So much depends on the individual person and what they want to achieve in life. University is not the be-all and end-all for everyone. We need skilled tradespeople, artists, actors, designers, gardeners, chefs, drivers, etc. who need to learn from professionals who also learned 'on the job'.

Each person has their own time table. Me, I dated a few guys but after a few I decided it was no longer for me. I have not dated now in over 25 years and happy about it. Some people though like the twosomes. Never listen to other people. If you make a mistake then you own it.

I was retrenched after 40 years service. They sent the work to another state but I was not offered a transfer at all although they were already short staffed over there.

If you give an opinion and get trolled, dont answer back, stop reading comments and leave the site. Go get fresh air and communicate with real friends. Dont give these people any satisfaction.

I'm in my 70's and when l rode my bike in my youth we were not allowed to ride on the foot path. It was against the law. So why are they ride on foot paths now. They are called FOOT PATHS.

When I worked at a supermarket they would have a 10 items for 10 dollars sale. That would be 1 dollar for each item. But here is the thing, some items were 89 cent at the regular price. we employees would tell certain customers this and they would tell others.

Weirdly enough.. Untangling cords. My kids think it's funny. My hands just twist and gently pull tangled cords apart without much thought. 3 sets if Earphones, untangled in under a minute. They were a mess. Xmas lights.. easy! I get secret joy from it all too! My secret weird superpower (well..close to!)

yeah they do write music like that now, and 25 years from now someone else will say the same thing, it all comes down to if you get stuck in some musical era, and never give anything new a chance this is what happens,, today's music is great,, a lot of peoples minds for some reason get stuck like that,,, i check every week for new music,,,, the other thing is CDs sound sux, if y'all listened to that old music on vinyl, you will hear things in songs you never heard before,,,, i saved a lot of my vinyl,, tho i did rip a crapload of CDs, i have since been buying my old music that was on CDs, in vinyl,, the CDs do make great skeet to practice shooting doves,,, \ud83d\ude01

Lots of the things already mentioned but 1. a map of where you are going . 2. Leave a detailed list of where you are are heading with someone you trust, how long for and the date you should be back, so they can notify the authorities if you don't return on time. Safety should be the foremost thing on your mind, especially if you are going alone.

Do you need your shower to remind you to take your clothes off before you turn the water on? When you do something enough, it becomes second nature.

I have had friends for 40 years I have had them for 10 minutes most of my friends drift in and out for all kinds of reasons, just say true to yourself and be there when you can and hopefully, your friends will do the same main thing is talk keep on talking, not texting or messaging messages are so easy to get miss construed and it would be a shame if friends drift over a miss understanding

Have you noticed that the bigger the utility or car the bigger and more arrogant some of the drivers are

EV;s are a con - it costs just as much to mine the battery materials and they can't be recycled - same as the windmills for wind power - call me a cynic if you wish!

I once read an article where some historian said he thought people were at their happiest during George Washington's time period, and I asked my uncle what he thought about that. He said he was sure a lot of people back then were happy, but probably just as many were unhappy, then said just like today there are happy people but just as many unhappy ones. It all depends on your outlook, circumstances (I doubt anyone with a lot of health problems or who lost more than their share of loved ones can be happy) and ability to have hope, no matter what time period you live in. That being said, I have to add that modern times have gotten flawed by too many decades of a ME First attitude. When people always put themselves first, they turn the positive "selfs" (self-confidence, self-assurance, self-esteem) into negative ones (self-centeredness, self-involvement, selfishness) and I think that has a lot to do with things that have gone wrong in society today. And now that "myself" has gotten a bit carried away, I'll wish everyone a "HAPPY HOLIDAY", and now I'll shut up!

I used to catch the train to Flinders Street Station and walk up Swanston Street to the RMIT Tech School in Victoria Street Carlton and it did not kill me :)))) Michael

I have never had a problem....EVER..... with Woolworths or Coles. I always hope they over charge me. I have scored heaps of stuff over the years...probably the best was a jar of 400gm Moccona coffee. just see them at the counter and be sensible and you won't have a problem.

No answers, just my core belief system at work, hopeful; providing insight. DESTINY is what you are meant to do. It is your soul's dream for you. While FATE happens when you don't take responsibility for your life. DESTINY is what happens when you commit to growing, learning, and taking chances. DESTINY is not absolutely predetermined, but more like a beautiful, perfect, deeply meaningful plan (that is tailored to suit you - and only you). It is the force (Destiny) that some people think controls what happens in the future (your future), and which cannot be influenced by people (or the public).

No, no, no. I don't have a pity purse only a purse I pity for lack of funds. I love my cakes but would never risk buying a "pig in a poke" as hate wasting food if don't like it.

It was professor plum ,in the laundry with the drainpipe ..

I truly "LOVE" how people see jobs in trades (plumber, chippie, sparkie, gardener, etc) or retail as a lower rated job, like the people who work those jobs are a lesser person to someone who has completed many years of uni or has a high degree. If it wasn't for cleaners, retail staff, check out operators, tradies and the like, how would you be able to do your shopping or even live? You would not have a house to live in- lots of tradies helped to build the vast majority of homes we all live in, without retail staff there'd be no shops operating, without cleaning staff many businesses would be piled high in filth. I know of people who have doctorates, people who are A/Prof's who are cleaners or are doing labouring jobs or retail work as they simply cannot get work in their field, or maybe their job got too stressful, so they chose to do something completely different. These people also do a lot of volunteer work in roles some other "well educated" would not dream of doing. I think it comes down to how you are raised. If you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth and your parents taught you to look down on those with "lesser jobs", then sadly i think it will be very hard to change how one sees and treats other people and you may struggle with life if you're thrown a curve ball. If you're raised to treat the cleaners, retail workers and garbage truck driver with respect and talk to them as a fellow equal human being, than i think you're a well rounded person who will do fine in life and be able to handle whatever the world throws their way. And just as a FYI- Plumbers and tradies do up to 4years study/on the job training. Bartenders and coffee shop workers also do a lot of training courses and need to get accreditation for some of their roles. Same with grocery store workers. Yes, it's a job where you can start with no experience, but after doing the job for a while, you will realise you deal with many different things- abusive and/or rude customers, customers who they tell their deepest secrets to, you will sometimes be the ONLY person an individual (customer) interacts with, you will form friendships with customers, you will learn a lot about how a business is run. If you study for a decade and are still miserable, was it all worth it? If you start an entry level job and thoroughly enjoy it, do you consider this to be a waste of your education or the fact you have had an amazing opportunity open up for you?

Toyota or Mazda but, but as Roslyn A says, hybrid or EV would be great but at present too expensive even for a used one. Manual or Automatic. I know this may sound a bit sexist but I think most young men would prefer a Manual as they are more fun to drive!

I have no idea. Edward S when you click on Submit and get those oh-so-annoying " Sorry Survey Closed" messages click on your Points (top left-hand of screen) and you will very often find that though you got that msge you have, in fact, been given the points. I agree with you that this seems to happen every time you take part in one of those impossibly long surveys. We can't seem to do the right thing can we? We are told Never to Rush, Always take our time, give honest and thought out answers and when we do as told we get punished for doing so. Maybe Rewardia and those they run the survey for should sit down and have a chat about allowing us time to complete their surveys.

Of course, wouldn't anyone do that ?? Why would you even need to think about it ?? Just imagine yourself in that situation. How would you feel if people ignored you thinking yiou were drunk?? Thank heavens 2 cars stopped recently when my husband had a fall on the footpath, it was darkish, but they stopped and helped him up. He was only a few steps from home, so he was fine. I can't believe that you would have to stop and think before acting,.

A bit of surgery is one thing, but don't change who you are. Additionally, I get not everyone is a size 2, but the obesity that's being accepted in the name of "positivity" is unhealthy and leads to additional health problems.

You have no-one to blame but yourselves. You vote with your feet and if you don't like what you are offered then take your business elsewhere. The banks introduced ATMs' and you queued to use them not giving a wit about the teller whose job it replaced. You were offered internet banking and you were in a hurry to sign up for it, once again replacing people. Then it was the banking app and use your mobile all the while doing people out of a job. Branches closed and ATM's were removed, do you now why? Most ATM's are owned by people who buy them as an investment, they cost money to own because the Reserve Bank charges people for the money they put into ATM's so when you paid at Woollies or Coles with your phone and took out cash the costs of keeping ATM's was more than the earnings so they were removed. Don't complain, don't whinge because you brought this upon yourself. I don't have a smartphone, I don't trust them, especially with my personal banking. Apps aren't as secure as websites, not your side but the other end and people you interact with. I still use the website but my bank is trying to close it and push me off onto an app of course because it's cheaper, but I'm not going without a loud noise. Not everyone wants to bank online, some people forget how to do things online as they age, some people aren't as capable as others to go online or on an app so Banks should be somewhat responsible for pushing everyone online where they get ripped off or scammed. It's too late now the horse has bolted, you chose a machine and technology over a person. I'll use technology when it's a benefit but I MUCH prefer to deal with a real live person, I queue at the checkout to keep the checkout person employed and I like to shop in stores to keep the sales people employed. Any business that tries to push me into having a smartphone I ditch because I don't want one or the apps they insist I need. Every action has consequences and not using people results in no people being required. Think about that the next time you use serf service.

Stop giving to Charity, no eating out, only replacing what we use, no more takeaways, use the car less, no new clothes or shoes, no cinema and more internet purchases. In other words NO LIFE

You need to seek professional help. Asking your boyfriend to make your decisions is putting too much stress on him and you may lose him. Get help from a professional and keep your relationship on a loving basis.

Most people who cheat are narcissists that think they will never be caught. When found out they first go on the offensive and say it's all in your mind, then when given incontrovertible proof they blame you for your inadequacies or say it was a mistake and they'll never do it again, which is a lie. They just think next time they'll be more careful. I was married for 50 years and he cheated for most of that time. I never told anyone and had no support, until my daughter picked up the other line at home and caught him talking to his bit on the side. She supported me and gave me the strength to dump his a$$. He was a bully and treated me like his maid not an equal. I should have told someone sooner.

WHAT . Maybe AnynomousUser1234 needs to get a better translator or stop drinking the funny juice??? Maybe people need to get better organised. public transport is not expensive and if you are in dire financial hardship there are plenty of places to get a travel voucher. Next people will be wanting free food and homes.... Get a job, get your life organised and realise nothing is free you need to work and pay your own way.

The lower the points the less I do. I still wonder who does the average less than 250 point ($0.25 cents !) per survey ???. Reading below it seems all of you. No doubt they will going down again shortly and be an average of 100 points (10 cents !) per survey soon and no doubt you will all keep doing them. Ummmmmm.

You can only teach a child, not tell them how to think. Have Millennials thought about that? It's called taking responsibility!

No, it has always been that way where I work. The doctor insisted. It has made no difference the Covid. I only work 1 day a week now as am retired. However, the doctor has always said if you are sick stay home as it is not fair on the patients....or him.

There is more to life in communities than just drinking. There might be less domestic violence for instance. there are hundreds of different ways to socialize than getting together for a drink. Some communities are being destroyed by excess drinking. Aboriginal women are being killed more often as a result. Publicans have exploited customers for far too long. It is time to enjoy each other's company without the effects of liquor.

Chocolate! My biggest weakness but so far this year I have not had any,it's my journey to start eating healthier and look after myself better so as I age I won't be suffering like my mother is.

Up all night! Be damned. The fat free loading bugger sneaks around peeping through bedroom windows to check on kids. He then breaks into houses to drink all the beer and snack on a few biscuits. I got arrested when I tried doing that type of thing. No one wanted me to come back the following year.

We've been conditioned for years. They're already here amongst us. You've only got to take a look at the WEF's Mr. Schwab, his snake sidekick and the likes of Zuckerberg to know this. We are only even told the truth when it's old news.

I Ike listen to story about health stuffs as this help me understand more. I never make fun of peoples.

Wish they would go back to glass bottles. Milk doesn't taste the same out of a plastic bottle and you can reuse glass bottles

Do you actually mean you were Bullied at your workplace? Your entire comment simply does not make any sense whatsoever. If English is your second language then why don't you contact one of the hundreds of agencies which specialize in teaching Adults to Read, Write and Spell, one of them regularly advertises their telephone number on TV. To the person at Rewardia who vets this "Discussion of the day" segment why did you allow this comment to appear?

Yes it is tough out there .We are a couple of aged pensioners & I can get 4 meals from a medium chicken ,Pot of chook stock(I boil the chook using onions ,carrots & celery(don't over cook keep the stock & veg)use the 2 legs(not thighs) & wings.I brown them & with roast potatoes & veg, I use a little amount of stock to make gravy.Meal 1.The thighs we have cold with Salad,Meal 2. 1/2 the stock I put diced pumpkin & diced potato in cook gently in the stock when cooked I mash vegies well for wholesome pumpkin soup & serve with crusty bread meal 3. ,The breast I break in pieces I drain a tin of asparagus pieces add to chicken,I make a white sauce using stock(not milk)Add a handful frozen peas meal 4. (All dishes seasoned to your taste) we freeze some if portions too large. also eat other meats . I shared these recipes for others on a budget .

Never think that everyone around you thinks the same way that you do...almost none of them do...and don't make any assumptions or plans based on that idea...people are seriously much more weird than you can possibly imagine ...that took me way far too long to work out...It'll save you a lot of time and effort.... ..I might write a book about it

no, money comes later, teach them first, to help to do chores at home, so they learn the value of helping each other, helping others.. Yes earning money is good, but money is not everything. Love and education starts at home

Of course I would! After having both my daughters I decided to go back to school and so glad I did! They are now 26 and 17yrs old and I’m working in the field I went to school in. Your never too old!

No computers, TV wasn't on all day, no videos or DVD's. We went outside to play & Mum didn't see us all day.

I believe everything needs to go back to basics. Start with respect and manners and that starts in the home. These days a lot of children are basically raised by day care centers. If you want to have children stay home for a few years with them and give your children a good start in life.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances. beware the conversations centred around health, relatives in trouble, money.

I have Three Wishes and Two of them are achievable. One: Getting rid of the Scandal-plagued Morrison Federal Government - The Sports rorts, The Car Park rorts, The Extra-marital affairs (Adultery) by both Women and Men, the endless Lies, the subservience to the USA and US-inspired Confrontation towards China. To rid ourselves of the most Divisive, most Dishonest, Racist Government we will need to elect large numbers of Independents to control both Houses. That way they can force whichever minority government - be it Coalition or ALP is irrelevant for they are both as bad as each other. Two: To rid ourselves of the current Inept, Dishonest State Liberal Government of South Australia and, as with Canberra, elect large numbers of Independents to control both Houses of the SA Parliament and force the minority government - be it ALP or Liberal is irrelevant because one is as bad as the other - to act in the Interests of All SA citizens and not just their mates. Three: To declare Australia Neutral - we can, and should, be friends with all, as we used to be until the Morrison Federal Government handed Australia over to the USA and then exacerbated the solvable problems with China by joining in with the USA's Policy of Confrontation.

There is a difference between abuse and discipline. l was a whipped, now that's abuse. A smack is a smack and quite often you will only smack them once or twice and never again.

I hope so this life is not the best at times . I wish there was no hell I do not want any one to go there. I do think there is a good and after life hoping for a good one and for others to

Old School? It is where your Teachers were only required to actually Teach you to Read, Write and do Arithmetic! They were NOT, as they are today by Lazy Parents, expected to actually bring up the children as well. Old School was when Parents taught their children Manners, how to behave but at the same time to ask endless questions which the parents should answer truthfully - no matter how awkward! To show respect towards others until that person shows they deserve none. Old School was when Parents made sure their children were fed before going to school and at least one of them was at home when their child/children got home from school. Where Parents - no matter their Race, Ethnicity, Religion - ensured their children actually went to school. Old School is a combination of what Parents, Children and Teachers should do. Today far too many Parents think the Teachers should do it all.

There are lots of misinformation out there I believe, masking up protects you from airborne particles what ever germs they are, especially covid germs it may be even save you from inheriting covid, and you are in trouble, I KNOW THIS I lost a dear friend because of covid. So Mask up you people

I sure do. I love bonsais. I had several but had to get rid of them when we moved from WA to VIC. I will start again someday when we are settled in one place. I also love crocheting. I have quite a collection that I will sell when we can have some sort of market stall. Hopefully things will get back to normal so that it can happen.

Let's hope that COVID-19 kills off all the anti-vax morons so that their childish ignorance is removed from the world.

my opinion, backed by English as it is written, Zing, is you have not shown a plural by putting in an apostrophe. as for Banks., Banking CEOs' emoluments... it's what the market says it needs. Credit card interest rates reflect the risk. Those risks now are greater with computer generated rippings-off. oh and it's your not you're... you're means you are. and too not to re CEOs. Banks are heading for the cashless society. It started with EFT-POS in NZ in September 1984, for those who remember, or in my case were involved. Criminals have already spotted that cash won't be king, it's time the honest citizens spotted it, too. Never waste a good crisis. Banks used Covid-19 as the excuse to close branches. You can't beat Banks.. so buy shares in them and stop moaning.

All insurance is too expensive. Whenever they can, most insurance companies will try to get out of paying. The nature of the game.

Teachers educate kids, parents raise kids. There is some crossover but both have their roles in creating decent humans. Kids learn from each other as well.

The main cause of all our problems is overpopulation.There are only so many recources on this planet.There is only so much drinkable water and land to grow food.And no matter what enviromental policies you put in place,more people cause more pollution..The only way out of it is srict worldwide birth control.Maximum 2 children per family

I have a mobile phone but rarely use it.It's therre for emergencies. Just go out to a nice restaurant and see the people texting someone on the other side of the table. Think it's the height of ignorance to use phone at the table when dining out unless you work for an emergency service. Drs, nurses, ambulance or police etc.

Everybody seems to think that it will be over soon...it probably won't...let's worry about the present and the next couple of years

We will see the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer while politicians will tell more lies

It depends on the award and how hard you worked for it. I was awarded the Howarth and Howath Prize (correct spelling) for Financial Management 3B. I had not studied economics or accounting in school and so picked it up at uni as a mature aged student. My closest challenger was a lad who was working for his dad's accounting business and was an entitled turd. I was working in the fishing industry at the time. We both went into the exam with a score of 96% and I scored 99% on my exam. I still smile at this because the students had no idea who I was and had their noses out of joint that their silver spoon boy didn't win. One for the working class!

For those of you shopping in Australia electricity cost has risen by 40% over the last two years because the Government is hell bent on going to renewable power generation and on last nights news they said it will go up at least 24% IN THE COMING YEAR. This drive to renewables is going to cost a fortune and it feeds through all levels of production. In Qld they just built a battery storage to capture home Solar generated power that would otherwise go to waste, it cost $200million and if called on in a blackout it will last from 2 - 4 hours and if not called on then if the batteries are charged then the power will still go to waste. So maybe the Supermarkets are ripping us off but price increases are being fueled by this mad rush to renewables when there are much cheaper sources of power that don't only work when the sun shines or the wind blows. I'd like to mention that the two major Supermarkets are US owned, maybe we should think about getting them back into Australian hands. Your Superannuation, $4.5trillion is mostly invested in overseas countries, have you seen the movement in the $A v $US in the last week or so, almost a 4% improvement, that equates to a 4% loss in those funds?? could do much better here if we put our mind to it.

every year its different but this year my little grandson Nova, and he lost a tooth yesterday because it was Christmas the tooth fairy left 20 dollars ,i was in good spirits but anyways after the unwrapping session this morning ,he asked what did Santa bring me, I told him I had been naughty and Santa didn't come, he put on a frown and went into his room to look at his prezzies i thought ,but he came back with his tooth fairy money so i could have a present, I was so impressed and proud i went down to the servo to get him some ROBLOX credit cost me 15 i gave that to him then he said i could spend 10 dollars of that 20 and give him 10 back so he doesn't upset the tooth fairy, so now i owe him 10

It would be great except for if you get sick and need more room and a place close to amenities (hospital, doctor, medical help).

It is called MATERIALISM (aka CAPITALISM). Have we gone crazy? YES! Hopeful fossil fuels do not run out during my lifetime - since Earth is the only planet we CAN live on - LOL!

NO I don't trust AI It gives out too much false information too easy to hack Easier for scammers costs jobs

People are broke because they do not live within their means. They've become addicted to NOW NOW NOW and with technology this allows for impulses to be capitalized upon...over and over again. People are slaves to debt and work....thus...slaves to over-consumerism because they say they "deserve" things. Which is insane.

This is great! Thanks Lachelle. At last, someone has posted something worthwhile on here. I've been surveying since Aug '22 and am surprised that I am learning things from all of these comments. Please everybody, keep the comments / info coming - it all helps.

Getting along with anyone is 'Mind over Matter' if you think about it. We could ALL get along Anywhere and Everywhere on the earth if people would just make up their mind to do so. How do you think Jehovah's Witnesses get along so well? We're all imperfect people. The difference is we follow Jesus' example while on earth, and follow the examples given in the Bible, overlook small hurtful things that happen, talk to the person about large hurtful things, and forgive them all! Is it easy? NO! But it's required to live or work happily with family, friends or acquaintances, and it's required by our God, Jehovah! ;-D

no. Passwords would be useless. Although if it was just how it was from day one. I don't think anyone would be able to comprehend what it would be like. So I was saying they're out there to get us with all there smart gadgets, Phones, Watches, Glasses, ear plugs the list goes on. The elite are trying to achieve being able to read their peasants thoughts still it may be here soon. Maybe our Neo robots will be able to do it if the smart earbuds can't.

The book I remember the best is a Golden Book titled: 'Pokey Little Puppy'. I don't know why I remember it so well, except that the 'puppy' was very cute! ;-D

The government simply needs to make it illegal to own more than the one house you actually live in. It would solve numerous such issues.

Be that rebel without a cause .. it's you and you alone who deals with the outcome . Take advice if you like it , or leave it if you don't .Find your tribe , have fun ,live life the way you want to do it without it adversely affecting others wherever possible. Just be true to your own morals and follow your heart. You were put on this earth as your 'Self ' so how can it be selfish to live it as you ?

I have a cat, he has his own bank account.. I put in $10 a month. If he needs a vet I hope he has enough in his bank account. If he never needs one, he can spend it on anything he needs !

I remember the Instamatic Camera (Kodak) and the Polaroid Camera (Polaroid) in the USA - in the 1960s - the first selfies in the USA started by the Silent Generations and pushed to new heights by the Baby Boomer Generations

I think the little bunny that runs across the screen is cute. I dislike ads but okay with the bunny.

Strictly depends on the situation and whether you are a firm believer in giving individual(s) 'second chances'! In family matters - NO! In personal relationships - depending on 'how much' trust between the two of you was violated - MAYBE. In the political world or criminal world - NEVER! In trivial matters (of no importance) - YES! I don't believe in 'second chances' per se, unless I am the lucky recipient of a second chance (LOL)!

I have a large woolen stuffed rat - many years old - that I stick a large pin into every time I get frustrated with rewardia - helps the sanity - but I swear to you the rat smiles at me each time I stick a pin in it.

It is easy to not use water if you just think a bit. Yes, the makers of automatic dishwashers try to convince you that they use less water than Hand washing but then they would wouldn't they? They are trying to sell them. Do you really need to Pre-Rinse dishes before putting them into that Water and Energy sapping machine? Do you Really need to have your dishes sterilised? Do you really need to have them heated to boiling point to dry them? The answer is: NO. We wash our dishes ONCE a day, by hand and we use, at most 8 litres of water and enough Energy to have the Water at about 45C.

family love is the best treatment one can have . Yes money is everything, but does not buy love. I have a friend who needs help every week for his appointment Make it my mission to take him to his appointment and bring him back home for love.

why when I get email offers for 500 bonus for completing Lime surveys there no Lime surveys available ? Do you also experience this ?

I guess they need the energy and motivation to do all the activities. I know that running around at the park and shopping exhaust my kids.

enjoy them no matter what because they will be grown and gone sooner than you think. that time will only go fast once you realise they have their own lives/families

Does the world have a wellbeing problem - YES - in 'real time' known as - economic and social inequalities, public health emergencies, wars, climate crisis, etc. FYI: In the country I reside - USA - we are exposed to too much to DONALD JOHN TRUMP on television and on online - just hearing his names on the news on an ongoing daily basis creates negative emotions at historical high levels in the USA.

Well that can happen when the person is alive too. My Mum doesn't remember what she had for dinner the night before but remembers growing up during the war and being bombed out twice. Her short term memory is like non existent but she can still play a mean game of scrabble. Some times we don't listen to the important things because life gets busy or it not quite the right time, don't dwell on that. Mistakes happen and we have to get on with life but make sure you allow your self to grieve too. Go through his photos and remember him lovingly. After all he was your Dad. Don't hate a day because of the commercialism where it's all about spending money, Father's Day can mean so much more if you just put in a little imagination. Go for a picnic or have a nice lunch, go for a walk and reminisce the Dad you had. Sorry for your loss and he lived a long time and I am sure he had a great life. You are apart of his legacy. Remember him fondly in the things that make you unique.

Check the label! Here in Canada, the law says that the manufacturer must declare how flammable a garment is. Look for the fire code on the garment. I don't know where you are "hearing" all these complaints but they are quite probably bogus. What does a jacket have to do with someone going missing? If they had a different kind of jacket they would never, ever disappear? And "The Human Torch"? What was that person doing so carelessly around a fire in the first place? These examples sound like a conspiracy theory because some misguided 'influencer' doesn't like the style of jacket.

always recycle, reuse, pass to someone else. i do it with clothes, shoes and other things. while my recycling is not 100% i certainly try my best. i also use other, water system for bathroom, use recyclable kitchen towels in addition to my paper towels, to reduce my use of paper. i only buy clothes i know i need, use clothes i have until they need to be recycled. i donate ones that are still in good condition to people who may need them and cannot afford them, same with shoes. i do my best not to just throw things away. i am working towards minimalistic use of things in general but to be honest i find it challenging still.

Sent my siblings and I out for the day with no supervision. We would go to the pool or ride bikes to the other end of town, play in creeks, disused tunnels, climb a tree and stay there for hours. All sorts of crazy things.

Humans aren't the problem. Inherited sin through our original parents because of disobedience, listening to Satan, the Devil, is the problem, and from the beginning God has told us in the Bible what that caused, what will fix the problem, but not exactly when. Only God knows when it will happen. Read Matthew chapter 24. We know from the signs of the end recorded in the Bible that we are living in the last days. Soon the Great Tribulation will occur, then Armageddon, them a Paradise Earth, as God purposed it to be! I'm waiting as patiently as I can, without any doubt! Read Isaiah 45:18 in the Bible. I'm just a messenger. You can agree to disagree, or you can read the scriptures I've suggested to find the Truth! ;-D

Wow that's the best looking boxed frozen fish fillet I think I have ever seen! And I don't even like it. Companies would be floundering in the water without the strange powers of advertising.... The money or the box? .. hmmm

People grieve in different ways for their animal companions. If you feel you can\u2019t work then yes take the day off. If you can\u2019t take sick day or take the day out of annual leave. Take leave without pay.

Advantages are minimal in comparison to the disadvantages and we are seeing more of those occurring in the younger generation who have really only lived a digital existence. Social media has become the mum, dad, nanny and companion to many children who are unable to live without their smart phones and without their online "friends". But the Big Tech companies knew what they were doing when they developed these platforms and now you have SM like Tik Tok which is targeted at the below 18 years population and owned by a company run by the CCP, which fills me with confidence that they have our best interests at heart, and the algorithms are not just causing terrible addiction in this age group but the kids don't know that their brain chemistry is being changed and rerouted and they can no longer concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. Their brains are still developing and I am strongly against social media for youth under 18 years old. But the worst part of social media is the "social contagion" aspect with the way it is redefining what gender means to children enmasse and the uptick in online bullying leading to more children than ever before suiciding because of bullying occurring outside of school and in their own homes. Just a couple of weeks ago a 10 year old child killed himself because of being bullied. As a child who was bullied badly at school in the 1970's and early 1980's I at least could get away from the bullies once I left school for the day. Social media has provided a way for bullies to have 24/7 access to their victims and that's just terrible! If you weigh up the negatives and positives of social media I don't think that the benefits outweigh the negative impact that it has had on us globally. The only people who truly benefit are the owners and shareholders of these massive corporations and the kids are suffering due to their power and global influence. There needs to be more restrictions on its usage by our kids. Thanks for reading.

No but as they have an international Women's Day then maybe they should have an International Men's Day. Then don't forget all the other genders that are out there! I agree - way too many "days". Let's just celebrate and respect each other and have peace in the world.

I know that it is hard for single mothers to stay home to look after their sick children but it is not fair to other children who are open to catching the sickness. I don't know the answer!

I am female and have never desired to be other than the way God created me. I was born from a Union of Two People, One Male and the Other Female and yet many have called me feminine man or \u201cshemale\u201d a coin word I hate and know that that are the feminine men and \u201cshemales\u201d. Now to your question. I am 68 years old and believe me I do not age but slowly will age for aging comes to all who walk and talk and live a life filled with love and caring and always ready to help others in need. My home is far away and I must return or many will suffer the fate of extinction and many more will cease to become flesh and live life on this plane. Earth must be cleansed and many must not live for all desire to have things they really have not much use for and all desire to live long lives and many will not live long merely 20-50 years and even maybe 75 years more on this planet. Man seek clothes, designer pants, designer dresses and are men and wear panties and wear brasseries and wear skirts with slits from waist to ankles and wear makeup to hide beards that come through at night when asleep and even when not asleep and even during the daylight hours. What fallacy that man have acquired to have others like me born female with female organs and female genitalia and female chest and no hormones ever taken by me. The world believe I am a pervert because I have chosen not to paint my face and not to wear perfume that masks body odor and not to speak as if I am not college educated or older than the very state that I live in which is Pennsylvania which is only 247 years old and even my best friend from High School say and has said she is younger than I and according to the Bible and I quote the passage, \u201clet all who lie and say they are young and are old will not live and will die a quick and ugly death\u201d for GOD Hates the liar and GOD Hates the thief and GOD Hates the man who wears dresses and wears brassiere and wears frocks to hide his penis and wears makeup and wears underpants with his penis tucked under and stretched and put hard in his backside. Most evil all, and I believe I have angered many but many have angered me and I AM GOD who have dictated these words to my chosen child and her name is Pamela Angela Mason and she loves ME and I AM GOD THE CREATOR WHO CALL all and many have chosen not to hear and still many have chosen not to live and still even many more have chosen not to believe that my chosen one is good or even smart or even have worked and saved and invested and created vaccines and babies that are beautiful and my own as well as their mother and I am Wesley George Henry, Jr. The SON of GOD and my FATHER is the ONE WHO SENT ME into this World many years ago to bring man and all back to HIM and I have tried to do just that and I HAVE FAILED where many are concerned and yet my chosen believe I AM GOOD and SMART and HAVE NOT FAILED WITH her nor her children who are MINE as well and so WE LEAVE Planet Earth for her HOME Far Far Far Far Away and then onto to MY Planet which is exactly 1821604882704010o11227633010o11622301o11402121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144145146147148149150151152153154155156157158159160161162163164165166167168169170171172173174175176177178179180181182183184185186187188189190191192193194195196197198199200201202203204205206207208209210211212213214215216217218219220221222223224225226227228229230-999 and 100,000 light years away and I GO.

This is just silly...that is fake but i bet they will start selling and then the real silliness will follow

Everything in moderation is good. Sometimes we crave certain foods because our bodies need some nutrients that they contain .

As a child I was horrified to be told that our dogs were being fed horse flesh. Rabbits were the main protein food of many working class people during the Great Depression and on holidays as child I often hunted with my father for a "bunny" for dinner when we camped on a dairy farmer's property. Depending on circumstance and how desperately hungry I was I might try anything that looked like food from whatever source if that need arose.
