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

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!

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 :) )

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.

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

I just got a partial upper plate but wasn't ready for the lack of taste and texture. Not having the food on your palate takes that. You still taste, but it's not as intense. I actually cried when they told me. So I understand your hesitancy. The one question I'll ask is; Is it necessary for you to eat properly and still have healthy gums and teeth? If so, keep your teeth for as long as possible,

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.

Sadly there are so many secrets kept that some of us got intrigued too delve deeper then we find out things we didn't really want too know bit were maybe always suspect about

I wait for the government to give back some of the money they rip off us for taxes,road tolls etc but can’t see it happening

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.

I don't understand why Elon and Twitter is such a big deal. Not to sound condescending but the majority of the world don't actually care about Twitter. On a side note: Notice how almost every time Elon is reported on in the news etc he is either doing some very silly dance or pulling a weird face when they show footage of him? Doesn't matter what channel. Does the media feel threatened by him or something?

It’s my own idea to follow like a sheep, in fact I love sheep, slow roasted with duck fat potatoes and green beans…..lol

It would be okay if you could choose to have four VERY SMALL bins. Otherwise I’ll have no backyard left. Living on my own, it takes me months fill a large council bin, and I resent the large bins taking up so much space.

You are not strange. We are all on the spectrum. Some a little crazy, others totally nuts. It only becomes a problem when it leads to dysfunction in your life. Labeling oneself can be detrimental because it is limiting. They are designed so professional people can group a set of behaviours easily. Do not take it seriously unless it becomes debilitating. Remember all these little quirks and traits make up the unique person you are.

The very least that should occur is a total ban t v advertising during the hours that children watch t v

So long as Governments, politicians and self-styled Do-Gooders who think they know better than everyone else stay out of the way and keep their mouths shut we have all the freedom we need. Abolish Political Correctness, allow people to think and say what they really think. Abolish the Greatest Curse ever visited upon Human beings: Religion - at least Religion as it is today which has been bastardized again by people who think they know better than everyone else, who deliberately misinterpret and selectively use parts of books such as the Bible, the Koran etc. to persecute others who don't agree with them.

I have accepted many stray cats over the years. They keep me sane, make me laugh and have different personalities. They have different mannerisms and like a variety of music.One I have at the moment loves Mick Jagger singing the blues lol The other one I have to sing his favourite song as HE tucks the sheet under MY chin. Only then he will roll over and go to sleep (bossy bum Maine Coon) LOL I also feed the local crows that have learnt to yell out to me at the front door when they are ready to eat lol I have had to bury many animals which is heart breaking but I wouldn't have missed a day being with any of them. They have given me far more than I gave them.

I slip, slip, slap. Spent most of my life in Nth Queensland & have a certain amount of tan that is permanent. If you're going to lay or be in the sun try not to do it between 11 & 2. A certain amount of sun each day with SPF is healthy, a particular level of brown isn't.

give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, give him a fishing line and he feeds himself forever...hand up not hand out

As long as the child does his or her own homework. Often I found parents had done the homework for the child, and what is the point of that. Homework is a valuable way to practice skills learned in class. If the child can't do the homework, the parent should inform the teacher so those skills can be revised until the child is able to do the work independently. Also, I agree that excessive homework is not good - a maximum of half an hour should be long enough for primary school students.

I just want to know why they have to put all these weird things in our foods! Seems like we are all guinea pigs.

I am alone and have depression and anxiety and no family. I do what I want when I want, but that doesn't fit into society. I might go to bed at 10 p.m. or 5 a.m. and sleep most of the day. I try to get my meds on time and eat once in a while. I hate routines. They were not made for me, but my counselors have been fighting me for years to get into a routine. If I'm happy, the world will have to adjust to MY schedule!

I do not believe in that at all. You can be attracted to their looks but love is a totally different measure.

it sounds that some states don't have the flashing amber to warn the drivers that the lights will be changing to amber so they can start to slow down before you get to the intersection and these days every set of lights have cameras, and red lights regardless to the situation a fine will be issued

We need to bring back the Technical Colleges we used to have that taught young people who preferred to work with their hands parallel with High Schools where young people's capabilities belong in the academic arena. Australia should be concentrating on advancing the schooling needs of our own young people and not investing in the education of overseas students who either go back and take their knowledge to their own country or stay and soak up the employment here leaving our qualified brilliant young people to what? Go on the pathetic dole and be labelled "dole bludgers". We need to think smart, act smart and we will have our own smarter home grown workforce. Keep it simple and keep it here.

Didn't someone once say "the law is an ass"? A very simple statement but there is no simple solution when it comes to broken families. Everyone gets battle fatigue going through the process and children get more and more confused by the to and fro state of affairs and sometimes even thinking that they are the cause of it all.

We don't need ANY Olympics. Waste of time and money. If athletes consder this their job, then they can PAY to go to work like everyone else. If the International Olympic Committee want to have one, then they should PAY to set up a site dedicated to it and just hold it there forever, like a corporate headquarters. IOC is only interested in bribes. Why should countries have to bid for it? Where does this bid money go (backpockets of IOC along with any other bribes paid to them)

The Bible says that when you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life you have no need to worry about anything for God said that he will take care of us.so what if china takes over the world. My God is in control. my God will never leave me nor forsake me. My future is in my God. and without him I have no future. if you want to know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour Prayer this simple prayer Lord Jesus I ask that you be my Lord and Saviour come into my life and be my King. Acknowledge: We have sinned - Romans 3.23, Luke 18.13 Repent: Repent of Perish - Luke 13.3, Acts 3.19 Confess: Jesus is Lord - 1 John 1.9, Romans 10.9 Forsake: Forsake your sins - Isaiah55.7 Believe: Believe and be saved - John 3.16, Mark16.16 Receive: All who receive Him are his children - John 1.11,12 Attend a Church: Find a Faith filled Church.

I believe it is a waste of money. I know someone who spends $30 a week and others even more. Calculate that over a year and that could go towards a holiday or something you might need in the house. I prefer to work for what I have and manage my own expenses. Sometimes money can bring more issues than it is worth.

just relax matey as we say in Oz she'll be right mate................. And surprisingly it often is !

I think that less funding should be given to private schools and hospitals should have adequate equipment and hospital beds especially when COVID-19 is still an issue. And having a degree can't guarantee you a job. I wish that the government would offer free courses for people who are struggling to get jobs.

Zing, clearly the thing passed on down through your family is the use of the apostrophe when it's not necessary.. in every case above it's wrongly used and the word you're should be your in both cases. Grommie, the phantom proofreader strikes AGAIN.

I had a flu and was cough and can't to work in the pass. I had a boss them made to take to management why i was sick they tell me you needed to go to work. So my father made each time go to work. My father point if don't believe you them go to work. I was coughall day in front of peoples did they say go home. No. Tell i said i sick them made me go to doctor get sicking. My father was sick they made go to work if didn't were out of job in crutches. Tell this day i go sick. I came once 1 day before sicking over put in boss office say not sick this days but was made me cry. My sister is sick boss make go to work she cough didn't send home no made go to work next day. They is one at work get 100 or more a years sicking plus holiday. Noone say nothing. Always one rule one and others as well. Law be if don't take sicks be pay out.

The top three tennis players should have been treated the same as the rest. I agree the top players do have greater bargaining powers but the government shouldn't have allowed it to happen.

Being a passenger in a car when the drivers going alongside a semi trailer, talk about shake rattle and roll.

Neither my children nor my grandchildren went into care. When needed, my children were looked after by my parents. When needed, my grandchildren are looked after by me. Just recently my grandchildren told me that when I can't look after myself I will be going to live with them. I thanked them and said we will discuss that when the time comes.

I joined the Heart Foundation walking group in my local area in late December so i am ready for my first early morning weekly walk on 7 December. Yep, not go overboard but definitely take the steps I should have taken years ago to slow down the decline that comes with old age.

Of course money buys Justice. Money can buy anything, anybody & power & that includes the Police, Magistrates, Juidges, Politicians. How often have we heard an accused person being treated with kid gloves because if the "reputation" - that simply menas they have money to buy their freedom.. If you are poor you haven't a hope in hell of getting Justice. Just look at how some of the Wealthiest Organisations in the World, such as the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Islamic, Jewish religious businesses got away with so much Child Sex Abuse until the outcry from the Public became too loud to ignore. They were all responsible for covering-up and protecting 1000s of paedophiles and they were also responsible for "Murder from a distance" - some call it Suicide, the 10s of thousands of lives they destroyed and they asll got away with it because those orgnaisations had the money to buy protection starting with the Police and then all the way up to the highest courts in the country.

I have not had an alcohol drink in over a year. As I have coeliac disease I am reluctant to have any thing. I do feel like some now and again but walking the dog helps to relax me so I do not need alcohol. $600 is a lot of money on alcohol. You could save that money and when lock down eases you could go on holiday. I also feel that the preservative in alcohol is not good for our body.

I do not dwell on it. I go about my house and do opinion polls, watch a bit of TV, take my dog for a walk, housework, etc. What's different. Never been all that social so I don't miss that. All these people who are treating this virus as nothing though make me angry. It's not a conspiracy, it's nothing to do with 5G, it's not made up, I am from another culture so don't understand, and worse the ones who think they can do what they want. I get angry at the ones who think they are beyond the rules and actually spread the virus to innocent people who have been doing the right thing. We have it here in Queensland again and it looks like it has spread from a few people who thought they could do as they please lying and crossing the border after leaving Victoria. Personally, I feel now as there is plenty of information out there and if people flaunt the rules and people get sick or worse die they should be made accountable with heavy fines, jail and charges of murder in the case of a death linked back to t

JuJu I agree with you. I very much doubt if any of them are wool either. In the case of a fire good quality wool won't burn - or not quickly anyway. If you put a plastic toy box close to any synthetic it will melt onto your carpet much quicker. One of our neighbours had to replace carpet for that reason.

I believe you can boil eggs (in shells) and freeze them for later use, e.g. slice and "fry". Do you freeze them with shell on or do you shell it before freezing in an airtight container or special freezer bag

Cost of living isn't an issue for me because I spent years working in production kitchens preparing meals. Food production itself is easy and low cost. No need for the flashiness you see on cooking shows. \ud83c\udf7b

Here we go again... Anti-German sentiment created "Clive built vs Jerry built" but in reality, German engineering was better. Made in Japan was a slur created by Americans because NOTHING can be better than US built or produced but, again Japanese products are better. Made in Taiwan was also a slur for "poorly built and manufactured" and I must tell you that many high end components of everything that is manufactured actually comes from there. Today's slur is obviously "Made in China" but if you went there, you would have your eyes opened as they are way ahead in tech etc and have been for decades. Like every other place, all countries have good and bad products. All countries also get products and components from other countries or, indeed have other countries manufacture things on their behalf so does it really matter where the product is from? Dear Apple snobs, your phones are made in China. ROFL.

Music was very important back in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s...the people making it AND those who broadcasted it..sometimes at high risk...and those that were buying it thought (or hoped) that they could really change the world..but music's power has been quietly and successfully totally dismantled and then crushed...AND all of its important messages too...well done...no-one even noticed did they?...God save democracy...we are free...right?...so now we have empty and/or pointless vacuum of lyrics again...and now we only rent it...so they can withdraw a song if they don't like it....nice....what song? ...JUST like Russia...nothing past 1990 will be remembered...2001 is my cutoff point....and they will attempt to remove all signs of resistance....and wlll be successful..1984..."imagine a boot stamping on your face"...it makes me personally so angry...but hey enjoy......if you aren't interested in resistance .....they have won

I also cook corned beef silver-side in the slow cooker but cook it in a small bottle of ginger ale just make sure that there is enough ginger ale to cover the meat while cooking. And cook cauliflower and white sauce and mashed potatoes. It is one of my husbands favorite meals. I don't eat meat.

I eat 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal daily for the fiber, but I do add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 10-12 lightly salted roasted almonds, and a dash of cinnamon with 1/2 cup of milk! \ud83e\udd70

That sounds good! By coincidence, I was going to buy a can of creamed corn but then figured what would I do with it? This answers that question, so now I'll buy it.

It's cold out there in Sydney and hot chicken soup with french tarragon and onion will be just right!! . . . Thank you Liane

"Jest plain old inter sex jealousy". If you look back in history and we had been given the chance we might have helped with some of the messes men have made in the troubles and wars of yesteryear!

Not really, but I do love my black cats they make me happy\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\ude3b\ud83d\udc08\u200d\u2b1b

I quite often get \u2018oops! It\u2019s not you, it\u2019s us\u2019 and almost always at the end of the survey\ud83d\ude16. Time wasted and points lost. And, they have our information. High scoring surveys too, I might add!

Had both, don't care what sex so long as they are fair and have no favourites whose work I end up doing as well as my own.

There was a discussion on the radio the other day about kids "wanting" to do various activities, the parents paying for it, and then the kid quickly pulling out again ... sports, dancing, scouts / girl guides, horse riding, etc. Before paying any full term / year fees (often non-refundable because you're taking up a spot and the classes cannot start again to catch-up a later fill-in), you should find somewhere that either offers pay-per-lesson prices or even gives a free trial. That way you can find out if the kids *really* wants to do it or not before paying out huge piles of money.

It depends on things such as, are you working, do you have children under 18, how old are you? It never seems to be a realization that of those who do these surveys, many are at home due to health or age and therefore we can't answer the questions asked.

Don't get sucked in. It's a mind game. Your mind is the decider in the end, you decide to purchase that on a whim. Then the market wins because they got your money. I never impulse purchase, and It's like ads, I mute ads so I do not buy into that crap

I don't have children. Don't know if men go thru psychologically and physically changes when they become a parent! However, the articles I have read (written by scientists) state that "Gay Parents May Be the Best Parents". Gay parents tend to be more motivated, more committed than heterosexual parents on the average, because gay parents chose to be (come) PARENTS.

No. There are too many laws now giving preference to everyone. We are all equal & should have equal rights.

We moved to a rural property - a year ago tomorrow, actually - and since then I have grown potatoes, kumara (sweet potatoes for those outside NZ), NZ yams, carrots, cauli, broccoli, capsicums, corn, onions (red and brown), spring onions, pumpkins, beans, snowpeas (mange tout), leeks, cabbages (red and savoy), spinach, silverbeet, swede, daikon radish, beetroot, garlic, rhubarb, courgettes (zucchini), several varieties of tomatoes and herbs and attempted eggplant (aubergine) but was unsuccessful with those as I planted them too late in the season. We have also harvested feijoas, lemons, limes, mandarins and peaches from trees that were already established on the property. We also have chickens for eggs. I have made several batches of pasta sauce, tomato relish, peach jam, onion marmalade and feijoa chutney. I also make my own Irish soda bread, naan bread and focaccia. We are loving the flavours of fruit and veges fresh from the garden and are looking to add more gardens so we can grow more produce.

I find the same thing on some surveys where they have faint words on white background. Black and white is best. Even some pages in the paper are the same.

You don\u2019t say why you need your own transportation. There may be a lot more going on at the company than just getting there.

Live every day like it is going to be your last day above ground, because at some unknown point - it is going to be your last day above ground!

I married and didn't change my last name. I keep my father last name and i am happy. My husband understood why i keep my last name is my father. In the end a last name is just a name. If you want to change or not its up to boths.

Too many apartment buildings going up in our area. We are close to the city and now the lovely old houses that are on larger blocks being torn down to replace with ugly apartment buildings. They will never last as long as these houses have and what is even harder to take is that all the lovely old trees are being cut down. It will soon be a concrete jungle. These buildings de-humanise the area and within a short time look dirty and shabby.

In a good month I might get around $90 which is around $3 a day. Looks like the person was trying to get people to sign up with his link so he could earn referral points. That would be why he removed it because Rewardia would be able to track who it was by the referral link.

This is a common theme throughout history: elderly people think that youths are wayward, youths think that the elderly are grumpy, every generation seems to be worse than the last. But in the grand scheme of things youths are just being youths and act according to their influence and cultural norms. Here's some good quotes from a few old timers: Socrates: "Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.\u201d Plato: " No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education " So in a nutshell, youths are just behaving as they always have. But yes child upbringing is the most important for determining a child's character later in life so if you want good kids then you need to be the best role model for them and the best educator that you can be.

Covid-19 is here to stay just like the flu and pnumonia. There will always be NEW variants of the Covid-19 virus, some more deadlier and some less deadly. In Australia we are told that Omicron is less deadly, however over in the UK and USA some people have died from Omicron; but we must keep in mind there is only a small percentage of people vaccinated within those countries. In Australia, in NSW for several weeks they were averaging around 200 to 350 new Covid cases each 24 hour period, suddenly they are getting over 2000 a day, then the day before yesterday they had over 3000 then yesterday close to 4000. The government is saying that by the end of January 2022 we could be averaging 200,000 a day Australia-wide ( worse than the UK and USA ). With International borders now open, all state borders now open ( except West Australia ) the Omicron is without no doubt going to spread across Australia like wild fire especially now that NSW and Victoria are not enforcing mask wearing and social distancing and NSW not enforcing use of QR codes and these states refusing to go back into lockdown to get it under control because Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg are more concerned about the economy. Covid-19 is a virus that continuously changes it's DNA each time it transmits to each person and continues to grow stronger and more contagious. As it changes each time it transmits from person to person, this means that countries that have higher numbers of infections each day are creating NEW strains of the Covid-19 virus. Every country needs to minimise the spread to minimise or end the risks of new strains being created. IF this is not done soon then the Covid-19 virus will become so strong that disinfectent and vaccines will NOT protect us and within 20 years the Covid-19 virus will make the human race extinct. Although the 3rd vaccine booster shot is only providing 30% protection against Omicron, we ALL need to be fully vaccinated to give us at least some protection because Governments around the world are no longer taking steps to control or contain the virus because they are now all more concerned with the economy

That's very kind of you Mary thinking of those affected by the cyclone here in NZ luckily I live in the South Island where we were perfectly fine but it sure has brought back vivid memories of our own natural disaster here in Christchurch years ago so the entire NZ is feeling for those in the North :(

This one was definitely a nightmare...I ended up going back to live with my ex husband! I've had nothing to do with him for the last 25 years.

Judging from the number of ads and commercials featuring diamonds, I would have to say that diamonds are still the preferred choice for engagement rings.

I left him as soon as I found out that he was not really a girl. However I have to admit that he was the prettiest girl at the party.
