lol,here we go again,dosent matter who is in,your going to get screwed,its big business that runs the country,our so called demoracy is an illusion,in fact i just read an article yesterday on how big business and universities run immigration policy,the australia we once knew and loved is long gone

Work some place else.... its the best option.... as it is usually really hard to get rid of the body...(or so I've been told)

My son is 26 years old and up until today I can still recall when he was 5 months old and I was trying to teach him to say Papa instead he would say papaw, it was so funny to hear.

I don't have a minutes trouble automatically clicking and having FB and Email reminders autofill the codes and voila'......10 points total to do nothing.

Our corrupt and totally Dishonest Federal and State Politicians claim they cannot refuse the massive pay rises the Not-So-Independent Remuneration Commission - it should be remembered that it is Appointed by the Politicians so it is 100% Owned by them, never mind that we, the Taxpayers, are not allowed to know who it is that actually makes up this Remuneration Commission, we can bet it will include former politicians, judges, senior public servants - These massive and totally unjustified Pay Rises do not simply end with Federal Politicians they flow through to the Federal Public Service chiefs, Judiciary, State and Territory politicians and all of their senior Public Servants and the Judiciary. Think on this. There are some Public Servants who are being paid 100s of 1000s more than the Prime Minister, State Premiers and Territory First Ministers! Our obscene politicians then use that lovely cash to buy countless Residential Properties which they charge ever-increasing rents for and then they Negfatively Gear the lot so that they end up paying NO INCOME TAX at all. It is no wonder that they all oppose any suggestion that Negatively Gearing should be abolished. One ALP, yes a politicians who supposedly represents the Down-trodden Masses, owns so many properties that he oh-so-conveniently forgot to mention that just a few years ago and before the price of housing escalated as it has done recently, he owned one property which was worth OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS. These parasites, abolished the old Arbitration Commission, which set OUR wages, but have their Own organisation which sets their wages, it has never, ever refused to grant their annual 3% to 4% Pay rises. On top of all that cash they also get FREE TRANSPORT to and from work, Free Transport anywhere they want to go. The current Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Linda Burney chartered a SOLE USE Aircraft to transport her around. The current Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese has spent more time big-noting himself overseas thah he has actually spent in Australia working for Us, and he is about to go on yet another Taxpayer-funded junket. All this expense for the current leader of a country which is almost at the bottom of the list of importance, a very, very minor and insignificant world power. He would rather allow Foreign Troops to be stationed on Australian Soil and doing exactly as the USA tells him than standing up for Australia, his predecessors were/are no different. He wants us to give a very small minority of Australians, less than 4%, Rights and Privilkedges which he refuses to grant the rest of the population. Already thanks to this we have other minority groups within Australian Society who are now demanding that they be granted the same Rights and Privilegdes! If it is good enough for one it is good enough for all.

Not for me . I have a couple of Company\u2019s that produce gold and the dividends are enough for me.

When I went on my cruise I met several people who had sold their house and lived permanently on the cruise ship. They do not have to cook, clean, pay rates, house and contents insurance, pay for gardening, power bill, groceries, drinks or maintenance. They are entertained, have company and they have medics on board.

Sure as hell felt safer driving around in my 1957 Chev compared to my 2009 VE Commodore. Older cars were made of real steel and made to last, new cars are just throw away items hence why they have the safety of the air bags etc etc.

AI will pose challenges to civilization and people, as did the Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century or the introduction of computers in the workplace. AI is an extension of this, and it will be interesting to see how people and the workplace will change.

bring it on home /bring it back, on the How the west was won album is my favorite led zep piece live shows their roots outsounding wish i could find a clip get chills everytime i hear it

I do like the way the British do their series such as Midsomer Murders, The Bill, Heartbeat etc. Also like crime shows that actually show the real people at the end of the movie that has been shown. I only watch movies of real life stories and find them very interesting.

every fortnight I check in with my bottle of Woodford reserve [double oaked] he says I am doing fine and see you in 2 weeks, occasionally if I have any doubts I might check in with the cc a dry 10-pack or carton in between appointments and I am generally reassured

There are people I love, but certainly don't trust because of this very issue. Trust is an important but easily broken thing.

Not only are they real, but governments around the world are officially preparing for the first alien contact. The university of St. Andrews in Scotland has established an alien contact research center. The Pentagon estimates that there are a possible 4590 extraterrestrial civilizations and are researching the best way to contact and communicate with them. So, you are correct 'we are not alone'.

Sample the options right in your area that you never thought of doing before. You can stay at home but each day plan to do something different and explore what has always been there but you were too busy to notice until now. You get to pick 3 things and so does he.

A past time I enjoy during the week is going to the library and either participating in one of their classes, activities, or just checking out some DVDs or a good non-fiction title to pick through over the month. They also have a "seed library" for checking out any kind of vegetable or underground seedlings for fruit that you can take and give it a go at home in the garden or if you don't have a garden you can try your hand at some herbs.

That's just plain negligence to advertise your selection as gluten free and have it not turn out to be true. You could have had a worse reaction. Celiac disease can be very distressing if you provoke the symptoms with the wrong food. You must say something to the manager and make him comp you a truly gluten free meal. If not, leave a poor review on their website. But dont just let it go......

Can't go by putting a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of hot water and putting your head over it, covering yourself with a towel and inhaling deeply for a while. Then off to bed with a hot lemon juice and honey drink. Stay hydrated. Rest up, eat a balanced diet, laugh lots and get some sunshine if you can.

Growing up, we made an Easter basket at school and received small eggs from the Easter bunny, Easter is about other things than chocolate. These days children seem to get too much and don’t appreciate what they receive. Maybe the should learn the true meaning of Easter

I guess its a good way to meet people but ive always found it somewhat terrifying eating alone in a restaurant and avoid it.

Live is too short to bear grudges and families are so important so just put on a brave face and enjoy

Me too. Sometime I finished the survey and while submitting i don't get any points wasting 15 minutes of my precious time doing the survey. This is happening a lot lately I believe Rewardia have become very smart getting the freebies without paying us specially.

Contacted Veterans' Affairs yet? I am assuming you are talking about an aircraft pilot, not someone who brings ships in and out of port. Why don't you get in touch through Defence with the Royal New Zealand Air Force editor of AIR FORCE NEWS. It would make an interesting feature in their monthly magazine., they are always on the lookout for WWII historical stuff. Push the inaccuracy aspect while you are at it. What records does the Air Force Museum have at Wigram?

I saw an ad on burial plots, that's the last thing I need. I'm unemployed now, my origami business folded! I'm afraid of negative numbers, I'll stop at nothing to avoid them. You can't trust atoms, they make up everything.

Vaccinated, stay at home, only go out if necessarily. Learn to live with the virus in our communities. We at the moment have other things to worry about. My brother who is 59 suffered 2 heart attack, he's in hospital and he's now we think okay. Puts things into perspective really.

I get too annoyed with tradies who don't seem to care much about how they do it - I do as much as possible myself and I have become very professional

I am now 64yo, when I was in my very early 20s I lived in Cubitt Street Richmond, Victoria, Australia, and late one night I looked out my bedroom window, and up in the dark night sky I saw 3 different coloured lights flickering and hovering. At first I thought it might be a police helicopter so I kept watching it. After a while, it moved through the air, much quicker than any helicopter or plane I knew of. I kept watching, it returned to the same spot and began hovering then suddenly flew up quickly into space and vanished. The technology of these aliens is far more superior than ours, which is why our world leaders fear them. These aliens come in peace and probably want to share their technology with us and learn about us as a human race so they can go back to their planet and tell others on their planet that we are a friendly race. These aliens might be seeing how we are slowly destroying our planet and are visiting us in peace to provide us with the knowledge and technology to save our planet from destruction....But the world leaders are too ignorant to accept that knowledge and technology.

How lovely for you. I do not have any contact with my grand children and have never met 2 of them. Family dynamics can be sad sometimes.

I am so lucky my kids are grown up with families of their own. I am so proud of all parents who had to fill this void, I would have never been able to cope,

I don't get attached to things (I get attached to people)! At this point in my life - I never had to hocked ANYTHING (I never had to use a pawn shop) - hopeful, this trend will continue until the day I die! It goes without saying, I don't judge people who do use pawnshops, however - I judge pawn shop owners (since the the majority of pawnshops are located in the poorest section of a city)!

It is quite often that they will overload your bag and it is dry heavy to put in and out of your trolley. Of course they want to serve and scan quickly and packing takes time. But the supermarkets need have more staff at checkouts and then we all win.

I am grateful for whatever I receive because it means that person thought of me. Its the thought that counts

Genetic modification will allow people to live longer but when your number is up, it’s up. Perfectly healthy people die for no reason....except maybe the Force wants your story back....lol

I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable,happy,stylish and sometimes sexy lol basically whatever my mood is on the day,I wear something to match that unless I am just blobbing out at home on the couch,well then that's a PJ day..You won't find any designer labels in my wardrobe though,i'm not that rich.

No but I want to try it once only. After that I don't want any further emails, marketing etc, I want to see what it it like to satisfy my curiousity

There are two things that will always lift my mood. One is flowers. I have been called a "flower nut". Just glancing at my flowers on my balcony puts me in a good mood, or seeing them in someone's garden as I walk by. My second mood lifter is music. I started listening to my father's radio when I was five years old, and I was always wearing out the batteries. When he couldn't find the radio he knew it would be with me. Then he just had to find me! It got so bad he gave in and got me my own little radio with a big supply of batteries! I still can't be without music. TV I can do without, but not my music.

Yes, Rusty, it is annoying and all the survey sites do it, so I just chill and plough through, and hope I earn my 50 cents at the end of it. I just did a really interesting survey which was quite unusual and refreshing - wonders will never cease. Happy New Year anyway Rusty.

Pack your bags, sell the house without telling her and leave the country with the proceeds. Far too often are the men cast as the evil doers, they are always in the wrong, they can never, ever do anything right or decent. Conversely their wives are always cast as the Innocent Victims, Pure, incapable of saying anything nasty, of cruelty. Wrong, ladies and gents, you could not be more wrong if you tried. Why has there been an explosion in the number of men committing suicide? They have been driven to it by the Courts and disatisfied partners wanting ever more.

I add a can of Tuna, a grated carrot and anything else left over. Fry until golden and serve. Yum-yum.

Some of us were not drowned in Agent Orange. It was a case of luck, really. Methuselah, hope your Govt is looking after you....now... the NZ government took its time., allowed lots of vets to die off so the pool needing assistance diminished. Same went for the Christmas Island tests vets. Mururoa likewise.

Happy to just go along as normal with no daylight savings. Still get plenty sunshine, in fact I would gain none with changing. The only thing changing is a clock.

I never tip (USA) - it is not my responsibility (as a customer) to supplement the employer's pay rate (what the employer is paying his/her employees). If the employer cannot pay his/her employees a livable wage - then the employer should not be operating a business!

I would definitely eat that but without the chili powder or green chilies. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

thank you I was looking for short recipe for tea cake we love high tea. Questions is it regular flour or self rising, is it granulated sugar or super fine, and is it unsalted butter. Thanks so much

Sometimes I think the stores count on people not checking receipts. I go over them with a fine tooth comb.

Actually just what it says. Parts like tis are really the red meat. I actually really enjoy this, but it does require a taste. Beef heart, rocky mountain oysters And gizzard and hearts. Let's not forget trype. Learned most of these delicacies from an old sheephearder. I spent a summer with as a kid

Thanks Ange. I always make sure that I have all these ingredients at home and available at all times. I don't know if many people realise how very nutritious this is as well as being tasty too. I wish that I had a dollar for every bowl of hummus eaten globally just for today because I'd be instantly rich! Thanks for sharing.

If they were not addicted to gambling they would be addicted to something else. It's called - No self discipline.

Chiropractors, podiatrists and other quasi professionals make a fortune out of questionable practices anyway...optometrists aren't far behind them...snake oil salesmen for a large part.....the only podiatrist I have ever used had large tubs of dubious pills along a shelf that people came in and bought while I was supposed to be having a "consult"...these people are bonkers... I wonder how the human race coped before we invented them? ..oh that's right we had shamen con men and priests.... here is bit of free advice don't buy stupid shoes...and you probably only need three pairs tops...so it saves you money...and saves the planet... and nobody else cares anyway....

It says when you sign up for rewardia "Earn up to $100 a week!" But I guess that's only if this is your full-time job?

You put message on the board so expect this. If you want privacy send a card. More time spend, but it's more personal

We have 6 grandchildren, aged 5- 18. We have given them blocks, books, dolls and truck as presents for them to take home. I have always made up a box of things to do when they are at our place . A new board game, craft , paints and an outside toy or basketball etc

I really don\u2019t like the fact that my phone is listening to my conversations and Facebook is tracking my likes. I prefer to look up products that I need myself.

Not happy with Optus even before the hacking incident. Paid so much for 5G but the service is terrible. Even if there's a class action, how much can you get?

My wife is 5 years older than me. When we had been together for a year and it came to asking her to marry me she found out then. I don't think that's a lie but she just assumed I was older. She still married me though and we've been married for 46 years.

HUbby is a big Billy fan. He has all his movies, books and whatever else he has released over the years. I have grown to like him, he seems like a lovely genuine man who says it like it is.

I don't have anyone to play with, so if I play any games it's usually on the ipad like rewardia. I loved monopoly, cluedo, trivial pursuit and trouble

Jesus, and family and friends, I have been truly blessed through thick and thin,,, I have always had the best influence.

Oh Walter W that happens every where not just in America and yes it is very wrong and very unethical, but the bank needs guarantees and unless some one is going to guarentee that the black man won't forfeit on a loan they simply won't give it to any of them. Very sad and very unjust. It happens all the time and the black man works just as hard as a white man (maybe some times even harder.) But what can one do, go guarantor on a loan for some one they don't know? Would you do that?

I am rather taken with Finland. It is known as the happiest country on earth. Their language is hard to learn I believe. I think I could live there for a few years. It is a year and a half since making a move in my own state and still haven't finished unpacking. No, don't think I could go through it again.

Hi Mary. I have asked our content manager about it, here is the answer: you have 1 published Daily Poll and 5 declined. Two of them were about "What would your favourite dog be?" or so, declined because we already have a lot of "dog" Polls. The reason for the rest three polls is a very trivial - the text of the Question is too long. If we've got some Polls with a long text in the Question and some compact ones, shorts will win

in my humble opinion, we all have biased since it is our opinion based on our perceptions,which are also biased

I do most of these now but I'm just wondering what a Water Butt is. We have 3 rainwater tanks and use that to give fresh water to my birds and to water the garden.

When I first joined Rewardia I was a little surprised at getting like responses to some of my comments. I've got used to it now. I have a Facebook ID but don't bother 'Liking" very much.

I use it most of the time instead of a computer. I download and read books, do banking, play games, do surveys, take and edit photos, send texts and emails, research products, order products, watch videos, listen to music, read the news, find recipes and craft patterns, learn French and Chinese, book tickets and accommodation and ask questions about anything I want to know. That takes up most of my day! I very rarely use it to ring people.

Recycle as much as possible Office Works accepts a lot of tech things, batteries, ink cartridges etc and our council has a free tech and electronic product drop off once a year

For a while Trump didn't like New Zealand either. A lot of people criticised Sweden too for touting that they're just gonna let the virus run rampant and develop heard immunity (initially). Oh and Boris Johnson has had his fair share of criticism. I think the media is just doing the rounds. Out of all of us I think China has copped it the worse even though they seemed to have dealt with the pandemic better than most countries. Oh well. Who's next?

I have just spent ages completing a survey for Otago University and at the finish I got the shrug of the shoulders and told I was screened out and given 18 points. I COMPLETED THE ENTIRE SURVEY

My mum was such a good friend when i was older, she collapsed and died in my arms of a brain embolism on xmas eve 1999. The pain eases but the hurt is still there. Always take the time to tell your freinds and family how much you love them.

Have not seen my family in QLD for 2 years. And maybe at Xmas time,but the premier of QLD has changed her mind so many times -- often over very silly events --

Question: Are you going to give Aboriginals back their land and leave Australia (which white Australians took by illegal means)? Furthermore, white Australians' politicians get freebees at the expense of the taxpayers - all the time! What is your point? NO - colonialism was NEVER a good thing for indigenous people or minorities!

It's always surprised me just how much stuff women can store in their handbag...they have to be a lot bigger on the inside....like the Tardis

In my experience doctors have not been too good at detecting health issues, including some major ones. Given that, a toilet that provides health data could be an advantage.

There is no such a thing as corrupt nation. And no, the internet cannot start WW3. People can. People can prevent it as well. That’s what I think. Think about it.

Many of the old movies are better than some of the rubbish and stories made today. The ne movies could not be classed as entertainment.

My sanity - unfortunate - I reside in the land of idiots (USA) - the overwhelming majority of the population - still thinks COVID-19 is a government cover up - the good old days (before the pandemic) are not coming back - not anytime soon!!

Not really for these products (part of life, as has been said here), but I was in line behind someone who was looking - it turned out - for some anti-nit shampoo. When she (or he ;}), got to the counter, the lass behind asked "the person" to speak up then ... practically yelled, "oh, you mean nit-shampoo!"...

oh man all day do people have a sook about a scratch or paint mark, if ya gonna get paranoid over it dont take car soft ass cry baby car out.

It hasn't crept into our vocabulary. If you use it in the wrong context you need to improve your English. What I do hate is when people say tooken instead of taken! We will eventually degenerate into neanderthals again with the horrid grammar, speech and antisocial behaviour around nowadays. Grunt grunt!

If you truly believe in God, you will realise why people get married. Marriage is a type of Christ and his bride, and when Christ returns he will take those who believe in him to be his bride, and they will live with him in bliss and everlasting joy for eternity. You see, the Bible teaches that the kingdom of God will be on earth. In the meantime by being married we are glorifying God who wants us to be faithful to our partner in this life, just as we must be faithful to God. Marriage is a big commitment but it is very worthwhile from a scriptural point of view.

If you don't look after it ,it won't look after you. Its generally the second biggest purchase for most people, look after it!!

Have only ever purchased 1 item (as far as I can remember) - got someone else to put it together for me as it was so complicated and takes so long to put it together. The process of finally finding it in the store, selection of the wanted item, collection from the assembly store down the bottom and then getting it paid for, let alone getting it home again is a mission in itself - who has the expertise or energy left to put the item together. Only impetus is saving the $70+ dollars they want for getting someone from their store to assemble it for you. Much prefer to go somewhere else & pay a bit more but get the item in one piece at home. I'm too old to try doing the gymnastics required to assemble the IKEA items.

You cannot use the Netherlands as a comparison, their cities are designed for bicycles not vehicles, wear a helmet, stop being vein!!

Depending on how dirty you are, bathing in your own filth is gross...but clean body in nice hot bath with candles and music is great relaxing therapy!! Showers are good for removing all the dirt period?!??

No I have never needed to, just block weirdos lol.I have friends that have done though for their own reasons.I don't actually spend much time on them like I use to,it get's a bit too much the same old same old ya know what I mean.I really only use it for staying in touch with family and friends that don't live in my city/country.

2 points for the dragonfly! I've seen them by creeks, and they can really move, like a hummingbird! ;-D

I chose the one that looked to me like a blue-iced cupcake. However, on second thoughts, I don't want something that makes me think of cupcakes!

Growing up I was partial to blackberries, we had some wild ones growing down the back. Underrated.

Having just made hot cross buns, my first effort working with yeast, and with the most informative of instructions, I cannot understand why you haven't provided the exact measures for this recipe.

I would do thid recipe without the cheese, as I'm lactose intollerant. Do apart from the cheese, it sounds nice.

I scramble 1 egg (I've had bariatric surgery so 1 is enough for me) with a dash of cream (so much better than milk!) and then crumble a small amount of feta over the top and sprinkle with chopped chives from my herb garden. SO GOOD!!!!!

When I purchase a bunch of anything that has roots, mainly shallots, they go straight into the ground. They just keep on giving. I only have to purchase about two bunches a year. My mum has always done that so I guess I learned from her. A few years back it was a big thing. I remember people regrowing celery. I managed that one, but an idiot who lives in my house thought it was a weed and that was the end of that.

Hi Kamana. I love pizza. In my case, I will leave out the cooked chicken pieces and crispy bacon. I appreciate you submitting your recipe. It reads very TASTY!

Most surveys say that in 'timed tests, it has been found that this survey takes 8 to 10 minutes to complete'. This does not take into account the fact that many surveys have essay questions, pay attention questions, I am not a robot questions and that they usually ask the same BS questions over and over again thus making that 8 to 10 minutes more like an hour or two. Beware! Most 25 point surveys usually take an hour or two or three even! Rule of thumb- always assume that surveys can be very short or very long regardless of what they tell you! If you don't have the time needed and you are not sure if you can save the survey for later, do not start surveys you are not sure of their length. What I hate is when they tell you that you must accumulate X number of points before you can cashout! BTW Rewardia requires 50K points for $50 cash or gift cards/codes.

Such delights as this give meaning to the acronym T.G.I.F.! I'm drooling on my shirt front just reading this How-To. Thanks XXL

Hi Kamana 1696768. Never ate rice pudding (before) 'might' give it a try. Anyway, it reads very TASTY!

Hi Kamana 1696768.I will replace 2 boneless chicken breasts with X number of peanuts (for protein). Furthermore, the peanuts will give the Caesar Salad an extra crunch ability factor - the only change I will make to your recipe. Easy (to make)! Healthy! Tasty! Thanks!

That cake pictured doesn't look like the applies were just folded into the batter! They look very specifically placed on top. But delicious all the same.

Meat is expensive here in NZ, so I bought a big bag of sausages on special at Woolworths yesterday. Now I know what to do with them lol Yum thank you.
