    Queensland is creating a public child sex offender register. Will it keep people safer?

    I would want to know if one of these monsters lived anywhere near my grandkids. I feel that anyone convicted of these crimes will never be truly trusted not to offend again. They are sick in the head. If they are convicted as a first offender it’s probably that it’s the first time they have been...

    The loneliness epidemic hiding in our suburbs (and the surprisingly simple cure)

    We have great neighbours, directly across the road and next door. We are always there for each other but also respect each others space. We rarely see other locals, I can walk my dog and not see anyone. When we do actually meet someone we always say hello and some will stop for a chat. I think...

    Scrolling on the toilet increases your risk of haemorrhoids, new study shows

    Why would you want to be in there any longer than you need to be. My phone stays far away from the toilet.

    She went in for a relaxing massage but left traumatised—read this before your next appointment

    I’m never truely comfortable with massages where I remove my clothing. I don’t get any benefit from it as it just stresses me out. I’ve had shiatsu massages that I have fully enjoyed but the whole oils and candle stuff just isn’t for me. This poor lady, she has done the right thing reporting to...

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    I honestly can’t see an end to all this violence. It’s gone too far. The stupid bail laws are a joke. These thugs shed a few tears in court and the judges give them a hug and send them home just to do the same crime that night! In some cases the parents are at their wits end to control their...

    My profile on FaceBook is locked. Only friends (and they are friends, people known to me personally, no randoms) can see any photos or information I share.

    We squeegie after every shower and I also wipe the shower down with my Shiney wipes. These cloths are amazing. The shower looks like new everyday

    Water cremation mishap raises questions about new funeral method

    This is the first time I’ve heard of water cremation. Not sure about it all. Maybe being relatively new the price and the actual process might improve I guess

    From pocket change to pricey: Soft drink costs hit new highs

    I drank coke for many years then Diet Coke for many more. Now I don’t drink soft drinks of any kind. Fizzy water is the closest I get. I can’t stand the taste of coke or Pepsi any more. They say your tastes change as you get older.

    GPs reveal why this hay fever season is worse than ever! Here is the simple step to shield yourself

    My hay fever improved when we moved areas. I still get the odd day where it flairs up, the Wattle irritates it, but where we used to live I had it from the wattle coming out to the end of November. If I go back to the old place it flairs up again, must be something in the air lol

    When your vacuum runs off on its own, chaos follows

    Mine locked its self in the bathroom. I could hear it banging and slamming around before I found it. It must have wandered in there and pushed the door shut behind its self. I didn’t have it for long, it couldn’t cope with the amount of hair my dog dropped - more trouble than it was worth...
