Unfortunate events taking place, what has your experience been if applicable and if you are comfortable to share any thoughts? From insurance claim to finding repairers and replacements, or is it market value and any negotiations that have to be made.

I overtook a guy 2 days ago and he obviously didn't like being overtaken by a woman because he rammed his car into mine and ran me off the road! I guess it's not technically an accident as he did it on purpose.

Do you feel that there is a significantly higher no. of people who are abusing drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, oxycontin, etc. in this decade? Or that it's always been pretty much the same since the 1960s or even before but less visual as now?

I had a friend who recently got scammed buying puppies from unlicensed sellers, he confronted him and managed to get his money back and that was that for him, I didn't get that I wanted to bring him down, so I ask you, you catch someone scamming you or misleading the public do you get your money back with an apology [maybe] or do you pursue them with the law and shut them down, hopefully, maybe get jail time for them

What are your thoughts when you first walk into a store. Would you prefer someone who works there to come up to you right away and greet you and ask if you need assistance, or would you rather browse yourself and ask for assistance when you need it? I've had both scenarios where I went to a store to look for shoes and nobody greeted me or asked if I needed help looking for a size when I needed help, to someone constantly asking if I need help while I'm browsing every...

What do you think about going out for lunch these days? Costs an arm and a leg, it's so overpriced ... Think it's time to start doing my own baking and treats etc. Prices has skyrocketed!
BLM
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!

It seems that printing money is ok while everyone does it. If one country decides to stop it, we could face a tumble similar to a Ponzi scheme.
Frank N
Governments printing money (called monetisation) is not a great idea. There are examples of how bad it is. By monetising debt, the government uses inflation to finance some of its spending. Although monetisation has more disadvantages generally than it has advantages, there is a case for some cautious monetisation to take place to help economies recover from the coronavirus pandemic. The challenge will be make sure inflation does not get out of control, as it did in Germany following the First World War, when the then German government indiscriminately printed money. Many historical commentators consider this helped the Nazis gain power.

Last year I had my grandsons christening. I ordered him a personalised money box, engraved with his name & date of christening, 16 Oct 2022. Since the occasion, I have pondered on if the date on his money box should have been his date of birth, 12 Jan 2022, or the christening date? I am interested in people's thoughts as to which is correct?

I don't know I'm not Catholic. We bless babies in our church. Is a christening, giving a baby a blessing? I think it's wonderful to give babies spiritual blessings. :)

Hollywood seems to like remakes, sequels and superhero movies (yawn)...but with our current CGI there are so many fantastic books that deserve to be made into movies...things that would really blow you away......one is "Fairyland" by Paul J. McAuley ... I'd love to see that one made.... What books would you like made into major movies?

What’s the point of wanting a movie made of a book you have already read, you already know the plot, know how it ends and know that it will never be as good as your imagination made it when you read it… Of course if you have dementia then that would excuse some people I guess..

What time should different aged teenagers be given for a curfew in this day and age? What factors come into play when deciding a time that is reasonable to you? If your children are grown, or you never had any, please still share your feelings and/or what worked for you? If you have no feelings on the subject, that's fine as well. Non-parents still can have ideas on the subject.

Michelle S 553303
I'm almost 58 and my dad is 83 years old. I was emailing him on Monday and I told him how sorry I was that it was a very difficult day for him. You see it would have been my brother's 56th birthday except that he died 3 years ago in a car crash. As it was just my mum, dad, brother and myself growing up it is now only my dad and I who survive today as my mother passed away nearly 20 years ago. He said to me "Michelle, every day is a memory day". I told him that I'm finally old enough to understand that each day you find yourself reflecting on memories from the good, the bad and the ugly things that you've experienced in life and I find myself starting to play the "what if" game! What if I hadn't gone out to the disco and met the man who would have become my husband and the father of my children when I was supposed to be staying at a friend's house and not going out at all or what if I had been content to stay at the house my family had been living in, paid that mortgage off and reduced my full-time work to part-time and stayed home more often with my kids, instead of insisting that we renovate the home that I had inherited 75% of which was really my dream to do and to honour the memory of the ladies who gave it to me, but ultimately led to my husband going off with another woman he met while I was at work doing night shifts as an RN and then led to me ultimately having to walk away from and go bankrupt. I could do this all day but the nights are the worst. I don't think when I was younger that I could perceive of me at 57, hardly able to walk, with very little money and without an ability to do the things I used to love, including my job, and existing in constant pain. THIS me was abstract like a Picasso and bore no resemblance to who I am today and I think that we all reach a point in our lives where we can reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly and some of us can find peace in that, but I look back on my life, on my kids and EVERYTHING else and I ABSOLUTELY wish, with ALL my heart, that I hadn't ever been born! Thanks for reading.

We are going through yet another tough time in our family-extremely serious. I am curious-what do you draw strength from when things are scary, bleak, or overwhelming? I myself am a Christian, and I do believe prayer helps, but I also keep my friends and family very close. Not trying to be controversial....it's on my mind right now. It's awful when you are having it come from more than one direction. That's it. Thanks and take care of yourselves.
Gigi
Well, Nancy, whatever is hittin you hard right now, I'm very sorry you are going through such turmoil. I'm Christian too and the only place real peace and coping comes from is our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ. Christ knows your heart and situation because He knows you intimately and there is a reason behind what you're going through. You've got to keep praying and putting one foot in front of the other and cry and let your pain out that way if it helps. I'm going through incredibly tough times too, so I can empathize with you and feeling like you have nowhere to turn and that your burdens are too heavy. My husband is young and term ill. He's dying before my eyes, my sweet loving husband who is a wonderful man, which is hard to find these days... but that's beside the point. I just can't stand the thought of losing him soon and the wrenching my heart will go through. I have a severe debilitating disability myself and it's difficult to care for him when I'm having such a hard time. But it is a privilege to care for him and have the little time I do have left. Just remember that you are not alone. There are people in your life that I know must love and care about you immensely and don't want to see you suffer. Try to put good things, (books, movies, positive talk) into your head so you are feeding your soul positivity and not negativity. Stay close to your God. He's there, I know He is. I wish there was a magical answer to going through tough times, but really there isn't. I only know what I try to do to help myself through mine. I find that focusing on other people and doing acts of service for others always helps me to feel better and focus on others who are hurting too. I will remember your name and what you've written here and include you in my daily quiet time that I take to talk to my Heavenly Father. I don't know you, except what you wrote, but I assure you, your Heavenly Father sure does. I am your sister in life. Please know you are loved. Peace and clarity be yours.

Disie
I just got a partial upper plate but wasn't ready for the lack of taste and texture. Not having the food on your palate takes that. You still taste, but it's not as intense. I actually cried when they told me. So I understand your hesitancy. The one question I'll ask is; Is it necessary for you to eat properly and still have healthy gums and teeth? If so, keep your teeth for as long as possible,

Do you find living in a country area makes you a second class citizen, but a happier and healthier one?
Pearlz
I lived in the country and I was not happier. Anytime we had any type of medical problem we had to travel for an hour for treatment. Anytime we wanted to shop in a large store we had to travel for an hour. Our fuel cost more as did many other things due to transport. We had 2 TV stations and one local radio station. There were far more drugs around than we ever saw in the big smoke and our children got a better education and better jobs. Even 20 years later our friends who remained there still had to travel for some medical appointments. The only thing we did miss was the beach and stopped going once we had moved. Far too many people at suburban beaches.

Yes it is bad for your health but it has superior cooking qualities.
Cast iron is the safest of all the metals if you're not prone to overdosing on Iron so it's great for women of reproductive age and growing children (due to needing extra iron) but not so great for men.
The most inert material you can cook with is soda lime glass or borosilicate glass. Stay away from leaded glasses which leach lead.

Do you have pets? If so, what kind? Do you have any interesting or unusual pets? Did you grow up with pets? My daughter has 2 rescue cats who are real characters & who have brought much joy into our lives. I like dogs, but I do prefer cats, as I love their independent nature. They can also be very affectionate & love attention. I didn't grow up with pets and if it were just me, I probably wouldn't have any, but they have brought much joy to the house with...
Pearlz
When I suggested this topic it was ignored. Perhaps it was the way I framed it. I am a cat person and while I have had dogs it's cats I can't live without. My 16 year old lady left us last September so I now only have 5 boys. They are all rescues so come with health problems but I love them, not like children but family members who are animals. My one rule is that they don't have human names, and I never use the same name twice, the name also has to suit the personality. All 5 have long fur which annoys my husband as he feels they shed, they don't really as they usually leave it on chairs or clothing. I have always had at least one cat other than when I lived overseas. All of the cats has it's own personality and all 5 own me. They are neurotic, bossy, fussy but love unconditionally and get very annoyed if we go away for any reason. They are very independent, dogs are far too needy for my liking, but they know if I'm not feeling well and will stay with me even if they have to hiss and growl at anyone that attempts to get closer. They help me garden, they always want to go with me when I walk and will hide so that I can't see them until they get frightened by a car or dog and I hear them crying. I had to carry one home from almost a block away one day and the bus scared him so much he almost got away from me. They are sticky beaks who have to know where I am at all times. They help me when I'm sewing or making the bed, oh that's great fun, they also enjoy a feather duster, getting into drawers, cupboards and washing baskets. I was missing one once and looked everywhere for him but I was pretty sure he hadn't left home. The following morning I turned the dryer on to air my towels and I heard a loud banging and when I looked his little face was looking through the dryer door at me. He had gotten in while I left the dryer open as I took the towels off the clothesline the previous afternoon. I hugged him so hard as it could have ended quite badly and he was very forgiving but hungry. Ny eldest son keeps birds and doesn't like cats, he says they are sneaky, my daughter has no pets but prefers dogs while my youngest son must take after me and has 5 cats. My grandchildren call me the crazy cat lady but they all love my cats. The feeling sadly is not reciprocated.

It's thought that one of the reasons for rising rentals is the availability of short stay accommodation, run by them companies like those of Airbnb. Some people are saying that these companies should be regulated as they are helping to force up market rents, and they are taking advantage of the market to earn money for their particular-- company, and preventing some people from accessing long term rental properties. Your Views?
Jellypony
We had a brand new house we rented to a couple with 2 children for 4 years while we did our trip around Australia and I would never rent any thing again. The amount the real estate said was normal wear and tear was just total BS. Who can blow up an oven in 4 years? Tried to fix the water tank after their puppy chewed the wires, totally failed to any way. So with short term rentals I think the damage could be worse and I would never do that because there is no respect for other peoples belongings. Use and abuse then some of the better tenants are tarred with the same brush. Like most things there is always some one whom will spoil it for every one else. I read about a couple with 2 children and another on the way having to live in a tent because there aren't any rentals available in their area. It's sad and temporary housing needs to be arranged for these people. As much as I wouldn't rent any thing again surely there are others that would. Some are selling up as interest rates rise and this will only add to the problem but then a first home buyer gets a chance to buy. Rent is dead money so if the younger ones can buy it is better but then are they still going to be around that area in 3 or 4 years? It's a hard one that is for sure.

I don't understand why Elon and Twitter is such a big deal. Not to sound condescending but the majority of the world don't actually care about Twitter. On a side note: Notice how almost every time Elon is reported on in the news etc he is either doing some very silly dance or pulling a weird face when they show footage of him? Doesn't matter what channel. Does the media feel threatened by him or something?

Do people tend to copy the ideas of others, especially the groups they belong to? Do they then shut out other ideas as a threat to their social position within their group.? When they said the world was not flat or that the Earth was not the centre of the Solar System, scientific groups and institutions and the church held the new ideas as evil. So do people today think for themselves and research reliable evidence, or do we still follow social beliefs?

So they are talking about having 4 rubbish bins now. A new one for glass only. Most people have 3 bins already. Where are we going to store this one? Council doesn't like you leaving they on the footpath, they look ugly. I sort all my rubbish, rubbish in the bin, recyclables in the other bin, compost to the compost bin, soft plastics to the supermarket, and hard rubbish to the tip, where you sort out electrical, batteries, drums, paint tins, green waste etc. Where's...
DrSuz
It would be okay if you could choose to have four VERY SMALL bins. Otherwise I’ll have no backyard left. Living on my own, it takes me months fill a large council bin, and I resent the large bins taking up so much space.

Ok, that was a long winded title. As an example, my youngest daughter was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum in the last year at 19. It is something that apparently often goes unrecognised in girls who are "high functioning" as they become adept at masking symptoms. Anyway, long story short, I am pretty sure as a woman in my 50's I am on the spectrum as well. Things that I had always thought of as just my own weird quirks are most likely symptoms. I also...
jdoubleu
You are not strange. We are all on the spectrum. Some a little crazy, others totally nuts. It only becomes a problem when it leads to dysfunction in your life. Labeling oneself can be detrimental because it is limiting. They are designed so professional people can group a set of behaviours easily. Do not take it seriously unless it becomes debilitating. Remember all these little quirks and traits make up the unique person you are.

AA is in place for alcoholics! GA is in place for gamblers. Both are big social issues which not only effects the individual but also the entire family. It s like a ripple in a pond. Everybody is effected. Also friends and neighbours as they step up to help. The financial and emotional toll is unable to be calculated. And yet here we have gambling advertisements all day, especially during the time children watch television in the afternoon. We are literally bombarded with...

What does it mean to you? Is it really free? What is the price of freedom?
Bugalugs
So long as Governments, politicians and self-styled Do-Gooders who think they know better than everyone else stay out of the way and keep their mouths shut we have all the freedom we need. Abolish Political Correctness, allow people to think and say what they really think.
Abolish the Greatest Curse ever visited upon Human beings: Religion - at least Religion as it is today which has been bastardized again by people who think they know better than everyone else, who deliberately misinterpret and selectively use parts of books such as the Bible, the Koran etc. to persecute others who don't agree with them.

I understand that owning a dog should mean walking it...even when you don't want to...but does owning a cat...or a rodent.... or bird keep happier, healthier and more sane? a fair bit of research suggests it might ... what do you think?

I have accepted many stray cats over the years. They keep me sane, make me laugh and have different personalities. They have different mannerisms and like a variety of music.One I have at the moment loves Mick Jagger singing the blues lol The other one I have to sing his favourite song as HE tucks the sheet under MY chin. Only then he will roll over and go to sleep (bossy bum Maine Coon) LOL I also feed the local crows that have learnt to yell out to me at the front door when they are ready to eat lol I have had to bury many animals which is heart breaking but I wouldn't have missed a day being with any of them. They have given me far more than I gave them.

What is your preferred method of tanning, and how often do you tan? Do you use anything to prevent damage if you use a sunbed or tan naturally? Do you have any flawless tanning tips and tricks?
Rod R 101788
I slip, slip, slap. Spent most of my life in Nth Queensland & have a certain amount of tan that is permanent.
If you're going to lay or be in the sun try not to do it between 11 & 2.
A certain amount of sun each day with SPF is healthy, a particular level of brown isn't.

I was the first woman to be a tram conductor in South Australia - at the Tramway Museum, before the public transport service employed women. I also was apparently the first woman to be seen driving a tour coach in Victoria when I was on tour there with a group during my coach driving days. I was the topic of conversation in Bendigo and Echuca for a few days.

In general, homework can help children practice skills, work on projects and learn time management. You can help children by making time and space for homework, helping them get organized, and being positive. When children are having homework troubles, it's best to speak to the teacher.
Cuddles
As long as the child does his or her own homework. Often I found parents had done the homework for the child, and what is the point of that. Homework is a valuable way to practice skills learned in class. If the child can't do the homework, the parent should inform the teacher so those skills can be revised until the child is able to do the work independently. Also, I agree that excessive homework is not good - a maximum of half an hour should be long enough for primary school students.

Do you think traveling to a foreign county is a good idea? Would you need to speak some of that country's language or just get by on guessing what is going on? I have been to some countries like China, S. Korea, and Thailand and I found that most of the places I toured in those places the people could speak some English. I felt comfortable there. Just asking for others opinions as there are more countries I would like to visit.
Pearlz
My trip to Hawaii was cancelled last year and I do want to go while I am still young enough to drag my bag behind me but there will need to be next to no Covid out there. I don't want to go anywhere that requires sticking a stick up my nose, and I don't want to have to wear a mask, quarantine in my room for even one day and I certainly don't want to end up in a hospital in a foreign country. So no overseas travel for me for sometime yet.

We all keep hearing about everything we have to do to be successful in life. I'm talking about things like getting a Uni Degree, getting a job, getting married, having children, earning more year after year, having friends, buying a house, getting a new car and so on. What do you thing is the cause of social pressure and how do you deal with it?
lippy loo
I am in my 70's and we had it back when I was a teen. I started work at just turned 15 and I paid for my clothing, transport, board, health care etc. At 21 if you were not married you were being talked about as being left on the shelf. Always been pressure put on everyone but the trick is to ignore the pressure and live your life as best you can with a good conscience, respect for family and yourself and never let friends influence you in ways that are not healthy. These days I think people should put their phones down and start talking to people. Influencers as they are called are just wanna be's who really do not know much anyway but seem to get a following and many become quite rich because of this so called fame.
It used to be called keeping up with the Jones's back in my day and that was something I never aspired to. I still don't. There will always be someone prettier, have a better figure, be taller, have a better car, house, job etc. I guess you have to learn to be satisfied with what you have and improve it if you wish by common sense approaches.

With the current housing crisis in New Zealand getting out of control. Do you feel that it's up to Real Estate Agents to help the crisis by setting realistic house prices and rental prices instead of driving the prices up. These agents seem to have a lot of clout when it comes to "setting the price"
Joanne D 188999 NZ
i believe they go by the council valuations on setting the price for houses. Its the council that is at fault, making the land more valuble which in turn they set the price for how much people pay in land rates.

If you ask your child to keep plate in sink or do laundry is it wrong? Are parents responsible until they turn 18?
Michelle S 553303
I had 5 children who are now aged between 28 and 39. When they were growing up I and my now ex husband had his Italian father living with us. He had worked so hard all his life after being a prisoner of war in WW2 and became medically retired by the time my eldest daughter was born and she is now 35. Because his wife abandoned him AND the 2 children who were 3 and 5 at the time and there wasn't a pension available for him to recieve in order to be able to keep his family together, the children stayed with grandparents and great grandparents on their mothers side, and sometimes in the Catholic orphanages which were very cruel as was their maternal GM. By the time I met my children's father at age 15 Giuseppe would leave at 4:30 am and bot arrive back until about 6pm at night and then go to bed and start all over again. I mention this because it's important to the story. I didn't fully realise until about 20 years ago when I gained a little perspective and started to head into my 40's just what a wonderful man I'd been blessed to know. As I had more children my FIL would do the laundry, being fully retired now, the cooking, a lot of the cleaning and garden maintenance, including having a large vegetable garden that fed us fresh vegetables. Because of this being waited on hand and foot my children didn't learn to do the chores which I had learned to do, without argument, since I was a very young child. I am not lying but stating a truth that my husband grew up very lazy and unmotivated and this, combined with their grandfathers constant help, prevented my children from developing a disciplinet hat I had in spades having come from a typical nuclear family of the 1960's with traditional gender roles. My children have however developed their own discipline and now are functioning members of society and appreciate just what a blessing they did have growing up with a grandparent living with them. Giuseppe too got what HE wanted: :a family with children he could help raise and be at home with to watch them grow! My children talk about their grandfather often and his ashes sit not 2 feet from where I write this in bed having lost him at age 97 3 years ago. But children enjoy getting mum a nappy or "folding" up a face washer or carrying swmething for whatever parent is taking care of the child at the time. It gives them happiness and pride in their achievements and that's ALWAYS a good thing! Thank you for reading this and have a nice day.

I've heard, and read of some men, being treated unfairly due to custody matters. Some men lost their .. kids, family-home, money, other assets, due to these -disputes. Some have even suicided, or become really sick. Most kid's get awarded to mothers. Do you think the family court is biased in favour of women? What can be done to change the status quo?
Maria B 89860
Didn't someone once say "the law is an ass"? A very simple statement but there is no simple solution when it comes to broken families. Everyone gets battle fatigue going through the process and children get more and more confused by the to and fro state of affairs and sometimes even thinking that they are the cause of it all.

People in wealthy countries are entitled to healthcare and a basic education by law. Is it fair that this free education stops once we have completed High School, or should those who want it get a free passage? Should the poor be able to attend college or university without having to gain a scholarship or bursary first? Should you be able to get that expensive operation at no cost whatsoever? Is education and health being ignored or is it ok because the government is spending...
Sha
I think that less funding should be given to private schools and hospitals should have adequate equipment and hospital beds especially when COVID-19 is still an issue. And having a degree can't guarantee you a job. I wish that the government would offer free courses for people who are struggling to get jobs.

It's not just getting points for every dollar spent but you can also earn points for taking up special offers they send you.

Do you think there is any justice in the law and do you think the wealthy have an unfair advantage in matters of law?
Bugalugs
Of course money buys Justice. Money can buy anything, anybody & power & that includes the Police, Magistrates, Juidges, Politicians. How often have we heard an accused person being treated with kid gloves because if the "reputation" - that simply menas they have money to buy their freedom.. If you are poor you haven't a hope in hell of getting Justice. Just look at how some of the Wealthiest Organisations in the World, such as the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Islamic, Jewish religious businesses got away with so much Child Sex Abuse until the outcry from the Public became too loud to ignore. They were all responsible for covering-up and protecting 1000s of paedophiles and they were also responsible for "Murder from a distance" - some call it Suicide, the 10s of thousands of lives they destroyed and they asll got away with it because those orgnaisations had the money to buy protection starting with the Police and then all the way up to the highest courts in the country.

In all honesty, I probably outlay around six hundred bucks a month but it is most definitely worth it. And it will end up getting spent on something else anyway.
The dog house
I have not had an alcohol drink in over a year. As I have coeliac disease I am reluctant to have any thing. I do feel like some now and again but walking the dog helps to relax me so I do not need alcohol. $600 is a lot of money on alcohol. You could save that money and when lock down eases you could go on holiday. I also feel that the preservative in alcohol is not good for our body.

Self-care is really important during these challenging times. So many people (particularly on social media) are in a constant state of hysteria.

I do not dwell on it. I go about my house and do opinion polls, watch a bit of TV, take my dog for a walk, housework, etc. What's different. Never been all that social so I don't miss that. All these people who are treating this virus as nothing though make me angry. It's not a conspiracy, it's nothing to do with 5G, it's not made up, I am from another culture so don't understand, and worse the ones who think they can do what they want. I get angry at the ones who think they are beyond the rules and actually spread the virus to innocent people who have been doing the right thing. We have it here in Queensland again and it looks like it has spread from a few people who thought they could do as they please lying and crossing the border after leaving Victoria. Personally, I feel now as there is plenty of information out there and if people flaunt the rules and people get sick or worse die they should be made accountable with heavy fines, jail and charges of murder in the case of a death linked back to t

Perogies are the best. Haven't had them in a few years, but, when I do them I'll make a dozen. Boil them first. Then pan fry them with onions and bacon! I then add sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder at the end. Serve them with sour cream and diced green onions on top. SO GOOOOOD.

To many, the words exotic food conjures up images of certain types of meat that you cannot just pick up at your local grocery store. There are restaurants that cater to those who want to try something out of the ordinary. Bear, venison, alligator, bison and yes, even snake. Then there are those other foods, that although they are more common may not be to everyone's taste, like pigs feet, tripe and blood pudding. Now, before I am inundated with comments from the vegetarians...

Anti-German sentiment created "Clive built vs Jerry built" but in reality, German engineering was better.
Made in Japan was a slur created by Americans because NOTHING can be better than US built or produced but, again Japanese products are better.
Made in Taiwan was also a slur for "poorly built and manufactured" and I must tell you that many high end components of everything that is manufactured actually comes from there.
Today's slur is obviously "Made in China" but if you went there, you would have your eyes opened as they are way ahead in tech etc and have been for decades.
Like every other place, all countries have good and bad products. All countries also get products and components from other countries or, indeed have other countries manufacture things on their behalf so does it really matter where the product is from?

I quite often get \u2018oops! It\u2019s not you, it\u2019s us\u2019 and almost always at the end of the survey\ud83d\ude16. Time wasted and points lost. And, they have our information. High scoring surveys too, I might add!

I've had a lot of bosses, both male & female. Which do you prefer?

Had both, don't care what sex so long as they are fair and have no favourites whose work I end up doing as well as my own.

What is your opinion on which martial arts class is best for a 13-year-old? My son wants to sign up for one, but there's so many to choose from. Which is worth to sign up to?

There was a discussion on the radio the other day about kids "wanting" to do various activities, the parents paying for it, and then the kid quickly pulling out again ... sports, dancing, scouts / girl guides, horse riding, etc.
Before paying any full term / year fees (often non-refundable because you're taking up a spot and the classes cannot start again to catch-up a later fill-in), you should find somewhere that either offers pay-per-lesson prices or even gives a free trial. That way you can find out if the kids *really* wants to do it or not before paying out huge piles of money.

Dear Rewardia. It would be extremely nice if I wasn't getting screened out of nearly all surveys. I am genuinely trying to earn points and it feels like I am being blocked from doing so. It is NOT good enough and it is NOT acceptable. Please fix this
PatCat
It depends on things such as, are you working, do you have children under 18, how old are you? It never seems to be a realization that of those who do these surveys, many are at home due to health or age and therefore we can't answer the questions asked.

Scientists have been studying what goes on psychologically and physically in fathers before and after having children for years. What do you think? What does becoming a father do to men? Do men who become dads change?
BLM
I don't have children. Don't know if men go thru psychologically and physically changes when they become a parent! However, the articles I have read (written by scientists) state that "Gay Parents May Be the Best Parents". Gay parents tend to be more motivated, more committed than heterosexual parents on the average, because gay parents chose to be (come) PARENTS.

My answer would be no, just because you don t have kids doesn t mean you don t have friends or family that is looking forward to spending the holidays with you. I don t think parents should always be first in line, but I also don t think the person who has been there the longest should always get first pick either. Rotating is probably the most fair option. What do you think?

No. There are too many laws now giving preference to everyone. We are all equal & should have equal rights.

Assuming that NASA invited you to be part of the crew that next flies to the moon. Their task is to establish a permanent settlement on the moon. You would be required to stay on the moon for 12 months, after which time you would be returned safely to earth. Would you do it?
***...***
considering no one has been there, then NO...Ask yourself..Has anyone been to the moon??? Since apparently 1969. Ask yourself this. Who filmed that moon walk? LOL LOL LOL . I am on a fence here

Does it annoy you when people leave rubbish in the shopping trolley? Like the shopping trolley is the garbage. I found drink containers from a take-away and a paper in a shopping trolley, when the supermarket was busy and not many trolleys were available. A garbage bin had been provided at the front of the store, in a convenient location. What's next?
Jeneral
There are far more serious issues that concern me in this world than someone leaving rubbish in a trolley.

How to deal with bullying and harassment in the work place? I've been at a job for 2 years with constant bullying from a couple coworkers.. Management doesn't do anything I just don't know what to do. Need this job yet being pushed to the edge. Some advice please :/
Neo
It is sad to say that though companies love to say how inclusive they are and how much they don't tolerate bullying that they do nothing when things are reported and even going higher up the chain of command does nothing. Your options are then:
1/ Report the matter to the government authority for action
2/ Tolerate it
3/ Resign
Not fair but this is life and it is sad to say nothing changes.

An earworm or brainworm, also known as sticky music or stuck song syndrome , is a catchy or memorable piece of music or saying that continuously occupies a person's mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about. What song do you have stuck in your head today?

Do you have a motto that you live by and practice on a daily basis? Feel free to share. It will be interesting to see what everyone has to say.

Women who change their surname when they get married are subservient to men. I mean your maiden name is part of your identity. And to just throw it away willy-nilly, I think is disgraceful!
Metachair
I married and didn't change my last name. I keep my father last name and i am happy. My husband understood why i keep my last name is my father. In the end a last name is just a name. If you want to change or not its up to boths.

City planning and quality of life are believed to go hand in hand. If you were to think about public transport infrastructure, road layouts or accessible leisure spots, what in your day-to-day life is affected by poor city planning, and how does it affect your quality of life?

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.

Reason I'm asking is that I saw a post on facebook stating that you can make this much online but it didn't say where. I clicked on the link and it brought me here. I went back to the post and asked the guy how did he make that much on here. Not long afterwards it was gone. Seems he didn't like me questioning him. It would be great to make that much but I haven't made that much since I've been on here. But what I do make is just a bit extra money that can come in handy....

In a good month I might get around $90 which is around $3 a day. Looks like the person was trying to get people to sign up with his link so he could earn referral points. That would be why he removed it because Rewardia would be able to track who it was by the referral link.
