Why is this even a topic on this discussion? Good for you but probably doesn’t relate to the rest of us

About 14 or 15 I think. I'd had trouble seeing when I was in primary school but every time I had an eye test, they said I was fine. Turns out the optometrist needed glasses himself and had been reading the results wrong for years. A lot of kids needed glasses in the years following that

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.

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'.

In our arrogance we humans have run around destroying their natural habitat and all with the approval of mopst of the world's politicians. Zoos have become a necessity so as to protect and ensure the various species do not become extinct. If Indonesia would step in and stop the destruction of Orang-utan habitat and the rest of the World simply placed a total, complete, utter ban on using anything containing Palm Oil then these wonderful creatures would not be in danger of extinction. If the governments of some Asian countries would make the caging of Bears and other speies a Life Sentence Criminal Offence and other countries imposed total sanctions on those countries the cruelty would end.

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.

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

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.

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

Love carrot soup :) Mine is with 1/3 cup of rice to thicken and half an orange . All gets blended wwith a good dash of cream at the end.

Looking forward to trying this recipe. The golden crust with melted and bubbly cheese appeals to my tastebuds. Thanks for sharing today.

Yes, I've had this problem with several games. I contacted Rewardia to see if there was something wrong with the game(s) but they say they work okay for them! My fault again of course.

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

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

I feel like that when they ask about all your assets too. Do you have a dishwasher, a dryer, surround sound system, Smart TV etc.....? It's like they're casing the place.....

One side is miserable. Complains the town tree in front of my house sheds its fall leaves on her property. Other side is good.

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!

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?

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...

We have a special container that is designed for cooking poached eggs in the microwave and it is fantastic.

But you forgot the beer to wash it down.. Now where did that pig go? Here piggy, here piggy\u2026 Nice apple for you..

OK so the title to this page has been changed...meditation has been removed...now I only have manifesting to work with..thats when something appears..well I have had a few things manifest themselves to me...all unpleasant..and I was teleported briefly to some battlements near where I lived in Scotland (at a different time and season) ..I didn't even know they were there....before being dumped back on the staircase of my home...soaking wet... {melting heavy snow in summer)...it only took a few minutes....aside from that everything seems perfectly normal....

I hate pavolva and I do not care to hear any more about who invented it. As far as I am concerned, this disgusting recipe can return to New Zealand as I do not want it associated with Australia.\ud83e\udd23

I burnt my Hawaiian pizza last night, I should have put it on aloha setting. I tried shallow frying a twig, it kept falling out, guess it was a non stick pan. I tried using 'beef' as my password... it wasn't stroganoff.

Hi Kamana 1696768. Not into fish - anymore (these days). Still, I appreciate the time and effort you put into submitting your recipe!

Soft kitty... warm kitty...little ball of fur... Sheldon's song from Big Bang Theory\ud83e\udd23 I like cats and not rats\ud83e\udd23

Thanks. I see thighs and drumsticks have been suggested already. Either would be my choice. Sounds awesome.

Sadly, its not rewardia who decides that...its the ones rewardia is hosting the survey for. I have used 2 dozen survey sites in my 20 years of doing them online...this is by far the best. Lots of sites you get nothing when you're booted from a survey.

Time for bad mushroom jokes: Mushrooms don't buy couches because they prefer toadstools. Did you hear the joke about the fungus? You might not like it at first, but it will grow on you. Why did the mushroom lose the weightlifting competition? He wasn't stroganoff. Alas my mushroom jokes are of spore taste!

European Tradition used to be to take them down after the 6th January when the "Blessing of the Waters" are performed .. still stick to that but prolong it a bit as they are so pretty and brighten up the place! Yes, maybe I am just a big kid at heart!

I've really got to cut the whiskey down in his eggnog next year she thought as she flurried along picking up scattered packages ...

Not a role model dad joke. When I was little, innocent, and young - eons ago - I used to 'pray' for a bicycle. I grew cynical - because no bicycle appeared, I learned from people who went to Sunday School that's not exactly how praying works. So, I stole a bicycle, and prayed for forgiveness - which explains WHY I never became a DAD!

Two fried eggs with stir-fried onions, stir-fried green peppers, stir-fried vegetables between two slices of cheese, and two slices of toasted wheat bread - with a smoothie make at HOME! I celebrate waking up at my age - breakfast is a BIG DEAL for me - lol!

I had a dog that was 8 when she tore a ligament in her back leg . We put her on a product called "biovet joint suplement" mixed into hamburger, within a month she walking on her own six months she was walking up and down stairs again on her own in a yr she was running around almost like when she was young . We kept her on it until she died at 14 1/2. No arthritis.

Have never wanted them and when I see what some people pay for them I feel they are being pretentious, they could do so much better with the money like helping charities

SPENDING A FUN AND HAPPY "MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH FAMILY,AND LAUGHING AWAY ON SWEET MOMENTS.. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ON SITE!!!

Maybe just go one time and order water with a lemon slice and when you get the chance, tell your work mates of your situation. I'm sure they will understand and sympathise with you. And if they offer to buy a round, accept graciously and don't worry about having to pay them back. They wouldn't offer to buy you a drink and expect one in return. I'm sure they're just happy you could join them on a night out. So go girl... and have fun!

There are so many teen pregnancies, young girls I'll equipped to raise children, both financially, and mentally.. You're probably in a much better financial position, you've got the maturity and life experience, so I say absolutely go for it!

you know what my nana said when I asked Pop why he is always smiling she said because he is tone deaf dear

I can't perceive this happening at Rewardia.com - but anything (in time) can be in the realm of possibility.

GUT FEELING FOR SURE!!! THE LONGER YOU PROCRASTINATE THE BETTER THE CHANCE OF GETTING IT WRONG!!!!

I go for a walk (my happy place) - every day (regardless of the weather - but - I reside In Sunny Southern Cailfornia - LOL). I set a fast pace (I walk by myself), I walk in the evening, and I walk for two straight hours. I can literally feel the stress leaving my body.

I PLAYED BASKETBALL (OUTSIDE) IN MY TEENS AND TWENTIES NOW I SWIM MY DAD WAS A CHAMPION IN THE DAY I STILL LOVE IT AND I'M IN MY 70'S

I love Scrabble and will use the OFFICIAL dictionary if I think your word doesn't exist. I have played Monopoly and the other players united forces against me, so after hours of playing I flipped the board.\ud83e\udd23 Competitive? No I just have issues lol.

The friend who made the offer should have informed the woman. That would have been the decent thing to do.

Playing on the freeways, hand feeding tigers and mountain climbing are great ways to keep them amused.

I'm sorry, I know it's a natural process (for most women, though not all can do it), but I really don't want to have to see it.

You can't really compare it to the last time you helped someone. Everyone is different and not everyone will screw you over. If I had enough money to spare I would help my partner provided he's not blowing all his money on drugs, alcohol, gambling etc. and then expecting others to give him money for his necessities.

I am too busy living life to listen to podcasts. Do a search for topics you like, you will find millions.

DONT DRINK OVER UR LIMILT ONLY U KNOW WHAT UR SYSTEM CAN TAKE THEN THIS DONT OCCUR I DONT DRINK SO I DONT REMEMBER ITS BEEN 11 YEARS SO I DONT REMEBER BUT ONLY U CAN DO WHATS RIGHT 4 U SO DONT DRINK 2 MUCH

With my mum in law passing a few weeks ago, the family had the unenviable task of going through her unit to get it ready for sale, as it was in an aged care village. She kept cards, and the grandkids were going through them, (they are all adults), and found so many from/to their dear 'Pa' that they had sent many years back when they were little (he passed in 1988), and the kids were thrilled to see them & took them home for themselves as keepsakes. I guess everyone is different, not everyone is sentimental. I feel it's disrespectful to throw them out.

WOW! This is a machine! But I see it's $3759 at Harvey Norman (which means it's the same price everywhere). What they won't advertise is the fact that they won't let you walk out of the store until you buy a 2-year extended warranty - add $150. Choice Magazine recently warned that this is a scam. Consumers are protected by laws. Once you buy the product or service, the promise becomes a right that can be enforced under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Warranties are separate from your automatic consumer guarantees, which apply regardless of any warranty's suppliers sell or give to you. Basically, you will pay for warranty even though you are protected by law. Your PC comes with a manufacturer's warranty of 12 months. You are also protected by law. You don't need to buy an extended warranty.

Vapes just dont compare in my books. To cut the expense I buy duty free cigarettes which are approximately $10 cheaper. Your far better off if you can quit altogether but after trying most cessation products myself and having COPD I still havent managed to quit.

I have planned a surprise party for my husband's 40th, never in my life attempted to do such a thing, so one day the thought came to my head and I spoke to my mother-in-law and she supported me in my decision, I choose a restaurant in Moonee Ponds. Just had mainly family and a few of my hubbies friends. it was a nice group of about 30 people. I had organized the date/time venue menu /birthday cake . All I told my husband was that on the day we were going out for dinner for his birthday although I didn't want him to see where we were going, I got him into the car. Blindfolded him and held on to his hand and guided him while walking, when I got him inside the venue all the family gathered ready to greet him once i took the blindfold off him he got the biggest and most unexpected shock of his life. My husband could not believe how I could keep such a secret, because I am one who gets exciteded .

It's sort of random, sometimes I can grind away for what feels like 20 mins just to get 280 points but then sometimes I can get lucky and do one in 3-4 mins and get 900 points

it was called colonialism - in my youth - now it is called politically correct - in my old age - don't ask questions that will offend the majority - it was called institutional racism - in my youth - now it is called systemic racism - in my old age - don't ask questions that will offend the majority - names for concepts change - the concept doesn't EVER change

Here in South Australia, if you are the first person to report a faulty street light and they don't fix it within 10 days you can get a GSL payment of $25. GSL stands for Guaranteed Service Level. We don't seem to have too many problems with street lights around where I live.

Only spend what you have to. People buy things that are not needed, so their money disappears before their eyes. There are many ways to save, some better than others, so use your imagination. I had plans to go to Ukraine this year but that has been put on hold for now.

Could we please have more ‘play again’ options, so we don’t have to go back & forth to the list? Especially with ones like Trivia, because if you go to the list, you get a preview of the question, & I would rather not know the question till I get there.

I often have 'earworms' like that. Today my son was singing 'Won't you take me to Funky Town' and it is still playing on a loop in my head.lol

I have tried everything and nothing got rid of the little beasties until I discovered Ant-Rid ant baits, they are little white blocks that you can stick to surfaces and the beasties go inside and take the stuff back to their nest - they really work and they are all gone within a couple of days

l had a Samsung which died so my sister gave me her spare lphone which took me 18 months to work out how to use. Every thing l tried to do was not compactable with the lphone, which meant l had to find different ways to get the phone to do what l wanted, very frustrating. l would never buy an lphone, shich is over priced. When this one breaks down l will go back to an Android

That is a question i rather frequently ask myself- particularly this evening after working through a green survey, completing and submitting- then to be told i hadn't completed it!! do we do these surveys to get frustrated! truly it is for the points and some money..but i do really enjoy connecting with everyone on the forums and seeing other people's comments..i like the games but wish more points could be earned..i work for ages doing the addictive 10x10 puzzle- over an hour- points not much. Whinge over- i am addicted to Rewardia and am on it every night

It wasn't until I started work at the age of 15 years that I made a good friend. I was bullied all through school. Then I found a great job where I met my best friend and the people I worked with were fantastic. Then my dad decided we should emigrate to Australia from the UK and I left my friends and my beautiful dog behind. Don't get me wrong I mostly love Australia apart from the Government, I have been married since 1979, four wonderful daughters, four grandchildren and a greyhound who is now my best friend, companion and confidante, she never gossips.

My shoes were hurting me the other day and I had to sit down - then I saw the problem - I had them on the wrong feet! Couldn't stop laughing at myself.

Yes,, often, I am aware I am dreaming but at the same time I wake up and my dream has been so realistic and attached to my life as it is that when I wake up I sometimes have to ask myself "Was I dreaming or was this real?" A bit confusing some times and at other times when I realise I was just dreaming I am very, very grateful!

gosh Andrew 1, how could you use /convert such a beautiful piece of furniture as a bathroom cupboard, My brother is an antique restorer/french polisher, he works for several dealers and auctioneers to restore this type of furniture and would be crying if he saw and hear what you did to it, that would be worth a fortune, and don't worry I won't tell him LOL, I love antiques

Its my mother that affected my life. She told me from very early on, she was disappointed the day I was born as I wasnt the 3rd son she had to have. She told me, I was fat, ugly, dumb, stupid would amount to nothing in life. She said, when Sue was born she was so ugly we threw away the baby and kept the afterbirth. She refused to name me, so after 2 weeks Dad named me. She said the only kind of man I will ever attract into my life will be blind and handicapped, so he wont see how ugly Iam and will be more intelligent than me. When it came out that I had been sexually abused and raped for years by my eldest brother, she went into overdrive to help, protect and support him, she did nothing for me. My Dad died on a Tuesday, my mother sent my other brother around on the Friday to tell me, after the funeral. I found out through an Aunty, that my mother got all the people that she wanted to the hospital to see Dad and say their goodbyes, my son and I werent asked. I miss my Dad and think of him every day, he was a weak man and my mother loved that, she treated him so badly. Dad was a good man.

An update to my earlier post! Recklessly (Or should that be "Wreck".....) I succumbed to DIY temptation again not long after writing it, after all what harm could another small bookcase do? Duly went online to find a matching one, only available in White now, that's OK, I have no colour bias, perfect harmony with the Black one..... Arrived on my doorstep this morning, great! Cold day, nothing like a bit of DIY on a cold winter's day to get the blood pumping, as long as I don't get any one the carpet. Lifted the box up...TRIED to lift the box up....it slowly dawned on me that this "Thing" was a whole heap bigger & heavier than the other one. Dragged it inside & propped it up against the dining table, where it remains. I'll get onto it tomorrow, maybe, after I've moved the furniture. It wont fit where I'd planned. My biggest dilemma though is they sent me one worth $50 not the one I paid $20 for, what should I do?!!!!

Cryptocurrency and regular currency will co-exist in the future. Cryptocurrency, and owning your own crypto-wallet means you become your own bank. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. While it is new technology, there are a lot of scammers looking to exploit those that are unfamiliar with it, and there are a lot of new 'cryptocurrencies' which can be used as "ponzi schemes"/Pump and Dumps"/"Rug pulls". I think this is a great video that actually helps explain the concepts of Cryptography/Cryptocurrency. (I hope im allowed to post this) https://youtu.be/bBC-nXj3Ng4 Moving forward, I believe things like crypto can be very good for the world, and can improve trust in things like Elections, contracts and other legal issues. But, it still has a long way to come before real world adoption.

Based on law in NZ you son had right of way, the other car was pulling out onto a carriageway and must give way or stop until way is clear. Drivers can exchange details of Name Address/contact phone number, Registration No and name of Insurance Co. If requested by other driver you must disclose this info and he must reciprocate as required under the Land Transport Act. I would also make a Police report to get it documented if police didnt attend accident esp if he refuses to supply required details. Here getting a ticket is not a requirement for Insurance Company

To explore and discover new things,meet new people and make new friends, try new cuisines and indulge in new experiences and learn about other cultures...If we didn't travel life would be boring .I have been to Sydney,Brisbane,Gold Coast,Vanuatu and all around my own country here in NZ from the South Island to the top of the North Island and all going well,I will be heading to Rarotonga later next year for a 60th party.

Our windows are great. We updated from drapes to venetians in 05 and have had no trouble since, just a little antiviral work with a brush & hose once a year...beaut!....lol

Me like to buy cheap things on very good special at shop and eat it before it goes out of date. This is usually the same day I buy it. Me have to eat it very fast.

i love the english from yorkshire and the north of england but you drive from village to village and the accents are differant love them i,m from cornwall so thats didfferant again

If we can get 100% support from all citizens in following government regulations, we can defeat this terrible virus. But it needs 100% NOT 99% or less. The ball is now in our court. The pathway to recovery is there and it is achievable. Stay strong and committed to following all government directives and we will surely win.

Its funny, when we all discuss Christmas...there are loads of people who get all worked and upset about it being all about Christ, and people have forgotten the true meaning etc.....Yet when we get to Easter ...another Pagan festival that the Christians stole from it's true owners...Everyone is talking about hot cross buns, chocolate eggs and bunnies...I guess the Christians couldn't come up with anything better.....

As a lonely teen in the UK back in the 50s and 60s I had penpals all over the world. We exchanged postcards, stamps, learnt a bit about languages and other cultures. How exciting it was to receive mail from France, Japan, USA, Italy, Norway, Jugoslavia, the Azores etc. I studied languages at School and Uni and hitchhiked around Europe meeting and mixing wonderful people including my future husband. Now Facebook has replaced letter writing and I love hearing from my many International friends every day.

Lessons and learning can go both ways. You teach them things and likewise they can teach you things. Your talking about bossing someone, there should be respect from both sides. Discipline is a different thing, it's like learning what's right and wrong. However gaining experience and learning is something you will always do.

A Lot of poor innocent women were wrongly burnt at the stake years ago by ignorant people, sometimes for just helping. I'm open minded.

Come on all you people saying you’ve never heard of Instagram and so many other things that have been discussed on here. Okay how have you found rewardia site then if you seem to know nothing about technology or the internet?

I save up all my change at the end of the week and it goes into a special bank account for my little volunteer school in a very poor Balinese Village for children whose parents cannot afford the Government school fees. I began it as a kindergarten and it has been going now for 8 years, helped by my fundraising and donations from friends. Whenever I go over to take books, clothing, soccer boots etc., my accumulated bank deposits help pay the school bills. It is run by my Balinese friends who take no money themselves so the children can get a basic education. It is amazing how change does make such a difference to children who have nothing, not even a toy of their own. Covid has meant I cannot get over there since January and my tiny school has closed, waiting until I can get back with what I have saved.

What do you mean these days? I have witnessed this behaviour for decades BUT it does seem to get worse over time.

Totally agree healthcare should be free worldwide. It would actually cut the cost of medications, surgeries etc. People with no health cover are doomed from the start unless they're on a 5 figure salary

Th best present I can have is that they, The NZ Govt, CANCEL ALL IMMIGRATION to NZ till the global virus has gone away.

....there's always the "off" switch - better expenditure of your energy than using pliers on your pearly whites.

People should leave other people alone unless they are hurting someone...All this judgment over everything is just tiresome. Have people got nothing better to do...

in risk areas yes, we couldn't get masks for a long time after lock down, if you where glasses they get fogged up

Send your banking details to the company that doesn't exist....who is selling japanese shirts on Rewardia....your life should get more interesting very shortly...there is an old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times"....looks like they are fairly good using AI too....I hope they pay for the adverting....

Nice one . You can get vegan oyster sauce too from the asian section :)

Some of these are carried out on behalf of Universities...who paid for them...they would be horrified if they knew they too are being ripped off by some cowboy survey company ...

Sounds absolutely delicious, but i am on a trial drug, which is a weightloss drug, and I have completely lost my appetite. It is wonderful to have all these recipes saved in a file on Rewardia for reference any time in the future.

Hi Kamana I just love making home made bread. This is certainly a recipe I will be making tonight or tomorrow night. That smell when it is baking in the oven and then having a warm piece with butter. Yummy.....Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

Thanks. Nice dipped into Tzaziki. (Why does someone feel the need to reply \u201cYuck\u201d, there is no excuse for bad manners)

I used to make ginger beer but if I left it too long under the bed then there would be Pop Pop Pop as the pressure blew the tops of the bottles off\u2026\u2026\u2026.lol

Sounds good Loops. I for one am sick of typing especially in a hurry ..perhaps like on most modern gaming platforms they could have the option of audio access as well . We already have private rooms ..why not a private vmail box .? . ..it would make Bongo quite exciting ..no?

When you have been with Rewardia for as long as I have, the wod games, especially Cookie Hangman, i feel is the way to go. I have been through them so many times previously so I just whip through them.

my tech savy grandson told me to put my curser on the link it shows and if it is different to the address it says the email is from then do not click it because it is most likely a scam

These days I get screened out alot. Either I start answering questions, then they say sorry you've been screened out. Or i actually get to the end of the survey and it says either (error) ( page not found) or screened out after im do e answering all the questions. That makes me angry because ive just wasted time in doing them. Sometimes I get 2pts as a compensation, but mostly not. That's why I hardly get points together. BS

Where do I begin? I actually bought some steak the other day. Then I needed butter ( Preference Western Star) . Cheese . Jersey milk. Coffee . Chocolate . Oh what the hell, let's add in the raspberries.
