Too damn right, I’d do more of the same, as much as I can get. I’m gonna live till I’m dead then I’m coming back for a bit of haunting …..lol

Between 2% and 6% of the US population are hoarders. In the US it is called Hoarding Disorder (HD). Men are more likely to become hoarders then women. HD can severely affect (in a negative manner) your "mental health" - trust me - I know! Extreme HD can lead to your apartment becoming a potential fire hazard - if you are a smoker. Warning signs you are a hoarder (if you reside in the US): 1. You live alone 2. You are more likely to be obese then then the average person 3. You are a perfectionistic 4. You still have at least one family member who is STILL a hoarder (that you came in contact with on a daily basis at one point in your life). I used to be hoarder till I recognize I had a "problem (HAHA)". I started seeing a pysychologist to deal with my "problem" (31 years ago) - and I was able to stop beginning a hoarder for the last 29 years of my life! Yes, I am OLD! However, the urge to hoard stuff still lurks in me - I learned with the help of professional (pyschologist) to keep hoarding at bay for the rest of my life! NO! You can not literally (with your own stuff) hold onto your PAST forever - regardlessly how hard you try! Time moves on - you have to learn to adapt and move on - or you will trap yourself in the past (with your own stuff).

THEY DONT TREAT CHICKENS LIKE ANYTHING OTHER THAN EGG MAKERS. ITS REALLY SHOCKING. IVE WORKED IN ONE. MADNESS AND CREULTY, JUST LIKE OVERSEAS. I THOGHT WE DID BETTER IN OUR COUNTRY. THE CHICKENS ARE KEPT AWAKE 24/7 SO THEY LAY ONE EGG EVERY 12 HOURS. HONESTLY, I CANT SAY DESGUSTING OFTEN ENUFF. I CANT EVEN SPELL IT PROPERLY COZ IM SO MAD AT HUMANS

I have been badly scarred by a sociopath who has no real feelings. I would never seek revenge but I can't forgive. Everything he did was wrong and he has no sense of remorse. What's the point of endorsing his actions by forgiving?

I park as far away from the shops as possible. Most cars that have trouble getting into a shopping centre carpark are four wheel drives. I think shopping centre carparks should have a separate area for these big cars to park in. They don't only cause trouble when they are parking but make it impossible for a small car to see around them when trying to get out of a car park.

This has to be a joke. Children are just that, children, and to my mind children should be seen and not heard. Why would they have a say? They don't earn a living, they go to school to learn. It seems to me that parents do not want the responsibility of rearing children and want children to rear themselves. How can a child possibly have the maturity, experience and knowledge to even be given consideration in making life changing decisions. Children deserve a childhood free from such things, no worry or responsibility, that will come soon enough. If an adult feels the need to check with a child for permission to lead his or her life then perhaps they should remain childless. Is it any wonder there are so many horrid bratty children out there, they don't have a parent they have another friend. Stop frightening them with climate change, possible war, sustainability and all that other rubbish. Why scare them with things that might never happen. I remember the Cuban missile crisis and asked my father "will there be a war", he told me I was not to worry about it or be concerned but to let adults sort it out. Indeed they did and my father was right, as a child I had no need to worry. Do not put grown up heads on little shoulders. Let them be children.

I would not take my dog on public transport. I would not take myself on it if I can help it. Not travelled on one for many years. If the bus/train are crowded this would upset the dog and certainly many people are frightened of dogs and this could cause a problem and I think the dog would come off second best. If you cannot walk the dog to where you want to go then leave it home.

Crime will always be around. (unfortunately) The legal system is very broken. One person can commit a crime and get probation. The next guy does the very same thing, and he will get 2 years. Crimminals really are not afraid of the justice system.

My grandmother had 2 small children during WW2 and they fled Malaya and ended up in Western Australia, she lost a baby on the journey. My grandpa ended up a prisoner for years. Any way my grandma was one of the first in Australia to put strawberries into vanilla ice cream. She made quite a bit of money for her self and her 2 children. They waited until grandpa could come back and then went back to the UK. My parents settled back here once they were married. I am proud to say I am in charge of our finances, I pay all the bills and I know where every cent has gone or where it needs to be. I do believe some women aren't allowed to have their own money in some marriages. Me kind of included the first time around. Not the case this time. It certainly makes a change. I still have my own bank account and I transfer what I want when I want.

first I would not go to the casino, I only buy lotto tickets, and if ever I won money I would share with my sons, plus I would give the birthday girl a few dollars depending on how big a jackpot and the rest I will buy an RV and travel the country from one end to the other, I miss my traveling days, thanks to NSW Premier that let the dreaded Covit In

Getting to sleep is very much like the type of dreams you have when you fall asleep. The length of time it takes to get to sleep depends entirely on things like medical conditions, the amount of stress you were under that day, problems in your life, noise around you, and how active your mind is when you go to bed. The best way to get a good night's sleep is to try to clear your mind of all worries before going to bed or failing that, to listen to some relaxing music in bed. NO eating for at least one hour before going to bed, NO computer use for at least one hour before going to bed, leave your mobile ( cell ) phone in another room, NOT worry about things you have to do the next day instead write a list of those things before going to bed. Having said all of that, I am the type of person who cares about others and worry a lot about things which are going on in the world and it takes me between one and four hours to get to sleep ( Living on a highway with traffic all day / night does not help either ). As a result of this, I average 3 to 4 hours of sleep at night, then I get up and do surveys, then do whatever else I need to do that day then have 2 to 4 hours sleep during the day. Counting sheep does not always work for some people because if you go to bed hungry then while you count the sheep they might start turning into lamb chops LOL

I honestly thought this was already happening. We are eventually going to run out of space for graves in our cemeteries, as interesting as it is seeing the historical graves from over 100 years ago it may come down to those sites needing to be reused... More and more people seem to be opting for cremation nowadays however, so maybe it won't be as big an issue as predicted... Cemeteries may well become more for those that are religiously inclined. I know all my family are wanting to be cremated, personally I like the idea of those environmental burial pods where you go in the ground and return to the earth; plant a tree on top of me and I will be happy :)

I sometimes take old towels, blankets and such to the animal shelter near me. I cannot understand cruelty to any living thing. To see animals being hurt in any way sickens me. .

Europe has a good infrastructure and not so long distances.Australia is completely different and I dont think electric cars are suitable at the moment.There is not even the necessary infrastructure and also the grid is already now on its limits.I will not buy an electric vehicle anytime soon

I like to get out & go for a walk in nature, amongst the trees. Sit under a big tree or hug a big tree. Let all your worries & stress go then. Nature is a good healer in my opinion. Be free & relax with nature. Get away from the hussle & busyness of everyday life. Relax & feel free Angel in a natural environment. Natural nature will refresh you & relax you. I guarantee it.

I like to try recipes from different eras, the ones from the 1930s are particularly good for anyone on a tight budget as they were developed for the depression into the era of food rationing during WWII

Maybe I am "old school" but I believe both partners should show their love and commitment to one another by wearing wedding bands.

No!, keep them away, give little people a bit of power, it goes to their heads, solar panels are good for the world, some little idiot should not have a say, fight on, you're doing a good thing.

I had sleep aponea at 80%, could not cope with that machine so i went on a weight loss programme and lost seven stone. Everyone i knew told me it wouldnt help but hey guess what it did and i no longer need the machine and sleep six to seven hours solid per night .

I’d have a lot more money, and also avoid all those sneaky surveys where you get the boot after completing 98% of them..

If they wanted their privacy they would be avoiding the Media and Oprah like the plague. It is so disrespectful what they have done to the Royal family.

No, my poor old Ragdoll is on her last legs and waiting for God. The vet has checked her and says she is not in pain but just fading so to wait a bit yet but it’s hard to see her like that. She’s 20 so not bad eh?

I'm Australian as was my parents & grandparents, why do I have to bend over backwards to appease the indigenous people of this country that my family help build to today's standards I'm getting sick and tired of the racist remarks of the aboriginals, they get insulted with the word black but wear black shirts and clothing with their own flag on it and everywhere else.

Parking lots are shared spaces with pedestrians so extra care is needed. I really hate it when you’ve backed half way out and some brainless kirp roars around the back looking so indignant and flips you off. No patience, 5 seconds and the job is done

One, not every family can afford (for one parent to stay at home - the harsh realties of life). Two, not every child needs supervision (I know a lot of latch-key children who went on to become happy, well-rounded, and successful adults). Three, not every family has a support system (grand parents and/or extended family) to help raise a child. Four, this is not an issue where one solution works for every family (PERIOD). Five, MAYBE we new tougher standards for people to become a parent (obvious - what we have now - is not working). Six, I am not a parent (don't have any children) - I am definitely not the parent type - and I realizes that early in life (I got a vasectomy - did not become sexual active till I got a vasectomy)! Seven, I don't have a solution (other then 20th Century thinking (this is the 21st Century)) is NOT the solution - we need an array of (new) ideas not based on 20th century thinking!!

No eating or drinking before bedtime, it makes me feel bloated. Listen to some soothing music or watch something on TV that can make you nod off. Lol!!!!

Absolutely NOT compulsory. The flu vaccination system works without being compulsory - why should anything else change this procedure. Malaria kills millions of children per year too and measles is much more contagious. There is much to consider.

I live in a rural area and absolutely love it. Rail - hmmm - what rail??? - We used to have one in Cowra, NSW, but the government decided to close it because it was not making enough money. Same thing happened with the airport. Now the only way people can get here is by train to Bathurst and bus the rest of the way, or you can drive the four hour drive. With due respect to Council, they need to try and get our train lines open again.

Although this year was terrible for many who have lost their lives but we will cheer those who have overcome their adversity & are here to celebrate the New Year with some trepidation but also hope that we will become stronger & more caring for our family,friends and neighbours

I'm afraid I don't have very much luck with the machines, they don't seem to even what to take my money! You can hear the machines moaning when I walk up to them! And yeah, agree with David S, jobs being eroded.

It's sad that this question implies that dieting is normal - please love yourselves and don't fall into the trap of thinking that you need to be any kind of preferred 'normal' whether that be big, small or any combination of body shapes. When you die the only thing that matters is who you were which shouldn't be defined by appearance. Just aim for the kind of healthy that allows you the freedom to do the tasks you need to, have enough energy to get the job done and enough love and mental peace for those who mean the most.

wonder when they gonna make a drama queen badge, \ud83e\udd23

A quick solution might be to stop using Facebook perhaps?....it is strange...people talk about social media a lot...but it is nearly ALL negative...and people still use it .....

Recipe is missing sugar? Rewardia should check these things ,ingredients are expensive .. if the author has not provided full recipe then please ask them to resubmit . Most people can work this out for themselves but others wanting to have a go at a nice little recipe would be dissatisfied in the result.

I like the pay attn questions best. If a plane crashes on the birder between the US and Canada, where do they bury the survivors? A: You do not bury survivors. If a rooster lays an egg on the top of a steep hill, which side of the hill will the egg roll down? A: Rooster do not lay eggs. A traveler reaches a church beside a river. There is no ferry boat and no bridge so does he manage to cross the water? A: He goes into the church and borrows 'a cross' to get 'across' the river.

You can't have it both ways. All this lower petrol prices by using tax dollars is the reason why our roads are in need of repair. Where do you think the Govt got the money in the first place to lower prices?...from their own bank accounts? No, they got from the fund to fix and maintain roads. That is why they can only do it for short periods at a time. AND it's the reason why they stop doing it because it's time to focus back onto maintaining roads.

Was very good when Rewarda was new. Are one of the first to join. Surveys are not as good now. Their quality has gone down. So many have issues with the surveys. Im luckly i iam for 1000 each day enough to mantain my Platnuim Status. Almost had that level every month. And im one of the few who have passed 2 million points. Next month 3million points with just one $50 cashout.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I am a vegetarian. I will give your recipe a try (with some minor adjustments to satisfy my taste buds :-)). BTW your recipe reads delicious (River).

I filled up on the day the Iran war broke out and don't drive much but the price of 91 in South Australia is around $2.40 I think and the next fill up will be with clenched teeth! You fuel in NZ is very expensive KittyK, in February ours was around $1.59.

Merry Christmas every one, let's hope there is more compassion and love in the world in 2026. Have a great time no matter where you are and with what you have planned for the festive season, Good luck, stay calm and enjoy good foods with family and friends.

I like the older cars with manual transmissions and wind down windows which are plus for safety. If you break down you can push the car and even push start it. If you go into water you can wind the windows down and get out not so in electric cars etc. There is so much going on in the new cars that it is distracting the drivers.

I never thought I looked like Mum really ... but never forget once in a shopping centre a couple years ago ... a lady stopped me and said "You are ........'s daughter" Complete stranger.

Aaaw..Let's not be too hard on Rebecca...it's obvious she meant mince meat...not mice meat. This looks like a quick and easy meal.

I see Thomas is at the top of the leader board for Hexagon fall...just wondering how many points you accumulated? I am sitting at no.5 and for my top scoring game I only got 2 points! Hardly worth the effort. The Find Me game seems to cheat...I click on the man multiple times before it finally registers and then only ever seem to get 2 points.

I love most seafood but do not like oysters. The appearance of them and the texture is revolting. Yet many people seem to think they're marvellous. I also think kangaroo is disgusting too. Plenty fellow Aussies seem to think it's marvellous, but to me it smells and tastes like it's off.

I completed the same survey too tonight. Surprised to see a new colour. Also, my survey list has been spammed by Purple surveys today. All 20 of them, none are accessible - either saying you already attempted the survey or you have been screened out. Yet the surveys won't disappear, just sit there looking pretty.

In general I have found most In Laws are what you make them. I have seen MIL's that have been very pushy ..... but you just have to set boundries. If your In Laws are doing something you are not happy with - be honest AND TELL THEM (politely). Something like "I appreciate what you are saying ... but these are my kids - my rules". If a MIL is to cut your child's hair without FIRST checking with you - I can assure you she would NOT DO IT TWICE in my house. She would get very cool treatment from me. I do agree that it is often a MIL who is not happy about who her son has chosen..... a very stupid woman I say.

My whole family were fans of the "Vera" series. I've seen some of them again recently and found them much more "real" than any of the new cop series. Seems just like what has happened to the ABC. They take away more and more of their funding and they can't afford good writers and actors to play them. My brother-in-law still chortles over " Fawlty Towers", and "Life of Brian" endlessly.

You know Aussies and Americans have very different ways of saying things. Constantly am I confronted with a word I'd have no way of knowing in which context you are using it in......like Plugger. Lol

Next someone will be selling eco friendly leaves you can use and throw outside when you're done :). They clean you and can be used as fertilizer, good for the garden.

ohhhh so many many noises...except my own loud music haha. Hate people coughing and sneezing these day- not sure why??? Hate hearing my dog swallowing noisily in the night, or noisily licking nethers eww. Hate hate noisy boy racers revving down our street late at night and doing wheelies at the roundabouts. Though i would probably be one of them if i was young and a lad. And there's more...HATE the sounds of those Gunshot firecrackers that people let off..that freak us and our animals out. Hubby hates the sound of his neighbour howling..yes howling. And the guy who power saws bits of wood for hours in the nearby workshop. He turned up on a sunday once to cut wood- until a certain man in tank chair zoomed over and gesticulated at him to F.O.

I admit, I have a smoothie nearly every morning for breakfast. I often have a quiche or peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and meat and vegies for dinner, (about 3 x a week) I recently read the Whole meal Bread with Smooth peanut butter, No sugar/salt, actually helps your weight and digestion when eaten before bed. So that's my new favorite bedtime snack. It seems to help. Ive been dieting for 6 months. I lost 25 kgs but am a bit stuck for loosing the last 20-15 kgs. In the last month, Ive gone back up 1 kg...grrr... AnY tips? Im trying to Eat Less and Move More.

I've done it. And if you truly love people and want to help someone who isn't old enough to speak up for themselves, I recommend you do it as well. I grew up in a home where my parents nearly always had 1-3 foster children sharing our lives. We learned as children that fosters come and go, but we were able to adopt 2 of the boys. They are my brothers through and through. The girls that I fostered were being abused, both 16 years old. One was being beaten regularly by her mother and stabbed once, the other was being raped by her mother's live-in boyfriend. The time with them was only a few months each but it was enough to let them know there are good people in the world and both changed into good people themselves. One has a lovely family and the other is a veterinary technician. Both are happy:) I very highly recommend fostering if you honestly feel your heart wanting to help. You don't get much financially, but you get loads in return emotionally. As much as you know they will most likely be leaving your home at some point, each and every one of them stay in your heart forever. You love with all purity of intentions and build them up and show them good in their world. You will make a positive difference for each child.

I was wondering where you went :) I also like metal, so found this metal cover....Rocio, Sweet Dreams: https://youtu.be/78Mh3hIh0I8?si=hB-BbTB3C1Lh4LTV

Tell them that whilst you were preparing dinner you tested it for taste and now you feel ill! \ud83e\udd74

The problem is you americans are under the delusion that you think your country is the greatest thing on this planet when in fact most of the world generally dislikes your country and what it stands for and finds most of you very irritating and quite honestly I couldnt give a rats arse if your country dissolves into anarchy

My friends jealous because my puppy is better looking than hers .. we are both still besties and always will be ..

I'm 57. Both my parents worked. Neither had CEO wages. I went to pre school as soon as I was old enough. My grandparents didn't babysit because they lived too far away. I'm tired of people whining about lack of money. If you get your priorities right there's no reason why you can't live and save on two incomes. It's been done for decades. Society today spends too much on new cars, TV subscriptions, mobile phones. Inet plans, tatoos and false nails! To name a few! Learn the difference between wants and needs!

Oooops! Grandpa may be getting over the hill there! I've heard of MAP (minor attracted person), but it seemed too filthy for my frame of mind to read any further.

Christmas time to me is all about giving not receiving. If you really want to give a gift donate a child's toys under the Kmart tree for a child in need. Or perhaps donate an amount that you can afford to charity.

I overtook a guy 2 days ago and he obviously didn't like being overtaken by a woman because he rammed his car into mine and ran me off the road! I guess it's not technically an accident as he did it on purpose.

i think there is more drugs than ever and the way things are going we will have a lot of Zombies in the future

sorry this one in a lot list of where Rewardia could have added another word to make the title make sense (no offense Blunder)..it should be their job to fix these easy problems..it's happened me too..its not necessary and embarrasing ..nobody home?

Did shift work for 41 years and loved it but the toll was high. Almost permanent fatigue, it\u2019s taken 8 years for my blood pressure to finally come down. I\u2019ve got the balance right now, work 0% life 100%\u2026..lol

Stay away from work so I don't spread it! Anyway I usually have the flu vaccination so it would be unusual for me to get the flu.

A friendly smile on entering or if they are busy when you do ,then an acknowledgement that you are instore at some stage of the game is always welcomed! Can't stand indifferent rude staff.

I have not been out for 'lunch', since December of 2019 (when Covid19 first made its ugly appearance in USA). Officially, Covid19 is over in USA. Unofficially, Covid19 - finished in fourth place (2022) in number of Americans killed by a disease (aka a virus) - last year. I still see people who are wearing mask - in public. I am still wearing a mask - in public - because hundreds of people are still dying from Covid19 on a daily basis in USA. I have a SEVERE IMPAIRED IMMUNE SYSTEM - WHICH LEADS ME OPEN TO CATCHING COVID19 WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES FOR ME. I have not been in a restaurant (any type of restaurant) for almost four years and I do not see myself going into a restaurant (anytime soon) - until Covid19 is effecting less than one percent of the population in USA!

Governments printing money (called monetisation) is not a great idea. There are examples of how bad it is. By monetising debt, the government uses inflation to finance some of its spending. Although monetisation has more disadvantages generally than it has advantages, there is a case for some cautious monetisation to take place to help economies recover from the coronavirus pandemic. The challenge will be make sure inflation does not get out of control, as it did in Germany following the First World War, when the then German government indiscriminately printed money. Many historical commentators consider this helped the Nazis gain power.

I don't know I'm not Catholic. We bless babies in our church. Is a christening, giving a baby a blessing? I think it's wonderful to give babies spiritual blessings. :)

Maybe he was trying to print in colour but it only prints black \ud83e\udd23. How many eggs have you consumed thus far Mary?

\u2026 there were absolutely no red surveys left, at all. What is a person supposed to do now? Perhaps I\u2019ll have a cup of tea, a BEX and a good lay down\u2026.. Now the bloody phone is ringing AND there\u2019s someone at the door. Oh! It\u2019s\u2026\u2026

What’s the point of wanting a movie made of a book you have already read, you already know the plot, know how it ends and know that it will never be as good as your imagination made it when you read it… Of course if you have dementia then that would excuse some people I guess..

Of course teen of all ages need curfews. School nights especially. Nothing good ever happens after midnight still applies today.

Scribe ! sorry A , cover thine ears it is new age stuff .. https://youtu.be/OkgMt9BVsvQ (easy beats tho :) )

No problem recently I had to speak at my fathers funeral, it was no problem but because I was crying I could not read my words but managed to remember most

Nothing.. I don’t even own an iron! I used to do ironing as a kid as part of chores but I wash, hang on line, fold and put away, I don’t have creased clothes either so don’t see need to waste my time ironing,, would rather use that time more productively!

our vet charged $110 call out fee, and a 120 $ fee for travel...to see our old dog when it was too hot to transport her in the car....bit rich really

I have come up with a few myself and this one in particular has amused quite a few kindred spirits: "In my garden most things grow.Mostly things I didn't sow!"Some of you may have heard me sigh about this a few times and know what I mean!

Funerals are for the living, not the dead. I came into the world with no fanfare, and intend to leave the same way. The only winners out of funerals are undertakers, florists, printers, vicars and caterers. But if somebody wants to, as the ashes go over the side, play The Streets of London. on a cheap trannie /tape recorder will do.

does shaky pudding on top of a laptop on a desk constitute falling in love online?,, if so,, yes, hi Liane, yes it is i, the wandering vagabond on return,, but i been looking around, and it seems that you and Mary have been passing out mushrooms to all the participants in our club,, strange shyt going on, people's names changing, A has the covid, Brad has changed his name folks disappearing, well i did that twice, once rewardia's fault ,and the 2nd time was my fault,, so lemme know if i fell in love online or not, laptop was on, had internet connectin

Alison Holst recipe makes the best citrus slice - loved by all. It's my mums book so don't have name of it. Go to Mac n cheese is from Brian Lagerstrom. It's lighter than the traditional rue recipes and is very quick to prepare - YouTube 10 min Mac n cheese Brian Lagerstrom. Tahini choc chip cookies from David Lebovits - best cookies I've ever made, such a good recipe. His lemon cake is a crowd pleaser too. Highly recommend any of his recipes.

Yep- got one for my daughter at her fave Beauty Salon where she gets all her nails, hair, lashes things done. So different from her mummy at same age.

I'm almost 58 and my dad is 83 years old. I was emailing him on Monday and I told him how sorry I was that it was a very difficult day for him. You see it would have been my brother's 56th birthday except that he died 3 years ago in a car crash. As it was just my mum, dad, brother and myself growing up it is now only my dad and I who survive today as my mother passed away nearly 20 years ago. He said to me "Michelle, every day is a memory day". I told him that I'm finally old enough to understand that each day you find yourself reflecting on memories from the good, the bad and the ugly things that you've experienced in life and I find myself starting to play the "what if" game! What if I hadn't gone out to the disco and met the man who would have become my husband and the father of my children when I was supposed to be staying at a friend's house and not going out at all or what if I had been content to stay at the house my family had been living in, paid that mortgage off and reduced my full-time work to part-time and stayed home more often with my kids, instead of insisting that we renovate the home that I had inherited 75% of which was really my dream to do and to honour the memory of the ladies who gave it to me, but ultimately led to my husband going off with another woman he met while I was at work doing night shifts as an RN and then led to me ultimately having to walk away from and go bankrupt. I could do this all day but the nights are the worst. I don't think when I was younger that I could perceive of me at 57, hardly able to walk, with very little money and without an ability to do the things I used to love, including my job, and existing in constant pain. THIS me was abstract like a Picasso and bore no resemblance to who I am today and I think that we all reach a point in our lives where we can reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly and some of us can find peace in that, but I look back on my life, on my kids and EVERYTHING else and I ABSOLUTELY wish, with ALL my heart, that I hadn't ever been born! Thanks for reading.

Well, Nancy, whatever is hittin you hard right now, I'm very sorry you are going through such turmoil. I'm Christian too and the only place real peace and coping comes from is our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ. Christ knows your heart and situation because He knows you intimately and there is a reason behind what you're going through. You've got to keep praying and putting one foot in front of the other and cry and let your pain out that way if it helps. I'm going through incredibly tough times too, so I can empathize with you and feeling like you have nowhere to turn and that your burdens are too heavy. My husband is young and term ill. He's dying before my eyes, my sweet loving husband who is a wonderful man, which is hard to find these days... but that's beside the point. I just can't stand the thought of losing him soon and the wrenching my heart will go through. I have a severe debilitating disability myself and it's difficult to care for him when I'm having such a hard time. But it is a privilege to care for him and have the little time I do have left. Just remember that you are not alone. There are people in your life that I know must love and care about you immensely and don't want to see you suffer. Try to put good things, (books, movies, positive talk) into your head so you are feeding your soul positivity and not negativity. Stay close to your God. He's there, I know He is. I wish there was a magical answer to going through tough times, but really there isn't. I only know what I try to do to help myself through mine. I find that focusing on other people and doing acts of service for others always helps me to feel better and focus on others who are hurting too. I will remember your name and what you've written here and include you in my daily quiet time that I take to talk to my Heavenly Father. I don't know you, except what you wrote, but I assure you, your Heavenly Father sure does. I am your sister in life. Please know you are loved. Peace and clarity be yours.

Are you having a day off? there was a bit of drama on the bongo page ...I didn't have anything to do with it...well not directly...but it was a lot of fun....and I got told off for joining in...as you can imagine..I am deeply shocked....what me?

I would have to assume that you don’t have to tip a robot..(unless you get bad service and decide to tip it over..)

I love watching The Chase Australia and enjoy testing my own knowledge to the questions presented and am estatic if the contestants win their overall game.

I wish Robin Williams was still around, just to hear him say "Good morning Austraaaaaliiiaaaa!!! But seriously the world is not looking great at the moment. At least the news has something else to talk about other than climate change

Great topic Liane :) Great laff at the 7 teeth. Just slippin' this song in as i used to make words up for bits i couldn't quite get.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciS5krYL80 and Rains in Africa by Toto- i used to ad lib that one quite a bit. Hubby has some trippy speakers these days and i can pick up lyrics i used to never know :)

Sounds good if you can afford to, better work life balance, but production is directly linked to inflation, less production, higher inflation. Can you imagine , its hard enough as it is now, its been shown that lower production has caused many a countries into dire situations

What is Book Tok? I'm afraid those of us who are of older generations don't understand the modern terms that are used. I love books and reading though , and while I prefer real tangible books I will also read Kindle.

There are safety issues too in the event of crash...I was told that the power supply needs to be disabled before trapped people can be cut out of electric vehicles...and I haven't forgotten the "smart" Tesla whose door failed to open when it hit a tree....everyone present had to watch the poor Doctor inside burn to death....my petrol driven car uses less fuel than a hybrid...might be worth waiting for a hydrogen powered car?...Hyundai already make them....or cold fusion? ...GREAT SCOTT!!!

I lived in the country and I was not happier. Anytime we had any type of medical problem we had to travel for an hour for treatment. Anytime we wanted to shop in a large store we had to travel for an hour. Our fuel cost more as did many other things due to transport. We had 2 TV stations and one local radio station. There were far more drugs around than we ever saw in the big smoke and our children got a better education and better jobs. Even 20 years later our friends who remained there still had to travel for some medical appointments. The only thing we did miss was the beach and stopped going once we had moved. Far too many people at suburban beaches.

Yes it is bad for your health but it has superior cooking qualities. Cast iron is the safest of all the metals if you're not prone to overdosing on Iron so it's great for women of reproductive age and growing children (due to needing extra iron) but not so great for men. The most inert material you can cook with is soda lime glass or borosilicate glass. Stay away from leaded glasses which leach lead.

Soon as they were invented they became adult toys. Kids don’t suddenly wake up one morning and say “I think I’m going to invent a game.

It is disgusting how many people are trying to scam others out of money on social media. Remember : If it sounds too good to be true...it probably isn't true!

What pisses me off is when I finish the survey and I am not given my due points. Then get the excuse of not have finished the survey which is not true. I feel like giving up rewardia.

When I suggested this topic it was ignored. Perhaps it was the way I framed it. I am a cat person and while I have had dogs it's cats I can't live without. My 16 year old lady left us last September so I now only have 5 boys. They are all rescues so come with health problems but I love them, not like children but family members who are animals. My one rule is that they don't have human names, and I never use the same name twice, the name also has to suit the personality. All 5 have long fur which annoys my husband as he feels they shed, they don't really as they usually leave it on chairs or clothing. I have always had at least one cat other than when I lived overseas. All of the cats has it's own personality and all 5 own me. They are neurotic, bossy, fussy but love unconditionally and get very annoyed if we go away for any reason. They are very independent, dogs are far too needy for my liking, but they know if I'm not feeling well and will stay with me even if they have to hiss and growl at anyone that attempts to get closer. They help me garden, they always want to go with me when I walk and will hide so that I can't see them until they get frightened by a car or dog and I hear them crying. I had to carry one home from almost a block away one day and the bus scared him so much he almost got away from me. They are sticky beaks who have to know where I am at all times. They help me when I'm sewing or making the bed, oh that's great fun, they also enjoy a feather duster, getting into drawers, cupboards and washing baskets. I was missing one once and looked everywhere for him but I was pretty sure he hadn't left home. The following morning I turned the dryer on to air my towels and I heard a loud banging and when I looked his little face was looking through the dryer door at me. He had gotten in while I left the dryer open as I took the towels off the clothesline the previous afternoon. I hugged him so hard as it could have ended quite badly and he was very forgiving but hungry. Ny eldest son keeps birds and doesn't like cats, he says they are sneaky, my daughter has no pets but prefers dogs while my youngest son must take after me and has 5 cats. My grandchildren call me the crazy cat lady but they all love my cats. The feeling sadly is not reciprocated.

Really ? Bill Cosby, O.J.Simpson, Martha Stewart, Harvey Weinstein, Oscar Pistorious, Robert Hughes, Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris and I could go on. I know people raise these topics for the points but come on. Put some thought into it.

We had a brand new house we rented to a couple with 2 children for 4 years while we did our trip around Australia and I would never rent any thing again. The amount the real estate said was normal wear and tear was just total BS. Who can blow up an oven in 4 years? Tried to fix the water tank after their puppy chewed the wires, totally failed to any way. So with short term rentals I think the damage could be worse and I would never do that because there is no respect for other peoples belongings. Use and abuse then some of the better tenants are tarred with the same brush. Like most things there is always some one whom will spoil it for every one else. I read about a couple with 2 children and another on the way having to live in a tent because there aren't any rentals available in their area. It's sad and temporary housing needs to be arranged for these people. As much as I wouldn't rent any thing again surely there are others that would. Some are selling up as interest rates rise and this will only add to the problem but then a first home buyer gets a chance to buy. Rent is dead money so if the younger ones can buy it is better but then are they still going to be around that area in 3 or 4 years? It's a hard one that is for sure.
