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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes I have, twice. I took it very seriously because you are making a decision on someone else's life/situation. Unfortunately some people were more interested in getting home than making the right choices. I take pride in saying I stuck to my beliefs and acquitted a young man accused of wrongdoing. The judge was pleased with the verdict. I was very proud of the decision and outcome. Not everyone is cut out for this service but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I think that would be amazing. Just like the sewing machine when I was a kid. You pedalled it to sew no electricity. Let\u2019s bring it back

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

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

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

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

considering no one has been there, then NO...Ask yourself..Has anyone been to the moon??? Since apparently 1969. Ask yourself this. Who filmed that moon walk? LOL LOL LOL . I am on a fence here

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RIGHT!! I have a bow and arrow It's not a cupid's bow... Heard rustling in my local woods Of another bear who thought he could?? He sure has some clout sashaying about . Is he friend is he foe? Does he really not know One Bear rules these woods And as an archer she's Good ! So posting here the deed Seeking this rogue bear's identity ... Been frequenting the Bingo Hall While wearing no pants at all Scratching up around the trees Naming himself Mr Humphrey B.!!

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

Just wasted my time on LI-Q7MC5Y worth 1350 points. I spent 30 minutes on it and I was right at 96% of the survey (the progress meter was in full display), and then it told me I was screened out. No point contacting Support as they are useless. They will just write to tell you that yes they have checked with the survey company and you do not qualify. Why let me go through the whole survey then?

Oui oui!! Said with great gusto as it's always unexpected. Have completed and received tasty points for 2 this very week. "Celebration Time Come on!".

Apropos your last sentence I heard today the new abbreviation is “mpox”. A few years ago I heard of a woman who was mortified when she found out the LOL she put on a “with sympathy” card did not mean “lots of love”.

Its a tricky one...you don't just know more now...you are probably quite a different person too...I don't know how I would get on with myself when I was 23....radically different to now....your life experiences have contributed a lot to who you are at the moment...if you tinker in the past you will be different in the present...its all connected and hopefully a learning experience

Yesterday's 30 point bonus for playing Drop and Merge was a rip off. I'm 71 and need a hip replacement, but even I don't have over three hours to spend trying to get an extra 30 points. At one stage I gained 1168 points ( not that far off the leader board and it gave me 2 points! This is just plain ridiculous and I have written and told them so - especially as I stuck it out until I had 31 points and they didn't credit me with the bonus today! First time I've commented on here but that is just plain ridiculous. Like recently when they offered 300 points if you gained 1000 points on Blue surveys in a 36m hour period and there were NONE.

It's like everything else in nature, it changes. Some years we have lots of snow or frosty mornings. Some years we have lots of rain. Years of droughts and years of floods. Look back at history and you'll see Egypt had droughts then floods. It's just a natural cycle. However, when it comes to damage that is purely due to population. We have always had hail storms. I have photo's of me as a child holding huge hail stones, but back then there wasn't much damage. About 6 years ago a hail storm went through and our house fared pretty well but a new suburb that had just popped up and had 4 houses per quarter acre instead of 1 copped it badly. All you could see was blue tarps over roofs, and they were there for months with not enough tradesman and insurance companies trying to assess the damage. The storm was no worse than usual but there were far more homes than previously.

we had an outdoor spa and had to do the same thing, the cost was getting ridiculous, so we pulled it out and filled it in.

In the 1950s and 60s we used to listen to the Saturday football (what is now AFL) on the radio. We thought all our Christmases had come at once when it was played – of course in black and white - on television.

Embarrasing..i was rushing to get a workvisit kit and left the Hospital car with the brake off- came back and it had rolled into a handrail. ThankGod it didn't hit anyone. Also left handbrake off when rushing our newborn pups into vets for checkup. Dented car and didn't want to tell hubby and managed to sneak it to panelbeaters and get it back next day fixed without him knowing. Er there's been a few other handbrake incidents too. I try to avoid parking on hills or slopes these days.

As a motorbike rider, all drivers are the devil to me/us.. I am highly trained and always ride within my limits. I ride to the conditions. If I overtake or pass, I do it quickly and with great thought. I do not want to be anywhere near cars or trucks. Of couse this is said in hindsight, but bike riders know what I am talking about.

Last year I was wandering through Coles supermarket and saw a Stingray plant. It has big green, glossy leaves which are round with a long green tail - just exactly the shape of a Stingray. I just had to have it.

I am 88 & on the way to not remembering everything but I am making the most of what I have while I can

Lollies, a BIG bag of Mixed Lollies. I am strong willed and can resist buying them but once open the pack just like magic poof, they disappear!

All these rap songs are so hard to understand or full of anger or foul language. Some may like it but who remembers any of these so called songs. Many of the 60's music is still played everywhere these days. Some are classics. There are a few songs these days which are good but it seems a lot are sung with nasally whiney voices and again hard to understand. If it is not sung in this fashion then we have to put up with women dressed skimpily and gyrating across the screens. I do not think there is much talent being shown

"I get knocked down...but I get up again...you're never going to keep me down!...I get knocked down...." if I'm feeling down that is the one to play at full volume.. ..and "strange days indeed"...by John Lennon

Hi Mary. I would like to confirm that these results above 1000s lines are real. It is not an in-game time cheating or sort of Some members are really love this game and play for two, three or even four hours. They are keeping this game in the separate tab in browser, so can take a pause, drink coffee etc. after that get back to the game

They are almost always wrong. My dogs actually act funny right before we get the bad weather, as of lately I tend to depend on my dogs for bad weather. Weather stations are usually way off or the weather starts before their predictions.

I've never won anything big but I was grateful for small wins which came along when I could really use it. I know one person who won a large amount, she thought her own crap didn't smell. I'm the luckiest woman anyway, three grown kids and two beautiful grandkids. Survived breast cancer.

I do, but not as much as before. The secondhand shops keep raising their prices, and sometimes not worth the price.

it is our perception of time that changes. you feel time is "flying by" as you get older. go back to your early years, ie about 6 to 10 years of age. your birthday, christmas, school holidays, easter, they all seemed to take forever to get there. it is all your age perception. ask a person in a convalescent home who lay in bed all day, bet their time goes very slowly

Ha no. I remember doing all those life skills at school, but it still didn't compromise on other subjects. The amount of teens and adults I've worked with in recent years who can't do basic maths in their heads to work out the correct change to give was beyond shocking. I see that as (what should be) primary school level. I think that needs to be addressed. Also all the short hand texting is not helping with spelling and grammar.

Never faster than time, and from your own perspective you would still age, but the universe around you would have accelerated greatly.

I live in Australia and have done a lot, I’d still love to do cage shark diving in port Lincoln. Iv been stood up by a kangaroo and that’s an experience and a half. Held a tarantula, kept a kookaburra and reptiles as pets. I’d like to travel and see snow, but I love Australia to pieces and will always call it my home

I worked in a Nursing Home, where I witnessed an AIN pushing over a resident, calling him a stupid old man. I went straight to the Deputy to report it. She told me that I should be nice to this girl, because she was having a hard time at home. I was absolutely shocked that this could not only happen, but there were zero repercussions for someone who was supposed to be giving care to the frail, elderly residents.

During cold weather my knees ache. Rarely both and walking is painful. I usually put on the stretch supports and this helps. Yet this cold weather my knees are fine. I have had one dry eye for a year now. I have tried many drops. Just recently I tried another more intensive drops recommended by the Pharmacist. I thought this is great my first night went very well. Next night I awoke with the same problem. Not as bad but who knows tonight. It is horrible when the whole eyelid sticks to the whole eye ball. Scary especially when it impairs your vision. Getting old is not pleasant.

Now they are going to ban Vapes which are giving people the chance to come off cigarettes to vapes. I was a smoker for many years and thanks to Vapes I have weaned myself off nicotine after only 3 years of vaping. I still vape but use no nicotine in the liquid.

Haha, it's simple really, It depends how much revenue the various states need. For example, if not enough people break the speed limit at 110 then reduce it to 100 etc.

How can something "LIve" be dead? When we first got our TV, in the olden days, mainly used it for entertainment ie watching the flicks. It is not a member of our family like pets are. It is our servant to meet are needs which is not as luxurious as some. hank goodness for free to air it still serves us well.

We both worked til I decided to chuck in my job because I was sick of daycare spending more time with the kids than us. I was also earning more as a labourer than my partner in the foundry. I never wanted a night out clubbing and he stopped going to his Friday nights out with the boys after work. It wasn't about us anymore but our boys so our social lives were irrelevant. And he may wear the pants in the house but I'm the one that buys them! Lol!

Fax is big business rules. To take out big business never will happen as the government is with them for the money they give them in front or in the back money. If you don't like big business go to small business and start buying from them. The old saying is big business make war not peace

Wrinkles, gravity causing body parts to droop south, hopefully grandkids and a smile with a few missing teeth, say Cheese :)

I have syngenesophobia. I function (better) - alone and on the go (which is why I like traveling). In addition, have never called anywhere - home - just a place of residence - can not answer your QUESTION.

It can be good for your security but it can also be highly invasive. Care needs to be taken with your liberty. On a lighter side one time when we were in a holiday home my friends wife was on dinner duty when the power failed and the stove went off, she said bugger and just put it in the microwave....AND??? Lol.... I laughed so much she biffed a sausage at me. Too much reliance on modern technology can be hazardous...lol

does that same rational go for kids. If you have 2 kids and one is a doctor and the other is a dole bludger on drugs. Does that child no longer deserve to be called your child?

I can remember the feeling of satisfaction when we used to get paid in cash, kept a little for expenses, train or bus fares lunch money and paid board and the rest got put in the bank and it stayed in the bank. None of this direct deposit and losing track of how much gets withdrawn bit by bit for all and sundry to track where you spent what. I only use PayPal to receive survey payments and am quick to transfer it to a real bricks and mortar bank account. Don't like the way the banking system is heading with all the online no face to face person contact ... not knowing who of what purpose your money is being used as it accumulates a pitance in interest.

Stay home with your children, live within your means. If we didn’t try to keep up with joneses, appreciated the way our parents bought us up and appreciated that time that you miss from putting your children in care. Before you know it they are gone and you’re an empty nester. Why have children if you’re not going to nurture, and spend those precious years with them

I got my self esteem back after a broken marriage and then some bullying - no one pushes me around now.

It's what I call the 'kicking the dog' principle. If they are having a bad day, they'll take it out on whoever is nearby. I didn't work retail, but I worked a job as a cleaner during day hours. I encountered a lot of rude, nasty people. Just consider the source.

Just a thought, how many of you regularly check the air pressure in your spare tyre. A flat spare is the same as no spare..!!

A lack of intelligence and comprehension, add a poor vocabulary, as a good starting point ...then add a total lack of empathy, blind conviction and extreme arrogance...racial hatred is just the icing on the cake really...isn't it?...none of it is necessary and it makes me sad.

Food is tastiest when in season (that is why there are seasons). Preserving was invented so we could have fruit and vegetables out of season/stock up for winter/not waste a good growing season. I believe lots of gut issues and intolerances go further back than just today's preservatives. Best health information is, and always has been "eat everything in moderation". Unfortunately, when women are pregnant, they are told by "experts" not to eat this or that while they are pregnant and this is the first stop to helping the eliminated food become recognised as an allergen to the immune system of the forming foetus. These people then "breast feed" for the best of their child but still eliminate these foods for health reasons so, by the time the food is introduced to the child, the child's natural immune response is "this should not be in my body and needs to be attacked" (allergic reaction)

It’s OK but what they really need to work on is removing surveys that have been completed or disqualified

Tobacco and Alcohol do more damage but collect a lot of taxes - at least you'll get the tax going to the govt. instead of drug dealers. It is a complicated issue and deserves more than just a simple yes or no.

Not bothered. Models don't influence my decision to buy something because I know I look nothing like them and their products will still make me look nothing like them! Next.......

Rubbish! You need a bit of time to get your wits together and the best way to do that is to stay a normal as you can. Give yourself space to realise the enormity of it

If you HAVE to drink that much every night you most definitely have a problem and need to get help or be strong enough to not buy it in the first place.

I like the third one, but never wear these.

I made a similar dish to this last week. But I used tomato passata and beef stock, It was Delisiloso!

This page seems new thanks Rewardia for this space! At least we can let out our stress, objections and weird practices connected to surveys! \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\ude0a

My neighbor makes the best peanut butter popcorn! She gifts it to her friends! I recently treated her to a girl's day out, a movie and dinner, to get us both out of the house, and I ate so much theater popcorn! \ud83d\ude0b\ud83c\udf7f

Never heard of it. Sounds hilarious. We used to get hit with a wooden spoon as kids,can't imagine doing it to myself on purpose.but each to their own

I don't have a child or children. I don't give gifts to a child or children on Christmas Day (which is a pagan holiday). I was raised an agnostic and became an atheist. I didn't give or receive Christmas Day gifts as a child, and I don't give or receive Christmas Day gifts as an adult. La vie est une garce et ensuite tu meurs - La vie est courte - Pourquoi perde du temps avec des croyances religieuses stupides!

You shouldn't buy all that duty free booze and chocolates, then your luggage wouldn't be 2kg heavier coming home. \ud83d\ude09

Thanksgiving is an American tradition. Its not celebrated in any other western countries that I know of.

I usually eat my cauliflower raw...and I too like cauliflower...so, even though I'm a terrible cook, I might ( might being the operative word) try this...with a bottle of wine.

Don't even talk about moving! I hope I die where I'm living now, just so I don't have to deal with moving again!

We have private rooms for private messaging via Google.... people's pictures can be put up via their avatars and now added to things like their recipes and discussions or polls . These can either be personal photographs or taken from another social media source like pinterest or facebook or instagram ..all of which constitutes copying and pasting / sharing posts / uploading from one social media site to another ! We can like or comment on eachother's forum posts in the chats otherwise known as a thread ... Keeping safe online here is still very much warranted as are the rules for using other social media sites. Yes we have limitations here ,but there is live chat in the bingo room and the ability to share video clips from media sites along with putting up with a multitude of annoying advertising , people's mad misinformation and some trolls even .. yep I would most definitely call this a social media website ;)

1/2 CUP of sugar. Damn. And people wonder why they're sick and unhealthy. At LEAST use CANE sugar, something real and not "chemicalized" like WHITE sugar is.

I make butter chicken but I cheat and use Patak's paste, one tin of tomatoes an onion and coconut cream with naan bread and basmati rice. I'm not a very good cook so I cheat wherever I can.

Meh, swap out the eggplant (half my family is allergic) for some chicken or veal and it might work...

Moi j ai toujours eu des boulons de trop alors je posais la question si j avait oubli\u00e9 quelque chose.

Did a survey the other day took me about an hr and a half, kept thinking im gunna get booted out any min now....but no, got to the end 4684pts!!! never ever had that high pts before....

The two biggest money makers in a cafe are coffee and the soup of the day...no-one seems to care that they both cost very little make...you wanting to use several different milks would make the Barrista's job much more difficult..in a really busy cafe it would be a nightmare....I would hate to be doing that job now....it was a breeze when I did it....I enjoyed it..nobody needed all this crap in 1980...(why is that?) what happened to humans in the meantime to need all this extra stuff?...and who is supposed to pay for the extra work..stock and storage?...its not just the purchase price my friend...you are missing the point..it makes everything a lot more difficult... and more expensive

..... and I have tried and tried to get rid of their stupid invasive adverts popping up ALL the time on and over my screen trying to flog off their low cost junk to me. The more they do it the less likely I am ever going to spend 1 cent with them. The old story and saying is - You get what you pay for.

We have been able to do this with photos (without AI) for over 30 years...anybody who is skilled can do this in Photoshop...so what has changed recently?....little girls now spend hours photographing themselves.. pouting and vamping it up...with their new phones and post them all over the internet...and little boys have easy access to to these..and pornography....and also now have software that makes attaching heads to bodies so easy that every moron can do this to a reasonable level....what's changed?...technology...that's all...if you don't want your head attached to a naked body stop posting it everywhere... in multiple views. different lighting and angles.. online....easy to use.....you know it can happen...just wake up and pay attention....if they made the software illegal it would stop immediately...

I was all in a flurry to see what the buzz was about these new Azure surveys .. only to have my bubble burst. Blue .they are just ordinary ol blue, reinvented yet not one is 1000pts ,nor do they roll into a next one .. bah humbug I say !

Wow ,nothing so scary as that . The sleeping Arabs at Tehran airport with their turbans were a bit of a shock as an 11yr old from down under I would say ,, apart from that I was suprised in Fiji at having to say Bula ( hello) to everyone basically from the airport security ,cleaners ,police in their long skirts ... everyone! At first I was getting exhausted from it a bit . And they will eyeball you coming your way too so you don't miss the opportunity. Kids waving out of the buses with no windows iin them while you're driving next to them "Bula !" ,, When I got back here I missed it, I walked past someone in my own street ,they just looked down kept walking by .. usual city behaviours ..

Did not have a girlfriend when I lived with my mom (cannot answer your question). I became a runaway when I finished junior high school and when I started dating females - I never brought a female home to meet my mom because I never when back home.

No! Too much government control there. I don't trust any government, no matter where they are on the political spectrum, not to abuse power if they control everything. Throw a switch, and you can't buy groceries. Your BMI is too high so you cost the government too much in health care. No birthday cake for you! When another government hacks in, you are stuck. And let's not forget the Greek government a few years (5?) back. 10% off the top of people's accounts to help with the bail-out. No thanks, I'll want cash to pay for things when the network is down.

Well we Aussies don't like being told what's good for us especially re changes to our laws. After all in my whole life only 1 referendum got passed as ayes vote. Here we go again and I think it will be NO!

I love the kings English. Have you read the instructions on how to put something together from China.Oh my God. I see so many grammatical errors. Some of the sentences don't even make sense. Even with spell checker and grammar correction on Word, they still get it wrong. English is a beautiful language. God forgive those who trespass against us and deliver them from their grammatical errors. Go Matildas

no, i limit my intake a lot now, sick of everything going up. Also sick of do gooders raising prices of fuel, power, water, cigarettes, alcohol because its better for me or the planet. But if it make you feel better about your intake, roll your next burger up in a tight ball, and stick it up your bum!
