Can't help feel you are a bit more than frustrated about what's happening. You are not alone. Many of us agree but we are the little people, many of whom have also lived through World War 2, Vietnam, Afghanistan. We could not stop any of those horrible encounters. Are we any better prepared than we were then? As the saying goes "It's blowing in the wind".

I had a different experience about 5 weeks ago, not Amazon, but worth telling. I was in my backyard at 5pm, doing some gardening when I heard a delivery truck. I checked down the side of the house to the front, and saw it was a Coles home delivery truck. I thought it was for the neighbors across the street, so I ignored it. About 10 minutes later I went to the front of the house. On my front steps were 15 bags of groceries and a carton of ginger beer - not mine (I don't do home delivery). I looked for a receipt or paperwork - nothing. I rang Coles local, and they put me through to their distribution center in Sydney, where they put me on hold for 15 minutes. I explained what happened, they put me on hold again. When they finally came back, they asked me if I wanted to keep the groceries or did my neighbors want some of it. Could I take it inside and refrigerate what needed to be and keep the rest. The driver can't get back to my street that night and once I take it inside, they cannot then ask for it back due to security issues, Coles would then send out a new order to the original shopper. I said thanks, took some things to my neighbor and kept the rest. We estimated that it was a full family shop ($350). I spoke to the phone operator and asked questions. If it happens again, just take everything inside. Once it's in your house, it's yours, they won't knock on the door and ask for it. Ka-ching! Merry Christmas!

Yes, they are around I had 3 today but to no avail. Just completed a survey on travel and after 1/2 hr was told that I was not suited. Go figure!

i have made up the shortfall when pensioners are buying groceries and have to take things out,its only ever 15 or 20 dollars but it makes someones day,happens every couple of months

Its like them asking if all the adverts here were annoying...you answer YES...and they give you 4 points and just carry on.....why ask?

I have an idea! Maybe, it would be better to give covid vaccine first to lawyers and real estate agents? Just take a look, is it safe or not ...

No,but I don't set evrry day. Did you know you can also get codes( or used to be able) through Facebook.

my fish have plenty of water, and have a big bird bath filled daily as we have a tribe of magpies in our backyard

I finally made it to the leader board this week. You need to get those bonus points by having the least number of jewels at the end of the round. You have to work out the patterns, ie: 1st round they only go down, 2nd round they only go up....Once you do this you can target which groups to click on. And when you have single jewels it's best to match those first instead of 'already grouped' jewels\ud83d\ude0a.

try a different game, if you are not scoring and can't get a handle on it,, just move on to a game that does not drive you batty,, games need to pay, but they also need to be fun,, ;-))

Which question should I answer? "Does anybody else ....?" and "am I alone?" are mutually exclusive, yes to one automatically means no to the other. So my answers are yes and no.

Is there a Minister of Seniors?? There should be..its incredibly unfair how this happens. Here in NZ we got an increase of an offensive $20 a week for beneficiaries- after many many years of no increase- the list of essentials including food petrol power health etc etc etc has risen exponentially over the years- and the $20 increase would be laughable if it wasn't so difficult.

Unfortunately, allergic testing isn't usually done on people untill they start displaying symptoms. Sometimes it isn't picked up for years. We aren't all the same! People also have different blood types. The GPs in Australia are very ignorant when it comes to diet. It's usually picked up by specialist doctors, parents, nutrition experts, and other's.

I've started another discussion page on this subject for anyone who wants to join in....not about why they are doing it..but suggesting what we can do to change it...we still need lots of ideas and theories here on Sue's page too please....we need to change this anyway we can...thanks Sue for this page...its GREAT

Time travel so I could go back and make some different choices that would make me socio economically better off today.

nearly all the micro plastics that your household produces appear to be from your washing machine...man made fibres are the biggest offenders...and the crap they put in your washing powders/liquids (it is probably in your shower gel, soaps and toothpaste too)...NOW...there is an attachment that you can add to your machine...it costs $350...that can remove all this at the source....but YOU have to buy it yourself...and down the food chain the local water purifier CAN remove ALL the microplastics from your waste water too...but that costs lots of money ..and nobody wants to pay for that either......we would rather drink water and eat fish full of plastic it seems..

country music titles ,if you wanna get to heaven you have to raise a little hell ,,,yes i have the t shirt as well

I drink scotch whisky \ud83e\udd43. I'm just following the lead of the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas. After a meeting about the Greenland things, she told the room - it is a good time to start drinking!

No...aside from the fact that they both have no presence...very poor speaking voices..and that they shoot themselves in the foot with a long list of stupid mistakes..on a regular basis.... no...

agree to it and split everything 50/50,literally,i would cut everything in half,sell the good stuff to your friends for next to nothing,make sure they are really good mates so you can buy it back again,drain any joint accounts you have,any joint credit cards go live it up and spend it on hookers and good whisky

Yes I've seen them. They can put them out on the shelf, but you don't have to buy them. It all comes down to nothing else but money. The true meaning of Easter is not there. When are we ever going to get past profits and be more humane.

That sounds pretty typical of the surveys on here...if you tell them what they want to hear you will make it through and get points, if you tell the truth they don't want to know. Just goes to show you can't rely on getting honest feedback when they give you any survey results. Rely on your own instincts to get the truth.

Gangnam style, bohemian rhapsody, we are the Champions, tub-thumping, forgive me but,who let the dogs out, come on Eileen just to name a few sorry if i infected anyone

Anyone else noticed that on Saturdays and Sundays many of the games award less points than between Mon-Fri? For example, Cookie Hangman Mon-Fri I usually get 8 or 9 points per game but on Saturday & Sunday only 2 or 4 points.

Isn't all this stuff available at a price on line? Do you really need a hard back copy? Trees will love Amazon

I like to act old and stupid because it gets me lots of things, like seats on trains, discounts on groceries and cautions instead of speeding tickets…

No.1 an egg No.7 drink one first then pour the the other one into that glass. No.10 the wind No.9 one side ( continous)

Yes...that was very strange "them call Her/Him" ...normally you would have used "they".....mmmm..anyhow....its a bit late to change everyone else's titles, on the entire planet... because you are struggling with it...I think you will need to adapt to what everyone else has been doing for a very long time....

Hi Edward, Unfortunately you quite right. Thank you for cataloging some of the diabolic outcomes we have been subjected to over the last nearly 2 years. I fear that we are not finished with this virus yet. So, EVERYONE, look after yourselves, family, neighbours and others, please. Think about the things you do, use common sense and try to laugh everyday !! Here's to a better 2022 for all of us... CHEERS!

I've been top of the Free Cell Solitaire game a number of times and didn't win anything. I don't think you get any extra points with any of the games if you go top.

I have a very unprofitable business - online medical transcriptionist. Basically it is only what I would call a hobby, but I do not have to rent premises and there are no overheads. Basically I just wake up in the morning and sit at my computer and start typing. I do not even use any paper, just send the transcripts back via the server. This time around with the lockdowns things do not seem quite as bad. The last time some of my kids were out of work for quite a while and had to use up their holiday leave. This time they are all still working.

Rewardia should pay out only to paypal...like everyone else..but they don't which leaves us all vulnerable...luckily this site is so mean that you won't have anything worth declaring...the tax office might even give you a refund because they feel sorry for you!

Hoo bloody rah ! About time you replied to all our complaints !! Now get rid of the ads in the middle of a topic...that would be nice !

Getting up really early in the mornings. I used to want to stay in bed and sleep, now I am unable to stay in bed and sleep.

The type of music ( that is loud an unconventional aka soul music) - that rocks the neighborhood to its very foundations which means we are talking a block party (with the streets blocked off, 'everyone' pitching in with food, the street gangs are on an armistice, and clean up (mandatory) for everyone starts at 5:00 AM - Monday) till it's time to go to back to work at 8:00 AM) or gang bangin - with a smile plastered on your face (for a moment - now - known as memories (a blast for the past) - good times and good music too bad the 1960s ended up on a sour note (with the world never recovering)!

None of them. It's a ridiculous request, obviously included in their will by a spiteful and / or silly person who simply wants you to make a fool of yourself.

A survey just showed up, saying it was 3 minutes and 245 points (24cents) and I clicked on it, after answering a number of questions all of a sudden it went to 25 minutes and all for 245 points, very unprofessional, so I closed it down.

Its a menopause because women don't see that they are doing anything different...and men should at least pause or get the hell out of there until things calm down....

Ditto with the going forward. Past has already been done so I wanna see what happens ahead. Will robots take over? Will we discover aliens? Will climate change get the better of us? Will there be a 3rd world war? Will we colonise Mars? Will we develop fusion energy soon? These are the things I want answers for now.

It's been difficult lately to get any surveys here Heather. I am quite shocked that I've managed to get nearly 2000 survey points today and not long surveys either. I don't do long surveys \ud83d\ude00.

Have you considered that it is not done deliberately but inadvertently by older shoppers whose faculties may not be so good and just put something down to pick up another item, then just forget what they did and walk off, leaving it there?

I reside in Sunny Southern California (fastest growing part of the country) - "everything" always stays expensive.

As you get older you find time seems to compress by going quicker, money gets tighter, the younger generation get less understood and the world gets more and more screwed up!!!!

I don't mind those questions in they are in a daily poll. Some of us seem to like rambling down memory lane especially to distract from the present. Thats my 2bitcoins worth haha.

We don't have enough pavements in Australia..young mothers sometimes have to push prams along the kerb...and nowhere near enough bike paths and links...they shouldn't have to ride on pathways in the first place

because its all about the money,thats all it comes down to,big business wants travellers and the money.

I love all of the Delcado adds, they play a good part in the add's and they are really serious .The add's are funny.

Some of these surveys seem like "foot in the door" techniques where you think you'll be given one survey and it morphs into four surveys in in one. That's not right.

Just seen a picture of Trump with a chimp 'One of these creatures shares 98% of its DNA with humans...has the reasoning ability of a 5 year old and is subject to violent rages...even throwing his own poop around....the other one is a chimp..."

once a week, shopping list, stick religiously to the list, in and out as fast as we can, Grommie guarding the car with two windows open enough for him to not jump out. Shopping put into the boot to stop Grommie sniffing everything.

well said i love icecream for breakfast often have it with my fruit loops or coco pops,,,, and I live in trackies and thongs, i do have my dress thongs when I go out

Yeah, or at least a fine. The problem is that the courts don't want to punish people for making those calls, because they don't want people to be afraid of making the calls... they'd rather err on the side of caution. If you know who's making the calls, however, you might be able to sue for harassment. I've seen it done successfully on Judge Judy.

Most would say that money makes life more bearable, especially if that means without it there's no home, no love and probably, no food!

Power companies should be made by law to state whether they are owned by foreign companies...Alinta...just like "energy australia" spend a lot of money hiding the fact that they are chinese and pretending to be "Aussie"...I hate that sort of thing..and we just allow it...sponor whatever you like...but just be honest of your origins....

I agree that the GREEN ones are a waste of time as they ALWAYS screen out WITHOUT asking any questions. The PINK and BLUE are also a waste of time. I think Rewardia just puts those surveys on our survey page to make it look like they have much more surveys available than what they actually do have

Maybe its related to an immune response and can happen with other vaccines as well. Though have no personal experience as a mad menopausal madame.

Yes, Viola. I had them popping up this afternoon - first time I’ve come across them, and I wasn’t impressed. Provided a fair whack of information and was then screened out. Can’t see myself rushing in to complete any more any time soon.

I'm on several other sites, and they all have their problems/issues of one sort or another. YouGov is the only site I know of where you will never get screened out, because they check your demographics before issuing invites. (And also they don't have commercial/advertising type surveys where the sponsor company only wants certain answers, and will reject you if you give the wrong ones.) But I only get one or two surveys a week from them. All the others have their share of lengthy questioning before screen-out or "errors" or other technical issues. Rewardia has more of these than most, but at least they pay out promptly when you redeem points, unlike some others - one in particular takes weeks to e-mail out gift vouchers. And the games keep you amused while waiting for a REAL survey to come along.

Dear memebers, sure Rewardia have big plans for games and activities. Dee, Kaz, Zing, everyone - we are open for ideas! What games would you like to see here, on Rewardia? Arcade, board games, puzzles? More trivia? Music, sport?

I love the the extra rare roast deli beef fillet from Woolworths .It's great for adding to Pho broth. Slightly peppery and nicely seasoned on the outside . I tried the same at Coles both for @ $42/ kg. Coles was saltier through out and not as rare and not fillet.Possibly scotch fillet. A hard pass !

Huh? Why would you want more than one survey open? I've never attempted this. I suppose I'm monogamous.

Here I come to save the day! That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way! I'd prefer to be Dangermouse whose trusty friend is Penrod who is more like Watson to Holmes.

When you meet a Narcist you will know it. They like to dominate and get win-win situations out of their victims. So this chap sounds like one in full rage.

My sentiments exactly. A lot of words that end with S, are not accepted. Initials like CIA and FBI are accepted but they are not words. I think this is American!

77 still prowling, and when i die, i will continue my prowl as my ashes roam the seas,,, i was born to prowl

I get no surveys at all..I don't think buying an alarm clock is going to help...Rewardia doesn't care....it's making money...if you need to review why you are wasting your time..or carry out a personal shutdown period that is entirely up to you....or you could find a much better survey site instead..

was watching crazy fish videos was a bit more of a wow factor than funny but there is one photo of a guy holding his girlfriend upside down like the catch of the day ,i got a smirk out of it,,

We have a December 12th birthday and he would get upset if Christmas was before his birthday, so still do after his birthday. He was due 24th so some leeway. Really can not be bothered now, only put something up if grand daughter comes over before Christmas Day.

I think you meant wickedness? NO? So, you gonna take me home or what? or You want me to do WHAT? are 2 of my favourite sayings!!

Only time will give us the answers I suppose. I’ve had Astra Zeneca and Pfizer, and expect that there will need to be annual shots, tweaked from the previous ones, in order to remain partially protected.

I agree with you! Also some of their answers are incorrect. And yes I'm dumbfounded when I get one point and others get more.

It\u2019s silver foil on his back, and we would be happy to supply you with all the politicians we have, on the condition you pick up the tabs.

Hopefully the government / city councils in New Zealand are not stupid enough to bother with hosting the next one here. This type of event is nothing but a waste of tax-payer money - I don't think *any* have ever made a profit for the host country (partly due to the massive amount of money wasted getting ready for them), that's why the Commonwealth Games struggled to find a host city / country.

We clean the windows when they need cleaning, but there's little point during the wetter months. Mind you, there's little point any time because they soon get dirty again around here, plus it's impossible to get "streak free" cleaning, no matter what the products you use like to claim. :-(

oh sure A,, and you will be the 1st one i send the pics of the monkeys flying outta my arse when it happens,, we thinking about watching the shit show from somewhere else kemosabe,,,

My answer is based on living in Australia, so well, let's see the facts:- Covid is now running rampant across Australia, except for West Australia. Prime Minister and state premiers state we are nearing the peak of THIS cycle of Omicron. We all know from past experience, every time we are near the peak of one strain a NEW strain appears and it takes off again. In recent weeks the head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared that Omicron is NOT less serious and NOT less deadly as other previous variants and told ALL world leaders to STOP misleading the people in their country. Recently, one expert stated that although we are near the peak of Omicron we MUST prepare for a MUCH more severe and MORE deadlier strain to hit the world ( and up to date this expert has never been wrong in his predictions ). Australian government states they will do RAT tests on ALL students and teachers TWICE a week ( but there are NOT enough RAT tests in Australia ). Only testing the kids and teachers TWICE a week means one or more students / teachers could become infected in between each test and spread the virus while waiting for the next RAT test. The ONLY way for a "Safe return to school" is to do a RAT test on every student and teacher every school day. With the current shortage of RAT tests and every country wanting more, our schools will very quickly run out of what RAT tests they have available then have to wait weeks or months before they can get more during which NO child or student will be tested. Around the world many adults, young adults, teenagers, young children and even new born babies have been infected by Omicron, many of who died and our media tells us 50% of the people who died were NOT vaccinated, BUT that means 50% WERE vaccinated and some who recently died even had their booster shot. Therefore, in my view it is NOT safe for children to return to school UNTIL there are enough RAT tests. Having said that, children CANNOT be homeschooled forever and working parents need their children to go to school so they can go to work. In reality, it is damned if you do and damned if you don't.

No way,they shouldnt be in any school,just look at how bad the basics have gotten,high school kids cant even tell the time on a clock,spelling has gone out the window,just imagine the pandemonium if a good solar flare comes along and wiped out the phones,these people cant even do basic maths now without a phone

You learn by your mistakes (and hopefully never repeat them again). Kids need to learn life skills by simply living ...... and finding their own way, not by some newbie 'teacher' who does not have much of a clue .........

Thank you for informing us on this, guys We deleted this score record from the Scramble Words Leaderboard

Give him a chance to prove if the voting is a fraud or not. Let him prove it. If he is found correct that there is voting fraud, then he will be a national hero. If not? He will look like a fool. He has time to do his investigation. He's got until 20th January 2021 to show the nation proof of fraud. If he definitely losers to Biden, then he may try again in four years time. Yes, I think his American supporters and fans will vote for him again. I don't think American's really care who is president. If they like Trump and his policies to get america moving again, then they strongly support the Republican party. I do not know how Americans think? I don't think Donald Trump is an idiot. I believe he is quite intelligent. Let him prove himself. Remember he's only got himself to blame if it all backfires on himself. Let's watch the show and see what happens.

Don't sit too close to the TV or you will ruin your eyes. Don't crack your knuckles or you'll get arthritis.

The athletes are representing Australia. The Govt. spends money like water in parliament house and members' offices, accommodation, Government House luxuries like new furniture, dinner sets etc because the new Govt. General doesn't like the look of the old.which could be better spent on essential services. Why not promote Australia??

low point green surveys always work for me, and very fast,, depends on where you live i reckon, y'all on PP are rocking the survey world,, i get nothing from them here,, never seen any yellow here A, i used to do well with reds, no more,,,

It will be happening this or next Tuesday. Ask Thomas . . all points will be twice to three times higher. .and they will say .Rewardia appreciates your patience on this issue .please enjoy the increase in all points on our site. . Kind Regards . The Rewardia Team

All I know is that a cat will not stay where it doesn't feel loved. If you've had many strays then feel blessed that they chose you. We've had 6 cats in our married life and with the exception of two who had illnesses quite young, they've all lived long and happy lives. Our oldest now is almost 21 and the youngster is 16. A house is not a home without cats!

Victoria Hill Queensland. No one will know where that is. It's out west where we watch crops and cattle.

I sure miss living in Ohio. I will get back to the US one day. Can go back anytime since I am a Daul citizen.

Yes, plenty. We have had quite a few extra bonus azure survey days over the past month or so and I often get way over the required amount. In Australia.

If I have more than 30 spare minutes I go for high points, If I have under 20 spare minutes I go for short surveys or games.

Every time Every time Every time Three things to never discuss are Sex Politics Religion That's what my darling mum taught me and so far at age 54, it has served me well.

There is hardly a breeze here in Adelaide been high 30s for a week or so,in the immortal words of Robin Williams ITS HOT, DAMM HOT

i still have my floaties on drifting in and out,i foolishly still try to get on surveys daily lucky to get 1 in 20 takes away the attraction a bit but when the dust settles there are some good people here that keep the water warm enough to go for a swim

The first trick is to bring Australia's pathetic railway system out of the mid 1960s and drag it screaming into the current Century...Germany has its first fleet of 14 Hydrogen powered trains...Japan, China, France and Britain have highly advanced bullet/rocket trains....we have slower services now than when we had steam trains...we waste millions on studies and do nothing...we are currently operating like a third world country.... No vision...no advanced planning...no worthwhile leadership

It's the person's choice. I will be getting a Maori tattoo (ta moko) from my son. Not on my face but on my back (showing lineage and my life story). I don't have a problem with people getting Maori sleeves on their arms or shoulders/torso as it represents ancestry or life (not chosen from a photo on the wall of the studio). I do have a problem with people getting ta moko on their faces without earning it, a long time ago only elders received these. Times have changed where people think they have a right, I disagree.

It wasn't a Heineken survey, but I have encountered the same thing twice tonight, both on "ups" survey provider pages. Both times I completed the survey and got this strange "slide the jigsaw" page at the end, from which, as Edward says, nothing happens. I expect they've just found another way to rip us off.

People have free will to do what they like with there life. There is no crime involved. If two people are happy living together, they are entitled to do what they like. It is not a crime to find new happiness in, new relationship circumstances. Love takes over and nothing else matters. Let it be!

Our family are spread across states and countries. Social media provides instant face to face conversations that we could not otherwise have had. We have no trouble spending time together with family who are local to us. No need for any restrictions on device use. Within our home there is on my wife and I. So in my situation I have no problems.

I've got nothing to add to that...
