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

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.

Thanks. Nice dipped into Tzaziki. (Why does someone feel the need to reply \u201cYuck\u201d, there is no excuse for bad manners)

I used to make ginger beer but if I left it too long under the bed then there would be Pop Pop Pop as the pressure blew the tops of the bottles off\u2026\u2026\u2026.lol

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

I was born at a very young age, and someone left me on the doorsteps of rewardia,,, I AM YOUR FATHER jt \ud83d\udc41\ufe0f

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...

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....

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. Just saying...and i always give true,concise answers so shouldn't be screened out for making silly remarks that aren't relevant to topic.

..... 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.

Not a role model dad joke. When I was little, innocent, and young - eons ago - I used to 'pray' for a bicycle. I grew cynical - because no bicycle appeared, I learned from people who went to Sunday School that's not exactly how praying works. So, I stole a bicycle, and prayed for forgiveness - which explains WHY I never became a DAD!

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 !

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.

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.

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 ..

I don't drive (vision images). However, THE BEST personalized plate I have seen is: 2CUTE4YOU - talk about ego issues - lol.

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.

So what scientific research has come up with this conclusion. What absolute rubbish? On every flight here, we are given a sealed bottle of water.

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

I PLAYED BASKETBALL (OUTSIDE) IN MY TEENS AND TWENTIES NOW I SWIM MY DAD WAS A CHAMPION IN THE DAY I STILL LOVE IT AND I'M IN MY 70'S

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!

AI will pose challenges to civilization and people, as did the Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century or the introduction of computers in the workplace. AI is an extension of this, and it will be interesting to see how people and the workplace will change.

Eggs from chickens reared in back gardens in the inner city can have up to 30 times more lead in them than that from country reared chickens

I only ever worked in hospitality so classified as not particularly unusual.. However I did have to prepare some unusual menu items for the general public's consumption . One of which was carefully poached peeled ,sliced and fried pigs testicles.. grr! (tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette salad. )

In Gosford NSW...a doctor who was probably late for work at the surgery parked in a disabled car space....there is wonderful security camera footage of a man in a wheelchair very carefully removing all the air from all his tyres...absolute magic....there should be MASSIVE fines for this behaviour....

Wonder Woman lol but I also loved watching The incredible hulk,The six million dollar man,Bionic woman,Bewitched,The love boat,Tom and Jerry,Lost in space,I dream of Jeanie,Mork and Mindy,Charlies Angels,The brady bunch,Little house on the prairie and the Waltons and Chips lol

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.

Relax. Find a job you are passionate in and enjoy your abundant life without anything toxic interfering into your life.

My fathers hair was receding and he said that his brain needs more room and pushed the hair out of the way.

mmm great topic..where do i start haha. If i have the shakes from a bit of low blood sugar- because i've actually used some physical energy which my lazy body not used to- i have to snaffle a peanut butter and honey sammie. If i'm just feeling piggy then chip sammie, cake cake or cake, and of course choc. I used to wolf down hot chips but lately i can't do that without suffering later. And everything with a cup o tea n sugar.

Roll up and put a lotto ticket in each Christmas cracker and don't tell anybody you have done it prior to Xmas lunch/dinner. There then will be a few surprised faces when at the table the crackers are all 'banged off' and then opened to get their hat and small toy AND surprise , surprise a lotto ticket.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten, and children listen, to hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow ...

units have their down side, as no gardens for people loke me i like a garden. And a house you can please yourself ,myself i enjoy growing vegies and pottering around the garden.

So is my house … stuff from my daughter still here after she got married and moved out over 6 years ago … toys from grandchildren that they have grown out of … and oodles of other stuff that just seems to accumulate over time … I just haven’t got the energy to sort it out and get rid of it ??

Just read this news and it's a great song: Pink Floyd have reunited to record their first new material in 28 years, a protest song against the Ukraine war. Hey Hey, Rise Up! features David Gilmour and Nick Mason alongside long-time Floyd bassist Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards.

I don't understand the question (because I have a (horrible) tendency to ignore theoretical considerations) - however, sex is definitely the answer!

Not me, I learnt to go remove the idiot box, radio and limit internet, go to bed early, sleep like a log. and never have a problem waking up and being grumpy.

That's called MARKETING. I have some Sketchers I have been wearing for years, I pop them in the wash. All these trendy shoes are for those woke people who want to make a statement..hey look at me I'm exercising and boo hoo to you old fat idiots. All you do is see how the shoes feel on your feet. I always look for specials. There only thing after having three kids it is not worth buying cheapo Kmart school shoes for your kids. They didn't last a term and the soles just fell off. I go to clearance shops that have premium leather school shoes at a much lower price.

i am not an adventurous but travelling to Thailand. The biggest thrill and adventure was visiting the buddist site where i got to sit and pat numerous full grown tigers.Scary and euphoric at the same time

If you want to lock yourself down for 3 days, then go ahead, knock yourself out! BUT don't force it upon those that don't want to participate. There has been too much loss of freedoms and too many restrictions! I used to LOVE the free country we once lived in, the freedom that our ancestors fought and died for!

We always had family over so it was more to do with what they brought over. Rotten corn, crayfish, hangi, paua (abalone), kina (sea urchin) and wild pig. I was scared of Julia Child and her cleaver, but loved Hudson & Hall and Graham Kerr.

Yes I have so many similar happy memories - but we lived in a different world then. These days there is no way kids can play like that unsupervised I say. Unless you are lucky enough to have a relative that lives in a property.................. It is not really even safe down at parks without Mum or Dad there anymore.

Hopefully people will just use less sugar. I cut out sugar around 12 years ago and I'm much better for it.

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

I don’t use any digital assistant - I've managed for the last 60 odd years without one and think my "grey matter" is all the better off for it! (I also no not use "spell check" or calculators!)

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.

When all these countries get into space...in twos or threes...look down on the tiny planet...all work together, with a mixture of many nations... for the common good...they all bond...look at those happy faces on the space station...that is magic!!...that doesn't happen down here on Earth...and it gives me hope...nothing is too much bother...they would risk death for each other....maybe we should all be up there for a while..

have a friend who was visiting a cemetery and said she saw a tombstone that read: "beneath this sod lies another"

I was too busy dealing with survival issues (and childhood physical abuse issues) in the early stages of my life - I just can not remember!

How did it happen?.....it was a gradual process, starting in the 1970's when gay men started wearing trainers when they had no intention to do any training...that quickly spread to the whole population...then we had "girl power" which meant the only way to be equal to men was to wear your bra on the outside and wander around half naked...this has now filtered down to the general population...it can be a blessing or a curse depending on how much fat is crammed into very small quantities of a semi see through stretch material....each to their own....

I think we rely on it way too much,back in 1859 there was major disruotion due to a sloar flare.it wiped out the worlwide telegraph system,When,its not if but when,imagine what it would be like,every electrical circuit fried,no communications,no power,no pumpimg stations,planes falling from the sky,you have already seen how people reacted to the china virus emptying shelves,imagine how it will be when this happens,every man for himself,they estimate it would take 10 years and trillions of dollars to just get US back to normal,if anyone is interested heres a link to the carrington event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event#:~:text=The%20Carrington%20Event%20was%20a,largest%20geomagnetic%20storm%20on%20record.

i think if you date a man that expects sex after paying your dating the wrong type of man,before i married and dated women,if i asked them out i paid,not once did i expect anything in return.

some zoos are open plan and the animals are free to roam in large areas such as Monato Zoo in South Australia and Dubbo Zoo in NSW they are OK as they try and bread endangered animals

I have been a personal carer for 19 and a half years and now friday the 2nd i have now retired for ever.Yeah no more hard work.

All of them.

I have a friend from Romina who cooked the most delicious soup I've ever had. She pressure cooked chicken necks. They make the most delicious soup/stock ever

I would start looking at a move. Not to the city but somewhere that has more access to shops and facilities. We all get older and need easier lifestyles. Closer to a city would be a bonus.

WHAT are chicken RIBS? All I know are 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 wings? There's what's left over, the boney ribcage? Not usually cooked because of lack of anything on it! I'm confused? ;-{

I made this last Sunday night for dinner. But I washed, then pricked the potatoes put them in the microwave for 5 minutes, then wrapped in foil for the oven, to cut down the cooking time. Delicious.

Wouldn't mind owning a Smart House - as long as it is smart enough to pay the rising cost of renting and the rising cost of utilities :-))!

Hi Jann R :-))! It was Love (are should I say Lust) at first sight between me and Baked Lemon Tart! I will immediately take a screenshot of this recipe!

Apparently the Chinese have bred a chicken with 4 legs so you get extra drumsticks. They think they will be tasty but no one knows for sure as they can't catch one...

share your experiences with the nurses . they have lots of good down to earth tips. Run a day by day diary and give it to the oncologist at each regular consultation, you will get many and varied side effects. Some of these could influence a variation in the chemo. Don't try to eat big meals once your taste goes away. It does no harm to have a google look at what is out there. I should have said I've been there. Lung and bowel cancer, and 6 months of chemo.

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,

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.

The older I get , I find after bending down to get something it's impossible to do silently .. and no NOT what you are thinking! It's because your diaphragm muscles become weaker and your stomach gets pushed up closer to it so oldies often make a grunt when they do such activities !

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!

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.

I had a dog that was 8 when she tore a ligament in her back leg . We put her on a product called "biovet joint suplement" mixed into hamburger, within a month she walking on her own six months she was walking up and down stairs again on her own in a yr she was running around almost like when she was young . We kept her on it until she died at 14 1/2. No arthritis.

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

Tamz, you are answering your own question. If you have been able to "survive" without this shallow friend in your life continue to do so. She has made contact with you, what could that reason be? Did you recently win the Lotto, is she sick, unwell, and needing support, has she apologized or is there anything to apologize for/ There are just so many questions but my initial reaction is continue on without her.

I still give my grandchildren a tree decoration and have done so for 30 years. I have never asked what they do with them but they would never forgive me if I decided not to keep up the tradition.

Be honest and say you can't afford it. I tell people often I can't afford it, I don't care about their reactions because they aren't paying my bills. The right now isn't the later on.

Qualification question today .. have you travelled by car to Mars in the past week ? Umm no,, Great! You have qualified for the survey . Now baking and listening to some music whether it's a streaming service such as YouTube or the common radio ( transistor) can be quite therapeutic I find, however the survey probably went on to interview the lucky applicants who were successful on a completely unrelated topic such as bladder leakage !! How many dribbles ? A few drops or more? How often .. oh that's all the questions we have for you today !

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).

Absolutely - You can't let them get away with bad behaviour or they will take full advantage of it and you! Let them know you are in charge and should be respected. If their parents don't like you disciplining them, they don't have to leave them with you. And they probably leave them with you because they can't control them and hope you will teach them some respect.

Thankfully, the ads offering sex from ladies around the globe have finally stopped. It got too much for me as I'm a hetero female!

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.

15 minute meal in my microwave! I don't cook anymore. Grocery Outlet Bargain Market gets meals in that only cost $1-$2 each, and they're very good, and inexpensive! Latest find, Jenny Craig meals for $.99 each! ;-D

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.

One of my neighbours is not very friendly they turn there back when they see me lol I don't even know them some people are very strange

Close to you (the Carpenters), November Rain (Gunners), Don't cry at my grave (I am not there) - The Prayer, (Lizzie West), Evergreen (Barbara Streisand), Skye Falls Down ( Ocean Lab) and not sure yet which one, but something by Metallica.

I'm sorry, I know it's a natural process (for most women, though not all can do it), but I really don't want to have to see it.

Not that I remember Walter, nothing awful or scary, for which I am grateful and I treated our young kids the same way = no not perfect but no mind games or scary lies. :)

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 moved to Melbourne from Sydney 40 years ago. I thought I was going to die. No friends, cold, wet. Anyway I am still here. I have kids now and grandkids. You need to keep social. Oh and I got rid of the husband! That greatly improved my life, regardless of where I live!
