lies with the government and has for years; it took Covid to bring it to everyone's attention. They do the best with what's available. Sorry for your experience but it happens every day.

I have been retired for 6 years and every day is now a holiday for me. If I feel like going out I can, but if I am too tired I just stay at home and relax and work on increasing my Rewardia points. I am hoping to earn enough to buy a large screen TV.

Almost all scrolling on the phone aren\u2019t doomscrolling Nafka! Except a few negative effects, there are heaps of positive benefits of this act! Knowledge seeking, creativity, meeting like minded people, expressing ideas, and experiencing professional content you never came across before are some of the positives! For any elderly person, it\u2019s far better time being spent meaningfully (whether it\u2019s night or day) than logically, I believe! Especially, at your mature age there are no hard and fast rules to be followed! It\u2019s your time and your law! No one can dictate terms to them! Most of their stressors generate positive energy which helps more brain power and a greater awareness in them! \ud83d\ude00

The Chosen one just reminded me of a good one I heard while watching Bucket List (a great movie btw) "Never trust a fart" \ud83e\udd23 Sorry, if it has already come through here on mary c's General topic page... or should I say pages and pages and pages

Those 'named days' such as bubble wrap day, talk like a pirate day, pancake day, extraterrestrial abduction day.... yes they exist and are pointless.

This sounds like incoherent rambling to me, like an old man yelling at a cloud. Times are always a-changing. I get that the older you get, the harder it may get to adapt, but if you're having challenges to adapt, there's younger family to help you out, most likely. Not all of us "younger folk" are arrogant or too dependent on our phones, I have one but I can get by without it too.

I am just thankful that the Lord Jesus gives me each day and the blessings. I am 72 years old. Each day is a gift.

WHAT? GET A LIFE and this is not days of our lives, this is supposed to be a survey site, not dear abby or is it?

Corporate greed (profits over people) aka capitalism lack of (business) ethics. Furthermore, grocery prices are NEVER going down and all other aspects (cost) of living life (housing, utilities, etc.) are constantly going up (make the necessarily adjustment - aka get used to it)!
