I feel sorry for the baby. Just imagine going to a school event with your "mother" & explaining to your mates that she is not your grandmother as would be expected with her age. How embarrassing!!

I wonder how many younger drivers have done the same thing but you fail to count them as dangerous to yourself.

Read the adjective I used - MOSTLY - not always. You are a lazy reader.

I did say MOSTLY used by lazy people & this would definitely not include those who are handicapped in any way from doing their own shopping.

Why should I choose to have someone else choose my groceries (& substitute out of stock items with things I might not ever use) in order to get this saving? I still have to drive to the WW store so I might as well get the exercise of walking around the store choosing my groceries. I consider...

I was recently charged $1 to have a wrap toasted at my local coffee shop. There was no sign anywhere advising the fee for toasting. I think that $1 is over-the-top & will definitely not get caught in that trap again. Just go back to getting my cup of coffee & eat my own sandwich.

And get yourself a compost bin to create your own compost so your garden improves. Then tell the council that you do not need that bin & DEMAND the charge be removed from your rates bill. I have made my own compost for many years now & my vegie garden benefits greatly from it & so does my...

When the recycle bins were first introduced ours was divided into 2 sections - 1 for paper, the other for glass, cans & other recyclable containers. What happened to this method of recycling? I used the bin then but now I can't be bothered with separating everything when I take my kitchen tidy...

Commonsense has been lost to the young generation. Of course you soak something that has food stuck to it. I do this with anything that has food stuck to it so that I don't have to scrub the pots & pans later. I wonder what the younger generation would do without Tik Tok & similar to find out...

I struggle sometimes to bath & clip my 2 "boys" but I would never let them out of my sight into the hands of a groomer I don't know. I know they can get restless when being clipped & I would not want them to be hurt by some careless groomer.

Not heartless, just a realist. Rules are there to be followed no matter how we might feel about them. This has been the way for generations. A few years ago in the industry I was in, a person had to be 36 weeks when she delivered her baby to get maternity leave. One of the staff delivered at...

This baby did not meet any of the criteria for Centrelink payment. He was under the required gestation being only 19 weeks & grossly underweight at just 230g of the required 400g. Looking at another side of this unfortunate situation, I believe it still applies that a stillborn/miscarriage...

A lot of over-the-top headlines here. Devastating battle with cancer? Why was his battle any more devastating than any other Aussie? Just because he was a footballer (never heard of him in that field either) we make it sound worse for him to have cancer than for any other Aussie.

Popular pollie? Never heard of him.

That might be a possibility for those who actually have a kerb to start with except that the area belongs to the council & you are not allowed to put anything on "their" property. They have even been known to order the removal of gardens planted on the nature strip in an effort to make the...
