My grandson's football team won their championship this weekend and both his parents were there supporting him. They drive the boys to their soccer, football, basketball and hockey practices and games. They send them out onto the field, the rink or the court, not telling them to win, but just to do their best and have fun. That is how it should be, but for so many parents it is not. My two nephews are grown now, but I used to go to their hockey games as they were...

Unfortunately, there's sports parents who take it way too seriously, so they resort to heckling the officials (who quite often are not even adults), the opposing team, other parents, and things sometimes get physical. Relax, let your kids have fun. The chances of them reaching the professional levels, let alone the top pro levels are so small. And yes, those kids with those awful parents will pick up on that and are more likely to become like that themselves in adulthood.

We know and some of us think electric vehicles are actually good for the environment but what about for the economy, considering the electricity consumption when charging, and where quite substantial tax payers funds are being spent for building charging infrastructure to be installed?
Andrew C 287196
Electric vehicles are no better for the environment than normal petrol / diesel cars. In some ways electric vehicles are actually worse. Massive amounts of money is being wasted on the idea. \ud83d\ude41
Added to the problems are all the gadgets and gizmos (ebikes, escooters, mobile phones, tablets, "smart" this, AI that) which all need constant recharging, plus the enormous amounts of electricity to run the servers, as well as the materials need to make all those batteries.

Do you think what is marketed as Australian Atlantic Salmon is real Salmon or a fake? Real salmon needs to be able to swim up rivers into lakes etc. to spawn, then shortly after hatching they swim down-stream and out into the oceas where they feed on Natural Foods. The Australian version is farmed, they are kept in what amounts to a cage and fed prepared food which guarantees their flesh is Red or Pink.
Neo
I am fascinated by the fact that you never see salmon marketed as "Pacific salmon" You always see "Atlantic salmon" sold but Pacific salmon is better.
In general, wild-caught Pacific salmon is often considered healthier than Atlantic salmon, mainly due to its lower fat content, better fatty acid profile, and lower risk of contaminants.

This is a problem that a lot of people have and I'm glad you brought it up.....use a fine needle to release any pressure in the packaging ...then gently remove the top of the packaging with a sharp scalpel....leaving the base and sides...then apply several layers of spray glue (hairspray can be used) and allow it to fully dry before counting..I find that usually works...(and of course when you have finished counting..you can spray them all over with glue and throw them at the walls...family members..and/or people you don't like..) ..if you usually throw them on the floor and just jump on them...give them a light dusting in flour first or they will stick to you feet....

Perhaps if politicians had to retire at 65 or only serve a limited number of terms, they wouldn't be so wealthy and become corrupted over the years. What if they were paid minimum wage?

You can also put on rainy day wear and go puddle stomping and for walks with the umbrella. Rain doesn't have to be a sentence to the indoors. Walk an indoor mall.

In Armadale we have a shopping centre near us where the whole front pathway of the shops is sloping. It is hairy when trying to negotiate this and feeling like you are going to tip over. One shop in the same suburb is renowned for having boxes and boxes of goods stuck in their aisles. Trying to negotiate this last year, I knocked over a pile of boxes and smashed at least one large ornament and probably more in those boxes. It is so frustrating! Have not been back in there since but have observed from outside the shop that their aisles are slightly better, but far from acceptable yet!. On the other hand my Woolworths in Kelmscott has wide clear aisles free from obstructions. And apart from that, they are always helpful and considerate. Most Woolies shops have the same wide aisles and clear pathways and on behalf of us with wheelchairs, may I say a huge thank you to them. How can we fix the problem - stick all the powers that be in wheelchairs and send them off for a day to shop! Perhaps that might wake them up.
Edit: Wow, I just noticed some of the comments on here and am really gobsmacked! We do not expect perfection, but let me just say that money can be found for many minority groups who are always in the media, we can find money to float a republic, have a debate about putting an first nation voice in parliament, give pay rises to politicians who don't deserve them (some do), and fund hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, political lunches and heaps of other selfish causes. But a ramp into a shopping centre or an even entry - wow, aren't we selfish and entitled???!!! Hope some of you don't get to the stage where you face some of the problems we do!

If you decided to build a library of DVD movies...instead of paying a monthly rental service that is mainly doing this for you...what movies would be in your list?....things that you can easily watch again and again and still be amazed by them?... I have just watched "The Three Amigos" for maybe the tenth time or more, and it still makes me fall about laughing....

World War 1 started in Europe. World War 2 started in Europe. Do you see a pattern (history repeats itself)? Ukraine is not a democracy or Ukraine would already be in NATO and European Union. Ukraine is an authoritarian government. Russia is an authoritarian government. Why is USA and European Union countries pouring billions of dollars in military aid into Ukraine - an authoritarian government? Ukraine is in Europe. Will World War...

Our house is packed of stuff we don't need. I am really thinking about downsizing the house and also stuff we collected over the years. My spare room is full of stuff we bought online for great price, and we never really used it. And that just made me think how many belongings we need for day by day living? How do you keep on the top of your stuff? What are your tips? What stuff should go?

So is my house … stuff from my daughter still here after she got married and moved out over 6 years ago … toys from grandchildren that they have grown out of … and oodles of other stuff that just seems to accumulate over time … I just haven’t got the energy to sort it out and get rid of it ??

I to get frustrated by the number of dud surveys and kicking you out for no apparent reason, but since have been on rewardia have withdrawn $900 dollars cash in the last 18 months and are currently sitting on 504 thousand points at the moment.

We often hear people talk about the work/life balance. We don't all get the perfect scale when it comes to balancing. How do you ensure you maintain a good balance between the two?
Ghostly
Don't make your work your life's priority. Employers don't give a stuff. Do your work diligently and don't take work home. Your own health and wellbeing is more important, and those who you love.

When do you think your age actually changes - is it midnight as you commence the anniversary of your birth, or is it the actual time of your birth on that day? I have often wondered that - but the thing I do know is that birthdays come around quicker and quicker as you age.
Smiley
As someone who was born at 11:20PM, i have always said i only have a 40minute birthday.
That's what my Mum always told me from as young as i can remember, and it's still what i believe today.
My hubby and friends try and convince me the entire day is my birthday, but it is still hard to believe when i was told otherwise my entire life.

The rental crisis in New Zealand & Australia has seen families struggling to find a home, and tenants with a roof over their heads are claiming that they are being treated poorly. Have you been in a situation where your landlord or property manager has failed to meet their obligations to organise repairs within a reasonable time frame, or been in a dispute where you've had to source legal advice?
Bugalugs
If the Federal Government would simply ban all Foreign Investment is Housing and scrap Negative Gearing for All Housing this would, reportedly, open up 10s of 1000s of Houses, Flat etc. for rent. It is also reported that those who own Housing - both Foreign and Australian Residents - deliberately keep their properties un-occupied for Tax Purposes. We hear Politicians, the Unions and others constantly complaining about how Multi-National Corporations pay Little or No Tax on their revenues in Australia - Successive Federal Governments - both ALP and Coalition - have failed to close off the mechanisms these organisations use to avoid paying any Tax. But never a word from any of them about the deliberate, but Legal, rorts, scams, cons - call them what you will, used by Politicians, Union Bosses and others to avoid paying tax on their own Housing Properties which they deliberately keep Un-Tenanted. One Federal ALP MP reportedly has $12 million invested in housing - he conveniently "forgot" to list a $1miilion property in his Asset Disclosure Statement to the Federal Parliament and his mates, both ALP and Coalition, in the very same Parliament did NOTHING.
They won't do anything to put a stop to these scams because they are all up to their necks in this sort of Corruption and are Operating a Protection Racket for themselves.
Faint hope it may, be but maybe the new wave of Independent, so-called Teal - Members of the Federal Parliament - unless they have their snouts in the same trough of Corruption - will force the Albanese ALP Federal Government to actually get off it's self-satisfied, greedy backside and address this issue.

Do you have the income, so you can see a Dentist often for a check-up and a clean to your teeth? Say every six months is the general time frame to get checked. Or are you one of the people that simply can't afford to go to the Dentist and only go when you have a toothache and have to pay off the bill or get assistance from Winz (Work and Income New Zealand, provide income support)? I feel the prices are too expensive and that is why the majority don't go...
Judy CH
My teeth are falling to pieces and since we were scammed out of $53,500 things have been tough making ends meet, I have asked WINZ 3 times for help but they keep saying you have too much in the bank, we only have enough to cover the mortgage, power, rates etc but no help. If I go to the dentist the only place the money can come from is our food money so I am well and truly stuffed. But they can put people who play the system in emergency accommodation and pay $1,000 a week. Plus help them pay rent arrears and repairs for their last house they trashed!!

I believe that if a country's President or Prime Minister wants to invade another country then they themselves should be sent to the front lines to fight. These Leaders need to do their negotiation verbally rather than physically using their people through war.
darsol
you should also ask if they should stop the slaughter of the people in yemen by the saudis,personally i think theres a lot more going on than ehat the media tells you,dont get me wrong,i dont think russia should have invaded but theres always more to the story,the first rulke of war is to get the propaganda machine cranked up.
who here now knows that going into Iraq on the false stories of WMD was wrong,killing thousands of Afghanis was wrong,bombing weddings and the like,Look at how libya is now after the wests regime change,what makes you think the west is right about things this time,whats different to make you believe they are telling the truth this time?

Do you find as you get older you lose more friendships? If so why does this seem to happen? I recently turn 30, I used to have lots of friends in my 20s but now as i grow older i have less. I may not have as many now but the ones that I do have are basically like my family. Maybe we lose friends over years as there not really true friends to begin with? Would love to hear if this happen to other and some secrets in keeping friendships
Mr T
I had more friends in my 20s Noe I have a handful and they are truly close and trusted
The numbers are no longer important it's the quality

What is it with parents these days? Odd baby names, whether names spelt wrong or using accepted surnames as first names. Some babies are even stuck with names of fruit or items in nature. Through the past years, children who have grown up with unusual first names have always developed psychological problems and have no direction in life. With all the acceptable baby names around, why make up new ones? What do others think?
APB
It only used to be rich idiots who did this...remember Yowie?...Yowie Bowie?...David hopes you don't....and the lovely Moon Unit...Frank Zappa's offspring?...they just changed their names as soon as they could...so can everyone else I guess...

Why does the government of the day keep saying there is no inflation while the price of food is continuing to rise?
Lachelle B
Have you noticed the decrease in weight and increase in price? Some frozen chips are 900g instead of 1kg. Biscuits have risen but the amount or size has dropped. Grow your own veges and you'll be surprised how much $$$ you save.

Easter buns of course as popular and often hit the shelves after Christmas. Should buns, without the cross, be available to purchase all year round?
WIDJEM
What a crazy idea, next people will want chocolate to be sold all year round... ohh wait.... Plus think of all the money shops would lose out on. After all cant charge a ridiculous amount because its 'only available for a short time" PS super markets and bakerys out there, feel free to leave the cross of my bun and save me a few bucks a packet

have a friend who was visiting a cemetery and said she saw a tombstone that read: "beneath this sod lies another"

Do vets charge to much? Is pet insurance worth it? Or are willing to pay whatever costs for a loved pet ...
Russel B
How about a Vet joke? If you lock your dog and your partner in the boot of your car and leave it locked for for10 minutes. Guess who is pleased to see you when you let them out?
Apologies everyone it's just my warped sense of humour.

Do you listen to songs in other languages? These being languages that you do not speak or understand well (need a translation for). I personally, enjoy listening to songs sung in Aramaic, Russian and Serbian Slavic. Unlike some of my constituents, I do find the interpretation or translation of the song in a language I do understand.
Daffodil
i have heard some beautiful Latino songs, I don't understand the words but the way the music flows is just awesome, and having visited Japan some of the songs I heard are pretty cool too. You really don't have to know the words to appreciate the music/songs..

Do you think that the title mum or dad is something that needs to be earned? Just because you have a kid that is biologically yours doesn't mean you deserve to be called a mum or a dad?! I believe that those titles need to be earned. And you are only a mum or a dad if you step up and are actually involved in your childs life all the time. Not just when it is convenient to you or when you can be bothered to be a parent!
APB
And by the way Michelle K...are you either a licensed or disqualified parent?..it doesn't sound like it..does it?...if you haven't gone through the process.. at least once... you are just a totally useless rookie with no idea of what this massive commitment entails...come back when you have grown up...

Should children be permitted to be executors to their parents will? The nominated ones often help themselves to a 'bit extra' as executors fees, which may be legal but not necessarily fair.
CILLY0
It is so hard sometimes as you bring your children up to be fair and honourable and it is so hard to see what the $$$ signs can do to some of them at times. Trust certainly goes out the window with those that are done wrong.

You can get cosmetic eyeliner, eyebrows and lipstick. Customers say the effect is very natural. Has anyone on here had it done? What was your personal experience?
Lachelle B
Don't see how the effect is natural when it's not natural??? And I always find it amusing when people put on makeup to get a natural look! I don't understand why people put makeup on everyday. Wouldn't you want to do it on a special occasion so you look "Wow" and not your usual daily routine?

When boys are in an environment with other boys only. They take on a "pack mentality" and don t know how to relate to girls and women. I think co-ed schools are the smarter option. They help raise boys to become decent men.
Bugalugs
No apologies, Johana C but I thinkyour ideas are nonsense. I went to an all boys school and if anything, thanks to the plethora of paedophile teachers - including female ones, who were the biggest bullies of all - we came out as misandrists. Yes, in some ways Co-ed schools are better but let us not forget that girls can be every bit as cruel, nasty, vindictive - especially towards other girls - Their bullying techniques have, somehow, been developed into an art which is passed down from one year to the next and they take that through to their adult lives.
Both demales and males will develop into decent Women and Men if they have the example set for them by their parents. Sadly today Parents would rather rake in buckets loads of money - half of which they waste on After School Care for THEIR children - than actually rearing THEIR children themselves. So children come out of school knowing nothing more than how to bully and are set to be misogynists and misandrists their entire lives.

How to make new friend and how to meet new people to become friend with them. My sister makes fun of me that i don't have a friend on the phone its not easy to make friends like her. I want to meet new peoples don't know where. Are going to be good friend or end up being bad friend in the end doing bad things to me. Sometimes i feel loss in this world as i see my sister has a lot of friends to gossip each day with and i sit at homes with a glass of wine. Is ok not to...
Sandy
You have one or two friends from school. Then you meet lots of people at tafe, Uni, work etc.
I think the best friend you can have is a cat or dog because they’re more loyal than humans!

What do you think of Daylight-saving? Some countries have it, and some don't. Some states, territories, in Australia have it. Some people seem to either love it, or hate it! I think its a bit too long, at least in Australia. I would shorten it by a month, as it gets to dam hot in some parts of country. How does it affect you, if at all? Do you become more happier, or .....moodier?

Not applicable in WA; our Premier thinks the sun shines from his bum and he won't get up an hour earlier for anyone!! :-)

People think violent movies and video games cause real life violence. But I have to disagree. The majority of people who watch a violent film, don't go out and hurt or kill people. They watch the film, turn it off and then get on with their lives.
APB
I don't know why anyone wants to watch them in the first place...even that is very disturbing..you can make terrifying films without anyone getting killed, it just takes someone with some true skill and ability.

I don't understand why people still have home phones in 2020? I gave up mine decades ago. Dealing with my cell phone is enough. Without having to deal with a home phone too. It makes no sense
Philip D
Couldn't give up my home phone. How would Michelle from the NBN be able to contact me on a regular basis to advise that my land line will be cut off in 24 hours. Poor kid would be out of a job.

It sounds mean but I steer clear of partners that snore. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone gasping for breath. I understand it's not their fault. They can find another partner to put up with it. Have you ever slept with a snorer?
Phyrephly
I've slept with the same snorer my parents sleep with: Charlie (Heinz59er, dog), is the loudest sleeper; he snores, farts, barks, yips, grunts, growls, yelps, and even sleepwalks! My parents thought he was possessed the first night he was in the house. But he does like the ladies, and enjoys his nightly cuddles. certainly didn't get much of those in the house he was rescued from (RSPCA save). Making up for it now tho'.

Remote work is here to stay for most people. At least until they find a vaccine for the Coronavirus. Everyone is trying to find a way to make money online. And so many people are turning to eCommerce. Will you be trying new online ventures to bring in cash?
Katzeye
If you can dream it then you can do it!..I make Jewellery as a wee side line hobby/business, which I sold though a local shop until covid hit!!!! so my goal for next year is to get my business up and running online.

Freelancers have known the beauty of remote work for many years and now because of the pandemic, the rest of the workforce is catching on to how wonderful working remotely can be. Will you opt to work remotely if the world ever returns to normal?
Shaun M 366334
I would love to work remotely wouldn't have to deal with nasty evil managers who have no idea about real work and how to deal with people with respect and dignity

I used to love watching the Academy Awards and see people realising their dreams and winning awards for their creative work. But the Oscars isn t what it once was. Actors have become political puppets. No one cares what they think about politics. They should stick to what they do best -- acting!
lippy loo
The glamour has gone and now mostly just trashy outfits and who can show more leg or boobs. No class in a lot of their speeches either. It sometimes feels like the ones that win should not even have been nominated and the better actors have been overlooked due to the money put behind the movie or the actors themselves. It all seems a bit rigged to me these days and I no longer watch it.

The most valuable lessons I've learnt were after I left school and university. Lessons about money. Lessons about entrepreneurship. Lessons about success and savings and investment. All these useless things they teach in the classroom that nobody ever uses. Education departments throughout the world need to step up
NZNaturalKiwi
My school did teach us about saving, budgeting, investment options, saving for retirement and about having a rainy day fund and an "oh crap" (emergency) fund. My parents taught us about shopping on a budget, cooking on a budget, layby's and HP's etc

Hi all, I understand this political question might be really sensitive to some people,but I just like to get an opinion of how everyone feel about this US midterm election result. For me, as a Canadian, I am really satisified with the result and very soon 'Lake America' will be back to 'Lake Ontario'. Canadian need not to fight with Trump as God see everything and in due time, God will right everything. One thing I really hope Trump get to enjoy before he...
Woodster
It is the result I expected and Trump needed to be taken down a peg or two, even he admits his war on Iran has been his party's downfall.

I have set myself a challenge to eat a clean, nutritious and healthy brunch on Sundays. I am looking forward to reaping the benefits by eating a healthy diet, giving my body the fuel, vitamins and minerals it needs to work well. Ingredients: 3-4 eggs 1/2 bell pepper 6-8 mushrooms (sliced) 1 piece of ham 1/2 celery stalk 1 tsp crushed garlic Salt and pepper to taste 2 slices wholemeal bread (or bread of your choice) 1/2 Avocado Dash of oil Method: 1)...
gordy
Just brunch on Sundays. We should be eating like this all the time. Thanks for sharing your recipe, so delicious. I watched a programme on the harm of processed foods. The star system is done by the producers of the garbage we eat and a lot of the products with 4-5 stars in Australia actually have harm notices on these products in other countries. Eat fresh and clean. I know it is time consuming but it is also so satisfying when you prepare something fresh from scratch. Come on people are we that deprived in our time to not eat healthy.

Why do people think that their house is haunted? 1/ Attention seekers 2/ Delusional 3/ Religious nuts 4/ Mentally ill 5/ They do not want to take responsibility for their own actions What do you think or do you believe that there are some genuine hauntings? Bwahahahahahaha
APB
My own experience falls into three groups...thinking more about it...group 1 is the "somebody up there likes me" experiences...I've had two of those...they are uplifting, life reaffirming and make you just wonder what is actually going on.....I would have probably been dead without them...twice....group 2 are confused lost or scrambled entities...you can maybe fix these or live with them (two of those)....and Group three probably aren't human at all..things like Plappergeist...I only had one of them...something totally mad and destructive...but after two months it won and I moved out...I wasn't going to let it win...The rent was REALLY cheap...but I needed to sleep somewhere else instead of on the stairs outside my appartment..so it did win in the end...Funny..I can imagine it waving goodbye from the window....also...some folk seem to be more in tune with seeing ghosts or whatever...young female virgins (that counts me out!)...and people of certain star signs..like Pisces and Aquarius...who are at the beginning and end of the cycle....I think that's right?..I just bought a plappergeist on Tenu (they have everything)...they are sending it to Neo...hope she has fun...I used to enjoy the roaring and screaming..the light shows...furniture being dragged about the floor....lights that weren't there coming on or turning off..doors opening and slamming..ahh happy days!....the neighbours downstairs heard all this too...

This is from Dalí s 1973 cookbook Les Dîners de Gala. Ingredients 1 dozen eggs 1 ½ quarts of water 5 whole cloves (or a pinch of ground cloves) 3 tablespoons of sugar 3 tablespoons of vinegar 2 lemons (cut into wedges) ¾ teaspoon of dried thyme 2 black tea bags 2 onions (chopped) 2 cloves of garlic (chopped) Tabasco sauce (to taste, "a lot" is recommended) [3, 5, 6] Instructions 1. Boil the eggs:...

I believe you can boil eggs (in shells) and freeze them for later use, e.g. slice and "fry". Do you freeze them with shell on or do you shell it before freezing in an airtight container or special freezer bag

Rewarded need to be given a good blasting for their insulting and inflammatory points if a person is screened out. It's the market Research company the next time they send a survey and we are screened out my advice to rewardia and the market research company is have a teddy bears picnic outside the High court in Canberra
Nel
Well said Alex H. I think Rewardis hss nothing to do with it. Because Rewardia also depends on these research companies for survival by organising this platform. Mostly, it's survey companies who should be serious about how they treat survey takers! They don't have to wait until completion of a survey to disqualify someone. It can be done within the first few minutes of starting it. If they don't follow such rules it's like just taking things easy with the survey takers! This shows the low-quality attitude of such companies!! I have already identified and avoided them as bad contributors for our existence. There are many who are pretty serious about what they are doing and they have a high respect for our knowledge. I really love some of them! Good Luck Alex Happy surveying!\ud83d\ude0d

Here are some wrong answers when answering surveys.... What is the main issue for State or national Government? Climate change.....wrong answer Which is your main supermarket? IGA...wrong answer What Brand of car are you going to buy next? Renault...wrong answer Do you want more insurance? No...wrong answer I hope this helps....
Liane H
No I'm not interested in any of these sports / subscriptions / insurance policies . Can you tell us the last time you interacted with these brands do you trust them to do the right thing in a crisis? ... ,who sponsors these next 30 different sports teams? ,,, no idea ,no idea, no idea .. can't remember ..
Still going strong ,but don't slip up on the test question ..
You WILL be interested in buying a brand new vehicle within 6 mnths. All electric yes ,yes ,yes!

Start Your Day with Intention Starting your day in a good way begins with setting a positive tone from the moment you wake up. Try avoiding your phone for the first few minutes and instead take a deep breath, stretch, or think of one thing you re grateful for. A healthy breakfast and a clear plan for the day can help you feel focused and motivated. When you begin your morning with intention and calm energy, the rest of your day naturally feels more productive and...
John Smith Very-Old
Look Jose, a deep breath sounds nice and all, but my morning routine is more like yelling at the TV because the referee was clearly blind. If I don\u2019t start the day with a Scotch and an argument over a football highlight from 1984, am I even properly awake?
25-Feb-26
This may seem like a lot of ingredients, but you will find that you already have most of them in your pantry. 250 g rice noodles. 100 gram chicken breast. 1 onion chopped. 1 carrot sliced. Bell pepper strips, 3 colours if possible. Garlic and ginger to own likes. Tablespoon soy sauce. Tablespoon fish sauce. Sweet chili sauce to own taste. 2 tablespoon brown sugar. 2 tablespoon crushed peanuts. Salt to own taste. Red chili flakes to own desire....
Von
I could make this...except for the ginger...I was given some yellow and red capsicums by one of 'the boys'...and I have all the other ingredients.
Sounds good Ron...
