It depends on what you want...your age...your work... and your interests...everybody is different and that is part of what makes life interesting...you just need to organise your life so it fits in with where you live and your goals really...

I've been a gardener all my life, and currently have a small home garden and oversee a community garden at my church, where we have 68 plots of 100 sq. ft. each. There we have raised produce for local hunger relief - with this being our 25th year!

The thing is why should people pay for childcare who don\u2019t have children. I know it\u2019s tough but you have the kids- you look after them

My youngest (22) applied for a chef apprentice job 2 days ago. Them: Do you have any work experience? Him: I'm in my 4th year at KFC. When I lived at home I'd cook dinners and now I do that for my flatmates. Them: What would be a downside working here? Him: Mum won't be around to clean my mess. He got the job! \ud83d\ude02

I dont work and were I live there is no public transport but with the cost of fuel it is becoming hard to go and buy food as I have to travel about an hour to the shops

I find this upsetting as I lost my beautiful Mum to cancer and wish everyday that I could speak to her one more time, be lucky if you have a loving mum

Hmm, governments urging calm and doing nothing! Typical. In my opinion the first thing they should have done was ban people filling jerry cans. Fill car - that's it. Now we await rationing I expect.

Bring back discipline to school and stop teachers sprouting woke nonsense ...... let kids be kids ......

I lost my wife of fifty-two years last fall. My two daughters and five grandchildren are helping me get through this very difficult time.

Co-ed. Yes agree with Jennifer. Too much testosterone in all male school, too much PMS/bitchiness in all girls school. We dont live in all female society or an all male society, so why we do it in schools?

It\u2019s sad that appliances don\u2019t last like they used to. I bought a toaster but it only lasted 6 months! This all contributes to too much waste and bad for the environment!

It's good to be aware of your surroundings it's not a problem it's a necessity, if the person is slumped over they may be exhibiting exhaustion or a medical problem or so many other things. If you feel safe I would think a quick conversation with the neighbors would help give you a piece of mind.

Those thieving dumbarses! \ud83d\ude21 This pisses me off that people think they can just destroy something that someone else loves. Hence why I hate humans! Except you of course lovely Liane. I too love Frangipani, my daughter\u2019s favourite flower, and I\u2019m so sorry your neighbours are so inconsiderate and ignorant! This sux. And as far as Elizabeth T and FriedLikeMost leaving their heartless comments\u2026. They can sod off!

What's happening? Nothing... Who's doing what? I'm relaxing with my puppy, Lacy... To whom? Just me and Lacy! Where? Home, sweet home! At my place, staying in, out of the weather, and out of the crowds? Good Day! ;-D

You can NEVER have "something" come from "nothing". It is why it is called the big bang THEORY for a reason...not proven or truhful AT ALL. Why do the elites push this lie? Simple...if we can be made to THINK we are so insignificant and RANDOMLY came from NOTHING...then it is easier FOR THEM to justify how they MUST HAVE "been chosen" to rule over us. When, in reality, NOBODY is insignificant and NOBODY should be ruling over ANYONE else. Yet, here we are...lied to about this, lied to about our earth, lied to about EVERYTHING during 'satans little season', or, the age of deception from 1776 thru to 2026. The jig is up, folks!! The Millenium Reign already happened when Christ returned in 70 AD. "Christ" returning for a THIRD TIME is ALLEGORY for TRUTH COMING BACK TO SOCIETY!!!!!! This is why these globalists are rushing to get us under their digital enslavement asap...because, as TRUTH comes back, their LIES GET EXPOSED. I have been at this since 1999...and yet most have been so asleep and unaware, but, thankfully, the truth is so strong and real that folk will NOT be able to deny it anymore. EVERYTHING WE KNOW HAS BEEN A LIE TO FIT THE GLOBAL ELITES NARRATIVE...so THEY can work to enslave US ALL. Thse elites beLIEve to be "chosen ones"...but, remember, as per Revelation, these people SAY they are a certain group, BUT ARE NOT!! It's BEEN proven they have deceived humanity for thousands of years, especially in this last 250 year period, aka satans little season. These deceivers are the evil behind EVERYTHING in our society today. Just remember...the BLACK CUBE of SATURN is what they worship. "Kabbalah" is what they practice. It's no COINCIDENCE they also created Islam...which has fools worshipping satan as well...as they worship at the KAABA of ALLAH. It's LITERALLY in the words, yet most CANNOT SEE. ANYTHING in this 3D realm that is "religious" IS against God. ALL OF IT...TO DECEIVE YOU!!!!!! You awake and aware yet? Get rid of them 'smart'phones and as MUCH tech as possible...a REGRESSION technologically is the answer...and STOP getting jabbed! They are LITERALLY changing your DNA and ANY AND ALL injectables post-Covid fraud ARE ALL THE SAME TECH DOING THIS. Homo borgensis is your new term if you get these transhumanist shots. Stop complying to these LIARS and FRAUDS.

Well Angie, I will give this a shot. Hopefully, this helps someone. There are waves of ups and downs in life. Some people have more of them and others less. That is the unfairness of life. We all do not arrive on this earth plane on the same playing field. However a good attitude towards one another and our self is critical if we want to evolve as better human beings. Hopefully there is enough time to learn this. Find your loving purpose and intention and spread it to others as much as you can. How do you want to be remembered by others? Best wishes!

You should be asking, "What makes me so angry? Why do I feel this way?" Are you envious of your sister's wealth and success? Why can't you be proud of her success? If this is something you want too, work toward it like I'm sure she did. I doubt if it was handed to her. I'm sorry you felt you had to ask this question. There are much more important things in life than wealth and success, Andrzej, trust me! ;-D

Many people have multiple talents, but few have the opportunity to use them the way famous people do. If the opportunity AND the talent are there, then why not?

no point in living in the past its gone and tommorrow is another day Enjoy your life its the only one you will get

swearing is part of our culture today, its all over the little box we watch so often, our kids are often exposed to bad language wherever you go, do I find it offensive, no, do I swear, rarely ,depends if you talk to a swearer you tend to swear because they do, but tv allows all kind of profanities, I think it starts there, the gov have relaxed all kinds of morals that was once controlled , and as a result morals and standards have dropped, its amazing that kids first words are not profanities

It's all dependent on the person and science has shown that everytime you revisit a negative memory you actually reinforce its presence in your brain and make it stronger. Humans are wired to look for negative patterns as it used to potentially save our life. So there comes a point where you have to CHOOSE to move forward and force new better habits, memories and pathways in the brain. Yes this takes time but consider the alternative. You get older and the realization that you will die one day starts to hit. You look back at your life and what did you do with it...sulk, sit depressed over the past. That truly is a life wasted. It always takes two to tango so when you say that you have been betrayed by your friends, family AND spouse then I'm sorry but you definitely contributed in some way. False memory is often instant especially for those who suffer trauma so no doubt the past you're remembering is not entirely accurate and more forcefully negative from your own presumptions. No person is ever so innocent that the world completely dominates them through no fault of their own. Like attracts like so start by focusing on your OWN actions and be the change you want to see in the world. If someone has betrayed you it's because you let them. Learn to be your own champion and put yourself first but be kind to others along the way without compromising your truest values. There are few true victims in society but by choosing to be one especially after so many years and not moving on you are not only actively creating a life of misery for yourself but you feed it to those around you making their lives harder and repeating the cycle. Most of you will deem this harsh but if kind words were going to help then they would have worked by now...8 years already! You have so much more life to live... don't feel guilty at what's already passed just savour what's left. Move forward and refuse to let any actual betrayals continue to ruin your life or they win. It's your choice so make it.

39 years in a few days , marriage is a commitment , if you cant honour the commitment don't make the deal

Actually an Axolotl is an amphibian that looks like half a lizard and half a fish. 10 out of 10 points for him asking for that!. Kids are amazing, they soak up facts and information like a sponge. They must have seen it somewhere on TV or in a book. The response of "That not even a word" is 0 out of 10. Don't put the ideas of children down. They missed a wonderful opportunity for an interesting conversation. NEVER put children's ideas down. We are adults/so what? Nurture a child's growth and never stunt their imagination or ideas.

There\u2019s a miriad of answers for this question. I think, personally, that we often don\u2019t appreciate what we have until it\u2019s gone and relationships break down when you don\u2019t take the time to nurture them. People don\u2019t like feeling that they are being taken for granted and we can do this without realising the effect it has on those we genuinely care about until the time comes when they feel so undervalued that the relationship falls apart. I would love to be able to go back in time and spend more time with the people that I loved who are now gone out of my life but I can\u2019t. I just try not to make the same mistake again and every time I talk to my adult children I tell them that I love them as this might be the last time I get to say it. I still care deeply for people whom I have had no contact with in years yet it is too late to repair the damage. Be kind every day! Thanks for reading.

Just how are they going to police this? Are Councils going to employ people to stay up all night - which is when cats are out and about, entereing people's properties without warning? If they do are they prepared, and take Full Responsibility if some of them get killed by Property Owners? It should be remembered that in some countries they have almost non-existent Gun Laws (the USA springs to mind), where mass killings are now the norm, people are allowed to have virtually any type of Military Weapons they fancy which they claim they need to protect their homes and families - its all nonsense but then that is what we expect from Trumpland! The death of these unannounced invaders of people's property will be inevitable, people will shoot first and ask questions later. In Australia where we are not supposed to have any firearms , but many do, if someone started poking around my property in the middle of the night I would turn a high-powered hose on them. The whole idea is based on sheer stupidity, is unworkable.

Spring now in OZ.....cant we tell the difference We have a saying here in Oz........Spring has sprung and the grass is riz,we wonder where all the birdies is!!!!!!

I used Ozempic until it threatened my life. I lost almost 100 pounds in a few short months. I suffered through almost all of the listed side effects. I started randomly passing out and I finally just quit using it. It's been a couple of months now since I stopped using it. My weight is coming back (I don't need to weigh 125 lbs. I should be about 140 or 145.) My breathing is stabalizing and I'm starting to eat regularly. The drug certainly helped me lose weight. If you're going to use it be very very vigilant about any feelings of ill health.

SORRY, I sometimes wonder why so many seem to have problems. Do they have extra commitments or credit, debts or what that are not mentioned? MAYBE it is a combination of living on credit, no money to live beyond means. makes price rise hard to adjust to. I am on a fixed income around double what pension is, I own my own home, no debts whatsoever. No credit cards for decades. YES I notice prices have gone up. BUT I mainly buy fresh fruit, veg and meat, fish. I never buy anything in packet. I find money doesn't go as far as before, but we are not struggling YET. Those day a mose likely ahead of us, with all the lunacy in government world wide

Does AGEISM exist in the 'real' world (not just in movies or tv shows)? Yes! Does RACISM exist in the 'real' world (not just in movies or tv shows)? Yes! Does SEXISM exist in the 'real' world (not just in movies or tv shows)? Yes! However, you gave outdated examples (not valid for the twenty-first century) when you were trying to make your point on sexism. FYI: Humans (all of us) are incapable of making changes - which is why history KEEPS repeating itself (ageism, racism, and sexism still exist in the twenty-first century)!

I was there in the 50s. We would have taken it up and we would have missed the best of all times. Rock and Roll was King and we lived with joy and hope for the future. Now look at the world.

There are so many but I\u2019d have to say \u2018The Green Mile.\u2019 It\u2019s a powerful, spiritual experience and Tom Hanks leads a stellar cast.

Homeschooling eliminates bullying and diseases, but it may also eliminate socialization skills and playing with other children. But, I know families that home-school, and the children are just fine! They have closer family relationships. ;-D

I buy a pack of ground beef and a loaf of bread and make my own burgers at home....with all the fixin's!

Sick world we live in, God gave Adam Eve, not a robot or a phone...this technology is bad, getting out of hand

I do not say good morning when out for a walk (saying good morning will trigger and bring repress, painful memories into my conscious)!

Common sense is not that common anymore because it pairs well with CRITICAL THINKING. Nowadays, most are completely brainwashed by all things mainstream and they don't even realize this. They have SLOWLY had their ability TO critically think eroded to the point that most ONLY REACT, instead of stepping out of their indoctrination to actually think critically. Technology has played a massive part in this because everyone is a so-called expert when they can "google it" on their personal GPS tracking device, that has internet, that is invisibly chained to their wrist all day. But, and this is the kicker, those who CEASE to critically think will rely on those "google" results as 100% TRUTH....and we know, or we SHOULD know, that most of the actual truths have been suppressed on purpose, search results purposely skewed to fit a certain narrative and so on. So now we have a plague of people so far brainwashed...without knowing it, but, also, these same people are SO SURE of themselves as well. And, to counter the statement in the question posed by Natalia...if you think "Very smart people who spend a lot of time by themselves might seem to lack common sense"...then your perception of WHOM is "very smart" is way off because those who SEEM "very smart" to the general populace, are just the ones who are best at memorizing their brainwashing and regurgitating it on command. As for myself, I am highly intellectual and DO NOT CARE to be around most people in society BECAUSE I use common sense and possess keen critical thinking ability and discernment. This comes with years of experience, observation and the one thing most lack....PATIENCE.

For me, it's the other way around. Asking your partner to share their location is the red flag. It shows either mistrust, or jealousy. It's borderline stalking to have to know where your significant other is at all times.

I get a little furious the way some family members use the incorrect bins provided. I'm sure it's just laziness or couldn't careless attitude. Also a recycling/materials site would come in handy for rubbish your not sure about.

Our definition of romance, is quite removed from the younger generations definition, perhaps the question should be: is social media killing personal connections?

Easy TRUMP FREE DAY. everyday he opens his mouth all we get is garbage. What next. Now he wants to change the name of the Persian Gulf. Now he wants to change names what about New Mexico seeing he wants the Gulf of Mexico changed.

To each it's own. Stop judging others because they like jewelry. You might think it makes a person ugly, but did you ever consider they like and love the way they look. The problem here you call these people ugly and judging them. Theres enough hate in the world and thats because some people judge other and forbid that they might be diferrent.

I refuse to own any so called 'Smart' anything in my home. If it talks, moves, or thinks on it's own, there's no way it will ever be owned by me. I have a 'Smart' brain, 2 arms and 2 legs, and I choose to use them and do everything myself! ;-D

I have found that here in ACT nothing is free BUT I had dental work done at 'pensioner' rates and it was NOT expensive...I was able to afford the work and due to being on a govt pension I was able to get top and bottom dentures for $350:00

1. Yes; 2. Yes; 3. Yes; 4. Yes! Password protect your bank accounts, freeze you credit accounts, put fraud alerts on your credit reports, and ignore unknown phone calls! ;-D

Of course it does. it can lead to neglect, wsexual, physical and mental abuse. Of course things like alcohol and drugs don't help do they? We have an increasing problem in which children, some as young as 9 years old, are roaming the streets late at night committing crimes, being arrested and then the bleeding hearts come out and accuse the Police and all but those responsible for the problem! The Police and othes are so scared of being accused of racism that they dare not ask the Most Important Question of All. Where are the Parents whilst their children are running amok? I'll tell you where they are. They are at home blind drunk or drugged, both are mental health issues.

I guess we all think that way at some stage in life. We have not moved mountains so we think we have not achieved success however success is not based on what we have not done. Success is being happy. Success is confidence. Success is raising healthy kids. Success is much more than being top of the class. Success is getting through life in one piece and so much more.

Because their money is paid into an account it is only a number. They never actually see the cash as in the old days when your pay was in an envelope and you could see it!!

Neither of our children communicate with us, so they won\u2019t be inheriting what they think they are \u201centitled\u201d to inherit.

It is amazing how money wasting the western people are. Christmas is not about stockings or wasting money. BUT to each his own.

I think college, trades, and university will become a thing of the past - when AI reaches its full potential. I think going into the military for twenty years and getting a livable pension will become the norm - as their will be more wars over dwindling natural resources and ever-increasing population. Also, becoming a police officer will become your second mandatory option for twenty years which will give you another livable pension - crowd control will become an issue as the fight for dwindling natural resources will become more intensified with an ever-increasing population. The not-so-distant future will be a dark and ugly place for the overwhelming majority of people - not because of AI - but because humans are incapable of learning from our past mistakes and our luck as a specie will finally RUN OUT!

I recommend The Clan of the Cave Bear. It is about early man and the struggle to survive. Written by Jean Auel. There is about 5 books in the series. Not to be missed.

The school system and newly trained teachers have a lot to answer for. Teach your own kids the truth and have discussions.

Meet my newly adopted dog, Panda! I'm going to pick him up after I log out. We think he's dachshund and terrier mix. He is a tiny little guy, but way overweight, so I'll be working on getting it down. Panda is 7, and will be a great companion for both Sadie, my toy poodle who is 12 1/2, and myself! ;-D

oh rewardia, why does the scramble puzzle not recognise words that are in the dictionary but give us stupid slang words that do not make sense half the time.

cannabis is bad for you and you should not use it as it is an evil drug, you will go mad and loose your mind and destroy your health...now i get it from the doctor as medicine...the times they are a changing

Believe me, they have a cure. They just don't want us to have it. It is a multi billion dollar cash fall for pharmaceutical companies. They would lose it all, if it was cured

I had to except the fact that I had a Stroke. At age 39 I Stroked as my daughters and I were getting ready for the day. My daughers were only 12yrs and 7yrs old at the time. It did not happen right away, I was very angry, I spent 2 months in the Rehab Hospital. Every1 I knew except for 1 person avoided me like the plaque. After many years I finally gave in and excepted that I had Stroked, Im now a totally different person, but it took quite a few years for me to be where I am now. They do not know why I stroked, but I truly beleive that it saved my life. Without getting to much in to it, I was drinking all the time, getting into fights etc. I am now though a much happier person. I am now 62yrs old, and I do not think I would of made it this long if I was the same person I was right after I got out of rehab.

Speak to a lawyer you have rights also and are entitled to see your daughter and also a share of assets.

Books should never be banned. However, some books should not be allowed in public schools for minors. Adults should have access to all books.

Make them clean up the mess and pay for all costs no slaps on the wrists and bail or 'public service duties' - then jail them for a year. They need to learn respect.

I remember living in a wonderful world where everything was just perfect the way it was..NOW it's all gone down the shoot! I'm not saying change is not good but it'd just become ridiculous and sad..

I tend to give them what they want. I've successfully completed surveys in languages that I don't even speak.

Australia seems to be importing the people nobody wants, even their own country. They come here for a better life but want to change Australia to the shit-hole they came from.

Currently travelling round Aus in a camper can. Was a bucket list item for years. Another is to live in Japan for at least 6 months. Maybe next year?

It is of course your right to smoke or vape, but do bear in mind that others don't like the smell, so it's best to do it where it won't bother others.

Haven't felt the need to play as yet. Can remember accompanying my grandma as a teenager quite a few years ago. Boy those old girls would kill to win! All for the prize of a tin of peaches or a packet of biscuits.

I am ambidextrous. I was forced while in school to choose either one not both. This was hard for me growing up, yet through the years, I grew up I would practice with both hands, while not in school. So glad I never let these teachers stumble me into only using one hand. \ud83d\ude01

That why our generation behave themselves (baby boomers)because we knew we would get a clip behind the ear. But in this PC world you can do this know so I blame the younger generation for this. If they kick the back of my seat I would turn around and say if you keep this up I will brake your legs. If they are front with a reclining seat I would tip reclining seat saying I was getting up accidents happen Nd with rubbish I would throw my rubbish on them. You may get it I am not PC and I will call a spade a spade and don't care who I may offend. Not one should have to put up with that kind behaviour.

Personally I wouldn't give kids man made chemicals to sort out a natural chemical imbalance they already have thats been diagnosed. I think it would lead to problems later down the track being on drugs from an early age. 40 or 50 years ago you didn't here about adhd or autism until someone unleashed it on the world, now everything a kid does that we used to do as kids is labeled. Maybe they should look at the food that is consumed by the kids as to the causes of their labeled diagnosis.

First thing , to become rich is to put some of one's own income away ( save it) also known as the long way. Second thing , borrowing someone else's money is a quick way of becoming in debt, once you are in debt , in is near impossible to become rich. Borrowing more money, and investing it, is no guarantee of getting out of the original debt , and becoming rich. It may end up worse off and owing more debt. Remember this simple philosophy : If one can keep a roof over one's head ( rent/ mortgage), pay one's utilities ( electricity/ gas/ phone/ water etc) ,if one can feed and clothe one's self, then one is rich! Thankyou for listening to my Ted talk. Have a wonderful day. \u270c\ufe0f

I believe you can be "in love" with one person and still love another but there is a difference between being "in love" and loving!!

A Joyful Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all Rewardia Members & Staff...Let usnot forget amidst the gaeity that Jesus is the Center of it all

I think it is amazing how many parents are not prepared to be parents and want other people to work for them. More and more areas. Maybe parents who want this should give their children away to someone who will care for them 100 %. BTW we in Australia dont get paid or work the hours in Japan or other countries. PARENTS are 100% responsible for their children. THIS IS FACT and anyone who get 'offended' can just ignore this comment.

Instead of putting these offenders in jail I would place them in the Army. Then maybe they might get the right discipline that their parents were not able to give them.

Wouldn't you rather be 40 single with no unwanted obligations because you haven't met the right person? or 40 and single after having to get out of a relationship with the wrong person and responsibilities that need to be sorted out? When and if you are ready - until then take your time and enjoy your life.

"Change" is too wide a category. Some changes are good, some changes are bad, and some are just ridiculously silly.

They may or may not be nice people, but let's face it, they're famous for being famous. None of them has achieved very much apart from looking good on camera & attracting a social media following. I don't wish them ill, but my disinterest in them is total.

Tipping at Starbucks? You\u2019ve got to be kidding. You are standing in a line to get a coffee. You are not receiving any service. Why would you leave a tip. My tip is for employees in the USA to stand up for their rights and fight for proper employee conditions and adequate remuneration.

It's quite common in boys, My son was the same. Except we didn't have those in that sizing back then so it was bed liners and washing each day . There is a nasal spray that can help to slow things down, but basically in most cases it's simply hormonal,( the hormone responsible for concentrating the urine overnight is less present than it should be) and you will find once the 12yr mark kicks in or soon after ,. It will just stop. It's very frustrating I do remember ,but it's important not to let your child feel like it's an issue, They can't help it, It's not from trauma and it's not going to help restricting drinks before bed either. There are plenty of tips online . Don't bother with the bell and pad system either,, all it does is wake the child up when they wet with an alarm and interrupts their sleep often twice a night, more! .. not worth it . As I say it will just miraculously stop once his hormones kick in . Hope that helps some :)

All current plastic produces can be made from Hemp that grows in 3-5 months and 100% degrades to nothing in 75 days

When I die please do not weep, for it's not me there, I do not sleep I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain, when you awake in morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in morning light, I am the starshine, soft at night. Please don't be sad and do not cry, for it's not me there, I will not die

Men who wear suits, business shoes and NO socks. What's that about? Apart from having putrid feet at the end of the day.

I liked the show on the ABC where they took the schoolchildren to visit the nursing homes. The people living there got so much out of it & the children also benefited from the intertactions.

For Christmas this year, my family all had covid and for thanksgiving, I had shingles. Thankfully we all recovered.

I once had a bottle of bourbon that was subject to a recall because of glass fragments...I carefully strained 3/4s of it then took the remainder and exchanged it for a full bottle...I was very happy...

HEAPS of jobs going age care crying out for help even supermarkets can't get staff there are heaps of jobs and the work force is tired of carrying the load for those that just don't want to work.

It is NOT the quality (chipped or cracked) of the kitchenware that counts, it is the quality of the food being served to you in a personal (or family) setting THAT counts! I appreciate the time it took to serve a well-cooked meal - not the appearance of the kitchenware - as long as the kitchenware is clean and safe to eat from - Bon Appetit :-))!

What a load of codswallop! ...... no such thing ...... Mother Nature will control the climate, not some 'nervous Nellies' who do not have a clue!

Try a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. It's not a disease for most people and they should stop wasting doctors' time and medical resources that are needed by people who genuinely need them.

And this is the difference between men and women. Men...simple. Women...complex. Why? Women NEED to create drama to do ANYTHING but be a traditional woman who wants a husband, kids, etc. and NOT have a high body count in their mid 30s, be lonely, used up and own 10 cats. Men just want peace, a family, and reciprocated love.

Not cut off, but I make no effort to see them anymore. I\u2019m still \u2018nice\u2019 to my MIL, but I no longer let her manipulate me after 16 years of letting things slide and just sucking it up. The final straw was when she screamed at me in a restaurant because I suggested, after three bottles of wine, that she might want to slow down a bit. She told me I was a terrible wife to her son and definitely not her \u2018cup of tea.\u2019 He sided with her, so the next day when she sobered up and admitted, \u201cI think I might have overreacted last night,\u201d I told her I\u2019d no longer do anything extra but would still be polite\u2014because that\u2019s who I am. I stopped doing all the little things, like buying birthday and Christmas gifts or reminding her son to call her for special occasions. Now she\u2019s realising her \u2018little prince\u2019 doesn\u2019t remember anything on his own. He got put on notice, too, but that\u2019s another story.

This is an easy one. Because I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, after I awaken and freshen up, the first activity of every day for me is to read the Bible. That makes me a morning person.

I spent many years working as a Palliative Care nurse and in Aged Care situations as an RN. Assisted suicide is a normal part of end of life care for some and terminal sedation is a practice that has been practised for many years. I remember an incident in a public hospital I worked in, and we were warned not to discuss it, but it was more than a decade ago. An elderly man had very bad frontal lobe or Dewy Body Dementia. He was being cared for at home because he had been previously admitted to other Nursing homes in and around this area, but due to him flinging his fists around and utterly refusing personal care because he no longer understood what these strangers were doing to him, his physical health was suffering and they wouldn't have him back again. He wasn't getting nutrition, hydration and as he was doubly incontinent he was getting bad excoriation on his privates and the pain from this was causing more negative behaviour. He would refuse tablets and spit them out if the nurse DID manage to get them in his mouth and consequently he wasn't even getting the antipsychotics and calmatives he needed so he could recieve adequate care. So we have a human being who is just a mere shell of who he was, and that was an absolute creep as we remembered him from long ago, who's family could no longer cope, were out of resources and had ZERO other options for care. So the decision was made with his specialists, local GP and family to bring him into the hospital for terminal sedation. We were NOT obliged to care for him and we had the option to refuse to give the medication that would take him away from this earthly plane of existence. From my recollection it took about 72 hours for his heart to stop. He hadn't been the man he was for some time and his family had already grieved that loss some time ago. All there was now was relief and thankfulness that neither would suffer any longer. I'd be interested if anybody has a suggestion as to how THEY might have managed this situation if THEY had been this man's family. I suffer pain all the time and sometimes it's so bad that I wish it was all over. Nobody has the right to tell me that my suffering isn't bad enough to warrant me thinking of a permanent way out. I take painkillers but you become used to them after some time and the efficacy reduces. But people should be able to choose to end their lives on their own terms and we show animals that kindness. Why NOT humans who are suffering?

My issues (in NZ) are: Why is pork from Poland? And beef from Australia? Am I paying for the air in chippie packets because there seems to be more of that than chippies? When I used to dunk my gingernuts (get your smutty minds out of the gutter) they were wholesome dunks in my cups of tea. Now it's a petite holding of the biscuit. And expect prices to rise...again. Trucks will pay more for fuel to supply goods thanks to a certain person..... and once again the consumer pays.

I don't see answering surveys as a cure for boredom. It's just about the most boring thing I can think of.

In my household growing up, the worse swear words were either "bloody" or "bastard" and I never swore back then. Since this useless Government came into power, my swearing started and has escalated and is now quite blue...... not going to give that up!

Absolutely Not! I get up when I want, go to bed when I want, eat what I want whenever I want, go where I want with whomever I want, and stay as long as I want. I do what I want with no time frame! What's boring about that? \ud83e\udd14 Yes, it is all about me, finally! \ud83d\ude02

That you can accomplish more than you originally thought possible when you commit to it and try your best.

We have found a few insurance companies renew policy's without instructions to do so. My concern is that they used an expired credit card and I have no idea how they managed that because not only would the expiry date have changed but another number of 3 digits would have changed also so your bank should have declined it. If it were me my first call would be to my bank to ask why they had approved the transaction, my second call would be to the Ombudsman because it isn't on. All the best.
