Well, if the parent had actually paid for the 4 year old to join, then if you had any extra gift bags, sure, why wouldn't you give the uninvited kid a gift bag? She did pay for them to join in. But she cant expect you to have extra if she did not inform you with enough preparation time. The parent who added her 4yo kid to the party should just ask her 6yr old invited kid to share their gift bag with their younger sibling and explain honestly to their kids why. Am sick of parents not being honest with their kids and not being considerate enough to ask a host beforehand if it would be ok to add an extra guest. Would save both mothers ALL of this 'drama' occuring in the first place.

Getting to sleep is very much like the type of dreams you have when you fall asleep. The length of time it takes to get to sleep depends entirely on things like medical conditions, the amount of stress you were under that day, problems in your life, noise around you, and how active your mind is when you go to bed. The best way to get a good night's sleep is to try to clear your mind of all worries before going to bed or failing that, to listen to some relaxing music in bed. NO eating for at least one hour before going to bed, NO computer use for at least one hour before going to bed, leave your mobile ( cell ) phone in another room, NOT worry about things you have to do the next day instead write a list of those things before going to bed. Having said all of that, I am the type of person who cares about others and worry a lot about things which are going on in the world and it takes me between one and four hours to get to sleep ( Living on a highway with traffic all day / night does not help either ). As a result of this, I average 3 to 4 hours of sleep at night, then I get up and do surveys, then do whatever else I need to do that day then have 2 to 4 hours sleep during the day. Counting sheep does not always work for some people because if you go to bed hungry then while you count the sheep they might start turning into lamb chops LOL

I honestly thought this was already happening. We are eventually going to run out of space for graves in our cemeteries, as interesting as it is seeing the historical graves from over 100 years ago it may come down to those sites needing to be reused... More and more people seem to be opting for cremation nowadays however, so maybe it won't be as big an issue as predicted... Cemeteries may well become more for those that are religiously inclined. I know all my family are wanting to be cremated, personally I like the idea of those environmental burial pods where you go in the ground and return to the earth; plant a tree on top of me and I will be happy :)

Fantastic option! I think we are being hoodwinked into believing we can’t educate our children! I sent my oldest 3 children to school , then took them out and have been home educating for 4 yrs and my 5yr old hasn’t even been to kindy! As for socialising - if I committed to all the social events organised for homeschoolers in my city , we would never get any formal work done! Don’t ever let people tell you Home schooled children don’t socialise!

I like to get out & go for a walk in nature, amongst the trees. Sit under a big tree or hug a big tree. Let all your worries & stress go then. Nature is a good healer in my opinion. Be free & relax with nature. Get away from the hussle & busyness of everyday life. Relax & feel free Angel in a natural environment. Natural nature will refresh you & relax you. I guarantee it.

People will purchase if local products are affordable and of good quality. And governments need to support people trying to open their own businesses.

Yes and two years later am still waiting to see any of it. They have since become non friends over a different incident and in the time since we have also found out they didn't use the money for the emergency medical treatment they said it was for but they did at least enjoy a night at the casino on us. NEVER again do we trust anyone when it comes to money. We don't normally lend anyway but these two were such good, long time friends so we thought this was an exception. Sadly, from now on, no matter how desperate anyone is, we will not be helping them in this way.

I had sleep aponea at 80%, could not cope with that machine so i went on a weight loss programme and lost seven stone. Everyone i knew told me it wouldnt help but hey guess what it did and i no longer need the machine and sleep six to seven hours solid per night .

Robots will make the perfect employees - do not have to pay robots or give robots benefits - the perfect setting for a capitalist planet. I would guess that future jobs will come in robot repair, the building of more sophisticated robots, computer programming, forensic detectives, and jobs that rely on the ability of humans to think and adapt (in the spur of the moment). However, if humans don't deal with climate change (global warning) on this planet - there will not be a future - for anyone?!

Some governments don't even acknowledge climate change is happening so there's not going to be any action on their part. We as civilians can do things like not littering the oceans and using less plastic.

Sadly but true more so her she is a show pony and everyone has to look at her I'm gob smacked the family couldn't even have a funeral without her trying to but in the flowers and condolences could have been sent on the news of prince philip's death but no she had to try to be the big I am .Harry should stand up to her she is nothing but a money hungry woman that was looking for fame she is a schemer and mulipulater harry could have down better for himself .he needs to stay in the U.K as his marriage will fail and needs to be able to keep his kids the longer in USA territory she will have more chances of keeping custody disapointed he abandoned his nan at her sad time and not celebrating her birthday as meagan is not the only the woman to be pregnant 1day extra in the U.K would not make no difference .he needs to come to his senses where she is concerned diana would be disapointed he has fallen out with the family I only saw oprahs ads and knew she lied on that interview and as for Harry he had his mother's inheritance and still claims he's been cut off but hey your choice to walk away so don't cry wolf

If it is my friends or family/children eating my food?- easy to forgive. The trusted relative who spread vicious lies about me and threatened to kill me?- they will NEVER be forgiven. It depends on the circumstances and who is involved.

Parents have a responsibility to think of their children’s future and to give them a name that sounds funny or smart at the time without considering the affect it will have shows a deep lack of understanding or concern of another human being.

I avoid self service checkouts, firstly because they are taking away jobs, secondly because I am not paid to do it and thirdly since the coronavirus too many fingers are touching the control that could be spreading the virus.

Depends on who they are. Most people are welcome in our house as long as they take us as we are. Most of our friends ring these days as I have just undergone a breast removal, chemotherapy and radiation and they are thoughful and ring in case I am asleep as I sleep at odd times.

I maximise the use of membership cards as much as possible. Get bonus points for buying certain products and every once in a while redeem free samples of new products.

There is so much wrong with your post! A sport is a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other. Golf fits that definition (Merriam-Webster). Golf is a sport, definitely, irrespective of your biases. And if you play without competing, it then becomes a recreation. And to suggest that grey haired, overweight, unfit and male is the standard required to play golf, is completely ageist and sexist - not to say ignorant as well... And Trump doesn't play it all day, every day. An obvious exaggeration. (He was even reported this year of not playing for a couple of months) And obviously put forward by a Trump detractor. You could have easily put Obama or Clinton playing to the same effect. Trump supporters will be enthused to take up the sport! Australia has a huge amount of golf courses per capita compared to other nations. We have the space where many countries don't. I would suggest the venues near you that are closing down are

Chicken with roasted veggies, trifle and pavlova. No one likes Christmas pudding so ice cream as well. Snacks beforehand so all 4 of us will be on a diet in January. Sad note, my 27 year old granddaughter passed away in February so will be first Christmas without Amy. Miss her terribly but will remember the good times.

Yes, I think the customer service definitely has declined when I tried to get hold of Vodafone to sort out some problems. I was put on hold every time when I called its call centre and I had to wait for 45 minutes on one stage. They seem to enjoy transferring me to different departments and promising the next department will help me. I ended up having to speak to 4 different people in one occasion and I was told different stories by those 4 people. There are no email addresses to contact Vodafone. I could only use the online virtual robot option and eventually it still requested me to call the same toll free phone number that I could never get help with. The problems were never solved and I have given up.

11 is far too young for an iphone. If he doesn't want anything else don't give him anything else. Sounds very spoilt to me.

It's sad that this question implies that dieting is normal - please love yourselves and don't fall into the trap of thinking that you need to be any kind of preferred 'normal' whether that be big, small or any combination of body shapes. When you die the only thing that matters is who you were which shouldn't be defined by appearance. Just aim for the kind of healthy that allows you the freedom to do the tasks you need to, have enough energy to get the job done and enough love and mental peace for those who mean the most.

Years ago an African swimmer qualified for the Olympics. He got his butt absolutely kicked by the other swimmers by lengths. But he kept going and completed the race. His training was in the river, not an indoor swimming pool, or the latest technology nor exercise equipment. When he touched the wall at the end he received a standing ovation by the crowd. Sometimes the losers end up being the winners!

There is a fast track training course for drone pilots in Ukraine....once you qualify you can have a well -paid career in Europe...for ever..this is the future

We will never return to the USA after Trump's crazy behaviour and his insulting behaviour towards other countries because he cannot dominate the world. We are blessed to live in Australia where we have so many wonderful places to see, experience and learn from. We also have all the beautiful Pacific Islands and now flights are so cheap to the friendly European countries. Who needs to watch the Americans suffering in their own country because of a madman?

I have no doubts that would be fabulous. Thank you taking the time to post this recipe. \ud83d\ude00\ud83d\ude0b\ud83e\udd24

The person in the mirror is a "mirror image" and not what you look like at all...you need two mirrors and look at the original image through ITS reflection....and if you stare at yourself for 30 minutes there is clearly something VERY wrong with you...you need therapy and medication....I hope that helps...

Do parents have a favorite child? YES (and I was definitely NOT my parents' favorite child)! Should parents have a favorite child? NO (but human behavior (especially as a parent) being what it is)! Do I have a favorite child (as an adult)? NO (however, never had a kid and never like kids even when I was a kid)!

I had this a fair few years back at the supermarket while I was checking out @ 40 yrs old ,,busy unloading stuff onto the conveyor,,I had been to the beach and my hair was down ,no makeup ,,the woman in front was chatting to the checkout girl about someone in a movie and they couldn't remember her name ,,ohh what's her name ? They said..but doesn't she look just like her ? It was then I looked up thinking one was showing another a photo ,,but no they were both looking straight at me ! In fact when I mentioned who I thought it was (as I had been stopped in the street another time by a spruiker for the same thing and also been told by a work colleague as well )and they said YES! ,,l was totally happy for the day ! Of course the best comes from family when my sister grounds me and said only in a distant photo you do !

I have a sister who knows my secrets, and I know hers. I have secrets that were told to me years ago, that I would never say; it's not my place to tell someone else's secret. I have two good ears, but my mouth stays closed.

the heated lights in the bathroom that people forget to turn off when they leave the bathroom. I've walked past the bathroom and had to turn the light off because the bathroom was empty

\u201cThree things to remember when you get older: never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on, and never trust a fart\u201d.

Indonesian satay sticks using an Indian curry? The staff who work in my Indonesian cooking school are shaking their heads.

A survey by a major financial institution...after pages and pages of questions about fraud.. final questions..."what else do you expect the bank to do in response to fraud"..."offer a full refund"......"it appears you have done this survey before"..and its bye bye and no points....so you don't want my opinions recorded??...Banks...what's not to love about them...eh?

we have one of the most costly alcohol in the world and the add more cost on it the leave in a LaLa land

We have re-sold \u2018phone\u2019 tickets and have bought others tickets as well with no problems. You just pass on the bar code or pdf file to whoever you sell and they get it scanned when they enter. There is no way they should be checking your phone number or SIM card to see if it\u2019s the same phone they sold it to. My son just attended a concert with his ticket on his dads phone. They both entered the venue with both their tickets on the one phone. It\u2019s just a bar code they scan. Not the phone..

I was asked, If you were running your own diner or any small business. Would you hire someone currently convicted and still have dozens of crimes to fight against? The person might be innocent as every criminal would claim for themselves. But would you trust that person to serve your customers? Guard your cashier? Do you think when you hire this person, she/he would dedicate all their time to work for you or be distracted with their ongoing legal battles ? There was a promise of the wall, repeal and replace the Obamacare as his key policies in 2016. The wall was only a fraction of what the other government built, and there\u2019s no repeal definitely no better plan as a replacement for years\u2026 I couldn\u2019t see anything apart from injecting bleach! Vote wisely, the entire world is amused.

I want to raise $100,000 for local hunger relief - and have raised over $70,000 so far - but - since I'm 77 now - I need to "pick up the pace" !!!

Have a look at "jewel Miner! US ,mambers score 10,000, 12000, 14,000 nd many 10s of 1000s more points than we do. When the Covid19 pandemic began Rewardia told us that ther number of points for each game/survey/poll would be reduced which was fair enough but since then they have never increased the rewards for any members outside the USA. Why does the Murder capital of the Qorld deserve more than the rest of us?

Nothing. I\u2019m sure they\u2019ve lived together and have all the household goods that they need already. I don\u2019t believe in paying an admittance fee to someone else\u2019s events.

when I book a room I always book under the name improvement, why because there is always room for improvement... sorry have a dad joke virus

Wow, embarrassing for you both! I still get a laugh when years ago when I was a child, I was outside with my mom and a bee flew up her pant leg. Worried she'd get stung, she took her pants off right there in the front yard. Then she ran in. There was just 1 neighbor out on their porch lol.

Souls, I can\u2019t wait for the Orange one with the fake hair to pop on down here, we have a wonderful room for him, right beside Hitler and Stalin\u2019s room, and the one across the corridor is being kept vacant for Putin. They will have a great time trying to out yarn each other about how great they were at conning the masses into following their deluded plans to further their own greatness.

It's the same here in Australia too. There is a closed down school near us with a house all boarded up. Yet there are people screaming out for some where to live, homelessness has gone through the roof. It's just a waste and because no one is using the school it is going down hill at a great rate of knots. There's even a tennis court, why couldn't some government department turn the old school into some accommodation for the needy even if it is only a temporary fix. At least it would be being used again instead of rotting away before our eyes. The owners of any run down building or premises should be made to clean them up. My parents had a vacant block in Brisbane and Dad used to get letters from the council to clean it up and people used to dump stuff on it. I remember helping them clean it up and I fell over some tyres that some body had dumped there. They ended up selling the land because they received a good offer on it and it then saved them from having to maintain it too. So where is the fairness letting other people get away with not maintaining their properties? I guess letters don't get passed on to the owners but after a certain amount of time has lapsed surely there is more they can do.

On YouTube I find music from all over the world. I've used it for DIY demonstrations on how to fix appliances, cars, how to cook certain types of food ...just about anything. Product comparisons such as the latest iPhone vs Samsung vs Sony etc. Cartoons and children's shows. Watch stand-up comedians, movies and TV shows, and sporting events.

No!!!! I love coming to the forums and reading what my Rewardia friends have to say on topics. The games I enjoy also

When you click on a survey in the survey centre, it opens in a new tab of your browser. From that point onward, we don't know, and we do not control what this survey is about or its contents. This type of survey, where the provider asks users to join them, is called 'recruiting,' and it goes against the rules. We constantly fight against such practices, but unfortunately, providers still engage in them. We are trying to stop it. Our apologies for the inconvenience, Chosen

I have only ever had one dream about a future event...that was David Bowie's death...aside from that it has always been a fantastic floor show of great experiences all laced together... even the Bowie dream was good...he and I were talking and laughing together in a pub...as he got up to go I said "wait a minute...aren't you david bowie?"..he said "no mate...he's dead"..and then he laughed... that was three weeks before his death was reported...

My father in law always hugged and kissed me far too long. Always felt he was over stepping boundaries. My hubbie didnt seem to understand, or didnt want to say anything to his dad, it got to the stage that i avoided getting to close to him so that he couldnt hug me.

It all depends on circumstances on why you separated and why now you want to get back together again. One size doesnt fit all

The hair dresser was trying a style that he/she had not done before but they were still using their time so they must be paid. The hair style probably could be repaired, that is cut a little more for aa different style. Anyway, in a few short weeks the hair is back and the "new" cut can be tried again. Only Karen's refuse to pay, if you were the hair dresser would you want and expect to be paid? Yes, very likely, so pay up.

It will depend on your RATIONALE: WHY you did not finish the other two 'programs (academic community)' you took while you were in college - previously? Or are you a professional student (and not aware of the fact (?)). Whether it is worth going to academia for the 'third time' - is STRICTLY your decision (your life) and maybe 'involving' a conversation with your WALLET!

you need to report her to the police what she is doing is illegal maybe you can get your husband to talk to her with you there and he can tell her that he is not interested in her anymore and is happily married

I have no problem using bamboo cuttlery because being a plant it should dispose quicker than plastic. I dont taste any bamboo on the cuttlery and if you dobt enjoy using put a set of cuttlery from your homes to use. That way you can take then home to be wasged abd put back in your vehicle for the next time it is needed. That way you cab have the best of both worlds. Just a thought

i think there is more drugs than ever and the way things are going we will have a lot of Zombies in the future

I do not know I'm only 57 years into my first marriage. She still gives me a kind smile and a cuddle.

Everyone deserves luck or good fortune - PERIOD!

Just stick to normal local bank term deposits. They're much safer - let the bank take the risk of the ups and downs of the stock market. Stay well away from stupidities like cryptocurrency and transferring money to overseas "companies" that are more likely just scams!!

If you strive to always have SOMETHING in your pantry then I would strongly suggest that you get multiples of everything starting now! As much as MSM won't talk about it, there IS going to be a global famine and even now it has begun in African and some poorer Middle Eastern countries too. There is simply NOT going to be enough food to feed everyone and with a deficit in supply only one thing is certain and that is that prices will continue to rise in ways that we who have grown up over the last 50 years have never conceived of! Farmers are being told NOT to grow food or they have seen prices for fertilisers go up so high, if available at all, that it isn't worth planting crops but taking the insurance money for a lost crop instead. The "environment" has become the reason for the slaughter of millions of additional animals which would not have ended up on our plates this year or next because the "Nitrogen Minister" of a country has stated that the animals have to go so that "Mother Earth" is saved from the ravages of sheep and cows! Crops are failing due to inclement weather either drowning the plants or drought drying them out. Water is and will continue to be restricted for farming and even the growing of rice, a stable food item on the menu of billions of people all around our planet isn't forgotten by the architects of this intentional disaster. There IS a war on food and if you and your loved ones WANT to eat in the years to come you MUST make ready now before supply slows and rationing becomes widespread. It sounds science fiction or like a novel but we are ALL going to go through times we simply can't begin now to imagine in our near future! Fill up that pantry now, buy as many Mason jars as you can find and fill them, get kilos of salt as it's a valuable commodity and plant a garden with non GMO seeds! All the best to you all.

Experienced all the big quakes in Christchurch 2010/2011. The 7.1M/depth 10km in 2010 was at 430am. I woke instantly and knew - I genuinely thought the house was collapsing so ran outside although that was hard to do. I thought my heart would explode it was beating so fast. I left the doors open overnight for a month after that. The 6.3M and 6.1M /depth 5km earthquakes that killed nearly 200 people in 2011 was mind-blowing in its violence- you were glued to the spot by the gravitational forces. I was in the kitchen at work and clung desperately to a doorway. The noise was totally deafening. It was just random luck if you happened to be in a structurally safe building or not, whether you were safe, injured or killed, how damaged or liveable your home was. The shallower the earthquake, the worse the effects. After months of aftershocks (had about 10000), I naturally only took direct Drop-Cover-Hold action for quakes longer than 5 seconds and over about M4.5. I started hyperventilating at the occasional bigger ones only several years later. I only ever had nightmares about tsunamis and not earthquakes- go figure. It took five years for workers to turn up and re-level my house floor. Mother Nature rules\u2026we are just fleas on a dog\u2019s back along for the ride.

we see Auckland CBD as well as Rangitto island,since we have 3 windows in our bedroom-fantastic views

Do you really care what other people think? I know I don't. Live your life how you want it to be not what others want. I'm retired and have lots of "free" time. But always busy doing something, surveys included and answering forums like this one.

I have not been out for 'lunch', since December of 2019 (when Covid19 first made its ugly appearance in USA). Officially, Covid19 is over in USA. Unofficially, Covid19 - finished in fourth place (2022) in number of Americans killed by a disease (aka a virus) - last year. I still see people who are wearing mask - in public. I am still wearing a mask - in public - because hundreds of people are still dying from Covid19 on a daily basis in USA. I have a SEVERE IMPAIRED IMMUNE SYSTEM - WHICH LEADS ME OPEN TO CATCHING COVID19 WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES FOR ME. I have not been in a restaurant (any type of restaurant) for almost four years and I do not see myself going into a restaurant (anytime soon) - until Covid19 is effecting less than one percent of the population in USA!

What's the point of Medicare these days.. it's ridiculous how expensive the doctor has become. We are slowly becoming americanised and no one will be able to afford to even go to hospital eventually. It's pretty pathetic to be honest.

I have a feeling there are going to be a couple of hookups. I think that's really cute if there are a couple of Rewardia babies crawling around in the next couple of years \ud83d\ude0f

When my children were pre-teens my husband was very often away, often for months at a time with the RAN so I ruled my home with an iron rod. If I hadn't my life would have been hell. They were children and had rules and rarely needed to be punished. There was no acting up or swearing, they were allowed out to play but had a time that they had to be home. I really didn't ever have a problem with any of them and they were church goers. They are all married now with children of their own, they were never in any trouble, didn't do drugs and were not drinkers. They also stayed at home until they married which was late in their 20"s. My mother always said I had turned my sons into sooks but their wives tell me a did a brilliant job with them. Because dad was usually not here my boys were quite close to me and were always very helpful to their mum. One rings 2 or 3 times a week for a chat.

Too many apartment buildings going up in our area. We are close to the city and now the lovely old houses that are on larger blocks being torn down to replace with ugly apartment buildings. They will never last as long as these houses have and what is even harder to take is that all the lovely old trees are being cut down. It will soon be a concrete jungle. These buildings de-humanise the area and within a short time look dirty and shabby.

Started out getting 50,000 points in six weeks....easily....and over 4 years it has just got worse and worse...my current 50,000 will take 4 months at least I don't get surveys anymore...they now seem to have cut back on using my Trivia, Polls and Discussions pages...so the next one might take the best part of a year...I think I need a new site......read the technical issues...its quite an eye opener.....its a good job I like the people on here...and they give me a laugh....

I do not regret but at times realise that they are just not me so I give them to Lifeline. All my good clothes I no longer wear I give to the charity shop. I actually have 2 bags in my boot ready to go there but I still have a bit of my robe to go through.

I do not have any type of pets and I never had any inclination to own a pet. However, I saw a movie called "The Daring Dobermans (1975)" - clever Doberman pinschers (dogs) that were being trained to become bank robbers (once upon a time - a goal of mines) - my type of "pet" - since I have a ton of untapped latent criminal behavior in me - (aka capitalism and aka white-collar crime) - lol!

I had to give a speech at my sisters wedding. I froze so to not make the same mistake at my own day I wrote it down and stuck to it nearly all the time. I hate speaking in public the same as I don’t like photos unless in a group

no, not everyone who wants to be able to use it wants it for medical purpose. If alcohol is legal when used responsibly, then marijuana should also be legal under the same regulations.

I would give some to my family and keep a bit for myself, but what I would really love to do with the money would be book tickets for Brisbane and visit Australia Zoo :D Also I would donate lots of the remaining money to their Wildlife Hospital and conservation work

Not sure what a chicken bin is...The "bums" will probably sort out plastic waste and make some money out of it...I hope that you never become one (but you might be)....I'm not sure about what the last bit is about entirely

Yep- got one for my daughter at her fave Beauty Salon where she gets all her nails, hair, lashes things done. So different from her mummy at same age.

Just who is responsible for this big rise in Inflation? The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) must think the blame rests on those on middle, low and fixed incomes for it is they whom the RBA is punishing. Yes, the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that people are spending more for the Retail Figures have gone up. What the RBA does not seem to understand is that Retailers have been Increasing Prices - with, on average, the Supermarkets recording a 21.7% INCREASE in their Prices! So, of course, the Public are spending more BUT are they actually Buying More or is it simply that they are buying the same amount, or less, but paying 21.7% more for it? The Big4 Banking Cartel and, to a lesser degree the smaller Banks, Credit Unions etc. have steadfastly refused to pass on Interest Rate Increases to Depositors but have wasted no time in Increasing Interest Rates against those who have borrowed money from them! At the same time when the RBA Reduces Interest Rates, the BIg4 Cartel - all of whom make well in excess of $AU6 billion, post Tax, profits - immediately move to Reduce Interest rates to Depositors but drag their heels for Months in reducing the Interest rate they charge Borrowers. The Federal Government should pass Legislation making it mandatory that every Increase/Decrease in Interest Rates is passed on In Full to both Depositors and Borrowers and that they do it within 7 days of moves by the RBA. They entire Financial System is now based on one thing: GREED and Greed leads to Corruption.

Hi Mary, I have a good male mate, I spend nights over there, he comes over here occasionally (he lives in the wop wops). 90% of my mates are male (less hassle lol). I don't hide my phone, say where I'm going and who with, etc. There needs to be proof, acting on suspicion can break a relationship with no substance to back it. Get your family member to meet the colleague, if the spouse has nothing to hide then no worries. My partner is fine with my friendship with my mate. It's called trust (insert happy emoji smiley face).

Isn't the problem today that people want their McMansion, a huge house with 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 3 car - they must, of course, be BMWs, Mercedes 4WDs - Garages, the obligatory Pool, Top-of-the-range BBQ, A kitchen with the latest hi-tech, most expensive equipment, a den, an office, a rumpus room, a formal lounge or two. Yes, you can have all trhat straight away IF you win Lotto but you know that is in all probability not going to happen. Our parents started Small and gradually over the years moved into, if not bigger, certainly better houses. Today's younger people want, no they Need, Instant Gratification, they think they are Entitled to it - despite not having the money to pay for it. As we have seen in Australia, and reportedly overseas as well, there was a huge spike in the price of houses in recent years, Interest Rates were low, and Yes, Australia's Reserve Bank told us that they would remain low until at least 2024 which was wrong but it was inevitable they would start to go up sometime. Young people kept on borrowing huge amounts of money without giving a thought to the future. They wanted and "Must Have" everything. Interest Rates started to rise and have kept rising. House Prices are dropping, wages are remaining stagnant and now people are in trouble. Their houses are now worth less than what they owe the banks, eventually people won't be able to keep up the payments, the banks will foreclose and then what? People will start demanding that "The Government does something". I make no apology for writing this, but people have brought this on themselves. Greed and Self-Gratification are now the God Kings.

Being together without contention and not having to be doing something special to have good, quality time with your family. It's the little things that matter most. Sure doing activities is great. But it isn't a prerequisite to quality time with family. Just be....and appreciate each other.

This is a question...not a discussion.... because there is nothing to discuss...is there?..all I can discuss is your question...so I am trying....

Grammer is important in a formal setting (Example: Law office). Grammer is not important in an informal setting (Example: Rewardia.com).

I quite like the short surveys about new product or advertisement concepts, they usually pay reasonably well. Also the Red surveys usually give me 30 points compensation when screened out.

How about a book instead, it's just the one where the ending literally made me do a double take and really really stuck with me. It's Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier - they did make a movie of it though,I think with big name actors even, but I haven't seen it. I do a lot more reading!

yep we watched Yellowstone 3 seasons, I think it's on stan a great show, and bosch is also on stan I think 6 seasons, I also got into watching concerts on youtube

try growing them in your own garden,they take up vey littl room and taste s a lot better than the ones you bu in a supermarket,

I'm not impressed by them. You still have to make the cars and that involves the usual stuff. You have to generate more electricity to accommodate the increase in electric cars and of course outlets all over the place. I guess we need the cons and negatives to really understand if there are any actual benefits. Of course, the world is probably running out of oil so this could be the impetus to change the fuel. My car is 20 years old and I just had it serviced and checked and it is in good nick. Mind you I have not even reached 70000ks yet so I do not drive much and most of those k's were in the first 10 years. lol

Reputation in the real world (remember that) is hard won and defended...online variants are laughable...so much can be twisted and distorted..or just open and unsupported lies

I think it's wrong for the banks to do that. They should contact the customers first before doing so.

Really ? Bill Cosby, O.J.Simpson, Martha Stewart, Harvey Weinstein, Oscar Pistorious, Robert Hughes, Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris and I could go on. I know people raise these topics for the points but come on. Put some thought into it.

Up to the own. My sister dress her German sheeper up cloths but the dog pulled the cloths off each time. Will how is the boss?. The dog.

It is a common term of politeness but I do struggle to come up with more than "Good thanks And yourself ?" But I do find the greeting between blokes The "Hey how they hangin ? " A tad harder to reply to

I'm not slim and don't try to be. Overweight but at my age why worry. I can get around, play bowls and am mobile. Better than many 80 year olds.

Yes i think your eating habits change when you get older as i now have a lot of heart burn than when i was younger,so i have to watch what i eat.

NOT into any form of gambling - I worked too damn hard for my money (before I retired over 23 years ago and counting) :-))!

Perfection is a personal ideal. You can be a better version of yourself without having to be better than others. Better isn't necessarily perfect, but it's the best I've got.

Maybe there are more people now than there used to be. I have no idea how people can afford to take their families when everyone says how poor they are! Secondly, nothing is the same the second time. I lived in Sydney for six months with my fiancée, and it was a wonderful time. I know if I went back, it would never be the same. Besides, we're divorced now. I went back to where I was raised, and all I did was cry because all my memories of being a kid weren't there. Everything had changed! It's best to keep old memories and make new ones!

As its 19 years to the day since my own dear mother died from breast cancer at the young age of 62, I would agree that existing products such as the one referred to SHOULD be made available. There's a lot of government money spent on utter nonsense that surely funding should be made available to save many, many women just like my own mum. Thanks for reading.

It was all a con, saves the supermarket money and makes it money. We are all wrapping our dog poo in paper, right? what about all these masks, PPE, testing plastic...where is THAT going?

Yes, just look at Putin, I'd put him in the same class as Hitler or Mussolini. Sometimes, stupid people seem to want to change the past.
