I actually won bingo last night but I still have not got the "Chance Seeker-Bingo" badge and I have been playing it lots lately (and even more yesterday because of the "bonus") but I really want my badge!\ud83e\udd23

Tonight in NZ it is a cold wet winter's night, and I will be having a smoked salmon, spinach and lentil frittata with steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Aren't we all lucky that we can have good healthy food choices in this cold weather!

Ugh, I never had to do that, at least not yet. I get the usual ones like choose all the motorcycles or cars. I also am getting more of the ones where you have to write two or three sentences about your ideal vacation or three traits of your ideal celebrity, etc. before you start the survey,

Thanks for sharing your recipe, I am a vegetarian so unfortunately it's not for me, but I am sure there are many other people who will enjoy it.

What an easy meal, and sounds so good! My problem is, when I used to make Pigs-in-a-Blanket (Crescent rolls, hot dogs, cheese inside the hot dog), I ate 4 and my husband ate 4. I would probably try to eat all 6 (or 8) hot dogs myself in one meal! \ud83d\ude0b\ud83d\ude02

There is a fast track training course for drone pilots in Ukraine....once you qualify you can have a well -paid career in Europe...for ever..this is the future

I would start looking at a move. Not to the city but somewhere that has more access to shops and facilities. We all get older and need easier lifestyles. Closer to a city would be a bonus.

WHAT are chicken RIBS? All I know are 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 wings? There's what's left over, the boney ribcage? Not usually cooked because of lack of anything on it! I'm confused? ;-{

I made this last Sunday night for dinner. But I washed, then pricked the potatoes put them in the microwave for 5 minutes, then wrapped in foil for the oven, to cut down the cooking time. Delicious.

Wouldn't mind owning a Smart House - as long as it is smart enough to pay the rising cost of renting and the rising cost of utilities :-))!

I usually eat my cauliflower raw...and I too like cauliflower...so, even though I'm a terrible cook, I might ( might being the operative word) try this...with a bottle of wine.

Hi Jann R :-))! It was Love (are should I say Lust) at first sight between me and Baked Lemon Tart! I will immediately take a screenshot of this recipe!

Apparently the Chinese have bred a chicken with 4 legs so you get extra drumsticks. They think they will be tasty but no one knows for sure as they can't catch one...

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... and more expensive

i watched a guy wrap up a nasty cut with duct tape, not sure what the hospital thought but it did stop the bleeding... I have used it for flies and bugs and have several pieces hanging around the shed, also used it to remove splinters, pet hair, and lint from clothes and have often used it as a belt to keep my pants up is also a great insulator,

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.

The older I get , I find after bending down to get something it's impossible to do silently .. and no NOT what you are thinking! It's because your diaphragm muscles become weaker and your stomach gets pushed up closer to it so oldies often make a grunt when they do such activities !

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! Fortunately - for both of us, when we were married to each other - we did not have a child!

They are being paid to do a job, so why should the brides parents pay for food and drinks for them!!!

I have always recycled cards into gift tags, and yes you are correct - they are too expensive today and make the process of just sending someone a card, an awful one (when did cards get to be 10 dollars or more?!?! and that's without postage, lol).

I don\u2019t set a time limit Just enjoy doing things and they will be finished when they\u2019re done Relax

Thankfully, the ads offering sex from ladies around the globe have finally stopped. It got too much for me as I'm a hetero female!

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. There are only 7 continent in the world and Australia is one of them, although other country seem to call it the continent of Australia/Oceania, must be some new age thing.

There are professionals who train for between 2 and 3 years whose sole purpose on graduation is to design things like surveys polls and forms that need to be filled out....nobody bloody uses them because it costs money...so all the forms polls and surveys are rubbish...the results are rubbish...and we end up with lots of other rubbish that no-one needs.... we are surrounded by idiots who want to save money...buildings and stadiums that collapse...that packet you cannot open..the tin opener that doesn't open anything..plastic door handles on cars...there is no reason for any of this...just employ people who understand what is needed and what is safe reasonable and intelligent....

I had shingles when I was about 10/11. If my memory serves me correctly, it\u2019s related to the Measles Mob.

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.

One of my neighbours is not very friendly they turn there back when they see me lol I don't even know them some people are very strange

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.

Not that I remember Walter, nothing awful or scary, for which I am grateful and I treated our young kids the same way = no not perfect but no mind games or scary lies. :)

Fully agree with you - the thing that really bugs me is that sometimes you do a survey, complete all the the questions so that they have all your information then the site kicks you out and the survey says "closed by user" zero points awarded

I moved to Melbourne from Sydney 40 years ago. I thought I was going to die. No friends, cold, wet. Anyway I am still here. I have kids now and grandkids. You need to keep social. Oh and I got rid of the husband! That greatly improved my life, regardless of where I live!

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.

NOPE< never ate as so called FAST FOOD as it was proved to sell rubbish, LOOK at al the change in health and size of people before fast food and after, tells you all you need to know, when u put rubbish in you body, you end up as rubbish. U R WHAT U EAT

Yesterday's 30 point bonus for playing Drop and Merge was a rip off. I'm 71 and need a hip replacement, but even I don't have over three hours to spend trying to get an extra 30 points. At one stage I gained 1168 points ( not that far off the leader board and it gave me 2 points! This is just plain ridiculous and I have written and told them so - especially as I stuck it out until I had 31 points and they didn't credit me with the bonus today! First time I've commented on here but that is just plain ridiculous. Like recently when they offered 300 points if you gained 1000 points on Blue surveys in a 36m hour period and there were NONE.

At my old home address I got fed up with huge amounts of weeds growing in the raised garden beds so I decided to cover them with weed mats, however under the weed mats I placed flattened cardboard boxes and a year later the weeds began growing back; so YES things do grow on them. However when I looked there was no cardboard boxes thee meaning they had ALL broken down and turned to soil

we had an outdoor spa and had to do the same thing, the cost was getting ridiculous, so we pulled it out and filled it in.

Audra Mae and the forest rangers; forever young ' let it be me Ray La Montagne things we handed down Marc Cohn all great Sunday songs all regulars on my playlist in fact not sure if you have a spotify account but if you do look up pops top 100 covers there is hours of great tunes there it will keep your sunday laze easily

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. Life is too short to have to deal with these types of roller coaster relationships. Being on tender hooks waiting for the boom gates to drop and you have to appease them in some way. Cut and run...

No Thanks.Nothing could get me on a cruise ships as they are breeding grounds for germs and viruses and potetial death traps(Costa Concordia).Also you cannot choose your fellow travelllers and you are stuck with them fot the hole time.Not for me.

Why do most of the advertised lengths of surveys not reflect any accuracy. I have seen a 3 minute survey being 35 minutes when opened. Or some that say 160 minutes but end up being 15 minutes.

God, no!!!! Another BS scheme by the Governments, the Greenies etc. Whilst good in theory, it just doesn't work, the outlay is too much, damage not covered, lifetime is short. I have enough problems!!!

Not me, I learnt to go remove the idiot box, radio and limit internet, go to bed early, sleep like a log. and never have a problem waking up and being grumpy.

Hi Mary. I would like to confirm that these results above 1000s lines are real. It is not an in-game time cheating or sort of Some members are really love this game and play for two, three or even four hours. They are keeping this game in the separate tab in browser, so can take a pause, drink coffee etc. after that get back to the game

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 too have noticed how many organisations are now asking me to turn on my webcam. I do not allow it especially as I was told by an IT specialist that even if you do not have it switched on you can still be seen by others. That scared the bejesus out of me.

Neither. My love was the best and we loved each other having 52 years of happy marriage before she died 13 years ago

Definately take a stand and demand more rights. My place of work has warned that if we unionize, we will be fired.

does anyone think I can make 60,000 points in one month??!!! lets see shall we.. Your monthly earnings:AugustSeptemberOctoberNovember24,821 points34,498 points44,648 points57,389 points

I am alone and have depression and anxiety and no family. I do what I want when I want, but that doesn't fit into society. I might go to bed at 10 p.m. or 5 a.m. and sleep most of the day. I try to get my meds on time and eat once in a while. I hate routines. They were not made for me, but my counselors have been fighting me for years to get into a routine. If I'm happy, the world will have to adjust to MY schedule!

When I was a kid we learnt to cook, clean, sew, mend, and everything else by our parents. I guess if both parents are working they have some kind of excuse for not teaching their children, but that is just an excuse. I know society has more academically minded dropouts now than we ever did. Is it because they can't, or don't want to, find work?

my old man's dog named "peka", and the horse named "paka " Those two were inseparable. when the old man passed away, I got to look after them, and they look after me. Paka fell into the hole and died of his injuries, I was heartbroken, and Peka did not want to leave the place where I burry Paka.she was so sad For two weeks, she stayed there.sadly she died of heartbroken. i burried her on the same spot, and planted acoconut tree on it, that coconut tree is still standing, 50years old coconut tree

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.

Playing hopscotch on the pavement outside our house, and rambling through the bush at our holiday shack. Finding unseen caverns and playing in them.

I worked in a Nursing Home, where I witnessed an AIN pushing over a resident, calling him a stupid old man. I went straight to the Deputy to report it. She told me that I should be nice to this girl, because she was having a hard time at home. I was absolutely shocked that this could not only happen, but there were zero repercussions for someone who was supposed to be giving care to the frail, elderly residents.

Being the head honcho in NSW is hard,your in no way going to be able to keep everyone happy,by trying to keep some happy she has plunged that state into being a bit of a basket case,the lockdowns should have been hard and fast first up,now your going to be in the doldrums there for donkeys,being a true leader she would have not been to bothered what people thought and done the right thing by the people even if it had gotten her kicked out at the next election

Call 90 Day Fiancé!!!

Depends on what the drug is and why they're taking it for. If it's for enhancing like steroids, then I think they should be banned but if it's for medical purpose, then it's ok.

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.

It doesn't matter where you live as there is always some risk. Weather is only one of the risks. Volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, rock falls, forest fires to name some things.

A friend is someone who is always there for you to give comfort and support. We go through life but really you can count your "Best" friends on one hand. So many people these days are fake.

When all these countries get into space...in twos or threes...look down on the tiny planet...all work together, with a mixture of many nations... for the common good...they all bond...look at those happy faces on the space station...that is magic!!...that doesn't happen down here on Earth...and it gives me hope...nothing is too much bother...they would risk death for each other....maybe we should all be up there for a while..

No none. Wish I had it might motivate me to exercise more. The most I do is walk every day for approx. 30 min. with my dog. Used to love dancing the Rock and Roll. Now that kept me fit. Sometimes I wish I could go back to it again.

Take 20 litres of tap water, add a kilo of beer wort and a kilo of sugar, sprinkle a bit of yeast over it and wait a month, then bottle it... Then wait another month and drink it... Yes, tap water really does taste great..

We don't travel overseas at all, have our own Campervan, I always wanted to see my own country and we have seen a lot of it, and a lot more to go, Australia is so beautiful and such a diverse landscape, we are in wonderment all the time. No desire to travel overseas, especially since the pandemic.

School is not just about grades. School is about learning how to develop social skills, to negotiate, to converse, to organise your time, to learn about what is appropriate in different contexts ... the list goes on. These are all vital skills for the workforce. They may not help you get a job initially, but they will certainly help you keep it, and they improve your chances of progressing in work that you really enjoy.

I saw her across a field of clover. Our eyes met. She had the the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. She was only young but the look in her eyes was enough. They my father put her into the back of the truck with the rest of the heifers and drove them off to market. Such is life.

Let’s just be humans, in the end when will we learn & be one race, I guess we just need an alien invasion to realise who we are, Happiness within.

It doesn't fall into the "sexist" category at all! A man opening a door for a woman is delightful (and kinda sexy!).

It seems good, but I get annoyed And disappointed that I can’t complete surveys and I either get half way thru or to the end and the page doesn’t load and then I miss out on points, that I’ve worked hard for on surveys, what’s the point putting surveys up and People not being able to complete them or completing them all for nothing? Would be helpful to at least get some points instead of it completely wasting my time, that I would never get back!

I had to go into forced retirement due to a chronic injury and illness. I was lucky my late husband left me some money as I can't get any government benefits because I'm too young. My illness isn't recognised by centrelink so I do not get any money. I'd go back to work if it was possible.

Well done Peter! Okay, now take the $3,000, head straight to the casino, find the nearest roulette wheel, and put it all on black! Disclaimer: I am not qualified to give financial advice, please don't actually do it! \ud83d\ude02"

6 points none of them.I got a free rose scented hand soap on products I test Really is strong which is why the bottle is still almost full.Nobody uses it much.Maybe I should use it as a cleaner for bathroom sink it smells like a air freshener blew up lol.

That sounds absolutely delicious and different, will definitely try your recipe thanks for sharing with us.

I tried an offer/ app, once....there were too many ads for little return...I have no idea if I even received the points...so I deleted the app.. I wouldn't bother if I were you..

My son and his vegetarian girlfriend showed up and she made delicious refried beans spicy burritos. She asks "Did you like them?", I reply "I'll keep you on!", with her looking bewildered. Thanks for this recipe, I'll pass it on to her (she'll replace the meat).

The twist is there's no KFC ? .That coleslaw does look much better than theirs and nice with bacon bits.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I am vegetarian so would leave the meat out but would probably leave some of the spices out also. It sounds delicious.

Just one question, retail or service industry? I ask as most will have an online presence and I would be looking at their Privacy Terms to throw back in their face. I agree with APB, I would take it further than just the business.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and looking out for the community! To answer your main question: No, members do not receive any extra points or rewards for placing on the leaderboard. It is purely for fun and friendly competition. Regarding the top scores, we checked the game logs for the current top player, "Richo." We reviewed the time spent per game, browser data, and gameplay patterns, and we found absolutely no evidence of suspicious activity or cheating. Some players have just mastered rapid typing and word patterns over years of practice! We appreciate your feedback, and wish you the best of luck getting onto the weekly high scores list again soon.

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.

Thanks for sharing your recipe (River). However, I have a lack-of-control-issue when it comes to SWEETS!

a lot of people it would be a party of sorts but i have to say picking one would my nan she was a tough as nails soft as a cupcake and laughed like a kookaburra and smiled like the joker

Just refuse and/or dump them....its easy....I just dumped Pure Profile for this kind of rubbish....after years with no problems..it is a case of the tail trying to wag the dog...who is making them money? we need more respect...

Another thought Alex...if you are going to be posting regularly...don't always use the same heading mate...I thought this one was your last one and narrowly missed answering you!

I never heard of the ,reminds me of choux pastry. Would be nice with some jam or maple syrup and maybe ice cream.

BbQ Sausage sizzle and bread . Sausage sizzle and tomato sauce .Sausage sizzle and Bunnings .Sausage sizzle and fried onions \ud83d\ude0b It seems Sausage has a few must haves to go with. I'm so excited I even bought two at the butcher's yesterday !!

I already do a similar one. It's a NZ one, so I might try yours as well. I always have them made & frozen in the freezer in case someone pops in. There are so many ways you can make them.

I wondered that too. I would also like to know why so many real words come up as 'unknown word'. I'd love to know which dictionary they have used.

I did not think advertising your business was allowed on sites like this and nor are referrals to other sites. Is this correct or incorrect?

I have some bottles of dehydrated water.....going cheap...$20 a bottle. Directions read....just add water...

Hi Kamana 1696768. My only substitute will be 'jackfruit' for chicken strips. Looking forward to trying this recipe (I love spaghetti - a type of pasta). Yummy. I appreciate the time and effort you put into submitting this recipe!

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. If you really want an enviromentally-friendly transport option, we should be using Flintstones-style vehicles ... stick your feet through the floor and run along the ground. \ud83d\ude09

I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe (THANKS)! I will substitute 70 g margarine cubed for 70 g butter cubed. I will try your recipe before the day is over (YUMMY)!

I will substitute 'seitan' for eight chicken drumsticks or four diced chicken breasts (vegetarian). I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe. Thanks!

This recipe always reminds me of the family dinner scene from the movie "The Castle"\ud83d\ude02 Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sylvia 165838. I have never heard of Indian Style Haka Noodle (not even a rumor :-))! I will try your recipe ASAP (since I am a hard-core-vegetarian). Furthermore, I appreciate the time you took to post your recipe (THANKS)!

You're not obligated to save a seat for her. Tell her you don't feel comfortable doing that since there's no assigned seating.

I make butter chicken but I cheat and use Patak's paste, one tin of tomatoes an onion and coconut cream with naan bread and basmati rice. I'm not a very good cook so I cheat wherever I can.

Hi liane, were you watching Masterchef Australia this evening? A highly sought after Malaysian Cook/Chef called Junta Khoo was on with a similar dish! I bet that your recipe is equally good and somewhat less fraught with danger to make! I will make this recipe and enjoy. Thank you.

Haven't had a good Rendang in a while . \ud83d\ude0b Love the little rice duckie:) Is it Topside beef ? I'm guessing hazelnuts instead of candlenuts as they are harder to find Matt Black ?
