The government and banks should just let the market crash normally so prices of houses can go down. This fake businesses of propping up the housing isn't good for people trying to buy their first home. It's only helping those with investment properties.

Do children and teenagers need to be more cyber-safe - YES (quite obviously). However, this is strictly the responsibility of a PARENT(S) - law enforcement becomes involve after the damage is done to a child or a teenager - the parent responsibility is to stop the problem before damage is done to a child or a teenager - (because we all know predators are everyone - especially online - and predators prey on the weak and/or unaware!!!!!!.)

I think Christmas should be spent however you want. If hosting a dinner is it then by all means. The stress can be alleviated by turning it down a notch or two.. It doesn't have to be elaborate.

Linda C
If different traditions enter through new family members what is wrong with that. You can keep yours and just add theirs. We are all immigrants or ancestors of immigrants. We used to be mainly English traditions which did not suit our climate anyway. I never saw snow until my teenage years, so a snow scene scenario is not my tradition. A roast in Australia during 30 plus degree temps. is just ridiculous so a BBQ or beach setting with seafood etc. became the rule for us although many still keep up the UK traditions. Each to their own. It is basically all about family isn't it?

Thomas (Rewardia Support)
Thank you for bringing this up! It's a great question, and it's important for us to clarify the difference between the Forum and our Activity sections (like Daily Polls, Trivia, and Recipes).
Forum Topics: When you post a topic here in the Forum, it is published immediately and available for discussion right away.
Activity Submissions (Polls, Recipes, etc.): Submitting a Daily Poll or a Recipe through the specialised form sends it to our content management team for review. It is not published immediately.
Our moderators decide whether to publish a submission based on several key factors:
1. Originality and Repetition
We have already published over 3,000 Daily Polls, and we try hard not to repeat them. You would be surprised how often we receive the same questions like, "What's your favourite colour?" or "Which actor played James Bond best?"
To keep the Activity section fresh and engaging for all users, including new members, we prioritise submissions that offer original and unique ideas.
2. Topic Appropriateness and Engagement
The content team also considers the following:
- Audience Fit: Is the topic relevant and interesting to our core audience? (For example, questions about studying at home might not be suitable for an older demographic.)
- Depth and Engagement: For submissions like a "Discussion" topic, a single, short sentence like "What do you think about electric cars?" is less likely to be published. We prefer submissions where the user has provided context, a personal story, or detailed thoughts to spark a real conversation.
3. Submission Quality (Especially Recipes)
For Recipes, we have a strict requirement: we only publish submissions that include illustrations, such as photos of the finished dish. It's even better if the photo was taken by the recipe author! Unfortunately, most of the recipe submissions we receive have no photos at all.
In conclusion, we genuinely look forward to your new Daily Polls, Discussions, and Recipes! Beyond the excitement of having your contribution read by hundreds or thousands of people, we also award 1,000 points for every submission we publish.
If you have sent something in the past that was not published, I sincerely apologise. It may have been a fantastic idea but was either too similar to something we'd already run or, sadly, it may have been lost in our archives.
Please keep the great submissions coming!

Proof is coming to light that the lockdowns, mask wearing, social distancing and vaccines have made little difference to the spread of this cold like virus. What they have done, however, is increased the number of suicides, deaths from respiratory diseases, destroyed families and businesses, and left many, many people with either chronic or fatal side effects from the vaccines. The handling of the entire pandemic is under question and if anyone is still thinking it was all for our own good, then good help them all. Oh, and don't get me started on EXCESS DEATHS globally. As well as the increase of cancers and auto immune disorders. The plan for agenda 2030 was only achievable if the global population was decreased by 7 and a half billion. As far as I can see, they've began there plans to achieve this number.

Duh! Do not use Uber or Door Dash.

Our local Turkey Hill gas prices drop by a penny a day and have ever since Harris opened her big mouth to bad-mouth Vance and Trumpy! The reason for the high Uber prices? The Uber drivers are fixing their own 'guesstimated' rates! Too many of us are just plain too damned lazy! You drive to a gym and exercise for an hour and then drive home again or to work!

There is Climate Change and Plastic Pollution, with some scientists saying the latter is every bit as dangerous for it is finding its way into the Food Chain and, a bit like Heavy Metals such s Copper Chlorophyl, once in our bodies it never, ever can be renoved.
So why not resolve to stop using Household Plastics such as Gladwrap, Clingwrap and use either Waxed or Greaseproof paper? Stop using Bin Liners. Is it really so hard to hose out the big bins? Wrap Food Scraps in old newspapers and Freeze until Garbage Day. Most Supermarkets have Service Delicatessens and now you are allowed to bring your own, Washed, containers instead of everything being wrapped in huge Plastic Bags? All it takes is a bit of effort to start with and then it becomes a habit. Shopping Bags? You do know that those so-called Green bags are just more plastic? We can buy Cotton ones which can be tossed in the laudry every now and then to keep them clean and nice for the Checkout staff to use.

One, your memory doesn't serve you correctly, the first president to take the USA off the gold standard was FDR in 1933. Two, you are deliberately confusing personal debt with the debt of a country (a stigma comes with personal debt - not the debt of a country). Three, every 'country' on this planet has debt (including Saudia Arabia, Kuwait and China - supposedly the three richest countries on the planet). Four, not any countries have enough gold (in reserve in their country) to cover its debt (including China, Saudia Arabia, or Kuwait). Five, if the world economy went back to the gold standard, the world economy would immediately go into chaos (and a full-scale depression). Six, you 'never' hear international banking firms, international accounting firms, international law firms, or international think tanks (firms), etc. advocating for a return (back to) the gold standard. Seven, your plan will only work if you are advocating for ANARCHISM. Eight, cryptocurrency is a digital currency designed to work as a medium of exchange on a computer network that is not reliant on any central authority, such as a bank or government - to uphold or maintain it - aka a 'SCAM' on the streets of USA (in rough neighborhoods). Last, cryptocurrency 'only' works if you are 'gullible and greedy' - it is not a long-term viable solution to replace a monetary system that doesn't work (anymore 'except' for the benefit of the rich or the super-rich) - aka CAPITLISM.

This is a pet subject of mine, I’ve been in the plumbing business for over 50 years and in that time I have seen strange articles stuck in drains
Often children put toys in the loo and in England there was a man at the water treatment station employed to look for still births. One really common article was a sanitizer that hung on the rim of the loo. It was just small enough to disappear from sight but never went any further. The clear water could pass but solids would accumulate . I must have cleared hundred out over the years until they made them bigger

My parent used to argue by appointment, Dad was one of those "yes dear" husbands who never wanted to rock the boat, but they were able to show affection even after 50 odd years marriage.

First up, Put Away that damned phone and speak to the Person who is serving you. Make them feel they are appreciated. There is almost nothing more Rude, more degrading of a person's self-esteem if you are simply ignoring them and chattering nonsense on your phone at the top of your voice.

You are there just to do his bidding whether it be cooking, cleaning, physical or financial. Get some respect and leave or if it is your place ask him to leave immediately.

If you have a partner why don't one of you stay home and look after your own children? I, and I think many others as well, get sick to death of hearing parents complaining about the cost of Childcare, that it should be Free - which simply means that other Taxpayers - some of whom have chosen not to breed - are expected - or rather it is considered their Duty - to pay for the rearing of other people's children.
If you want children then make up your minds to bring them up yourselves and put up with the inconveniences BUT do Not expect others to do it for you. If you are not prepared to rear your own children then don't have any - there are far too many people in the world already so that could be part of your contribution to addressing Climate Change!

When I was 15years & 10months old, I met the man who was to become my husband. I actually asked him if we could get engaged as he was due to go in the Army & do his 2 years national service. I waited till he came out of the army so when I was 18 years & 1 month, we had a white wedding which was a dream of mine. This coming September we will have been married for 62 years. We have had our "ups & downs" as they say but we have always been able to sort them out. If I had my way again, it would be exactly the same except for a bit more travelling than what we have done. I have been disabled for the past few years & he has become my carer. He now does the cooking whilst I sit at the table & do the food preparation. We work as a team & always have done.
