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.

As a lactose free person, I believe I am being overcharged for my coffee/latte as now I am being asked for an additional amount ranging from 50 cents to $1 to cover the soy or almond milk. However the cost of soy or almond milk at the supermarket is only 10 cents a litre more than normal or skim milk. My lactose free coffee/latte only requires a small amount of soy/ almond milk. So why should it be acceptable in our coffee loving society today to rip off those who are unable...

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...

How many different uses for Duct Tape can you think of? Have you used it for anything interesting?
blunder boy
i watched a guy wrap up a nasty cut with duct tape, not sure what the hospital thought but it did stop the bleeding... I have used it for flies and bugs and have several pieces hanging around the shed, also used it to remove splinters, pet hair, and lint from clothes and have often used it as a belt to keep my pants up is also a great insulator,

Now with all the devices we have, long distance friendships are super easy to achieve and maintain, but not too much just a few years ago. You know, people used to write letters in a paper with a pen or a pencil, and send those to the nearest postal office, those were called letters. Do you ever had a long distant friendship when the phones, internet and pc didn't exist? It last long? How old were you? Do you still writing letter?
Bluey
I had a Japanese pen pal about 50 years ago but after an earthquake never heard from her again. I currently write to a friend in America who hasn't got a computer but haven't heard from him for some time so will be writing to him very soon. Hope he is still around. There has occasionally been a gap in our letter-writing so I'm not too worried about it.

I was married twice, and my second ex is still a very dear friend of mine. I don t love him as a partner obviously, this was the reason we split up, but I still appreciate him a lot as a friend. Note we live in 2 different continents and our only contact is FaceTime every 3 weeks. He is very well-read, and I enjoy discussing topics like arts, movies, and politics with him. Our conversations are very enriching on both sides. What about you guys?
BLM
Were we friends during our marriage to each other - NO! We are friends - NOW, but we are NOT married to each other - it took decades to get too this point - as we both accepted responsibility for the demise of our marriage! Fortunately - for both of us, when we were married to each other - we did not have a child!

Should it be said that photographers and wedding planners should have a seat at the table at meal time? I know a lot of people don't offer to give them food, but I think it goes a long way and extremely generous to do so. What are your thoughts?

They are being paid to do a job, so why should the brides parents pay for food and drinks for them!!!

My husband & I have always made it important to buy each other a card on special occasions. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Day etc. We are now retired, cards are expensive & money is tight. We have kept all our cards over the years & now have them in a container so that on each special occasion we find time to go through our passed cards & recycle one to each give the other. There are many beautiful, meaningful cards & it is so nice to read them...

I have always recycled cards into gift tags, and yes you are correct - they are too expensive today and make the process of just sending someone a card, an awful one (when did cards get to be 10 dollars or more?!?! and that's without postage, lol).

Do you have a bunch of unfinished tasks from hobbies or other things, because you've either lost interest, hit an obstacle, something more important has come up or do you procrastinate? If you lose interest in a task do you complete it for the sake of completing it or do you drop it and move on leaving the task unfinished? What do you do to stay motivated with completing tasks?

Hi I was just doing a Survey where they had listed Continents, one of them was Oceania, I am pretty Sure that being Australian that i am offended (Ha). AUSTRALIA IS A CONTINENT NOT OCEANIA.

Australia is a continent which is part of the region of Oceania. It is the only country in Oceania that has the land mass to be a continent. There are only 7 continent in the world and Australia is one of them, although other country seem to call it the continent of Australia/Oceania, must be some new age thing.

Beware if you are 65 or more, don't bother with Coral Survey CO-9DASXS. I just attempted it, and the next question after I told them I was aged 71 was to to ask " what job did you do before you retired", or words to that effect. Well F@#$ them, I am still working at 71, and I resent the implication that being that age automatically means I am retired.

I spent the day at the VA hospital (Veterans Health Administration) in Boston yesterday with a friend who was having surgery and couldn t believe how clean it was and how kind and friendly everyone was. I was very impressed with their patient board which kept track of the stages he was in our veterans should always be treated with dignity.
Bugalugs
The VA Hospital isn't in Australia it is Boston USA.
Successive Federal, State and Territory Governments in Australia have been deliberately starving Australia's entire Health System of fundes for decades. It doesn't matter if they are from the Right or Left of politics. The Federal Government only wants to sqwuander untold hundreds of billions on Armaments and other Military equipment to "Protect Australia from foreign invasion" - they never actually tells us whom it is who is threatening Australia. The totally absurd thing about all this squandering of all that money, yes I know it is minuscule compared to the US and China, is that all of this equipment will be completely obsolete before any of it actually becomes operational! These absurd governments - since when does a country with just 26 million people need ONe Federal, 6 State & 2 Territory Governments?
All are now hell-bent on squandering even more billions on Space Exploration! As if they haven't, along with all the rest of the World's Politicians, made a big enough mess of our World without doing the same to others.
Spend all that money on Housing, Health and Education and stop warmongering. It is our Politicians and Religious Leaders who have been, and still are, responsible for All the Wars which have ever been waged.
Decent, Honest, Ordinary people want no part of those wars, yet they are the ones who are sent out to fight and die for the wars the politcians have deliberately, and are at present trying to create.

What's your most unusual paid job from the past ??
Tom S Qld
At a younger age, while I was still finding my feet - a glass bender. Yep, that was the job title.
Worked nights in front of a very large and very hot rotating furnace kiln. We had long poles and we reached into the flames and placed flat sheets of glass onto the molded seats, they went around inside the kiln and then rotated back into view, perfectly melted, molded and shaped. We then took them out and placed them to cool off.
It was quite complicated as there were 25 sheets of glass inside at any time. The molding seats came out with the glass and new seats had to be placed in and then new glass sheets had to be put onto them.5-man crew all working in harmony. If one man missed his task, then it would all stop.
On a good night we would shape 2000 glass molded ceiling lights.

I recently started doing surveys on Rewardia again after stopping for at least 6 months in protest of their pathetic rewards for doing surveys. I have since discovered that you can be wise in choosing the surveys so you are compensated more fairly. I would only do surveys of certain colours because they are worth 1000 points each and it tells you the survey duration so if it says 30 minutes, I just ditched it - $1 for 30 minutes of work is not worth it. But if it says...
Stu J
Fully agree with you - the thing that really bugs me is that sometimes you do a survey, complete all the the questions so that they have all your information then the site kicks you out and the survey says "closed by user" zero points awarded

I've noticed that more men think that a Platonic relationship between adult people (where one person is a gender that the other person is attracted to) involves an ulterior motive, while more women think that true friendships can exist without an ulterior motive. What are your thoughts?

It's the New year and the Misandry Campaign is, once again, off and running.
We hear, endlessly, about how Horrible, how Distrustful, how Devious, how Abusive, how Misogynistic men are. They are no longer allowed to express an opinion, they must never, ever dare to say they don't like some female, their clothes, their botoxed faces, artificially pumped up lips - the list of what men must not do and how cruel, unfeeling and hurtful they are is endless and on-going
BUT we never, ever hear, or rather are never allowed to hear that Females can be every bit as bastardly as any male BUT challenge them and they will claim they are "Exercising THEIR Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression"!
No apologies but Christina C's statement is typical misandrist nonsense, men are no more, nor less, likely to have ulterior motives than any woman.

I hope people are paying attention the survey rewards and NOT doing ones that offer ridiculous rewards for the time spent. This just encourages poor rewards for everybody. I have posted before that the general rule to see if the reward is at least fair is it shoukd equate to around $6 per hour. Of course there are better sites out there that pay more but that is a good starting point. Doing surveys for trivial amounts like the 2 green ones presently listed, one 10 mins for...

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.

Does anyone know if it is safe to compost those brown corrugated cardboard boxes that come with online shopping? I have lots of boxes that I would prefer to compost rather than chuck in kerbside recycling for collection. I know that bleached paper is a no no because bacteria doesn't like it as much but I've also heard that they use fumigation chemicals on some cardboard boxes (particularly those that cross borders) and then there are chemicals in dyes and maybe others that I'm unaware...

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

I have a very large backyard pool with all the required fencing and surrounds. The pool inspector visited our house, and it did not pass inspection because of a spindly, scraggy shrub outside the fence the first time that inspection cost $350, the final inspection we passed another $200 paid. We also replaced one fence that was deemed pool safe a few years ago, but is now longer deemed safe. We will have to pay to have the pool inspected all over again in 3 years time...

Have you ever felt completely drained in a close relationship - by a friend or a spouse? I did - it took me a long time to realise that all my energy is sucked out of me by a long time friend. His constant, unstoppable emotional battle with real or imagined dramas sucked my life-blood out of me. Tried to help him, felt sorry for him...too long. There was nothing I d do than completely stop the relationship with a heroic effort. Have you experienced something similar and if you did...

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

With all this Facebook, Ticktock, Rewardia chat etc people can write anything that can have profound effects on gullible minds. Construction of statements carefully manipulating fact and fiction, laced with emotive fear arousing baits. Is it free speech or free banter? Is freedom the right to do what we like/ what is freedom/ Does it come with a price?
Michelle S 553303
I wonder just how many people here on this forum are aware that since October 2021 that the Australian government can hack, quite legally, your social media accounts and alter and delete them for any reason whatsoever? It's called the Identify and Disrupt Bill which was passed at 2am on a Wednesday late in that month. Go and look it up on the Australian government website if you don't believe me. I was told this by my son who happened to be working with some Barristers who were visited by a man called Arthur, whom our previous female Premier in NSW had been in a relationship with at that time, just so people don't think I'm writing this with the view to commit some kind of fraud! I cannot watch MSM any longer because my research outside of this alleged "media sources" has led me to scientific research and resulting evidence leaving no room for me to conclude anything other than the following: that what is "news" content, at least as it relates to the"magic potion" killing and maiming people across the planet, is simply propaganda and theatre. I did not draw this conclusion without facts empirically derived from Researchers, Doctors and Scientists of many varied disciplines and I KNOW that my own government has lied and continues to lie about their own involvement in this charade. This is backed up in previously confidential documents detailing the Australian Military's involvement from decades ago of weaponising biological organisms through gain of function research and funding the same. I can say with clarity that freedom has never been SO under threat as it is now, not only because the government can come in and change your own words and remove them as they see fit, but because of the terms "misinformation" and"disinformation", but WHO decides this? I can see Big Tech's involvement but who among you are aware of the infiltration of WEF members, of whom Big Tech plays a leading role, in terminology used to discredit certain viewpoints. Just as the CIA coined the term "conspiracy theorist" to describe someone who thinks outside of the mainstream narrative and make them out to be "kooks", so too have Google, You Tube Twitter etc, who are all partners in this globalist agenda for a NWO where there will be no choices, no ownership of anything including your shoes, and certainly no privacy or freedom! If we lose the right to voice our own opinions today they will be gone tomorrow and NEVER return! If we don't want to live in a smart grid with cameras recording our every movement as it already is in China and adopt their credit score system, we all need to think about what it will be like for our children and THEIR children if we don't now say that enough is enough! Thanks for reading this.

I've noticed an increasing number of surveys (not just here) now want you to either download an app so they can track your online usage eg shopping etc or tv/ online video habits or want you to use a webcam. These are usually offering higher levels of rewards. I refuse to do any of these, as I find them way too intrusive, but was wondering how others feel about such activities. Are you ok with that sort of tracking or do you find it not acceptable?

Some people have a nightly before-bed ritual. Shower/bath, teeth, hair in rollers (am I showing my age, with that one?). herbal tea, or all or none of the above. I like to have a chamomile tea, a small slice of cheese and a few crackers, maybe a bit of fruit, if I'm feeling energetic - not usual - brush my teeth and occasionally clean my face with a cleanser wipe, say my prayers then hit the hay, usually between 10.00 and 11.00pm. What is your nightly routine?
WonkyandProud
I am alone and have depression and anxiety and no family. I do what I want when I want, but that doesn't fit into society. I might go to bed at 10 p.m. or 5 a.m. and sleep most of the day. I try to get my meds on time and eat once in a while. I hate routines. They were not made for me, but my counselors have been fighting me for years to get into a routine.

When I was a kid we learnt to cook, clean, sew, mend, and everything else by our parents. I guess if both parents are working they have some kind of excuse for not teaching their children, but that is just an excuse. I know society has more academically minded dropouts now than we ever did. Is it because they can't, or don't want to, find work?

What are your thoughts about "value" we can find anywhere these days? You would think that paying more equals getting better, safer and healthier products of higher quality, but is it always the case?
Bugalugs
No of course a Higher Price does not mean better value. Take a trip into one of those very up-market Department Stores and those dinky little Boutiques offering, supposedly Designer Gear, Exclusive Brands by Haute Couture Houses of Fashion. Grossly over Priced garments but ALL Made in China, India, Bangladesh and other slave-to super-low Income countries. We went in to one of those Department Stores, up the escalator and into the Women's Fashion Floor. There at the top of the escalator was a display of a well-know designer. Faded Jeans with selectively placed "Tears", Price? A not-so-cool $695.00! The top? It looked liked a woman's vest-cum-Tee shirt with a tiny single row of "lace" around the neckline. The price? An equally not-so-cool $435.00!
My female companion unbuttoned the top couple of buttons on her blouse to reveal an identical top with exactly the same single row of "lace". Price at the Local Market? $15.00. Our local Op Shop sells faded Levi Jeans with naturally worn, strategically sited holes - just like the Designer jeans at $695 for just $10! - I know this because they were my jeans! The only reason I was not still wearing them was because I don't think it is appropriate for Mature Age Men and Women to dress as if they were in their late teens! Brand, Price and Designer Labels mean Nothing.

I remember we used to play cricket on the street and as long as we were home by dinner my parents would be happy, Unfortunately these days children are more likely to be inside on their tech devices instead enjoying time outside. What is your favourite childhood memory?

Playing hopscotch on the pavement outside our house, and rambling through the bush at our holiday shack. Finding unseen caverns and playing in them.

Is it just me, or do people think that Gladys needs to grow a set, and enforce harsher rules in order to get the Covid outbreak in Sydney under control, before she is responsible for a catastrophe for the rest of Australia.

Being the head honcho in NSW is hard,your in no way going to be able to keep everyone happy,by trying to keep some happy she has plunged that state into being a bit of a basket case,the lockdowns should have been hard and fast first up,now your going to be in the doldrums there for donkeys,being a true leader she would have not been to bothered what people thought and done the right thing by the people even if it had gotten her kicked out at the next election

With the Olympics due to start in a matter of weeks... we will probably here about athletes trying to cheat ... through taking illegal drugs, such as steroids. This seems to crop up at every ---Olympics. Do you think Drug-cheats should be banned indefinitely? For their entire athletics career?
Naf
Depends on what the drug is and why they're taking it for. If it's for enhancing like steroids, then I think they should be banned but if it's for medical purpose, then it's ok.

What are your thoughts on people who live in places that experience extreme weather situations like regular flooding, tornado / cyclones, monsoonal weather, lots of snow? Do YOU live in an area that experiences any of these types of weather events?

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

How do you describe best friendships ? A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are. Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know that they are always there. A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
Jacq
A friend is someone who is always there for you to give comfort and support. We go through life but really you can count your "Best" friends on one hand. So many people these days are fake.

I like to have a swim now and then just to keep healthy am in my 60s. One morning I went shopping and met an elderly woman then 85 who said hello but couldn't stop to chat as she was dashing off to an exercise class (she was the instructor) I felt so content after meeting this woman. Do you have any of these friends?
The dog house
No none. Wish I had it might motivate me to exercise more. The most I do is walk every day for approx. 30 min. with my dog. Used to love dancing the Rock and Roll. Now that kept me fit. Sometimes I wish I could go back to it again.

I must be going senile as I age as I do not see why more and more people seem to prefer very expensive Bottled Water instead of Tap Water! Not only is Tap Water practically Free but comes with the added bonuses of being "on tap" and the addition of Fluoride etc to maintain healthy teeth and so on.

My p.o.v, from the 12 year old me I'd say yes, it is important to go school and get good grades to get a good job for your future, but now? I wouldn't really know.. I've met people who say they finished school, had good grades and graduated all just to end up in McDonald's, apparently "grades" does not matter at all when it comes to a job? Thoughts?
ZoeC
School is not just about grades. School is about learning how to develop social skills, to negotiate, to converse, to organise your time, to learn about what is appropriate in different contexts ... the list goes on. These are all vital skills for the workforce. They may not help you get a job initially, but they will certainly help you keep it, and they improve your chances of progressing in work that you really enjoy.

I hear many people say that when they think about their first loves, that they still feel a flutter in their heart or have some type of sentimental feelings concerning their first love. Is this true for you? Or, was your experience the exact opposite?

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

The other day a woman told me that she feels insulted when a man opens a door for her. My jaw literally hit the floor. She believes men open doors because they think women are incapable. Can you believe it? Opening the door for someone is about having impeccable manners. I open the door for both men and women. The world has gone mad. But thank goodness chivalry isn't dead.

It doesn't fall into the "sexist" category at all! A man opening a door for a woman is delightful (and kinda sexy!).

Since yesterday, there is a new and improved Survey Center on Rewardia This upgraded version has a few features, introducing: - Ranking system from 1 to 5 stars - Tool "Sort" were you can organize surveys by Type, Rank, Points and Time - Surveys History - Members can claim missing points directly from the Center, using section "Not Completed" at My Surveys History What do you think about this new Survey Center?
Jillian S
It seems good, but I get annoyed And disappointed that I can’t complete surveys and I either get half way thru or to the end and the page doesn’t load and then I miss out on points, that I’ve worked hard for on surveys, what’s the point putting surveys up and People not being able to complete them or completing them all for nothing? Would be helpful to at least get some points instead of it completely wasting my time, that I would never get back!

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

Ever since Rewardia started I have always enjoyed playing Scramble Words and every once in while see my name on the weekly high scores - No big deal it's meaningless to anybody else. Whether or not you can achieve a high score depends entirely on the particular game you are playing. Games with a lot of blank word spaces allow potentially good scores and vice versa. As such, there is a maximum score achievable in any particular game based on the number of blank...
Thomas (Rewardia Support)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and looking out for the community!
To answer your main question: No, members do not receive any extra points or rewards for placing on the leaderboard. It is purely for fun and friendly competition.
Regarding the top scores, we checked the game logs for the current top player, "Richo." We reviewed the time spent per game, browser data, and gameplay patterns, and we found absolutely no evidence of suspicious activity or cheating.
Some players have just mastered rapid typing and word patterns over years of practice!
We appreciate your feedback, and wish you the best of luck getting onto the weekly high scores list again soon.

My grandson's football team won their championship this weekend and both his parents were there supporting him. They drive the boys to their soccer, football, basketball and hockey practices and games. They send them out onto the field, the rink or the court, not telling them to win, but just to do their best and have fun. That is how it should be, but for so many parents it is not. My two nephews are grown now, but I used to go to their hockey games as they were...

Unfortunately, there's sports parents who take it way too seriously, so they resort to heckling the officials (who quite often are not even adults), the opposing team, other parents, and things sometimes get physical. Relax, let your kids have fun. The chances of them reaching the professional levels, let alone the top pro levels are so small. And yes, those kids with those awful parents will pick up on that and are more likely to become like that themselves in adulthood.

Lots of survey sites are now asking for photo ids (even ones that you have signed up a long time ago for). Their reasoning is "to prevent fraud/ensure payments go to the person who has done the surveys" and the ones I have seen all use 3rd party id verification which means the survey site do not see it or keep it but they verify with the survey site that you are you and your id is then deleted.
Some older sites have introduced this when they have updated their payments so even though you may never have provided id to begin with, they then ask you for id in order to get your cash out (again, they say the reasoning is fraud prevention and to ensure who has earned the money is paid for it).
Really annoying but what can you do other than accept or stop using the site/don't join.

We know and some of us think electric vehicles are actually good for the environment but what about for the economy, considering the electricity consumption when charging, and where quite substantial tax payers funds are being spent for building charging infrastructure to be installed?

Electric vehicles are no better for the environment than normal petrol / diesel cars. In some ways electric vehicles are actually worse. Massive amounts of money is being wasted on the idea. \ud83d\ude41
Added to the problems are all the gadgets and gizmos (ebikes, escooters, mobile phones, tablets, "smart" this, AI that) which all need constant recharging, plus the enormous amounts of electricity to run the servers, as well as the materials need to make all those batteries.

Do you think what is marketed as Australian Atlantic Salmon is real Salmon or a fake? Real salmon needs to be able to swim up rivers into lakes etc. to spawn, then shortly after hatching they swim down-stream and out into the oceas where they feed on Natural Foods. The Australian version is farmed, they are kept in what amounts to a cage and fed prepared food which guarantees their flesh is Red or Pink.
Neo
I am fascinated by the fact that you never see salmon marketed as "Pacific salmon" You always see "Atlantic salmon" sold but Pacific salmon is better.
In general, wild-caught Pacific salmon is often considered healthier than Atlantic salmon, mainly due to its lower fat content, better fatty acid profile, and lower risk of contaminants.

I agree. Surely your demographic, age and sex would be enough. More than that and I assume that I am being screened out because my opinions conflict with the answers THEY want,which defeats the purpose of quantities social research and not a true indication of public opinion.

..... 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.

Why do most of the fools making TV shows and movies these days insist on having the characters swearing/cursing for almost every second word?? Comedy shows, drama shows, etc. - they're all doing it. It's just pathetic and lazy, and completely unnecessary. :mad:

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

You\u2019ve got to be careful though. I accidentally plugged the electric blanket into the toaster, and I was popping out of bed all night!

I find that when I am booking budget holidays, I do not always know what sort of accommodation I will get. These days I would like a flat or a room without stairs, but sometimes the access information is not given. Do you have any advice about getting suitable budget holiday accommodation?

Last Tuesday, I opened a packet of six lamingtons and while I was counting how many pieces of desiccated coconut they each had on them, pieces kept falling off and I had to start over. .Anybody had that happen to them while you are popping bubble wrap ?

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

Jobs that only lasted for one generation, now they don't exist anymore. How many can you think of?

fast photo shop, signwriters with paint brushes, radio operators at sea, photolithographers, real bank managers, typists,
if you'd asked who gets paid to do nothing, that list would have been way longer.

Have you ever been under hypnosis? What did you learn?

Yes I have been and it was the most scary of times. I was taken back to my childhood where something horrendous happened and I now remember it more clearly than before.

People who said that they are doing things to save our beautiful earth are some off the same people who are funding rockets to outer space It does not seem right

And there is the lesson to learn from. Climate change is a natural process of our earth. Climate crisis is a manufactured illusion spread by unelected leaders of global organizations who do not have our best interests at heart. These people jump on individual jets to fly to conferences so they can find more ways of controlling what we can and can't do.
