    Experts reveal simple tricks homeowners use to outsmart burglars amid break-in surge

    Our neighbours over the road have installed security cameras so good that they come on when we close our blinds lol. They pick up the slightest movement, like our garage door opening. I said to them it has saved us getting cameras installed. They miss nothing lol

    You’ve queued at post offices for decades—now they’re finally listening to your feedback

    We are also lucky to have great delivery people. Recently both our regular delivery man and the postie were both away for a few weeks. Their replacements were good too but the regular people came back at the same time and I said to them both that it was good having ‘the family’ back together...

    I need a miracle.

    Please dont feel like you are giving up by contacting Palliative care, they are there to help, as much or as little as you want/need. My friend is going through similar atm. She has chosen to inform all of her friends as to what she is going through. Everyone is rallying around her, it’s good to...

    Not so neighbourly: Complaint triggers unruly behaviour in high-end neighbourhood

    Again the victim has no rights. What is wrong with the police? Are they scared of him? The whole justice system is a joke. I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through.

    You raised your kids not to run with scissors...now teens are giving haircuts on trains

    On our journey home one day we watched a very muscly guy use the train as his personal gym. He was quite entertaining although I think his performance might have been to get the attention of a couple of young girl travellers, but he certainly got my attention lol

    Pet photo

    Pet photo This is a photo of my 8 yo Lab, Clancy. The vet took the photo of him after he had completed his acupuncture treatment for arthritis. He’s so much happier now and just wants to play. It’s like having him as a puppy again

    Car Dilemma: Can this tiny gadget add a layer of security for older Aussie drivers?

    I’m a bit confused. The other day we had an article saying there was no need to test older drivers as most accidents were involving younger drivers. This one states most accidents involve older drivers.

    Shoppers unknowingly spend more after surprising supermarket discovery

    I have my list and mostly stick with it. I’m a fast shopper, I don’t hang around. I rarely even notice the music. For a big shop I usually get a home delivery or a click and collect.

    Rats immune to poison, spreading disease—is this the next public health disaster?

    I’m going to have nightmares tonight. Thank goodness we don’t live in Sydney, I’d be a wreck. The other week my husband THOUGHT he saw mouse droppings in the garage - I went all McGiver - it cost me a fortune in Bunnings and no mice, thank the Lord

    Fatal Victorian crash that saw 91yo driver hit three pedestrians puts focus on elderly driver rules

    I agree testing everyone on renewing their licence would be expensive and pointless for most people. I recon maybe what might help is if they include a medical questions form when renewing that needs to be signed off by a doctor. All that would take is for the person to fill in the form and a...
