    No Bake Chocolate Nut Balls

    Hubby can’t resist chocolate & would probably finish off a full tin of condensed milk also, if I let him! However he does not enjoy (actually detests) desiccated coconut, so for Christmas I might try replacing coconut with chocolate sprinkles. Thanks for the recipe Suzanne rose, it’s so simple.

    No Bake Chocolate Nut Balls

    I’m not sure how or why you are having trouble printing but my suggestion is - do a ‘COPY’ function by highlighting the whole article or recipe starting at the outside of the first word and, with the cursor still pressed, drag it to the outside of the last word at the bottom, and release the...

    Supplement that landed Sydney woman in hospital—and why you need to be extra careful

    Try exercising, even just at a slow pace and gradually increasing, instead of taking in un-tried and un-tested pills and potions. And stop gaining the weight well before it becomes ‘too late’. That will help. Admittedly some people are prone to weight gain through no fault of their own or by...

    Shopping center safety under scrutiny as weapon violence sparks community concerns

    Are ALL of them migrants?? You do not know that, neither do I or ANY single member on this site. They could very well be Australian born (& ??bred??) perhaps with parents who did not bring them up with respect for others, or by parents who couldn’t care less where their children go after school...

    Here's the footpath problem everyone is ignoring—and seniors like you are at risk

    Perhaps, but then he would be able to sue for injury etc. as well as for not looking at where they are going and ‘with intent to injure’ maybe. It is just courteous to watch where and what you are doing IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS IN A PUBLIC SPACE especially when you are in a country that uses...

    Here's the footpath problem everyone is ignoring—and seniors like you are at risk

    Same with drivers who can’t be bothered staying behind you when you are doing the speed limit; seems they just have to go past and into the other lane. I’m always saying “what’s the hurry, leave earlier if you have to get somewhere”.

    Here's the footpath problem everyone is ignoring—and seniors like you are at risk

    My husband insists on pulling me out of the way of people (mainly in shopping centres) when they walk ‘head and eyes down’ and are using their mobile phones. And I keep telling him “I’m not moving out of their way, I’m just going to stop here and if they bump into me or knock me down they’ll...

    Wonderful idea Rod, Congratulations. We haven’t been on a long road trip for ages but will know what those reflectors mean next time we go away.

    Free no more! Why everyday aged care support could now drain your savings

    meanfreddy - I am 100% sure both your’s and your wife’s savings are taken into consideration when applying for the pension and that is why you only get a small amount - between both of you you most probably have close to the cut-off amount in cash/superannuation savings which is in the region of...

    Free no more! Why everyday aged care support could now drain your savings

    Absolutely agree. Too many providers ripping off the system. My brother had a son with Angelman’s syndrome (check out the symptoms which are many and varied per person). He never spoke a word in his 26 years of life, had to wear nappies all his life, had a spine at 45 degree angle at time of...
