  Don't get involved in message board rivalry
Posted by: Bob - 22-02-2020, 10:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (20)

Serious people, don't get involved in the silly game that some posters want to 'think' or 'create' that there is or should be a conspiracy around this board and the other one.

Some will use it to claim why certain things are said or happening........it isn't a freaking contest so don't buy into their dramas


These things never end well and threaten the existence of both boards.

Enjoy whatever board you want to post on for whatever reasons even if it's both

  The poor wee boy who is been bullied
Posted by: Angierose - 21-02-2020, 03:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (6)

Seeing the heartbreaking video of his mum showing his heartbreak of being bullied and wanting to end his life
I have a 14-year-old girl who has Aspergers and was bullied quite badly in her first year of school
was a horrible year with tears at being dropped off in the morning
She has some good friends at the school and this year shes happy confident positive
Whos at fault with the bullying??
Schools can only do so much and yes this school my girl went to was very supportive but isn't it up to the parents to teach compassion??
I strongly believe compassion is not taught/shown in some families 
so what can change to change this??

Where do you like to save your work.  Thinking that I should look at an alternative to Flickr where I have quite a few.  Preferably free.  I'm a fairly hard-up pensioner.

  Kogan Monitors.
Posted by: olwen - 20-02-2020, 09:24 PM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (5)

I've noticed this monitor on DIck Smith's site.  My ancient monitor (less than FHD) has a 1 pixel green line down it.  It looks like a good price especially with free shipping.  Would it be a mistake?

  Keto
Posted by: crafters_corner - 20-02-2020, 03:28 PM - Forum: Health & beauty - Replies (15)

Who is doing Keto?
How are you doing?
Easy or hard going?
Belong to any Keto groups?

Me, I'm mostly doing well, although yesterday and today, I have been a bit 'off' Keto eating. I had a very small binge of chocolate last night, and a bottle of "V" today, both of these being binge food from my past eating habits. But, it's out of my system now, and I'm good to go again.

I've lost 7.1kg in 4 weeks.
It's mostly easy going. I've not cooked so much in a long time. It's usually been pre packaged meals, and a heap of rubbish, but now I'm eating a heap of veges, eggs, meat, cheese, and drinking alot of water (I think that might be challenged over the winter months, as I'm not a natural water drinker, although I'm getting more used to it now).

I belong to a Keto group on FB, and they are awesome, and so encouraging. Heaps of recipes there.

I am in Ketosis, but not fat adapted yet. I'm looking forward to being able to fast.
I do need to get some exercise in now, so will start doing that soon. Youtube is great for finding plenty of easy exercise sessions.

It is great to have this new site to be able to carry on, although I realise that TM are keeping this topic alive....for now anyway.

Come on in and chat. We all have something to learn and share about Keto.

KETO ROCKS!!!

Hi there - as you might guess from my nick, cameras, particularly film cameras, are my particular interest. I try to use each camera I aquire, and also repair those which are showing their age. Does anyone else here share my interest?

  Trade Me Recipe Dump
Posted by: wholetruth - 19-02-2020, 10:32 PM - Forum: Recipes - Replies (14)

Will try and dump a load of recipes from the Trade Me forum before it vanishes, but to hold you over, here's one from hooksie60

Chocolate Cake
==========
"This recipe has been running on the board for years so it must be good 
I make this once a week makes a small roast pan size cake."

3.5 c flour
3.5 c sugar
3 t/s Baking powder
1.5 c cocoa
1 cup oil
2 cups milk
3 t/s baking soda
1 t/s salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of boiling water (added at end)


Put all ingredients (except for the water) in a large bowl mix well to a batter. add boiling water and mix till smooth bake in the over at 160 for 1hr. you can split the mix and make two smaller cakes or make 1 smaller cake and put the rest into muffin tins the choice is completely up to you. This is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very similar to mud cake.
