As a lactose free person, I believe I am being overcharged for my coffee/latte as now I am being asked for an additional amount ranging from 50 cents to $1 to cover the soy or almond milk. However the cost of soy or almond milk at the supermarket is only 10 cents a litre more than normal or skim milk. My lactose free coffee/latte only requires a small amount of soy/ almond milk. So why should it be acceptable in our coffee loving society today to rip off those who are unable...

The two biggest money makers in a cafe are coffee and the soup of the day...no-one seems to care that they both cost very little make...you wanting to use several different milks would make the Barrista's job much more difficult..in a really busy cafe it would be a nightmare....I would hate to be doing that job now....it was a breeze when I did it....I enjoyed it..nobody needed all this crap in 1980...(why is that?)
what happened to humans in the meantime to need all this extra stuff?...and who is supposed to pay for the extra work..stock and storage?...its not just the purchase price my friend...you are missing the point..it makes everything a lot more difficult...

What has gone wrong with the young males of today. Another school embroiled in young men taking the faces/head photos of social media and doing an AI attachment of a nude body to them and posting so many on line. Where has their common decency gone. Lack of respect towards girls and women has become endemic in recent years. WHY......? Are parents, schools, older generations not teaching them? Are they just brats who think they are cute or funny? Have men...

We have been able to do this with photos (without AI) for over 30 years...anybody who is skilled can do this in Photoshop...so what has changed recently?....little girls now spend hours photographing themselves.. pouting and vamping it up...with their new phones and post them all over the internet...and little boys have easy access to to these..and pornography....and also now have software that makes attaching heads to bodies so easy that every moron can do this to a reasonable level....what's changed?...technology...that's all...if you don't want your head attached to a naked body stop posting it everywhere... in multiple views. different lighting and angles.. online....easy to use.....you know it can happen...just wake up and pay attention....if they made the software illegal it would stop immediately...

So I have 34 pending surveys and the HIGHEST point survey rates is one of 275 points. Yes 27 cents. Ummmm. The difficulty in such a survey completion is to know where to safely invest such a large sum. But I notice the top one (A 275 points Orange Survey) shows it is just a total survey of 1 minute long survey to complete it as noted by Rewardia. UmmmI thought. I will do it but then it as usual the survey asks me endless questions...

Wow ,nothing so scary as that . The sleeping Arabs at Tehran airport with their turbans were a bit of a shock as an 11yr old from down under I would say ,, apart from that I was suprised in Fiji at having to say Bula ( hello) to everyone basically from the airport security ,cleaners ,police in their long skirts ... everyone! At first I was getting exhausted from it a bit . And they will eyeball you coming your way too so you don't miss the opportunity. Kids waving out of the buses with no windows iin them while you're driving next to them "Bula !" ,, When I got back here I missed it, I walked past someone in my own street ,they just looked down kept walking by .. usual city behaviours ..

No! Too much government control there. I don't trust any government, no matter where they are on the political spectrum, not to abuse power if they control everything. Throw a switch, and you can't buy groceries. Your BMI is too high so you cost the government too much in health care. No birthday cake for you! When another government hacks in, you are stuck. And let's not forget the Greek government a few years (5?) back. 10% off the top of people's accounts to help with the bail-out. No thanks, I'll want cash to pay for things when the network is down.

If you take a look back in history, carrying a few extra pounds was a sign of wealth because rich people were the only ones that could afford fattening food. Fast forward to 2020 and junk food is cheaper than healthy food and poor people are fatter than rich people. One would assume if we were to raise the price of junk food exponentially. Our health would improve. Thoughts?

Bolo do caco is a traditional flatbread from the Portuguese island of Madeira. Named after the hot, flat basalt stone ("caco") on which it is conventionally cooked, the bread is unique because it contains mashed sweet potato, giving it a slightly sweet flavor and an incredibly soft, chewy texture ,You do not need a basalt stone to make this at home; a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan works perfectly.\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\ud83d\ude0a

My treatment is 2 different types of Chemotherapy plus a trial drug and both of these chemotherapy types causes hair loss It is only a week since my FIRST treatment and I have already had several different side effects and am wondering what other side effects to expect as my treatment continues Also any tips on how to ease side...
Grommie
share your experiences with the nurses . they have lots of good down to earth tips. Run a day by day diary and give it to the oncologist at each regular consultation, you will get many and varied side effects. Some of these could influence a variation in the chemo. Don't try to eat big meals once your taste goes away. It does no harm to have a google look at what is out there.
I should have said I've been there. Lung and bowel cancer, and 6 months of chemo.

Now with all the devices we have, long distance friendships are super easy to achieve and maintain, but not too much just a few years ago. You know, people used to write letters in a paper with a pen or a pencil, and send those to the nearest postal office, those were called letters. Do you ever had a long distant friendship when the phones, internet and pc didn't exist? It last long? How old were you? Do you still writing letter?
Bluey
I had a Japanese pen pal about 50 years ago but after an earthquake never heard from her again. I currently write to a friend in America who hasn't got a computer but haven't heard from him for some time so will be writing to him very soon. Hope he is still around. There has occasionally been a gap in our letter-writing so I'm not too worried about it.

I was married twice, and my second ex is still a very dear friend of mine. I don t love him as a partner obviously, this was the reason we split up, but I still appreciate him a lot as a friend. Note we live in 2 different continents and our only contact is FaceTime every 3 weeks. He is very well-read, and I enjoy discussing topics like arts, movies, and politics with him. Our conversations are very enriching on both sides. What about you guys?

Were we friends during our marriage to each other - NO! We are friends - NOW, but we are NOT married to each other - it took decades to get too this point - as we both accepted responsibility for the demise of our marriage!

Qualification question today .. have you travelled by car to Mars in the past week ? Umm no,, Great! You have qualified for the survey .
Now baking and listening to some music whether it's a streaming service such as YouTube or the common radio ( transistor) can be quite therapeutic I find, however the survey probably went on to interview the lucky applicants who were successful on a completely unrelated topic such as bladder leakage !! How many dribbles ? A few drops or more? How often .. oh that's all the questions we have for you today !

My husband & I have always made it important to buy each other a card on special occasions. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Day etc. We are now retired, cards are expensive & money is tight. We have kept all our cards over the years & now have them in a container so that on each special occasion we find time to go through our passed cards & recycle one to each give the other. There are many beautiful, meaningful cards & it is so nice to read them...

Australia is a continent which is part of the region of Oceania. It is the only country in Oceania that has the land mass to be a continent.

I spent the day at the VA hospital (Veterans Health Administration) in Boston yesterday with a friend who was having surgery and couldn t believe how clean it was and how kind and friendly everyone was. I was very impressed with their patient board which kept track of the stages he was in our veterans should always be treated with dignity.
Bugalugs
The VA Hospital isn't in Australia it is Boston USA.
Successive Federal, State and Territory Governments in Australia have been deliberately starving Australia's entire Health System of fundes for decades. It doesn't matter if they are from the Right or Left of politics. The Federal Government only wants to sqwuander untold hundreds of billions on Armaments and other Military equipment to "Protect Australia from foreign invasion" - they never actually tells us whom it is who is threatening Australia. The totally absurd thing about all this squandering of all that money, yes I know it is minuscule compared to the US and China, is that all of this equipment will be completely obsolete before any of it actually becomes operational! These absurd governments - since when does a country with just 26 million people need ONe Federal, 6 State & 2 Territory Governments?
All are now hell-bent on squandering even more billions on Space Exploration! As if they haven't, along with all the rest of the World's Politicians, made a big enough mess of our World without doing the same to others.
Spend all that money on Housing, Health and Education and stop warmongering. It is our Politicians and Religious Leaders who have been, and still are, responsible for All the Wars which have ever been waged.
Decent, Honest, Ordinary people want no part of those wars, yet they are the ones who are sent out to fight and die for the wars the politcians have deliberately, and are at present trying to create.

Tom S Qld
At a younger age, while I was still finding my feet - a glass bender. Yep, that was the job title.
Worked nights in front of a very large and very hot rotating furnace kiln. We had long poles and we reached into the flames and placed flat sheets of glass onto the molded seats, they went around inside the kiln and then rotated back into view, perfectly melted, molded and shaped. We then took them out and placed them to cool off.
It was quite complicated as there were 25 sheets of glass inside at any time. The molding seats came out with the glass and new seats had to be placed in and then new glass sheets had to be put onto them.5-man crew all working in harmony. If one man missed his task, then it would all stop.
On a good night we would shape 2000 glass molded ceiling lights.

I recently started doing surveys on Rewardia again after stopping for at least 6 months in protest of their pathetic rewards for doing surveys. I have since discovered that you can be wise in choosing the surveys so you are compensated more fairly. I would only do surveys of certain colours because they are worth 1000 points each and it tells you the survey duration so if it says 30 minutes, I just ditched it - $1 for 30 minutes of work is not worth it. But if it says...

It's the New year and the Misandry Campaign is, once again, off and running.
We hear, endlessly, about how Horrible, how Distrustful, how Devious, how Abusive, how Misogynistic men are. They are no longer allowed to express an opinion, they must never, ever dare to say they don't like some female, their clothes, their botoxed faces, artificially pumped up lips - the list of what men must not do and how cruel, unfeeling and hurtful they are is endless and on-going
BUT we never, ever hear, or rather are never allowed to hear that Females can be every bit as bastardly as any male BUT challenge them and they will claim they are "Exercising THEIR Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression"!
No apologies but Christina C's statement is typical misandrist nonsense, men are no more, nor less, likely to have ulterior motives than any woman.

His constant, unstoppable emotional battle with real or imagined dramas sucked my life-blood out of me. Tried to help him, felt sorry for him...too long. There was nothing I d do than completely stop the relationship with a heroic effort. Have you experienced something similar and if you did...

Yes and I cut them out of my life completely. We seem to be conditioned to cop this rubbish and look the other way etc. Not on. Some people are drama driven, others are using these tactics to keep you under their thumb with you thinking you can or should help them for some stupid reason.

I wonder just how many people here on this forum are aware that since October 2021 that the Australian government can hack, quite legally, your social media accounts and alter and delete them for any reason whatsoever? It's called the Identify and Disrupt Bill which was passed at 2am on a Wednesday late in that month. Go and look it up on the Australian government website if you don't believe me. I was told this by my son who happened to be working with some Barristers who were visited by a man called Arthur, whom our previous female Premier in NSW had been in a relationship with at that time, just so people don't think I'm writing this with the view to commit some kind of fraud! I cannot watch MSM any longer because my research outside of this alleged "media sources" has led me to scientific research and resulting evidence leaving no room for me to conclude anything other than the following: that what is "news" content, at least as it relates to the"magic potion" killing and maiming people across the planet, is simply propaganda and theatre. I did not draw this conclusion without facts empirically derived from Researchers, Doctors and Scientists of many varied disciplines and I KNOW that my own government has lied and continues to lie about their own involvement in this charade. This is backed up in previously confidential documents detailing the Australian Military's involvement from decades ago of weaponising biological organisms through gain of function research and funding the same. I can say with clarity that freedom has never been SO under threat as it is now, not only because the government can come in and change your own words and remove them as they see fit, but because of the terms "misinformation" and"disinformation", but WHO decides this? I can see Big Tech's involvement but who among you are aware of the infiltration of WEF members, of whom Big Tech plays a leading role, in terminology used to discredit certain viewpoints. Just as the CIA coined the term "conspiracy theorist" to describe someone who thinks outside of the mainstream narrative and make them out to be "kooks", so too have Google, You Tube Twitter etc, who are all partners in this globalist agenda for a NWO where there will be no choices, no ownership of anything including your shoes, and certainly no privacy or freedom! If we lose the right to voice our own opinions today they will be gone tomorrow and NEVER return! If we don't want to live in a smart grid with cameras recording our every movement as it already is in China and adopt their credit score system, we all need to think about what it will be like for our children and THEIR children if we don't now say that enough is enough! Thanks for reading this.

I've noticed an increasing number of surveys (not just here) now want you to either download an app so they can track your online usage eg shopping etc or tv/ online video habits or want you to use a webcam. These are usually offering higher levels of rewards. I refuse to do any of these, as I find them way too intrusive, but was wondering how others feel about such activities. Are you ok with that sort of tracking or do you find it not acceptable?
Julie K 348980

What are your thoughts about "value" we can find anywhere these days? You would think that paying more equals getting better, safer and healthier products of higher quality, but is it always the case?
Bugalugs
No of course a Higher Price does not mean better value. Take a trip into one of those very up-market Department Stores and those dinky little Boutiques offering, supposedly Designer Gear, Exclusive Brands by Haute Couture Houses of Fashion. Grossly over Priced garments but ALL Made in China, India, Bangladesh and other slave-to super-low Income countries. We went in to one of those Department Stores, up the escalator and into the Women's Fashion Floor. There at the top of the escalator was a display of a well-know designer. Faded Jeans with selectively placed "Tears", Price? A not-so-cool $695.00! The top? It looked liked a woman's vest-cum-Tee shirt with a tiny single row of "lace" around the neckline. The price? An equally not-so-cool $435.00!
My female companion unbuttoned the top couple of buttons on her blouse to reveal an identical top with exactly the same single row of "lace". Price at the Local Market? $15.00. Our local Op Shop sells faded Levi Jeans with naturally worn, strategically sited holes - just like the Designer jeans at $695 for just $10! - I know this because they were my jeans! The only reason I was not still wearing them was because I don't think it is appropriate for Mature Age Men and Women to dress as if they were in their late teens! Brand, Price and Designer Labels mean Nothing.

I get around 50 emails every day about sales and deals. It is very hard to resist so i buy stuff i don't even need. Are you impulsive buyer too? How often do you shop online?

Same here so I have had to unsubscribe from a lot of businesses now because it has become too annoying,I mean I don't need 3-4 emails from the same company reminding me there is a big sale on in the one day,I am not stupid lol...But yes I do shop a lot online because it is more convenient although I will only shop with trusted companies now after being ripped off one too many times.
