Which accents are your favorites to listen to? And, why do you like them? Is it a roll of the tongue or a sharp drop in a word spoken? Let us know! (Oh, and when, I state accents, I mean when someone is speaking the English language, not in their own language[s] )

i love the english from yorkshire and the north of england but you drive from village to village and the accents are differant love them i,m from cornwall so thats didfferant again

Sometimes when I venture out, it really does feel like we are living in an apocalypse. The social distancing. The masks. The fear in people's eyes. The avoidance in people's body language. The eerie feeling in the air freaks me out.

If we can get 100% support from all citizens in following government regulations, we can defeat this terrible virus. But it needs 100% NOT 99% or less. The ball is now in our court. The pathway to recovery is there and it is achievable. Stay strong and committed to following all government directives and we will surely win.

Do you think families will be able to get together this year for Easter?
APB
Its funny, when we all discuss Christmas...there are loads of people who get all worked and upset about it being all about Christ, and people have forgotten the true meaning etc.....Yet when we get to Easter ...another Pagan festival that the Christians stole from it's true owners...Everyone is talking about hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and bunnies...I guess the Christians couldn't come up with anything better.....

Not that long ago... I was just browsing around on the internet, and I came across a penfriend-club. I was surprised! I thought penfriend clubs died out due to the popularity of the internet. It's good that they still exist! Have you ever had a penfriend? Do you currently have one that you write to?
Warrior Woman
As a lonely teen in the UK back in the 50s and 60s I had penpals all over the world. We exchanged postcards, stamps, learnt a bit about languages and other cultures. How exciting it was to receive mail from France, Japan, USA, Italy, Norway, Jugoslavia, the Azores etc. I studied languages at School and Uni and hitchhiked around Europe meeting and mixing wonderful people including my future husband. Now Facebook has replaced letter writing and I love hearing from my many International friends every day.

When do children reach the status of having had enough experience of the world to try to tell their parents how to live their lives?
Anneliese
Lessons and learning can go both ways. You teach them things and likewise they can teach you things. Your talking about bossing someone, there should be respect from both sides. Discipline is a different thing, it's like learning what's right and wrong. However gaining experience and learning is something you will always do.

As this 2020 has been very difficult for most of us, Christmas presents can be a little bit challenging for our pockets. Are you going to buy less and cheaper gifts this year?

Mine usually accumulates in my coat pockets and goes towards a nice bottle of wine. Or I keep it and give it to buskers. How about you?
Warrior Woman
I save up all my change at the end of the week and it goes into a special bank account for my little volunteer school in a very poor Balinese Village for children whose parents cannot afford the Government school fees. I began it as a kindergarten and it has been going now for 8 years, helped by my fundraising and donations from friends. Whenever I go over to take books, clothing, soccer boots etc., my accumulated bank deposits help pay the school bills. It is run by my Balinese friends who take no money themselves so the children can get a basic education. It is amazing how change does make such a difference to children who have nothing, not even a toy of their own. Covid has meant I cannot get over there since January and my tiny school has closed, waiting until I can get back with what I have saved.

Why are people so rude on the roads these days, before people used to give way to other people out of being polite. Now days people don't let anybody in, if you try to change lanes, people speed up so you can't If you park at the supermarket car park, once you have finished your shopping, and want to reverse out of your spot, no-one will stop to let you out, I've even had someone go around me, and I was half way out. What is wrong with people these days?

What do you mean these days? I have witnessed this behaviour for decades BUT it does seem to get worse over time.

Do you believe healthcare should be free? Or do you think the individual should have to fund it themselves? If so, what are the reasons for your stance?

Totally agree healthcare should be free worldwide. It would actually cut the cost of medications, surgeries etc. People with no health cover are doomed from the start unless they're on a 5 figure salary

The $1 was supposedly refundable, but I refused, as you always hear warnings about giving out bank details online. Even if it is refundable, how...

These days I get screened out alot. Either I start answering questions, then they say sorry you've been screened out. Or i actually get to the end of the survey and it says either (error) ( page not found) or screened out after im do e answering all the questions. That makes me angry because ive just wasted time in doing them. Sometimes I get 2pts as a compensation, but mostly not. That's why I hardly get points together. BS

Do you think it's deliberate when they time you out of surveys once you have answered all the questions? That way they don't have go give you points. I've completed many and then they say I don't qualify of timed out and when you question where the points are, only to be told it's a 3rd party so we can't confirm you completed the survey

Year to year, I've learned so much from my few plants (veggies and ornamentals) in Zone 5, but it's such a delight to see things grow. Never met a weed nor Japanese beetle I liked, but even they too have functions. Some crops yield good harvest each year while others need me trying differently or watching the weather for what's possible. How do you fare gardening wherever you are?
Andrew C 287196

Holly Cat
My neighbor had a site that requested a driver's license and selfie. I was on the same site and never had that request. He sent the survey site an email indicating he was uncomfortable to do that and if there's another way he could confirm his identity, so they actually responded and indicated they would have to send him a check the first time, to be deposited into his bank when he receives it. He agreed and did receive the check and cashed it, and ever since he's had no issues with redeeming his points. I guess what I'm trying to say is email the survey site letting them know you're uncomfortable and see if another solution is offered. I'd hate to see you not be able to redeem your points.

As an only child raised by my grandmother, I never felt the strong connection that others feel with brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and parents. When we immigrated 3 years ago, I did not feel an ounce of worry or longing to go back to my country of birth. I've never felt homesick at all. Is this normal at all? Has anyone else felt the same way?
Gypsy
I was born in UK. My parents chose a different religion to their familes, and most of both families turned against my parents. Because of that rift I grew up knowing who my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins were, but not having a very close bond with them. In 1971 my father announced that we were emigrating to Australia. Before we left UK we were told that there was a house ready for us, and jobs for my father and myself. We arrived in "the land of sunshine" in June on a very wet, cold, windy day, there was also no house or jobs, so we had to live in the Pennington Hostel and look for work. That was the only time I felt homesick. As our circumstances improved we were glad we had come. In 2006 I made my first trip back to UK for a 7 week holiday, but then I was happy to return home to Australia, for me 'home' is where my immediate family are.

We have a Rottweiler/Labrador mix that is 16 yrs. old. He is very protective of the children. He has PTSD from being present when his former master was murdered. He can't stand fireworks or gunshots. I also have my cat, Sookie who is about 15 yrs. old. She was a rescue left locked in an apartment with no food or water. My Son has his black Calico, Covid Kitty who is about 2 years old. She likes to quarantine in her room, thus the name. My Grandson also has a black Calico kitten about 6 months old named Ruby, AKA, "The Scamp". She likes to sit in my inside potted plants. She was born outside to a wild Mother cat. We also have Red Slider Turtles. Cheech and Chong, Snoop and Selena. We are building a habitat on the side of our house for them. We have them because we love them and they are all family members.

I heard that in Asia, if a bird poos on your head it is lucky.. So I figured that if birds were lucky then having a bear poo on your head would be super lucky. Next time the koala came around I went and stood under the tree watching him, but I think he must have been constipated, so I gave up in the end and decided to continue being my old unlucky self for a bit longer..

We have problems with people sneaking across state borders or lying on their declarations. Three ladies have now brought Covid 19 back into our State after visiting a city which is a massive hot spot. I would actually charge them with manslaughter if anyone dies because of their actions.
Sandra C 12043
Just so happy to live in a state thas has closed borders even if Vics are still trying to get in illegally. Why can't they stay in their own state ??
Those 3 women should be charged regardless and if their actions kill someone then they should be charged with manslaughter.

I have 2. Went my son's were born. That feeling you get when you first hear the little yell they give. It's like they are saying hello world I'm here, well screaming hello world I'm here. So many emotions and thoughts flooded my head. Happiness was the dominant feeling at those moments.

What is the most beautiful song you have heard and what song gets you pumped every time it comes on.
I really like The Prayer. There are so many different versions on Youtube, from the best artists in the world which I often revert to when I want to take a break from Rewardia. Madonna's La Isla Bonita has a wonderful beat. I feel like jumping up and dancing every time I hear it.

Hallelujah..k.d. Lang or Pentatonix, and also

Would you choose a name for your child (or, if asked to name another's child) simply because it is popular or trendy?
Warrior Woman
PLEASE parents think about your child's future with the name you dump on it. As a teacher it was heartbreaking to see children ridiculed or embarrassed because they had been given 'cute' (at the time) or the names of once popular rock stars or celebrities or 'momentarily' popular names, often misspelt by the parents. Little "Princess", "Rowdy", "Hurricane" or "Feather" suffered and probably still do. Siobhann's mother was not Irish so she spelt it Shivawn and the poor girl had to spell it that way whenever she gave her name instead of the proud Irish way. Then came the popularity for nicknames being the real name so Archibald became Archie, John became Jack and Henry became Harry and even James became just Jimmy and Katherine became plain Kate. Give them the full, proper name so they can have a choice if they just want to be called a nickname rather than stuck with it all their life. Also please consider the name when attached to your surname. I spent a long time talking to classes that it was hurtful to burst out laughing every time poor Poppy Plant and Holly Busch were called. And honestly do people think I have never heard the joke, "What do you call a woman with one leg?"

While working in a factory a few years ago, had spare time on my hands, too keep myself busy I would go wipe down benches wash dishes etc. One particular day I did the dishes scrubbed some of them as the cups were filthy, the owner of one of these cups hit the roof as he believed that tea tastes better from a dirty cup, so what do you think?

You have plans for the upcoming weekend and have asked your sibling or close family member to watch your children, 2 under 4 years old. Do you pay the person given that when asking there was no mention of payment and it only being for 3 hours?
Maria B 89860
Labour of love is not a chore. It's like cooking and doing other things for your family or extended family and is acknowledge and thanked in a Birthday or Special Occasion cards. But neither is it forgotten as the children grow to an understanding age they are taught to return the kindness by being helpful to these caring people in as they get older .. mow their lawn and other such things.

It does seem to help them and many behave nicer afterwards. What do...

Has anyone had any type of account hacked before? We had our Netflix hacked recently, they hacked it and watched few movies and TV shows. If you were hacked what did you do besides change password
Diana A 392333
Both my and my husband's credit card were hacked and instead of doing nothing but cancel the card and have a new one sent out and my money reimbursed by the credit card company. I went on a mission to find out who it was. To cut a long story short, I contacted the merchants and found out the name, address, phone number and e-mail addresses of the two perpetrators and handed it over to police (needless to say I also stopped the goods from being sent out). I then also contacted the local newspaper (The Mercury) and they printed an article on how I was able to track down the hackers, I also wanted to share valuable tips on how people can avoid this from happening to them from the info I got from police. The article was in yesterday's Mercury and took up almost a full page. I also noticed that The Telegraph had the article in digital version too. I urge others to make the effort to do the same, because if no one does anything, these people will know they can do it again and again and always get away with it!

There is so much to be learnt from the elderly. They've lived through wars and journeyed through struggles we couldn't even comprehend. Yet they are almost dismissed by society. It really annoys me.
Cat Claw
When you're elderly, you either become invisible or an irritation. Younger people (and I include those well into their 40's even) become impatient with older people who are stuggling physically. I've seen it at supermarket check-outs all the time, the operator will whizz all the groceries through while the elderly person tries to keep up, then when the elder fumbles around trying to pay, those standing in line start sighing with impatience. I've even seen in family situations, the younger generations laughing or mocking their elders when they are trying to participate in a conversation. The whole 'ok boomer' tagline is the new "you wouldn't understand becuase you are not a parent' putdown that people who don't want to listen use. Elderly people deserve far more respect and patience than what they currently get.

I already almost entirely do.

All my grocery buying is done using a Debit card.

This breakfast plate is simple, healthy, and balanced. It includes a soft omelette seasoned lightly with pepper and cooked with small pieces of onion for extra flavour. Fresh baby carrots add a nice crunch, while a handful of pistachios gives protein and healthy fats. A small slice of cheese adds richness to the plate, and the meal is completed with a refreshing glass of orange juice. Overall, it s a quick and nutritious morning meal.

Can anyone out there pass on any good hints to help save some extra cash in these days of poor economy. It is getting extra hard for pensioners to have enough money to buy enough groceries

Eat more REAL food...fruits (organic, non-GMO), eggs, beef, sardines/fish.
Stop mindlessly buying THINGS.
I live off a VERY low income, but, I took the time to COMPLETELY reverse my lifestyle. Each month, after my rent is paid and my internet/TV is paid I then live off $85 for every 7 day period. I shop once a week, stick to my budget and eat little to no processed food garbage. I rarely even cook...only when I have steak 4 times a month. I am also peacefully single, no kids, no vehicle, thus, no insurance, gas, expenses. I have no credit cards. I have no subscriptions. I do little to no shopping MINUS the Amazon gift cards I cash out from this site which just replenishes items I get every few months...organic coconut oil for oil pulling, CoQ10, cell salts, moringa powder (for my smoothies), psyllium husk (for my smoothies) and any other things I need here and there.
The key to it all is escaping the mindless consumption mentality. I FORCED this on myself aroun 2012 or so when I sold everyting I owned and, once all the CLUTTER and CRAP was gone...I was there...with nothing, yet, I woke up day and I was alive. Learning gratitude when one has nothing EXCEPT being thankful for being alive each day can truly reset your mentality.
My golden rule...if "society" does things....I do the exact opposite. Same goes for when MSM tells us something...I know the exact opposite (most of the time) is ACTUAL truth PURPOSELY not told to us to keep us enslaved mentally.
Now at 42 years young...life is simple, calm, peaceful, stress free. I am more active, I am actually healthy, I have never been to a doctor since I was 16. I have NEVER had a prescription medication. I have NEVER drank coffee (which DESTROYS your adrenals, thus, your kidneys as well). I GOT sober from alcohol and drugs on my own, doing my own "detox" program which included planned relapse usage in order to have reflective self-therapy sessions in order to actually find the root cause of the NEED to abuse drugs and alcohol, which led to me eventually healing. Healthy lifestyle helps ANY AND ALL addictions, fyi.
Long story short. Keep shit simple. Life is short, so actually LIVE IT on your terms.
