Perhaps there's a way to do it all, but guess the sacrifice will come from the parents who taxi them to and fro. Once they earn their own money, charge them board, (and maybe bank the money for them to use later) this is a good grounding for going flatting. I had a friend who provided it all and when the child chose to go flatting, the wake up call was nearly more than the child could cope with

I have twice seen one and I am basically a skeptic about flying saucers and Aliens. However on both occasions neither the Coastguard, Airforce, Police or anyone else can explain the lights I saw, which were brilliant blue when hovering, then flashed green as the zig-zagged back and forth for about 10 minutes over the ancient extinct volcano on our property, before flashing back to brilliant blue and disappearing over the horizon at an incredible speed.. They lit up the sky which woke my daughter on a neighbouring property on the second occasion. On the first occasion I was with about 6 other adults and we all reported our sighting. Several other people reported them on both occasions but we never received any logical explanations. Definitely unidentified flying objects

i was doing this, on my phone, and trying to go over it pulled down on screen, and whole page RELOADED, so not keen on this one yet.... maybe tomorrow.... ON THE COMPUTER HAHA

I'm going to go for something a little different. I would love to holiday in Ireland and spend some time on their wild, windy and cold moors and glens. Who wants to join me? Heehehe

Absolutely these days I would in an instant. You never know what you're going to see happening or happening to you. I'd record an interaction with a law enforcement officer in a heartbeat.

Doesn't take long at all, but now that Rewardia have Countdown vouchers I might get those in the future, it's as good as money since we all have to buy food

Yes they will close. I watch everything at home on TV. I do not have to see the latest film and most of these are not worth watching anyhow.

Well Edward...I'm a year older than you...expected some sort of rough passage and have both AZ shots...still walking around which is the main objective....after my first shot I had fairly horrific side effects...I spent 24 hours in bed...and one two occasions thought I might need to call an ambulance....I really thought I might die...next day I was fine.....on the second jab...absolutely nothing....and it was the same deal with my son...first shot is your body tooling up for the virus...second one is just backup mate...it seems to be the most effective vaccine....doesn't wear off so easily....honestly Edward...I'm not frightened of covid any more...I feel really safe mate....too some extent I've now been there already and done that...its strange...

No they were offered to you so take them with the generosity they are given. Don't forget to say thank you.

The road is for sharing and you should always be aware of other users and drive to the conditions. Be kind, be careful and if the traffic is slow then be slow or stick to the speed limit. It’s only going to take a few minutes longer….it’s really not that hard….lol

Hmm would they be called Main ribs? actually i have heard of Prime ribs..maybe Spare ribs are the poor cousins? mmmm ribs..yum.

I learnt to use industrial sewing machines at the age of 14 but sadly now I am retired can't afford to buy one so I can continue making and repairing clothing. I also have a really good eye for colours and when we built our last home I knew exactly what I wanted, they told us to allow 3 hours to choose everything, had it all sorted in less than an hour, colour of bricks, roof windows, door plus everything inside. I also had to teach myself how to cook and after 50 plus years married husband still asks where did you get that recipe from.

Years ago a movie was released into the cinemas and played for a few weeks or even months sometimes. Nowadays unfortunately, due to TV, cable TV, internet, netflix etc. they are barely even hitting the cinemas for a week and then hit the smaller screens. This means more and more movies have to be made and sadly many are rubbish. I agree, some are just noise and or trash and often the hype is just PR to get people to pay to watch them. I rarely watch TV and never go to the movies these days. I do not have pay TV either. Give me a good book any day.

I bought some eggs from Coles recently and the first two eggs were double yokers. First time I have seen one since I was a child.

New Zealand would be my ideal holiday destination. I have been wanting to go back for ages to see all of my friends and family. Always lots of activities or events to explore.

I love this game. Have played it before on one of the other game sites. Really love seeing new games added now and then to keep it fresh!

this whole discussion is based on personal opinion - i am a size 8 and find it offensive when people say i starve myself - or thin shame me (yes it happens often) - i am naturally this size i eat a lot, i exercise too and stay same size and think as long as you are happy in yourself it shouldn't matter what size you are - whatever words used can be offensive if we let them - i choose to smile and let it go

When we were scammed out of our life savings of $53,500 whilst building a new house we ended up with a mortgage and having to do all the landscaping ourselves so it is an ongoing thing, we just try and set out what needs doing the most and tackle it day by day.

Working in the Workers Compensation Department in an insurance company. Some weird stories told in there.

Hi Elizabeth T, please tell me what the hell did we do before the internet, we went to the shops, we were fitter, and we just go on with things without whining, make that special trip, you might find that there is a world beyond your computer screen, everything does not have to be convenient, to many people are just using co-vid as an excuse to do nothing, yes it's serious, but Australians can fight anything, walk away from the screen, it will not jump off the desk or your lap to kill it self, and the walk will do you good

I don't think it should be banned,if it is going to be banned then all contact sport should be banned.They just need to be wearing the right protection like helmets and mouth guards.

I decided to get a spiral perm in 1991. The poor hairdresser took five hours to complete it. The sun had gone down and I was still in her chair lol. I booked over the phone and when I went in she was surprised. My hair was past my butt and it's thick (but I did prewarn her over the phone). She deserved her $250 and I went to work the next day and was called telephone cord and poodle, but I liked it.

Caring about what others think makes me happy, because I enjoy caring. I don't live as a hermit, I live in a community....so everything that other people do or think affects me either directly or indirectly. If you are asking solely about whether my choices are based on what other people think about my choices..... then that is very different conversation. Do I care that someone I know hates it when I wear read. No I don't, because I enjoy wearing red. Do I care that my mother disapproves of me not visiting her more than I do...yes I do care...because I don't want her to feel sad or lonely. Different situations result in different levels of 'do I care'. You can't lump them all under one heading and ask do you care or do you not....because it depends totally on what the situation or issue is. .

Not heard any news here. I don't believe in aliens per se but life on other planets is a possibility but in microbe form etc. Can't see some form of intelligent life as we have if you can call us that as we came about by circumstances that would not be repeated elsewhere. A spec of dust or a microbe started us off. I think the Governments are doing OK although some not so much. We are having a pandemic and they are in a fine balancing act trying to save peoples lives and also their livelihoods. This virus is so virulent and we have the idiots who just don't get it going about and spreading it more. Everyone stay safe, follow the simple rules of social distancing, quarantining if necessary, get tested if sick or asked, do not shake hands or hug, do not gather in groups etc. If everyone did this together we would probably not have the situation in Victoria, NSW and now it seems in Queensland.

If they care for one another there is nothing wrong. If it is for money then it is wrong. Money does not bring happiness. Sometimes the opposite.

I don’t feel comfortable posting pictures of my children online, but I am the only parent I know who doesn’t do it.

Nah, traffic is fine with me. I have experienced being stuck for 3-4hours in the middle of the road and I can’t even stop by for a pee. Hahaha.

I think it also a desensitivity to violence in general with constantly seeing increasingly realistic imagery of people being raped or blown up or stabbed/gutted with knives. Then, the lights/bells/whistles that go off when you might kill another being (in a game) to win the round or whatever, makes violence a thing to be used to maybe get ahead of the game in real life. Sadly, I think many of these ultra violent/realistic type games were/are designed to do this. When you stab someone to death, they don't really die- they just come back at you in the next round. If you do this countless times then you very well may in some small way expect the same to occur in real life, especially if you haven't yet fully developed a brain that can tell the difference (fully) between RL and a game situation or scene. Bully or brutish behaviour, towards women say, if very often associated with heroism. The 'hero' of the round got to be the hero because he just shot 25 "bad guys" up with an AK47. 7 and 8 year olds may hav

In an ideal world yes, but In our day we didn't have as many perverts & weirdo's .A balance like reading & supervised outdoor fun excursions & some computer etc is great .Parents must make more time for their children

PIZZA is my favorite food/meal because it not only tastes delicious, but it contains all food groups the way I order it! When Dominos has their special for $9.99 for any large crust, and up to 7 toppings, I order it with mushrooms, onions, peppers, pepperoni, sausage, tomatoes and cheese! \ud83c\udf55

Very interesting way of making chocolate mousse, will give it a try. I have made chocolate mousse with avocado before and it was delicious. I like a healthy dessert.

Got the giggles, silly me read it as chicken pea salad!! sorry ... it sounds like a delicious recipe as you say on it's own but imagine would feel hungry without any meat, so I'm thinking chicken would be just lovely and a beverage to wash it all down!

My wife when she was on her own bringing up 3 kids used to add a tin of baked beans to her cottage pie to make it go farther. Now all are adults and they all add a tin of beans still and we do also. I love it.

Yeah! I am joining Debbie what are cheese curds and where do I buy them. I am not in Canada I live in the US with a crazy orange guy. Help me out here can we order or there a tariff for that too.

Sounds delicious and so easy. May have to leave out the chilli powder. It's not fun getting older, there is a range of foods I can no longer eat sadly.

Equal rights here please, I'd like to see, Brown bread, Black bread and important we not forget' Rainbow bread,.

They look great thanks,will try making them with gluten free flour mix and hopefully get a good result.

When I make vegetable Lasagne I bake my vegetables first just using a light spray of canola veg spray and I always include butternut pumpkin and I am not a vegetarian but vegetarians love my Lasagne....

Zamplia is a totally useless site Felicity...just close it down and go onto the next survey....don't waste your time....life is too short...

When I was a kid at school my mate discovered that if you boil a golf ball for a couple of hours and then stab it with a steak knife it actually explodes...not a lot of people know that....

Unfortunately, I cannot 'stomach' spinach (literally or figurately). However, I still appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe!

I will substitute plant-based-meat for chicken breast/chicken thigh (I am a vegetarian). I love (enjoy) cooking recipes stir-fry! Anyway, I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe (Thanks).

I was offered an avacardo tree at the pub tonight..so I will make this in about a year or two....depending...

Leave this one for the fish lovers, please don't fight over my share or you'll get indigestion ... thanks for sharing.

Hi Cal Trop - I appreciate your food item substitutes for chicken for vegetarians. I will be definitely trying your recipe this weekend (reads delicious) with tofu instead of chicken!

so, what is the 'bumbo'? Recipe does sound easy, flavorful, and, pending "bumbo ;P, (?aka, SE Asian word for spices?), uses simple ingredients.

The first album I bought was Harvest by Neil Young. The first concert was The Rolling Stones at Memorial Drive...I remember the concert but not much after that....

Wars. Kill the other bloke but not your troops. But taking a line of fish hooks past the surf is a nice peacetime use.

Sorry not for me, you have a right to your own opinions ( as long as the government and so called do Gooders say you can) but it\u2019s not something I want forced on me.

I find Chrome isn't very good...I use WaterFox...I find it much better and faster...see...even when you are grumpy and rude...people still want to help you....

Cooked people and cooked pigs evidently taste much the same, and I understand Maori were not shy about doing a spot of people cooking. The Maori ate other Maori, then suddenly along came white people and they had a choice!

I had one ring me at tea time, we had friends over, I answered it and told him I would get back to him shortly,3 bottles of wine half a bottle of bourbon 4 and a half hours of laughs and stories I heard my phone talking in the silence after my guests had left,yes he was still there I hung up persistent little buggers there like mosquitoes buzzing around trying to bite you

Does the date matter. I celebrate emigrating here every day. Why only one day of the year? Why not just celebrate living in Australia, a great country, every day?

I guess we are not talking about White-Collar-Crime (WCC). In the Banking scandal of 2008 where trillions of dollars were stolen and not one WCC went to prison (Who says crime doesn't pay?). So exactly what prisoners are we talking about?

If someone pulled that stroke on me I'd take it to the cop shop and tell him to prove his identity to them

Have not rented movies or any TV series on YouTube and why would you?? There are free movie channels around, some of which show TV content so why pay for something when there is no need?

my choice would be [ the] because most languages especially English would be stuffed without it,my personal favourite would be dude

Also if that was the case then something like meals on wheels would do that if it was legal and same as our nursing homes but they don't as you can get in trouble plus with the technology today nothing goes undected they can even test our sewerage .but years ago before we had all this technology it might have happened like maybe 25 to 30 yrs ago as things were not very strict then either.

People are dangerous...and they are the ones applying AI...AI will spot and diagnose that cancer or tumour your doctor missed entirely...will be able to do surgery better....AI will eventually pick all that fruit and work in the fields day and night for you....rescue people in disaster situations...predict earthquakes...fires and floods...pollinate plants...transport you where you want to go cheaply and safely....it is up to us to decide what we want this brilliant new tool to do....you cannot blame the technology..it is possible for it to extend and enrich our lives... lets hope for once that we just use common sense...

It was only for the DFRDB scheme (Defend force retirements and death benefits scheme) who received a 3.6% increase on the indexed part of their pensions on 01-01-2023.

An LP, long playing vinyl record, of the Seekers with Judith Duram, " I'll Never find another you "....thought bit was a sheperd singing about his lost sheep....

I do not keep up with workmates from my one previous job (which I retired from). Only one shift (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - got two 15-minute breaks and a half-hour for lunch (I worked a total of eight hours on each workday). In addition, I was the only minority in a huge office - were I worked for thirty years. We did not have one thing in common with each other - we did not socialize with each other on the job, and we did not socialize with each other on weekends (we did not work weekends) or on holidays (we got holidays off - with pay). Only four things I actually liked about my federal civil service job - the pay, job advancement opportunities, I got sick leave and annual (vacation) leave, and I got to wear jeans too work every day. I do not miss my workmates - but I DEFINITELY miss not getting paid every two weeks (on a Tuesday) :-))! I now get paid - on a monthly basis (bummer).

My troubles with PTSD, manic depression, bipolar, ADHD, generalized anxiety and social anxiety. And Yes Covid did make it unmanageable. Before the pandemic I was taking 1 medication, and now I take 5.

Same as you Edward re needing any money possible to supplement a Carers benefit- which is definitely below minimum wage. Anything to go towards petrol which is a horrendous price.

2 RSPCA recuse dogs who are now elderly as they have been living with us 8 and 9 years as they were adopted a year apart.

I was never into salads, but a lot of kids used to take salads with beetroot. The beetroot juice would turn the whole salad purple - even the cheese! It always grossed me out, but the kids who brought it always said it was good. I've got a friend who packs this for her work lunch.

Kitty, I would just like to suggest to you trading on the ASX, if you are aren't already. I guess Kiwis are able to trade on the Australian Stock Exchange easily. I would just like to share my experience. About 10 years ago I came across a book in the library called Top Stocks by Martin Roth. He brings out a new upgraded version each year at around this time. It is basically the thoroughly researched lowdown on the top 100 companies in Australia. They all must pay twice yearly dividends to get into the book. It sets out the criteria for making it to the 100. It is just fantastic for learning the ropes about investing in shares. I get so much pleasure of watching the ups and downs on the stock market. We are all investing in shares through our superannuation but you cannot get your hands on it until retirement age. Having a bit invested in the stock market on your own gives you the option of taking a bit of cash easily if you ever need some quick money. One just cannot go wrong with the 100 ASX sha

Yes I have used it and wish i had done more and understood it better. Nothing one learns is ever wasted. Understanding such concepts comes up in unexpected ways.

Since COVID -19 restrictions I’m definitely high vibe,I’ve been riding my bike for one hour each day & loving it, as I ride I say good morning to dozens of people who are walking their dogs it is a great feeling to be alive.

1pt for the kitty

Yum sounds delicious and I will definitely give this a go. Thanks for sharing your recipe :)

Not sure putting a whole egg on top really makes it a "Purple Cabbage & Egg Salad" ... more of a "Purple Cabbage Salad & Egg". \ud83d\ude09

Oh yay Mike says it's winner ! But did you tell him it's chicken mince? (Nice tip on the Wc sauce ) \ud83d\udc4d \ud83d\ude42

Lamb is too gamey for me most of the time, except for maybe shish kabob. But this recipe would work for other cuts of meat as well.

The whole Liberal Party can make a choir (if you can take them all). They can\u2019t put their visions, policies and actions together, no one can lead, even Barnaby Joyce is about to jump ship. Plenty of them for you to choose, rescue them before the ship sinks further.

looks good, and again, for me anyways, I'd put this one in the lovely category of grazing plate - ain't nothin' wrong there, lol. I find a brilliant way to use up 'leftovers' esp veggies and fruit. The fish does sound yummy - will try, when I can afford some firm white fish fillets. Thanx for sharing!

Hi Kiddle. I will try this recipe without 1lb of beef mince. Your recipe reads tasty. I appreciate you submitting this recipe!

It\u2019s not broken you have to press exit with points when exiting the color lines game and the pending rewards for the survey take within 2 hours to be approved and the game offers under the offers and apps tab show up within 48 hours

Hi Kamana. I like the concept. I will substitute one cup of cooked vegetables for one cup of shredded cooked chicken. Thanks for submitting this recipe. Tasty! Healthy!

Hi River. I am a vegetarian (and I love salads). Will definitely give your recipe a try. I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe!

What time should I come and what wine goes with grilled cheese? Took a while to figure a pairing for fish and chips too.

A real rich man's treat as in Hungarian we call it "Bundas Kenyer" ie as in Bunda being a fur coat or a fur wrap!! Love your version Vanya, will try it your way next time, maybe surprise lunch with son today as have all the ingredients including cinnamon, love it sprinkled on top of semolina! Thanks for sharing and cheers, mb.

This happened to me at the pub a few nights ago...I thought what he said was disrespectful to me, so I told him where to go... Then, he apologised to me...I made allowances after hearing what he'd been through....now, after his apology...we're the best of friends ...sort of....he thinks I'm his friend...I don't want be his.

Sounds very nice but I would leave the meat out as I am vegetarian, but would absolutely love the rest of the ingredients.

Hi River. I have no control (as in none) over my 'sweet tooth'. Hence, I will pass on this recipe. However, I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe.

Hi Lee King. A great line: (How about that lot Walter) :-)). I appreciate you taking the time to submit your recipe. I will be trying your recipe (aka vegetarian) - tomorrow (07/07/2025). Bon Appetit (to me) :-))!

The only mobile phone I've ever owned is when a friend bought me one about 15 years ago as a present. I didn't even bothered to get it activated. People look at me like I'm some kind of freak when they ask me for my mobile number and I say I don't have one. There are 200,000 more mobile phones in the world than there are people (yes there are, google it) and yet a third of this planet live in poverty. Too hell with mobile phones I say. It's my own personal protest.

I have not been able to get on line for a few weeks. Is the recipe \u201centry\u201d a new category or a one off?

Got a $20 one also but not here! Have earned $97 this month so far on PP and its only 18th. But have to admit I'm managing more success here lately. 2000 ($2) a day most days and sometimes more.

This one as it will be the first in decades where I will not be working during this period at all and can spend time with my family instead of working 50 hours a week.

I think we should be compensated 1000 points everytime we are mislead about the length of the survey, 1000 points for everytime we complete a survey and then told we didn't qualify and 1,000,000 points everytime the qualifying stuff goes more than 30 seconds!!!

I love it when you accidentally push a wrong button and it says "You have been screened out because are not a human!!" LOL

I'm more of a pack rat than a hoarder. My stuff has value and can be sold. I just lack the motivation to get rid of it all.

Watched a news item on Denmark. They have lifted all mandates on masks, distance and all that. The chief epidemiologist says they are well vaccinated so let it rip. Sure they have heaps of cases but very few deaths. Are we bold enough here to do likewise. No! Too many anti vaccers I think.

Australia has an extremely good chance of surviving a nuclear war...an American think tank drew up the three most likely results of a nuclear war and in every case Australia was still sitting there....after everything likely to be fired had run out...however the Northern Hemisphere wasn't there anymore....or ruined... strange days indeed....Australia as a really major world power?..really?

Went through all that in the Canterbury quakes, A little camping cooker type thing helped us boil water etc .just a 2 element type thing with little gas bottle. Barbeque of course and always canned food ,powdered milk and always have boiled water in containers in your kit. oh very important cash, as usually eft pos and power goes of course as it did in Christchurch for at least a week, cant quite remember as I try to block it out :(
