When do you think New Zealand will have 90% of its population fully vaccinated? You will need to factor in Maori, gang members, rough sleepers, people in prison, and anti-vaxxers etc into your answer.
Which do you think is the best answer?
(if in doubt choose one earliest possible option achievable in your opinion)

My unwelcome Thursday surprise🤨

Well, I sure as heck got a surprise when I turned on my computer today.

Well, I sure as heck got a surprise when I turned on my computer today.
One of my posts, a thought provoking post: “To bribe or not to bribe? That is the question” was culled and the comments were closed down.

I received the standard email from the powers that be, telling me of this and it was because of certain replies.

I went into see which replies had been culled, although I already knew deep down which ones and by whom, and sure enough it was a couple of the regular ‘players’ who had replied with either controversial replies or against the guidelines set down here by the powers that be.

I’m getting rather annoyed at having my posts shut down (as we all are) because people can’t behave, or reply without thought and consideration for the rest of us.

There are ways of getting your points and thoughts across with getting the smack on the back of the wrist from those above.

Those of us who start these thought provoking conversations, don’t post just for the sake of it, but to get the conversation flowing without anger, without name calling, without conspiracy theories, but more for friendly conversations, help, ideas and different ways of thinking.

We all know who the regulars are that get our posts closed down and I’m sure you know who you are and no, I’m not naming names, but can you please try to play nice and think of a different way of getting your points across without upsetting the apple cart.

We all want to stay here, we all don’t like the controversial restraints we are under on here, but we all choose to stay here and enjoy each other’s company.

Please, we have to play nice and obey the rules and guidelines set down, whether we like it not.

A Navy Master Chief's wife sends a text to the Master Chief saying, “Honey, don't forget to buy some bread when you come home from work and your girlfriend Valerie says hi.”

The Master Chief texted back, "Who's Valerie?!"

The wife answered, "Nobody, I just wanted you to answer and to have confirmation that you saw my text."

The Master Chief replied, "Oh ok, because I’m with Valerie right now, I thought you saw me!"

The wife, who is taken aback, texted, "What??! Where are you?!"

The Master Chief responded, "Near the grocery store."

The wife then texted, "Wait, I’m coming right now!"

About 10 minutes later, the Master Chief's wife sends a message stating, "I’m at the store, where are you?!"

The Master Chief replied, "I’m at work. Now that you’re at the store, don't forget to buy the bread!"

I have just joined a local Food Not Bombs group
(en.wikipedia.org...).

We collect surplus or donated food and cook and deliver free vegetarian or vegan meals for anyone who needs them.

I am seeking clean plastic containers - freezer, and preferably microwave, safe - for packaging the meals I cook. If you have a pile of them cluttering up your place, I would love to come and collect them! The ones you get your Indian or Thai takeaways in are ideal.

Also, if you know of any businesses who can donate food supplies, please let me know
