No, no, no. I don't have a pity purse only a purse I pity for lack of funds. I love my cakes but would never risk buying a "pig in a poke" as hate wasting food if don't like it.

Nope! It's a massive disaster waiting to happen (as Russia found out, Japan nearly found out). It is also far more polluting then every other form of energy creation combined - nuclear waste takes millions, if not billions, of years to disappear and they have no idea what to actually do with it. There are no nuclear reactors in New Zealand and the government long ago banned nuclear-powered ships (including the US Navy) from even visiting here.

It was professor plum ,in the laundry with the drainpipe ..

I truly "LOVE" how people see jobs in trades (plumber, chippie, sparkie, gardener, etc) or retail as a lower rated job, like the people who work those jobs are a lesser person to someone who has completed many years of uni or has a high degree. If it wasn't for cleaners, retail staff, check out operators, tradies and the like, how would you be able to do your shopping or even live? You would not have a house to live in- lots of tradies helped to build the vast majority of homes we all live in, without retail staff there'd be no shops operating, without cleaning staff many businesses would be piled high in filth. I know of people who have doctorates, people who are A/Prof's who are cleaners or are doing labouring jobs or retail work as they simply cannot get work in their field, or maybe their job got too stressful, so they chose to do something completely different. These people also do a lot of volunteer work in roles some other "well educated" would not dream of doing. I think it comes down to how you are raised. If you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth and your parents taught you to look down on those with "lesser jobs", then sadly i think it will be very hard to change how one sees and treats other people and you may struggle with life if you're thrown a curve ball. If you're raised to treat the cleaners, retail workers and garbage truck driver with respect and talk to them as a fellow equal human being, than i think you're a well rounded person who will do fine in life and be able to handle whatever the world throws their way. And just as a FYI- Plumbers and tradies do up to 4years study/on the job training. Bartenders and coffee shop workers also do a lot of training courses and need to get accreditation for some of their roles. Same with grocery store workers. Yes, it's a job where you can start with no experience, but after doing the job for a while, you will realise you deal with many different things- abusive and/or rude customers, customers who they tell their deepest secrets to, you will sometimes be the ONLY person an individual (customer) interacts with, you will form friendships with customers, you will learn a lot about how a business is run. If you study for a decade and are still miserable, was it all worth it? If you start an entry level job and thoroughly enjoy it, do you consider this to be a waste of your education or the fact you have had an amazing opportunity open up for you?

Toyota or Mazda but, but as Roslyn A says, hybrid or EV would be great but at present too expensive even for a used one. Manual or Automatic. I know this may sound a bit sexist but I think most young men would prefer a Manual as they are more fun to drive!

Good for You! I would not feel bad, actually I'd be Happy, if all of the electronic devices disappeared from the earth! Not only would people begin to socialize again, including children, but we'd all be healthier and happier! The world would be a better place, and would also be healthier! ;-D

Of course, wouldn't anyone do that ?? Why would you even need to think about it ?? Just imagine yourself in that situation. How would you feel if people ignored you thinking yiou were drunk?? Thank heavens 2 cars stopped recently when my husband had a fall on the footpath, it was darkish, but they stopped and helped him up. He was only a few steps from home, so he was fine. I can't believe that you would have to stop and think before acting,.

A lot of homeless people choose to be homeless, it is not up to the taxpayer to pay for everything for them, a lot of working people can't afford to buy, cigarettes, alcohol drugs etc but are expected to pay for people who have chosen their life style. The Government uses the money from tax payers but treat it as it is their God given right to spend it the way they choose. And yes I do know what it is like to go hungry, not have shoes to wear. I was sent out by my Mother to steal peoples milk money when I was young. Mum always had enough to buy hers and my oldest brothers smokes and go to the movies 2 or 3 times a week while I at 8 years old was left to look after 3 brothers and a sister aged 6, 4, 3 and 2 years old. Often all we had to eat was stale bread with hot water poured over it. The more she was given the more entitled she felt. Never worked a day in her life. My brother who was 6 years and sister 5 years older than me had already been put in care because Mum could't look after them. I made up my mind when I was young that I was not going to live like that. I never smoked, started working at 14 and only brought what we could afford. It was going well until we got scammed through an invoice 4 years ago.

A bit of surgery is one thing, but don't change who you are. Additionally, I get not everyone is a size 2, but the obesity that's being accepted in the name of "positivity" is unhealthy and leads to additional health problems.

You have no-one to blame but yourselves. You vote with your feet and if you don't like what you are offered then take your business elsewhere. The banks introduced ATMs' and you queued to use them not giving a wit about the teller whose job it replaced. You were offered internet banking and you were in a hurry to sign up for it, once again replacing people. Then it was the banking app and use your mobile all the while doing people out of a job. Branches closed and ATM's were removed, do you now why? Most ATM's are owned by people who buy them as an investment, they cost money to own because the Reserve Bank charges people for the money they put into ATM's so when you paid at Woollies or Coles with your phone and took out cash the costs of keeping ATM's was more than the earnings so they were removed. Don't complain, don't whinge because you brought this upon yourself. I don't have a smartphone, I don't trust them, especially with my personal banking. Apps aren't as secure as websites, not your side but the other end and people you interact with. I still use the website but my bank is trying to close it and push me off onto an app of course because it's cheaper, but I'm not going without a loud noise. Not everyone wants to bank online, some people forget how to do things online as they age, some people aren't as capable as others to go online or on an app so Banks should be somewhat responsible for pushing everyone online where they get ripped off or scammed. It's too late now the horse has bolted, you chose a machine and technology over a person. I'll use technology when it's a benefit but I MUCH prefer to deal with a real live person, I queue at the checkout to keep the checkout person employed and I like to shop in stores to keep the sales people employed. Any business that tries to push me into having a smartphone I ditch because I don't want one or the apps they insist I need. Every action has consequences and not using people results in no people being required. Think about that the next time you use serf service.

You need to seek professional help. Asking your boyfriend to make your decisions is putting too much stress on him and you may lose him. Get help from a professional and keep your relationship on a loving basis.

When I trained as an EN (Enrolled Nurse) in the early 1990's I was paid for the entire year, whether it was a study day or a working on the ward day. As a newly divorced mother with 3 young children I could not have done it if I had to pay for it instead of being paid. Having hands on training is best for good patient care. Years later so many times young RN's would come onto the ward doing a 'placement' and they would complain about having to do some basic nursing task, they would say that they are supposed to be giving medications and taking blood for tests not making beds and emptying bed pans. They are just in the job for the money and the 'prestige'.

Most people who cheat are narcissists that think they will never be caught. When found out they first go on the offensive and say it's all in your mind, then when given incontrovertible proof they blame you for your inadequacies or say it was a mistake and they'll never do it again, which is a lie. They just think next time they'll be more careful. I was married for 50 years and he cheated for most of that time. I never told anyone and had no support, until my daughter picked up the other line at home and caught him talking to his bit on the side. She supported me and gave me the strength to dump his a$$. He was a bully and treated me like his maid not an equal. I should have told someone sooner.

monkey see, monkey do, if you have children and you are an asshole, chances are you will raise assholes,,,

I personally wouldn't want to eat a meal that has had that many people touching it & breathing on it in this day & age. But, to each their own.

WHAT . Maybe AnynomousUser1234 needs to get a better translator or stop drinking the funny juice??? Maybe people need to get better organised. public transport is not expensive and if you are in dire financial hardship there are plenty of places to get a travel voucher. Next people will be wanting free food and homes.... Get a job, get your life organised and realise nothing is free you need to work and pay your own way.

The lower the points the less I do. I still wonder who does the average less than 250 point ($0.25 cents !) per survey ???. Reading below it seems all of you. No doubt they will going down again shortly and be an average of 100 points (10 cents !) per survey soon and no doubt you will all keep doing them. Ummmmmm.

What is bitcoin? Simply put, bitcoin is a digital currency. No bills to print or coins to mint. It's decentralized -- there's no government, institution (like a bank) or other authority that controls it. Owners are anonymous; instead of using names, tax IDs or social security numbers, bitcoin connects buyers and sellers through encryption keys. And it isn't issued from the top down like traditional currency; rather, bitcoin is "mined" by powerful computers connected to the internet. How does one 'mine' bitcoin? A person (or group, or company) mines bitcoin by doing a combination of advanced math and record-keeping. Here's how it works. When someone sends a bitcoin to someone else, the network records that transaction, and all the other transactions made over a certain period, in a "block." Computers running special software -- the "miners" -- inscribe these transactions in a gigantic digital ledger. These blocks are known, collectively, as the "blockchain," an eternal, openly accessible record of all the transactions that have ever been made.

You can only teach a child, not tell them how to think. Have Millennials thought about that? It's called taking responsibility!

No, it has always been that way where I work. The doctor insisted. It has made no difference the Covid. I only work 1 day a week now as am retired. However, the doctor has always said if you are sick stay home as it is not fair on the patients....or him.

There is more to life in communities than just drinking. There might be less domestic violence for instance. there are hundreds of different ways to socialize than getting together for a drink. Some communities are being destroyed by excess drinking. Aboriginal women are being killed more often as a result. Publicans have exploited customers for far too long. It is time to enjoy each other's company without the effects of liquor.

I have 4 kids and when they were under 5 Flying with them was extremely challenging, especially from New Zealand to Texas. I personally think rather than complaining about the kids..why not offer to help or invest in some decent ear plugs!!

We've been conditioned for years. They're already here amongst us. You've only got to take a look at the WEF's Mr. Schwab, his snake sidekick and the likes of Zuckerberg to know this. We are only even told the truth when it's old news.

Sorry boss I can’t get to work today we had a power cut through the night and i don’t have enough charge to get to work! A new Excuse for those wanting a day off! Also what if fire ambo or police ran out of charge oh way to job.. eeek

I am 89 & bloody independent. I manage & don't want to be a burden on my family. They deserve a life of their own

I Ike listen to story about health stuffs as this help me understand more. I never make fun of peoples.

They are called hobbies and not jobs for a reason. They are things you enjoy. They hurt no one and give you great pleasure! Anyone that tells you to stop is so wrong! I have numerous hobbies that actually cost me money, not make me money! I love to go for drives on dirt roads in the woods which I do alone. Sometimes I stop and talk to the wildlife or just stop and thank God for His beautiful creations! It brings me great pleasure to the point of even being closer to God. It is spiritual for me, and I love it! It sounds crazy for some, I'm sure, but you do your thing, I'll do mine! I've been unable to leave the house due to anxiety, so I haven't been out of the house for year! I so appreciate what others don't even notice! As horrible as my panic attacks have been, it taught me the true meaning of life and to love myself and others. I could always love people, but not myself. Now, I do love myself, and my anxiety is gone and all the horrible thoughts about myself are gone, however, stress does trigger them, and I have to be aware of that and stop the negative thinking in its tracks. Recently, my car broke down and had to be towed. I have been stuck in the house because I ran out of money this money and have had no money to pay the $600+ repair bill. I feel very anxious, and the self-loathing is trying to come back. If driving in the woods heals me in all ways, then I'm going to have to figure out how to afford it. I'm worried about winter coming because I won't be able to do what I enjoy so much! I live in Pa., and winters can be harsh. I'm 70, and I don't like being out on the ice and snow. However, I do enjoy driving in the snow! These roads are not maintained in the winter, but winter can be beautiful depending on how you look at it. I love Pa., and all its natural beauty! I am blessed! So do whatever brings you joy! As long as you're not hurting anyone, go for it! Tell them to kiss your butt and find their own thing that brings them joy, so they are happy and don't need to judge you!

Wish they would go back to glass bottles. Milk doesn't taste the same out of a plastic bottle and you can reuse glass bottles

It's happening all over the world. It's who can get away with the biggest lie no matter who it hurts. It happens in all parts of life these days, not only in the news. Honesty is a thing of the past.

Do you actually mean you were Bullied at your workplace? Your entire comment simply does not make any sense whatsoever. If English is your second language then why don't you contact one of the hundreds of agencies which specialize in teaching Adults to Read, Write and Spell, one of them regularly advertises their telephone number on TV. To the person at Rewardia who vets this "Discussion of the day" segment why did you allow this comment to appear?

This inflationary rise is by design in order to crash the economies of the world and destroy the fiat money system so that the WEF can bring in their Fourth Industrial Revolution and confirm their "Great Reset" which will cause a completely digital economy to replace the present democratic countries and bring in the NWO. Anyone who hasn't been paying attention to these psychopaths ought to because the end game is to cause a global famine that would lead to their being able to reduce global populations by more than 2/3rds and get rid of us "useless eaters"! The time is rapidly approaching when families will have to make a choice between paying the mortgage or rent or eating. It is THAT serious. But TPTB don't want riots on their hands so they have already destroyed the health of billions around the globe with their deadly shots, falsely labelled "vaccines" and in a 12 month period from, I believe, February 2021 to February 2022 the US suffered as many deaths in the working age population than died in the entire Vietnam war. The millenials are dropping like flies especially from cardiac issues. This is an absolute fact but you won't hear it on MSM. The hyperinflation will render the currency of virtually every country useless just like In Venezuela and Zimbabwe and Yugoslavia in the 1990's. The war in Russia and Ukraine is merely a distraction and someone to blame for this manufactured shortage and supply chain issues, but they have existed for far longer than just a few months. If you can afford to stock up on foods like beans, grains, pasta's and tinned foods do it IMMEDIATELY. Same applies if you have the capacity to pay extra on your mortgage or rent. A global crisis far worse than the Great Depression is coming and by later this year even MSM won't be able to hide it. Mock if you like but I have plenty of other things to do rather than spread lies on a survey platform. It's going to be HORRIFIC!

Never think that everyone around you thinks the same way that you do...almost none of them do...and don't make any assumptions or plans based on that idea...people are seriously much more weird than you can possibly imagine ...that took me way far too long to work out...It'll save you a lot of time and effort.... ..I might write a book about it

I believe everything needs to go back to basics. Start with respect and manners and that starts in the home. These days a lot of children are basically raised by day care centers. If you want to have children stay home for a few years with them and give your children a good start in life.

I have been drawn t0 0thers needs first since i was y0ung- but n0w kn0w i get my 0wn rewards being there f0r 0thers, my keybrd nt wrking- u cn guess which Ietter!! frustrating!!!

If you want your children spoon fed to get good yr 12 results, then watch them fall on their arses at uni send them to a Private School. Also it’s the place to get the A class drugs coz mumsie and daddy are all cashed up and too busy runnning their empires to care. Teachers who really want to make an impact are in the public system. Oh…. And no more government funding. Pay for you elite little club all yourselves.

I have Three Wishes and Two of them are achievable. One: Getting rid of the Scandal-plagued Morrison Federal Government - The Sports rorts, The Car Park rorts, The Extra-marital affairs (Adultery) by both Women and Men, the endless Lies, the subservience to the USA and US-inspired Confrontation towards China. To rid ourselves of the most Divisive, most Dishonest, Racist Government we will need to elect large numbers of Independents to control both Houses. That way they can force whichever minority government - be it Coalition or ALP is irrelevant for they are both as bad as each other. Two: To rid ourselves of the current Inept, Dishonest State Liberal Government of South Australia and, as with Canberra, elect large numbers of Independents to control both Houses of the SA Parliament and force the minority government - be it ALP or Liberal is irrelevant because one is as bad as the other - to act in the Interests of All SA citizens and not just their mates. Three: To declare Australia Neutral - we can, and should, be friends with all, as we used to be until the Morrison Federal Government handed Australia over to the USA and then exacerbated the solvable problems with China by joining in with the USA's Policy of Confrontation.

I hope so this life is not the best at times . I wish there was no hell I do not want any one to go there. I do think there is a good and after life hoping for a good one and for others to

Well if we were happier then we wouldn't need masks, we'd be able to face the world head on. The world is in such a state it takes a huge effort just to hold our heads up high.

Old School? It is where your Teachers were only required to actually Teach you to Read, Write and do Arithmetic! They were NOT, as they are today by Lazy Parents, expected to actually bring up the children as well. Old School was when Parents taught their children Manners, how to behave but at the same time to ask endless questions which the parents should answer truthfully - no matter how awkward! To show respect towards others until that person shows they deserve none. Old School was when Parents made sure their children were fed before going to school and at least one of them was at home when their child/children got home from school. Where Parents - no matter their Race, Ethnicity, Religion - ensured their children actually went to school. Old School is a combination of what Parents, Children and Teachers should do. Today far too many Parents think the Teachers should do it all.

As an Aussie who's news media has been blocked by Fb, what is this free speech you speak of? Even our TV news is totally leftist. We are only being told what the government wants us to hear, and so much of that is sensationalist click bait headlines. We are not free to pray for homosexuals as we risk a huge fine and jail term, even if they are our own children we are praying for. One of our Australian rugby players was fired for a religious post on his own Fb wall....

There are lots of misinformation out there I believe, masking up protects you from airborne particles what ever germs they are, especially covid germs it may be even save you from inheriting covid, and you are in trouble, I KNOW THIS I lost a dear friend because of covid. So Mask up you people

Not just teachers but nurses and doctors in hospitals are being abused, shop assistants, police, people just in the street. It is out of control with the thugs and as I have said before, consequences relevant to the crimes and I do not care what age they are.

I shower daily, I wash my hair alternate days. When I worked in Aged Care we showered clients minimum of 3 days per week, 7 days if there were continence issues. (Community care, clients were still in their own homes)

I sure do. I love bonsais. I had several but had to get rid of them when we moved from WA to VIC. I will start again someday when we are settled in one place. I also love crocheting. I have quite a collection that I will sell when we can have some sort of market stall. Hopefully things will get back to normal so that it can happen.

Let's hope that COVID-19 kills off all the anti-vax morons so that their childish ignorance is removed from the world.

Unfortunately, the teachers of today are those students who were not taught grammar and punctuation when they were in school. I've seen mistakes on school reports written by teachers. I heard a young woman say that it's patronizing to put punctuation in a text message. Patronizing? I felt like asking her if she knew the meaning of the word!

my opinion, backed by English as it is written, Zing, is you have not shown a plural by putting in an apostrophe. as for Banks., Banking CEOs' emoluments... it's what the market says it needs. Credit card interest rates reflect the risk. Those risks now are greater with computer generated rippings-off. oh and it's your not you're... you're means you are. and too not to re CEOs. Banks are heading for the cashless society. It started with EFT-POS in NZ in September 1984, for those who remember, or in my case were involved. Criminals have already spotted that cash won't be king, it's time the honest citizens spotted it, too. Never waste a good crisis. Banks used Covid-19 as the excuse to close branches. You can't beat Banks.. so buy shares in them and stop moaning.

WOW sounds like you really have NOT retired. You are doing an amazing job. Many retirees return to working out of boredom or not being able to survive on the measly pension. I retired any years ago due to emphysema and more recently a lung cancer diagnoses. Since then I had set up a foodbank at my own cost which I ran from home on behalf of my church but they wanted to use it only to help people within our church instead of anyone in need, so I closed it. I then volunteered at another local foodbank for a while. These days I grow fresh vegetables all year round to help people in need through a local charity PLUS I counsel victims of abuse and domestic violence FREE of charge. But hey, this is nothing compared to the great work YOU are doing...Keep up the good work

Here in NZ we are reasonably confident that our team of consumer and health services take food safety very seriously and only order recalls when absolutely necessary.

All insurance is too expensive. Whenever they can, most insurance companies will try to get out of paying. The nature of the game.

The main cause of all our problems is overpopulation.There are only so many recources on this planet.There is only so much drinkable water and land to grow food.And no matter what enviromental policies you put in place,more people cause more pollution..The only way out of it is srict worldwide birth control.Maximum 2 children per family

Everybody seems to think that it will be over soon...it probably won't...let's worry about the present and the next couple of years

l think that if you do the crime than you should pay for it. Why should the family if the murdered victims have to pay for the killer's keep while they have lost their lived one or some child molesters who has no intention of changing, they are a waste of space and resources, they should be put down.

We will see the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer while politicians will tell more lies

It depends on the award and how hard you worked for it. I was awarded the Howarth and Howath Prize (correct spelling) for Financial Management 3B. I had not studied economics or accounting in school and so picked it up at uni as a mature aged student. My closest challenger was a lad who was working for his dad's accounting business and was an entitled turd. I was working in the fishing industry at the time. We both went into the exam with a score of 96% and I scored 99% on my exam. I still smile at this because the students had no idea who I was and had their noses out of joint that their silver spoon boy didn't win. One for the working class!

Thanks, River. I have always used marinade on our food that I grill. This will be delicious, looks awesome.

Amusing that this should come up with a question about 'Length of surveys. Rewardia just had two surveys of 1 minute and 2 minutes. I must admit I was in a hurry but points are points. I opened both surveys. The 1 minute survey said 15 minutes (190 points) to complete and the 2 minute survey said 15-20 minutes (I think a couple of hundred points). Not impressed!

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, we're encouraged to do all we can to stay together. Actually, our Watchtower study for Sunday morning is titled, "Keep Strengthening Your Friendship With Your Mate". It talks about "How To Choose A Lifelong Friend", "Spend Time Together Building Your Friendship", and "Stick Together When Challenges Arise". An insert reminds us where to find "Help to Strengthen Your Friendship". (April 2026 issue, June 29-July 5 study article). We rarely, if ever, see a couple divorcing! This issue and others can be found on jw.org. \ud83e\udd70

WOW! Too many carbs and calories for this old lady who wants to stay healthy to live longer happily! Sounds like too much, even for me! \ud83e\udd22\ud83e\udd2d

Really?...I grew up in the suburbs of Brighton UK...we did high speed home made go-cart races down really steep hills...some tunneling and excavation work (luckily no-one died) and a wide series of tree platforms and stations that were made mostly with stolen scaffolding from local building sites...ah happy days...listening to the abuse from the builders below...when you had outrun them AND out climbed them AND they had given up chasing you!...(they were huge angry guys!) all the other things we are accused of doing I strongly deny...all that stuff with the buses and that one incident with the helicopter?...that wasn't us...it was probably other kids..and you cannot prove it...being a kid was SO much fun!

No, I'd switch. In fact I did switch and just as I was about to complete the forms the company I was with rang offering me the same deal, so I stayed where I was. I have been wondering about power companies lately because they charge so much but they all seem to be giving stuff away. Red Energy is giving Qantas Frequent Flyer points away to new customers, another company is giving a subscription to Netflix away to new customers, and tonight AGL is offering new customers the chance to win an EV. Why can't they stop the freebies and lower the prices?

I do not have any I dont travel any more I have seen everything I have wanted to and lived in a lot of countrys over my time its time for me to stay at home now

I listen to CDs mainly still have tapes laying around but haven't listened to those for a while. I tend to put a CD on when I am doing housework and crank it up so the whole neighbourhood enjoys it, I hope.\ud83d\ude07

What rubbish. You develop yourself and your skills throughout your whole life. A gap year when you're young is just an excuse. There's plenty of time to travel and enjoy yourself. Get a job and buy that house that every millennial is complaining that they'll never own. I left school and worked for 40 years. No yrs off for having children or gap years. I've had a wonderful life, travelled and now own a beautiful home.

dont follow influencers. ,I do follow and watchreal life people doing everyday things, eg farming life etc

For those of you shopping in Australia electricity cost has risen by 40% over the last two years because the Government is hell bent on going to renewable power generation and on last nights news they said it will go up at least 24% IN THE COMING YEAR. This drive to renewables is going to cost a fortune and it feeds through all levels of production. In Qld they just built a battery storage to capture home Solar generated power that would otherwise go to waste, it cost $200million and if called on in a blackout it will last from 2 - 4 hours and if not called on then if the batteries are charged then the power will still go to waste. So maybe the Supermarkets are ripping us off but price increases are being fueled by this mad rush to renewables when there are much cheaper sources of power that don't only work when the sun shines or the wind blows. I'd like to mention that the two major Supermarkets are US owned, maybe we should think about getting them back into Australian hands. Your Superannuation, $4.5trillion is mostly invested in overseas countries, have you seen the movement in the $A v $US in the last week or so, almost a 4% improvement, that equates to a 4% loss in those funds?? could do much better here if we put our mind to it.

every year its different but this year my little grandson Nova, and he lost a tooth yesterday because it was Christmas the tooth fairy left 20 dollars ,i was in good spirits but anyways after the unwrapping session this morning ,he asked what did Santa bring me, I told him I had been naughty and Santa didn't come, he put on a frown and went into his room to look at his prezzies i thought ,but he came back with his tooth fairy money so i could have a present, I was so impressed and proud i went down to the servo to get him some ROBLOX credit cost me 15 i gave that to him then he said i could spend 10 dollars of that 20 and give him 10 back so he doesn't upset the tooth fairy, so now i owe him 10

It would be great except for if you get sick and need more room and a place close to amenities (hospital, doctor, medical help).

It is called MATERIALISM (aka CAPITALISM). Have we gone crazy? YES! Hopeful fossil fuels do not run out during my lifetime - since Earth is the only planet we CAN live on - LOL!

NO I don't trust AI It gives out too much false information too easy to hack Easier for scammers costs jobs

People are broke because they do not live within their means. They've become addicted to NOW NOW NOW and with technology this allows for impulses to be capitalized upon...over and over again. People are slaves to debt and work....thus...slaves to over-consumerism because they say they "deserve" things. Which is insane.

This is great! Thanks Lachelle. At last, someone has posted something worthwhile on here. I've been surveying since Aug '22 and am surprised that I am learning things from all of these comments. Please everybody, keep the comments / info coming - it all helps.

Getting along with anyone is 'Mind over Matter' if you think about it. We could ALL get along Anywhere and Everywhere on the earth if people would just make up their mind to do so. How do you think Jehovah's Witnesses get along so well? We're all imperfect people. The difference is we follow Jesus' example while on earth, and follow the examples given in the Bible, overlook small hurtful things that happen, talk to the person about large hurtful things, and forgive them all! Is it easy? NO! But it's required to live or work happily with family, friends or acquaintances, and it's required by our God, Jehovah! ;-D

no. Passwords would be useless. Although if it was just how it was from day one. I don't think anyone would be able to comprehend what it would be like. So I was saying they're out there to get us with all there smart gadgets, Phones, Watches, Glasses, ear plugs the list goes on. The elite are trying to achieve being able to read their peasants thoughts still it may be here soon. Maybe our Neo robots will be able to do it if the smart earbuds can't.

The book I remember the best is a Golden Book titled: 'Pokey Little Puppy'. I don't know why I remember it so well, except that the 'puppy' was very cute! ;-D

The government simply needs to make it illegal to own more than the one house you actually live in. It would solve numerous such issues.

I have been homeless on two different occasions and no religion came along to assist me. I now own 9 houses due to my own mental strength. Timothy never turnrd up at any stage.

Be that rebel without a cause .. it's you and you alone who deals with the outcome . Take advice if you like it , or leave it if you don't .Find your tribe , have fun ,live life the way you want to do it without it adversely affecting others wherever possible. Just be true to your own morals and follow your heart. You were put on this earth as your 'Self ' so how can it be selfish to live it as you ?

I have a cat, he has his own bank account.. I put in $10 a month. If he needs a vet I hope he has enough in his bank account. If he never needs one, he can spend it on anything he needs !

I remember the Instamatic Camera (Kodak) and the Polaroid Camera (Polaroid) in the USA - in the 1960s - the first selfies in the USA started by the Silent Generations and pushed to new heights by the Baby Boomer Generations

In the case of what is potentially a domestic violence case, the police should have spoken to both parties. To not speak to the woman, just because the man seemed nice is gross misconduct. This is how people die at the hands of their partners, when the people that are there to protect you fail at doing their job. This is incomprehensible. I would call the police, and explain what you've just told us. Thank you for calling, most people turn a blind eye. Having been in this situation before, I wish someone like you had come to my aid. You did a good thing to help someone in need, so I commend you for doing the right thing.

Strictly depends on the situation and whether you are a firm believer in giving individual(s) 'second chances'! In family matters - NO! In personal relationships - depending on 'how much' trust between the two of you was violated - MAYBE. In the political world or criminal world - NEVER! In trivial matters (of no importance) - YES! I don't believe in 'second chances' per se, unless I am the lucky recipient of a second chance (LOL)!

I have a large woolen stuffed rat - many years old - that I stick a large pin into every time I get frustrated with rewardia - helps the sanity - but I swear to you the rat smiles at me each time I stick a pin in it.

It is easy to not use water if you just think a bit. Yes, the makers of automatic dishwashers try to convince you that they use less water than Hand washing but then they would wouldn't they? They are trying to sell them. Do you really need to Pre-Rinse dishes before putting them into that Water and Energy sapping machine? Do you Really need to have your dishes sterilised? Do you really need to have them heated to boiling point to dry them? The answer is: NO. We wash our dishes ONCE a day, by hand and we use, at most 8 litres of water and enough Energy to have the Water at about 45C.

family love is the best treatment one can have . Yes money is everything, but does not buy love. I have a friend who needs help every week for his appointment Make it my mission to take him to his appointment and bring him back home for love.

why when I get email offers for 500 bonus for completing Lime surveys there no Lime surveys available ? Do you also experience this ?

I guess they need the energy and motivation to do all the activities. I know that running around at the park and shopping exhaust my kids.

enjoy them no matter what because they will be grown and gone sooner than you think. that time will only go fast once you realise they have their own lives/families

Does the world have a wellbeing problem - YES - in 'real time' known as - economic and social inequalities, public health emergencies, wars, climate crisis, etc. FYI: In the country I reside - USA - we are exposed to too much to DONALD JOHN TRUMP on television and on online - just hearing his names on the news on an ongoing daily basis creates negative emotions at historical high levels in the USA.

I don't have children - NOT one of my many issues! However, some 'adults' should never have access to social media - example - Donald John Trump.

Well that can happen when the person is alive too. My Mum doesn't remember what she had for dinner the night before but remembers growing up during the war and being bombed out twice. Her short term memory is like non existent but she can still play a mean game of scrabble. Some times we don't listen to the important things because life gets busy or it not quite the right time, don't dwell on that. Mistakes happen and we have to get on with life but make sure you allow your self to grieve too. Go through his photos and remember him lovingly. After all he was your Dad. Don't hate a day because of the commercialism where it's all about spending money, Father's Day can mean so much more if you just put in a little imagination. Go for a picnic or have a nice lunch, go for a walk and reminisce the Dad you had. Sorry for your loss and he lived a long time and I am sure he had a great life. You are apart of his legacy. Remember him fondly in the things that make you unique.

Check the label! Here in Canada, the law says that the manufacturer must declare how flammable a garment is. Look for the fire code on the garment. I don't know where you are "hearing" all these complaints but they are quite probably bogus. What does a jacket have to do with someone going missing? If they had a different kind of jacket they would never, ever disappear? And "The Human Torch"? What was that person doing so carelessly around a fire in the first place? These examples sound like a conspiracy theory because some misguided 'influencer' doesn't like the style of jacket.

Same thing has happened to my son, always asked about drivers license.I suspect it's so the business knows they can rely on you to get to work and on time.A lot of people take public transport now rather than drive to work but they don't seem to take that in to consideration.

always recycle, reuse, pass to someone else. i do it with clothes, shoes and other things. while my recycling is not 100% i certainly try my best. i also use other, water system for bathroom, use recyclable kitchen towels in addition to my paper towels, to reduce my use of paper. i only buy clothes i know i need, use clothes i have until they need to be recycled. i donate ones that are still in good condition to people who may need them and cannot afford them, same with shoes. i do my best not to just throw things away. i am working towards minimalistic use of things in general but to be honest i find it challenging still.

Thank you for sharing such a personal and profound story. Forgiving someone who has caused such immense pain is incredibly challenging and deeply moving. It takes a great deal of strength and compassion to reach that point. How have you been feeling since that moment of forgiveness?

Sent my siblings and I out for the day with no supervision. We would go to the pool or ride bikes to the other end of town, play in creeks, disused tunnels, climb a tree and stay there for hours. All sorts of crazy things.

Grandparents help out because they love their grandkids. But it does require time and energy. I think some appreciation should be shown but not necessarily with money. Buy groceries for the old folks or treat them to a nice meal once in a while.

It really depends on who you go see. I've been to some Christian music concerts and they were true representation of love for God and Jesus Christ, hope. I've read about a concert by a group I'd never heard of and before the concert started they asked the audience who would like to give their life to Satan. CREEPY even writing those words down.
