Have not tried the vapes. I use the 'under the counter' tobacco. All the tobacconists sell it. It's hit n miss for quality. Usually around $40 for 100gms which will last me a week. OZ govt tax makes 'brand' tobacco out of the question. And, as soon as I exit the store, the bums are lined up, give us a smoke, got a smoke, got spare $2. It's **** off from me everytime.

At my old home address I got fed up with huge amounts of weeds growing in the raised garden beds so I decided to cover them with weed mats, however under the weed mats I placed flattened cardboard boxes and a year later the weeds began growing back; so YES things do grow on them. However when I looked there was no cardboard boxes thee meaning they had ALL broken down and turned to soil

My sister is Coeliac when we go to a party she sometimes brings her own food or check the menu before we arrived at the restaurant so she knows what she wants.

Audra Mae and the forest rangers; forever young ' let it be me Ray La Montagne things we handed down Marc Cohn all great Sunday songs all regulars on my playlist in fact not sure if you have a spotify account but if you do look up pops top 100 covers there is hours of great tunes there it will keep your sunday laze easily

Yes and I cut them out of my life completely. We seem to be conditioned to cop this rubbish and look the other way etc. Not on. Some people are drama driven, others are using these tactics to keep you under their thumb with you thinking you can or should help them for some stupid reason. Life is too short to have to deal with these types of roller coaster relationships. Being on tender hooks waiting for the boom gates to drop and you have to appease them in some way. Cut and run...

No Thanks.Nothing could get me on a cruise ships as they are breeding grounds for germs and viruses and potetial death traps(Costa Concordia).Also you cannot choose your fellow travelllers and you are stuck with them fot the hole time.Not for me.

Why do most of the advertised lengths of surveys not reflect any accuracy. I have seen a 3 minute survey being 35 minutes when opened. Or some that say 160 minutes but end up being 15 minutes.

God, no!!!! Another BS scheme by the Governments, the Greenies etc. Whilst good in theory, it just doesn't work, the outlay is too much, damage not covered, lifetime is short. I have enough problems!!!

My teeth are falling to pieces and since we were scammed out of $53,500 things have been tough making ends meet, I have asked WINZ 3 times for help but they keep saying you have too much in the bank, we only have enough to cover the mortgage, power, rates etc but no help. If I go to the dentist the only place the money can come from is our food money so I am well and truly stuffed. But they can put people who play the system in emergency accommodation and pay $1,000 a week. Plus help them pay rent arrears and repairs for their last house they trashed!!

I too have noticed how many organisations are now asking me to turn on my webcam. I do not allow it especially as I was told by an IT specialist that even if you do not have it switched on you can still be seen by others. That scared the bejesus out of me.

Neither. My love was the best and we loved each other having 52 years of happy marriage before she died 13 years ago

Definately take a stand and demand more rights. My place of work has warned that if we unionize, we will be fired.

Now this is where I show my age. Let's start with Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs, Ray Columbus and The Invaders, Johnny O'Keefe and some I don't even remember, Johnny Devlin, Del Shannon, Sounds Incorporated, The Searchers, Lucky Starr, Lonnie lee, Dinah Lee, Roland Storm and I saw him again last year and he hadn't changed much at all, Neil Diamond and of course The Beatles. Little Pattie is in there as well, John Paul Young, Leo Sayer, Jon English, Renee Gayer, Wendy Matthews, Cotton, Keyes and Morris, The Beach Boys and Queen, in fact I feel my day was much better because there was The JOK show, Banstand, Surf City, The Good Guys lunchtime shows at Bebarfalds and a show on Saturday afternoons with Jimmy Hannon, it might have been called Saturday Date. There were live shows on everywhere in those days. I almost forgot Gilbert O'Sullivan and bread.

my old man's dog named "peka", and the horse named "paka " Those two were inseparable. when the old man passed away, I got to look after them, and they look after me. Paka fell into the hole and died of his injuries, I was heartbroken, and Peka did not want to leave the place where I burry Paka.she was so sad For two weeks, she stayed there.sadly she died of heartbroken. i burried her on the same spot, and planted acoconut tree on it, that coconut tree is still standing, 50years old coconut tree

It wasn't until I started work at the age of 15 years that I made a good friend. I was bullied all through school. Then I found a great job where I met my best friend and the people I worked with were fantastic. Then my dad decided we should emigrate to Australia from the UK and I left my friends and my beautiful dog behind. Don't get me wrong I mostly love Australia apart from the Government, I have been married since 1979, four wonderful daughters, four grandchildren and a greyhound who is now my best friend, companion and confidante, she never gossips.

My shoes were hurting me the other day and I had to sit down - then I saw the problem - I had them on the wrong feet! Couldn't stop laughing at myself.

Call 90 Day Fiancé!!!

love and still have the many items my sons, and now also grandkids have made for us through the years, especially 2 items our 2nd grandson made me 5 years ago, a wooden stool for the caravan which I still use in the kitchen to reach my top shelves, and a walking stick made from a tree branch, and it has come to be very handy since my fall and awaiting a knee replacement thank you Noah, when you gave it to me you said for when I get old, well that time has come

Same here so I have had to unsubscribe from a lot of businesses now because it has become too annoying,I mean I don't need 3-4 emails from the same company reminding me there is a big sale on in the one day,I am not stupid lol...But yes I do shop a lot online because it is more convenient although I will only shop with trusted companies now after being ripped off one too many times.

It doesn't matter where you live as there is always some risk. Weather is only one of the risks. Volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, rock falls, forest fires to name some things.

Have you noticed the decrease in weight and increase in price? Some frozen chips are 900g instead of 1kg. Biscuits have risen but the amount or size has dropped. Grow your own veges and you'll be surprised how much $$$ you save.

Take 20 litres of tap water, add a kilo of beer wort and a kilo of sugar, sprinkle a bit of yeast over it and wait a month, then bottle it... Then wait another month and drink it... Yes, tap water really does taste great..

How about a Vet joke? If you lock your dog and your partner in the boot of your car and leave it locked for for10 minutes. Guess who is pleased to see you when you let them out? Apologies everyone it's just my warped sense of humour.

We don't travel overseas at all, have our own Campervan, I always wanted to see my own country and we have seen a lot of it, and a lot more to go, Australia is so beautiful and such a diverse landscape, we are in wonderment all the time. No desire to travel overseas, especially since the pandemic.

Don't see how the effect is natural when it's not natural??? And I always find it amusing when people put on makeup to get a natural look! I don't understand why people put makeup on everyday. Wouldn't you want to do it on a special occasion so you look "Wow" and not your usual daily routine?

You have one or two friends from school. Then you meet lots of people at tafe, Uni, work etc. I think the best friend you can have is a cat or dog because they’re more loyal than humans!

I saw her across a field of clover. Our eyes met. She had the the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. She was only young but the look in her eyes was enough. They my father put her into the back of the truck with the rest of the heifers and drove them off to market. Such is life.

Let’s just be humans, in the end when will we learn & be one race, I guess we just need an alien invasion to realise who we are, Happiness within.

Weird - NO - Disturbing -Yes - Online Stalking??? - Most countries (except Australia) - this would be consider a CRIME???

I'm not going to say too much on this subject because enough has been said about it already but I will say that I agree with you Kimberly H.Yes a woman should be in charge of her own body but if you are in a relationship then the discussion of having children or not having children should be talked about between the both of you,not just one sided.If a woman who is single decides to not have children then that is her choice and her choice alone,no one should force her in to motherhood if she does not want to be a mother.I have a few friends who have never had children and they don't regret it.

I had to go into forced retirement due to a chronic injury and illness. I was lucky my late husband left me some money as I can't get any government benefits because I'm too young. My illness isn't recognised by centrelink so I do not get any money. I'd go back to work if it was possible.

2pts the 1st one

I wondered that too. I would also like to know why so many real words come up as 'unknown word'. I'd love to know which dictionary they have used.

I did not think advertising your business was allowed on sites like this and nor are referrals to other sites. Is this correct or incorrect?

I have some bottles of dehydrated water.....going cheap...$20 a bottle. Directions read....just add water...

Hi Kamana 1696768. My only substitute will be 'jackfruit' for chicken strips. Looking forward to trying this recipe (I love spaghetti - a type of pasta). Yummy. I appreciate the time and effort you put into submitting this recipe!

Electric vehicles are no better for the environment than normal petrol / diesel cars. In some ways electric vehicles are actually worse. Massive amounts of money is being wasted on the idea. \ud83d\ude41 Added to the problems are all the gadgets and gizmos (ebikes, escooters, mobile phones, tablets, "smart" this, AI that) which all need constant recharging, plus the enormous amounts of electricity to run the servers, as well as the materials need to make all those batteries. If you really want an enviromentally-friendly transport option, we should be using Flintstones-style vehicles ... stick your feet through the floor and run along the ground. \ud83d\ude09

I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe (THANKS)! I will substitute 70 g margarine cubed for 70 g butter cubed. I will try your recipe before the day is over (YUMMY)!

I will substitute 'seitan' for eight chicken drumsticks or four diced chicken breasts (vegetarian). I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe. Thanks!

This recipe always reminds me of the family dinner scene from the movie "The Castle"\ud83d\ude02 Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sylvia 165838. I have never heard of Indian Style Haka Noodle (not even a rumor :-))! I will try your recipe ASAP (since I am a hard-core-vegetarian). Furthermore, I appreciate the time you took to post your recipe (THANKS)!

You're not obligated to save a seat for her. Tell her you don't feel comfortable doing that since there's no assigned seating.

Hi liane, were you watching Masterchef Australia this evening? A highly sought after Malaysian Cook/Chef called Junta Khoo was on with a similar dish! I bet that your recipe is equally good and somewhat less fraught with danger to make! I will make this recipe and enjoy. Thank you.

Haven't had a good Rendang in a while . \ud83d\ude0b Love the little rice duckie:) Is it Topside beef ? I'm guessing hazelnuts instead of candlenuts as they are harder to find Matt Black ?

I am fascinated by the fact that you never see salmon marketed as "Pacific salmon" You always see "Atlantic salmon" sold but Pacific salmon is better. In general, wild-caught Pacific salmon is often considered healthier than Atlantic salmon, mainly due to its lower fat content, better fatty acid profile, and lower risk of contaminants.

I think we all get wildly different ads....I've never seen the one you are talking about...and you have probably never seen my boring ads either!

I've really got to cut the whiskey down in his eggnog next year she thought as she flurried along picking up scattered packages ...

because it makes life realistic, how many of you folks that are complaining about it swear/curse yourself in life, there is an off button

become a license, bondable, and professional house sitter at the local, regional, national, and international level

This is a problem that a lot of people have and I'm glad you brought it up.....use a fine needle to release any pressure in the packaging ...then gently remove the top of the packaging with a sharp scalpel....leaving the base and sides...then apply several layers of spray glue (hairspray can be used) and allow it to fully dry before counting..I find that usually works...(and of course when you have finished counting..you can spray them all over with glue and throw them at the walls...family members..and/or people you don't like..) ..if you usually throw them on the floor and just jump on them...give them a light dusting in flour first or they will stick to you feet....

A post on our Neighbourly website: I was on a diabetes information website the other day. It asked me if I would accept cookies. Is that a trick question?

I think everyone is very naive if they think IT will be the gift to humans. Why do we need it to do our housework or open doors or 1000's of other things we humans can do for ourselves. Yes it can be helpful in operations but controlled by humans just the same. SciFi is coming true as whatever man thinks of he will eventually create and giving AI the tools to teach themselves is a dangerous road to take. I think scary times are ahead in the future with the scientists just going too far. It is already doing more than delivery of Pizza or cleaning etc. People are talking to them as if they are real live humans and some of these robots actually look very close to that.

I can't perceive this happening at Rewardia.com - but anything (in time) can be in the realm of possibility.

Is reaching out for therapy (mental health) - a good idea? YES! Is this individual at the point - that he or she knows that they need to converse with a mental health specialist/professional? Does this individual have a 'health plan' that covers depression? If not, can this individual afford to visit a mental health specialist/professional on a regular basis for 'an extended period of time'?

Some of the topics do seem rather silly, but it doesn't bother me at all. We can pay them back by making silly comments.

I only went to one camp and it was by the sea were we did a lot of things it was the only camp there was when I was at school it was a Portsea victoria

I grew up watching Indy and grateful they haven't replaced him. Unlike most Hollywood films that butcher 'originals' to be more PC. Cheers to you Mr Harrison Ford.

I go for a walk (my happy place) - every day (regardless of the weather - but - I reside In Sunny Southern Cailfornia - LOL). I set a fast pace (I walk by myself), I walk in the evening, and I walk for two straight hours. I can literally feel the stress leaving my body.

You can also put on rainy day wear and go puddle stomping and for walks with the umbrella. Rain doesn't have to be a sentence to the indoors. Walk an indoor mall. They usually have little people areas to climb on soft big animals or ride a little train or carousel indoors. At least the malls in America have those features. Hopefully there too.

Not knowing the full details or the people involved it is impossible as strangers to give you advice.

and the biggest racist of all are Christians! Long ago they decided that Jesus was a White, Blonde, Blue-eyed adonis because that is how the Christian Churches depicted him when the Truth is he would have had a Brown skin, possibly a dark tan due to his job as a Carpenter, Black hair and those Beautiful dark, brooding Brown eyes so many, if not all, of those natives of that part of the world have. I do sometimes wonder if those who make so much noise, complain so much about Racism are not more Racist than those they accuse of being Racist thereby deliberately creating division where no division actually exists.

In Armadale we have a shopping centre near us where the whole front pathway of the shops is sloping. It is hairy when trying to negotiate this and feeling like you are going to tip over. One shop in the same suburb is renowned for having boxes and boxes of goods stuck in their aisles. Trying to negotiate this last year, I knocked over a pile of boxes and smashed at least one large ornament and probably more in those boxes. It is so frustrating! Have not been back in there since but have observed from outside the shop that their aisles are slightly better, but far from acceptable yet!. On the other hand my Woolworths in Kelmscott has wide clear aisles free from obstructions. And apart from that, they are always helpful and considerate. Most Woolies shops have the same wide aisles and clear pathways and on behalf of us with wheelchairs, may I say a huge thank you to them. How can we fix the problem - stick all the powers that be in wheelchairs and send them off for a day to shop! Perhaps that might wake them up. Edit: Wow, I just noticed some of the comments on here and am really gobsmacked! We do not expect perfection, but let me just say that money can be found for many minority groups who are always in the media, we can find money to float a republic, have a debate about putting an first nation voice in parliament, give pay rises to politicians who don't deserve them (some do), and fund hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, political lunches and heaps of other selfish causes. But a ramp into a shopping centre or an even entry - wow, aren't we selfish and entitled???!!! Hope some of you don't get to the stage where you face some of the problems we do!

I am too busy living life to listen to podcasts. Do a search for topics you like, you will find millions.

In a pub, the barman says to Paddy, “Your glass is empty, fancy another one?” Paddy looks at him incredulously and says, “Why would I be needing two empty feckin’ glasses?”

While armament production is such a prominent industry there will always be a need to have war to use the products.

'This Survey was closed while you Completed it. Yep, 12 minutes to do the entire survey (yes, I did, and then they friggin try fobbing me off with that shite crap angering message'. Why the F do I bother? Pretty sure it is a sign of stupidity, doing the same thing, and expecting a different result. I fair dinkum hope all the Companies that try to benefit from these Surveys do not pay 1 cent to Rewa

Don't make your work your life's priority. Employers don't give a stuff. Do your work diligently and don't take work home. Your own health and wellbeing is more important, and those who you love.

As someone who was born at 11:20PM, i have always said i only have a 40minute birthday. That's what my Mum always told me from as young as i can remember, and it's still what i believe today. My hubby and friends try and convince me the entire day is my birthday, but it is still hard to believe when i was told otherwise my entire life.

If the Federal Government would simply ban all Foreign Investment is Housing and scrap Negative Gearing for All Housing this would, reportedly, open up 10s of 1000s of Houses, Flat etc. for rent. It is also reported that those who own Housing - both Foreign and Australian Residents - deliberately keep their properties un-occupied for Tax Purposes. We hear Politicians, the Unions and others constantly complaining about how Multi-National Corporations pay Little or No Tax on their revenues in Australia - Successive Federal Governments - both ALP and Coalition - have failed to close off the mechanisms these organisations use to avoid paying any Tax. But never a word from any of them about the deliberate, but Legal, rorts, scams, cons - call them what you will, used by Politicians, Union Bosses and others to avoid paying tax on their own Housing Properties which they deliberately keep Un-Tenanted. One Federal ALP MP reportedly has $12 million invested in housing - he conveniently "forgot" to list a $1miilion property in his Asset Disclosure Statement to the Federal Parliament and his mates, both ALP and Coalition, in the very same Parliament did NOTHING. They won't do anything to put a stop to these scams because they are all up to their necks in this sort of Corruption and are Operating a Protection Racket for themselves. Faint hope it may, be but maybe the new wave of Independent, so-called Teal - Members of the Federal Parliament - unless they have their snouts in the same trough of Corruption - will force the Albanese ALP Federal Government to actually get off it's self-satisfied, greedy backside and address this issue.

Here in South Australia, if you are the first person to report a faulty street light and they don't fix it within 10 days you can get a GSL payment of $25. GSL stands for Guaranteed Service Level. We don't seem to have too many problems with street lights around where I live.

you should also ask if they should stop the slaughter of the people in yemen by the saudis,personally i think theres a lot more going on than ehat the media tells you,dont get me wrong,i dont think russia should have invaded but theres always more to the story,the first rulke of war is to get the propaganda machine cranked up. who here now knows that going into Iraq on the false stories of WMD was wrong,killing thousands of Afghanis was wrong,bombing weddings and the like,Look at how libya is now after the wests regime change,what makes you think the west is right about things this time,whats different to make you believe they are telling the truth this time?

I already spend far too much time with Rewardia as it is! My only wish is that I was not "screened out" so often from surveys as soon as I enter my Age - That is Not Rewardia's fault as they run the surveys for the companies which seem to think that once one reached a certain Age our opinions, ideas etc. are no longer valid, despite our "Life Experience"!

Yes, we should look after our own needs, we have a lot of poor people here as well who need to cook for their families and keep them warm. A lot of it is being "donated" to hostile parts and they are laughing at us while we scrummage to eek out a living and pay top price for EVERYTHING!

Yes definitely. There are individuals out there who deliberately target young people. Part of growing up is being guided in what is essential in a healthy environment both physically and mentally. It is essential that there is mature input into what young fertile minds are fed. Unfortunately in this highly technical age a lot of adults have been left behind and are at a loss in monitoring what our young ones have access to

Just so happy to live in a state thas has closed borders even if Vics are still trying to get in illegally. Why can't they stay in their own state ?? Those 3 women should be charged regardless and if their actions kill someone then they should be charged with manslaughter.

You don't know just how good it is to be alive until you narrowly avoid being dead...the rush you get is the best ....no contest

That is a question i rather frequently ask myself- particularly this evening after working through a green survey, completing and submitting- then to be told i hadn't completed it!! do we do these surveys to get frustrated! truly it is for the points and some money..but i do really enjoy connecting with everyone on the forums and seeing other people's comments..i like the games but wish more points could be earned..i work for ages doing the addictive 10x10 puzzle- over an hour- points not much. Whinge over- i am addicted to Rewardia and am on it every night

The thing that bothers ME most about lockdowns is the proliferation of dimwits that think it doesn't apply to them!

I had more friends in my 20s Noe I have a handful and they are truly close and trusted The numbers are no longer important it's the quality

In early 2020, the government added salt to the wound of pensioners by giving the unemployed people the "Pandemic Supplement" which doubled the dole payments to $1100 a fortnight for several months, thus being MORE than the average pensioner; AND the government DID NOT give pensioners any "Pandemic Supplement" payments. Although that salt in the wound made the wound sting, in late 2020, when pensioners were due for another pay rise, the government opened that wound, poured more salt onto it, then rubbed that salt into the wound by REFUSING to give pensioners that payment increase which they were entitled to receive. Although that additional salt rubbed into the pensioners wound had infected the wound, the government decided that they have NOT caused enough harm to the pensioners and decided to add even more salt to the infected wound by adding insult by announcing in March 2021 that single pensioners will receive a payment increase of $8-40 a fortnight ( $4-20 a week )....which barely buys a cup of coffee. I

Yes,, often, I am aware I am dreaming but at the same time I wake up and my dream has been so realistic and attached to my life as it is that when I wake up I sometimes have to ask myself "Was I dreaming or was this real?" A bit confusing some times and at other times when I realise I was just dreaming I am very, very grateful!

I was once hacked years ago when I had my businesses. The police told me that one method most used by hackers is entering people's computers through their MSN...ICQ or YAHOO messengers ....The police advised me to delete all messengers from my computer ..... When I was hacked I was hacked on MSN messenger whilst unknowingly chatting to the person who hacked me, whilst she was in my computer sending copies of my business files to everyone on my friend's list

My father has lived in the same house but I've barely talked to him because he would always show anger for no reason and out of nowhere. So that made me distant from him. He also enabled my mom's abuse.

What a crazy idea, next people will want chocolate to be sold all year round... ohh wait.... Plus think of all the money shops would lose out on. After all cant charge a ridiculous amount because its 'only available for a short time" PS super markets and bakerys out there, feel free to leave the cross of my bun and save me a few bucks a packet

i have heard some beautiful Latino songs, I don't understand the words but the way the music flows is just awesome, and having visited Japan some of the songs I heard are pretty cool too. You really don't have to know the words to appreciate the music/songs..

Me like to buy cheap things on very good special at shop and eat it before it goes out of date. This is usually the same day I buy it. Me have to eat it very fast.

It is so hard sometimes as you bring your children up to be fair and honourable and it is so hard to see what the $$$ signs can do to some of them at times. Trust certainly goes out the window with those that are done wrong.

No apologies, Johana C but I thinkyour ideas are nonsense. I went to an all boys school and if anything, thanks to the plethora of paedophile teachers - including female ones, who were the biggest bullies of all - we came out as misandrists. Yes, in some ways Co-ed schools are better but let us not forget that girls can be every bit as cruel, nasty, vindictive - especially towards other girls - Their bullying techniques have, somehow, been developed into an art which is passed down from one year to the next and they take that through to their adult lives. Both demales and males will develop into decent Women and Men if they have the example set for them by their parents. Sadly today Parents would rather rake in buckets loads of money - half of which they waste on After School Care for THEIR children - than actually rearing THEIR children themselves. So children come out of school knowing nothing more than how to bully and are set to be misogynists and misandrists their entire lives.

Shaun Micaulef: brilliant, discerning and humble bloke. We had a brief chat at a small newsstand in Melbourne's CBD. His intelligence shone through his eyes intensely. He is also extremely handsome in real life. I was at Edward's Lake (Melbourne Vic) for a Labor Party rally with my parents as a kid. It rained so the venue had to be held indoors and the Great Gough nodded as he walked by. That man had the most powerful presence I have ever come across. What a man!

Not applicable in WA; our Premier thinks the sun shines from his bum and he won't get up an hour earlier for anyone!! :-)

I don't know why anyone wants to watch them in the first place...even that is very disturbing..you can make terrifying films without anyone getting killed, it just takes someone with some true skill and ability.

Yes, we were defrauded of $53,500 so it is hard enough buying the bare necessities let alone being extravagant, can't even afford to buy and post Christmas cards

Why is this even a topic on this discussion? Good for you but probably doesn’t relate to the rest of us

About 14 or 15 I think. I'd had trouble seeing when I was in primary school but every time I had an eye test, they said I was fine. Turns out the optometrist needed glasses himself and had been reading the results wrong for years. A lot of kids needed glasses in the years following that

Couldn't give up my home phone. How would Michelle from the NBN be able to contact me on a regular basis to advise that my land line will be cut off in 24 hours. Poor kid would be out of a job.

I've slept with the same snorer my parents sleep with: Charlie (Heinz59er, dog), is the loudest sleeper; he snores, farts, barks, yips, grunts, growls, yelps, and even sleepwalks! My parents thought he was possessed the first night he was in the house. But he does like the ladies, and enjoys his nightly cuddles. certainly didn't get much of those in the house he was rescued from (RSPCA save). Making up for it now tho'.

If you can dream it then you can do it!..I make Jewellery as a wee side line hobby/business, which I sold though a local shop until covid hit!!!! so my goal for next year is to get my business up and running online.
