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....

Parents got drunk on French wine, I popped out nine months later. My name is the nearest recollection of the wine label.

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.

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.

Never burn your bridges unless there are a lot of Russian tanks on them at the time....and....come on everyone..... when life throws you some gristle....have a little whistle......AND...always look on the bright side of life....

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.

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.

My sister and I were the closest of friends but she passed a couple of years ago. I have a couple of neighbours I am friendly with and can ask for help within reason but not the same closeness. I agree, if you are not in a social circle it is hard to make friends. Some of the older people go out and about but I am a bit of a home body mainly and I really cannot stand being with a lot of people anyway.

I thought I would have my honeymoon on the moon. Look at how far things have come but we still have wars and people still kill people. Maybe we should work on that.

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.

I would be terrified AND confused....I don't know what a banana box is! ..and why would you have a banana box in your house in first place?...you would probably have to eat a lot of bananas....or you would you be working on a plantation or something?

tried both and the smallest towns I ever lived in were ships at sea. That's a real test to see if you can get on with your "neighbours". Joy L., I learned to spell, too, never seen versers before, guess there's a first time for everything.Small towns? It only takes one person to start a rumour about you for whatever reason, and you're sunk.

I travelled through rural area's on a holiday and saw a lot of dead animals such as wombats and kangaroo's. There are signs asking people to reduce their speed for the sake of the poor animal.

Only if there is an outbreak. I'm fortunate to be living in Perth where there has been no community transmission for nine months.

Stop the breeding, Humans can’t care for themselves let alone another species, When will we learn that the planet isn’t here to entertain us.

Enjoy a lovely meal with my family. My brothers and their family is in Melbourne and we miss them. We are in Perth.

Too damn right, I’d do more of the same, as much as I can get. I’m gonna live till I’m dead then I’m coming back for a bit of haunting …..lol

Between 2% and 6% of the US population are hoarders. In the US it is called Hoarding Disorder (HD). Men are more likely to become hoarders then women. HD can severely affect (in a negative manner) your "mental health" - trust me - I know! Extreme HD can lead to your apartment becoming a potential fire hazard - if you are a smoker. Warning signs you are a hoarder (if you reside in the US): 1. You live alone 2. You are more likely to be obese then then the average person 3. You are a perfectionistic 4. You still have at least one family member who is STILL a hoarder (that you came in contact with on a daily basis at one point in your life). I used to be hoarder till I recognize I had a "problem (HAHA)". I started seeing a pysychologist to deal with my "problem" (31 years ago) - and I was able to stop beginning a hoarder for the last 29 years of my life! Yes, I am OLD! However, the urge to hoard stuff still lurks in me - I learned with the help of professional (pyschologist) to keep hoarding at bay for the rest of my life! NO! You can not literally (with your own stuff) hold onto your PAST forever - regardlessly how hard you try! Time moves on - you have to learn to adapt and move on - or you will trap yourself in the past (with your own stuff).

THEY DONT TREAT CHICKENS LIKE ANYTHING OTHER THAN EGG MAKERS. ITS REALLY SHOCKING. IVE WORKED IN ONE. MADNESS AND CREULTY, JUST LIKE OVERSEAS. I THOGHT WE DID BETTER IN OUR COUNTRY. THE CHICKENS ARE KEPT AWAKE 24/7 SO THEY LAY ONE EGG EVERY 12 HOURS. HONESTLY, I CANT SAY DESGUSTING OFTEN ENUFF. I CANT EVEN SPELL IT PROPERLY COZ IM SO MAD AT HUMANS

I have been badly scarred by a sociopath who has no real feelings. I would never seek revenge but I can't forgive. Everything he did was wrong and he has no sense of remorse. What's the point of endorsing his actions by forgiving?

I park as far away from the shops as possible. Most cars that have trouble getting into a shopping centre carpark are four wheel drives. I think shopping centre carparks should have a separate area for these big cars to park in. They don't only cause trouble when they are parking but make it impossible for a small car to see around them when trying to get out of a car park.

This has to be a joke. Children are just that, children, and to my mind children should be seen and not heard. Why would they have a say? They don't earn a living, they go to school to learn. It seems to me that parents do not want the responsibility of rearing children and want children to rear themselves. How can a child possibly have the maturity, experience and knowledge to even be given consideration in making life changing decisions. Children deserve a childhood free from such things, no worry or responsibility, that will come soon enough. If an adult feels the need to check with a child for permission to lead his or her life then perhaps they should remain childless. Is it any wonder there are so many horrid bratty children out there, they don't have a parent they have another friend. Stop frightening them with climate change, possible war, sustainability and all that other rubbish. Why scare them with things that might never happen. I remember the Cuban missile crisis and asked my father "will there be a war", he told me I was not to worry about it or be concerned but to let adults sort it out. Indeed they did and my father was right, as a child I had no need to worry. Do not put grown up heads on little shoulders. Let them be children.

Crime will always be around. (unfortunately) The legal system is very broken. One person can commit a crime and get probation. The next guy does the very same thing, and he will get 2 years. Crimminals really are not afraid of the justice system.

My grandmother had 2 small children during WW2 and they fled Malaya and ended up in Western Australia, she lost a baby on the journey. My grandpa ended up a prisoner for years. Any way my grandma was one of the first in Australia to put strawberries into vanilla ice cream. She made quite a bit of money for her self and her 2 children. They waited until grandpa could come back and then went back to the UK. My parents settled back here once they were married. I am proud to say I am in charge of our finances, I pay all the bills and I know where every cent has gone or where it needs to be. I do believe some women aren't allowed to have their own money in some marriages. Me kind of included the first time around. Not the case this time. It certainly makes a change. I still have my own bank account and I transfer what I want when I want.

first I would not go to the casino, I only buy lotto tickets, and if ever I won money I would share with my sons, plus I would give the birthday girl a few dollars depending on how big a jackpot and the rest I will buy an RV and travel the country from one end to the other, I miss my traveling days, thanks to NSW Premier that let the dreaded Covit In

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 :)

I sometimes take old towels, blankets and such to the animal shelter near me. I cannot understand cruelty to any living thing. To see animals being hurt in any way sickens me. .

Europe has a good infrastructure and not so long distances.Australia is completely different and I dont think electric cars are suitable at the moment.There is not even the necessary infrastructure and also the grid is already now on its limits.I will not buy an electric vehicle anytime soon

I like to try recipes from different eras, the ones from the 1930s are particularly good for anyone on a tight budget as they were developed for the depression into the era of food rationing during WWII

Maybe I am "old school" but I believe both partners should show their love and commitment to one another by wearing wedding bands.

No!, keep them away, give little people a bit of power, it goes to their heads, solar panels are good for the world, some little idiot should not have a say, fight on, you're doing a good thing.

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 .

I’d have a lot more money, and also avoid all those sneaky surveys where you get the boot after completing 98% of them..

No, my poor old Ragdoll is on her last legs and waiting for God. The vet has checked her and says she is not in pain but just fading so to wait a bit yet but it’s hard to see her like that. She’s 20 so not bad eh?

I'm Australian as was my parents & grandparents, why do I have to bend over backwards to appease the indigenous people of this country that my family help build to today's standards I'm getting sick and tired of the racist remarks of the aboriginals, they get insulted with the word black but wear black shirts and clothing with their own flag on it and everywhere else.

Parking lots are shared spaces with pedestrians so extra care is needed. I really hate it when you’ve backed half way out and some brainless kirp roars around the back looking so indignant and flips you off. No patience, 5 seconds and the job is done

One, not every family can afford (for one parent to stay at home - the harsh realties of life). Two, not every child needs supervision (I know a lot of latch-key children who went on to become happy, well-rounded, and successful adults). Three, not every family has a support system (grand parents and/or extended family) to help raise a child. Four, this is not an issue where one solution works for every family (PERIOD). Five, MAYBE we new tougher standards for people to become a parent (obvious - what we have now - is not working). Six, I am not a parent (don't have any children) - I am definitely not the parent type - and I realizes that early in life (I got a vasectomy - did not become sexual active till I got a vasectomy)! Seven, I don't have a solution (other then 20th Century thinking (this is the 21st Century)) is NOT the solution - we need an array of (new) ideas not based on 20th century thinking!!

No eating or drinking before bedtime, it makes me feel bloated. Listen to some soothing music or watch something on TV that can make you nod off. Lol!!!!

Absolutely NOT compulsory. The flu vaccination system works without being compulsory - why should anything else change this procedure. Malaria kills millions of children per year too and measles is much more contagious. There is much to consider.

I live in a rural area and absolutely love it. Rail - hmmm - what rail??? - We used to have one in Cowra, NSW, but the government decided to close it because it was not making enough money. Same thing happened with the airport. Now the only way people can get here is by train to Bathurst and bus the rest of the way, or you can drive the four hour drive. With due respect to Council, they need to try and get our train lines open again.

Although this year was terrible for many who have lost their lives but we will cheer those who have overcome their adversity & are here to celebrate the New Year with some trepidation but also hope that we will become stronger & more caring for our family,friends and neighbours

I'm afraid I don't have very much luck with the machines, they don't seem to even what to take my money! You can hear the machines moaning when I walk up to them! And yeah, agree with David S, jobs being eroded.

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.

That is a healthy option! That would make a serving for me! Anyone else will have to make their own! \ud83d\ude0b\ud83d\ude02

I like the pay attn questions best. If a plane crashes on the birder between the US and Canada, where do they bury the survivors? A: You do not bury survivors. If a rooster lays an egg on the top of a steep hill, which side of the hill will the egg roll down? A: Rooster do not lay eggs. A traveler reaches a church beside a river. There is no ferry boat and no bridge so does he manage to cross the water? A: He goes into the church and borrows 'a cross' to get 'across' the river.

Thanks for the recipe, but not for me as I am the old fashioned type and want my pizza in a box so that I can scoff the whole lot up, I am a guts

You can't have it both ways. All this lower petrol prices by using tax dollars is the reason why our roads are in need of repair. Where do you think the Govt got the money in the first place to lower prices?...from their own bank accounts? No, they got from the fund to fix and maintain roads. That is why they can only do it for short periods at a time. AND it's the reason why they stop doing it because it's time to focus back onto maintaining roads.

Was very good when Rewarda was new. Are one of the first to join. Surveys are not as good now. Their quality has gone down. So many have issues with the surveys. Im luckly i iam for 1000 each day enough to mantain my Platnuim Status. Almost had that level every month. And im one of the few who have passed 2 million points. Next month 3million points with just one $50 cashout.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I am a vegetarian. I will give your recipe a try (with some minor adjustments to satisfy my taste buds :-)). BTW your recipe reads delicious (River).

I filled up on the day the Iran war broke out and don't drive much but the price of 91 in South Australia is around $2.40 I think and the next fill up will be with clenched teeth! You fuel in NZ is very expensive KittyK, in February ours was around $1.59.

Merry Christmas every one, let's hope there is more compassion and love in the world in 2026. Have a great time no matter where you are and with what you have planned for the festive season, Good luck, stay calm and enjoy good foods with family and friends.

I like the older cars with manual transmissions and wind down windows which are plus for safety. If you break down you can push the car and even push start it. If you go into water you can wind the windows down and get out not so in electric cars etc. There is so much going on in the new cars that it is distracting the drivers.

Why are we saying "hot" water heater when all know that it's actually a cold water heater?\ud83d\ude42

I never thought I looked like Mum really ... but never forget once in a shopping centre a couple years ago ... a lady stopped me and said "You are ........'s daughter" Complete stranger.

Aaaw..Let's not be too hard on Rebecca...it's obvious she meant mince meat...not mice meat. This looks like a quick and easy meal.

I see Thomas is at the top of the leader board for Hexagon fall...just wondering how many points you accumulated? I am sitting at no.5 and for my top scoring game I only got 2 points! Hardly worth the effort. The Find Me game seems to cheat...I click on the man multiple times before it finally registers and then only ever seem to get 2 points.

I love most seafood but do not like oysters. The appearance of them and the texture is revolting. Yet many people seem to think they're marvellous. I also think kangaroo is disgusting too. Plenty fellow Aussies seem to think it's marvellous, but to me it smells and tastes like it's off.

I completed the same survey too tonight. Surprised to see a new colour. Also, my survey list has been spammed by Purple surveys today. All 20 of them, none are accessible - either saying you already attempted the survey or you have been screened out. Yet the surveys won't disappear, just sit there looking pretty.

In general I have found most In Laws are what you make them. I have seen MIL's that have been very pushy ..... but you just have to set boundries. If your In Laws are doing something you are not happy with - be honest AND TELL THEM (politely). Something like "I appreciate what you are saying ... but these are my kids - my rules". If a MIL is to cut your child's hair without FIRST checking with you - I can assure you she would NOT DO IT TWICE in my house. She would get very cool treatment from me. I do agree that it is often a MIL who is not happy about who her son has chosen..... a very stupid woman I say.

My whole family were fans of the "Vera" series. I've seen some of them again recently and found them much more "real" than any of the new cop series. Seems just like what has happened to the ABC. They take away more and more of their funding and they can't afford good writers and actors to play them. My brother-in-law still chortles over " Fawlty Towers", and "Life of Brian" endlessly.

You know Aussies and Americans have very different ways of saying things. Constantly am I confronted with a word I'd have no way of knowing in which context you are using it in......like Plugger. Lol

Next someone will be selling eco friendly leaves you can use and throw outside when you're done :). They clean you and can be used as fertilizer, good for the garden.

One, I have been retired for 26 years and counting. Two, I do not miss working. Three, I cannot answer your question about working. Four, not 'in love' with working - took an early retirement! Last, I NEVER worked 60 hours a week as described in your scenario.

ohhhh so many many noises...except my own loud music haha. Hate people coughing and sneezing these day- not sure why??? Hate hearing my dog swallowing noisily in the night, or noisily licking nethers eww. Hate hate noisy boy racers revving down our street late at night and doing wheelies at the roundabouts. Though i would probably be one of them if i was young and a lad. And there's more...HATE the sounds of those Gunshot firecrackers that people let off..that freak us and our animals out. Hubby hates the sound of his neighbour howling..yes howling. And the guy who power saws bits of wood for hours in the nearby workshop. He turned up on a sunday once to cut wood- until a certain man in tank chair zoomed over and gesticulated at him to F.O.

I admit, I have a smoothie nearly every morning for breakfast. I often have a quiche or peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and meat and vegies for dinner, (about 3 x a week) I recently read the Whole meal Bread with Smooth peanut butter, No sugar/salt, actually helps your weight and digestion when eaten before bed. So that's my new favorite bedtime snack. It seems to help. Ive been dieting for 6 months. I lost 25 kgs but am a bit stuck for loosing the last 20-15 kgs. In the last month, Ive gone back up 1 kg...grrr... AnY tips? Im trying to Eat Less and Move More.

I've done it. And if you truly love people and want to help someone who isn't old enough to speak up for themselves, I recommend you do it as well. I grew up in a home where my parents nearly always had 1-3 foster children sharing our lives. We learned as children that fosters come and go, but we were able to adopt 2 of the boys. They are my brothers through and through. The girls that I fostered were being abused, both 16 years old. One was being beaten regularly by her mother and stabbed once, the other was being raped by her mother's live-in boyfriend. The time with them was only a few months each but it was enough to let them know there are good people in the world and both changed into good people themselves. One has a lovely family and the other is a veterinary technician. Both are happy:) I very highly recommend fostering if you honestly feel your heart wanting to help. You don't get much financially, but you get loads in return emotionally. As much as you know they will most likely be leaving your home at some point, each and every one of them stay in your heart forever. You love with all purity of intentions and build them up and show them good in their world. You will make a positive difference for each child.

I was wondering where you went :) I also like metal, so found this metal cover....Rocio, Sweet Dreams: https://youtu.be/78Mh3hIh0I8?si=hB-BbTB3C1Lh4LTV

Tell them that whilst you were preparing dinner you tested it for taste and now you feel ill! \ud83e\udd74

The problem is you americans are under the delusion that you think your country is the greatest thing on this planet when in fact most of the world generally dislikes your country and what it stands for and finds most of you very irritating and quite honestly I couldnt give a rats arse if your country dissolves into anarchy

My friends jealous because my puppy is better looking than hers .. we are both still besties and always will be ..

I'm 57. Both my parents worked. Neither had CEO wages. I went to pre school as soon as I was old enough. My grandparents didn't babysit because they lived too far away. I'm tired of people whining about lack of money. If you get your priorities right there's no reason why you can't live and save on two incomes. It's been done for decades. Society today spends too much on new cars, TV subscriptions, mobile phones. Inet plans, tatoos and false nails! To name a few! Learn the difference between wants and needs!

Oooops! Grandpa may be getting over the hill there! I've heard of MAP (minor attracted person), but it seemed too filthy for my frame of mind to read any further.

Christmas time to me is all about giving not receiving. If you really want to give a gift donate a child's toys under the Kmart tree for a child in need. Or perhaps donate an amount that you can afford to charity.

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.

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

sorry this one in a lot list of where Rewardia could have added another word to make the title make sense (no offense Blunder)..it should be their job to fix these easy problems..it's happened me too..its not necessary and embarrasing ..nobody home?

Did shift work for 41 years and loved it but the toll was high. Almost permanent fatigue, it\u2019s taken 8 years for my blood pressure to finally come down. I\u2019ve got the balance right now, work 0% life 100%\u2026..lol

Stay away from work so I don't spread it! Anyway I usually have the flu vaccination so it would be unusual for me to get the flu.

A friendly smile on entering or if they are busy when you do ,then an acknowledgement that you are instore at some stage of the game is always welcomed! Can't stand indifferent rude staff.

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!

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.

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. :)

Maybe he was trying to print in colour but it only prints black \ud83e\udd23. How many eggs have you consumed thus far Mary?

\u2026 there were absolutely no red surveys left, at all. What is a person supposed to do now? Perhaps I\u2019ll have a cup of tea, a BEX and a good lay down\u2026.. Now the bloody phone is ringing AND there\u2019s someone at the door. Oh! It\u2019s\u2026\u2026

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..

Of course teen of all ages need curfews. School nights especially. Nothing good ever happens after midnight still applies today.

Scribe ! sorry A , cover thine ears it is new age stuff .. https://youtu.be/OkgMt9BVsvQ (easy beats tho :) )

No problem recently I had to speak at my fathers funeral, it was no problem but because I was crying I could not read my words but managed to remember most

Nothing.. I don’t even own an iron! I used to do ironing as a kid as part of chores but I wash, hang on line, fold and put away, I don’t have creased clothes either so don’t see need to waste my time ironing,, would rather use that time more productively!
