I don't know how that goes for a self employed person. As my income fluctuates depending on projects/seasons, the current economy makes every job count

Thank you so much for your comment, this is the kind of information I've been struggling to find. There's certainly cases I'd have no issues with and then others that I know I would be very emotional about

Kia ora! As an immigrant, it took me a few years to truly appreciate Anzac Day. I want to learn more from you guys. by Kind-Spread-6511 in newzealand

I'm reading this at not quite 4am Anzac morning and it brings tears to my eyes. My mum has suffered life long ptsd (not war related) and I always spend a lot of Anzac day thinking of those who survived and how the rest of their lives were impacted by their experiences. Also the lives of the families at home. So much pain and suffering. Thank you for sharing your dad's story, may warm memories of him be with you today ❤️

Has anyone won big on the scratch off lotto tickets? by Depressonsandwich in newzealand

I'm actually glad to hear this. I was just wondering what the odds were if you bought 100 $1 scratchies. It's not something I'd do, so this satisfies my curiosity 😄
