No need to give up completely - my doctor says 2 or 3 bananas a week is fine, just not daily since putting me in BP meds

All common sense advice! But most planes are simply far too crowded and too big. The seats, leg room and aisles are getting narrower as humans get bigger. It makes no sense at any time but even less since the pandemic - which won't be our last as we're often warned with people FLYING (!!) all...

My darling late husband did just that! Bought me a massive book I wanted on world architecture (310 x 450 x 55mm & weighs about 8kgs) and put legs on it because he thought that was what coffee table book meant 🤣

Oh no! What is the world coming to? I know! Everyone will start stockpiling chocolate like they did loo paper 🤣🤣🤣

More patience ! With myself as well as others 🤣

Yes indeed! Hard to pick a favourite there too! Guinness? Cauliflower? Thai? Chicken & mushroom? Dang! I am getting in the car now!!

I agree! My daughter buys it & keeps telling me how wonderful it is but I don't agree. I will stick to my usual brand.

Indeed! And the head of the bloody reserve bank gets paid (I refuse to say he earns!) more than our prime minister ! How cruel and hypocritical to criticise Aussies who just want to not be scrapping the bottom of the barrel every week!

One of my kids choked on a bit of ice which was supposedly to be safer than letting her have iceblocks - and another on an innocent little pink Pascal's marshmallow !! True ! Maybe all the panic merchants would like to ban all food and liquid ?

But there always seem to be tons of little corner units etc for sale on marketplace & cane ones will work well too. I WAS contemplating buying a tree this year .... having finally donated the 20 year old one to Vinnies a few months ago because the 6' tree takes over my lounge room BUT I do have...

And that 'stop living in the past' attitude is precisely why wars continue to happen, isn't it? As Winston Churchill said in a 1948 speech to the House of Commons in Britain: "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it" (paraphasing George Santayana) and here we go again...

Oh for heaven's sake! How do so many people not know the LAWS governing residential rentals - for tenants, landlords & real estate managers? I am a landlord myself & assure you that it is never up to individual landlords (or ill-educated agents) to determine how people live (including whether...

Personally speaking - and I fly a lot both domestically & internationally (or rather I did before the pandemic) - I would love to see no food or drink on any flight under 4 hours duration. It is transport - not a bloody restaurant! We don't need to be eating & drinking constantly. Even on long...

Once I can understand but to keep going back and trying again? That is the same as gambling really ........ you take the risk trying to get rich quick, you have to be prepared for losses. Doing anything which is risky (like bitcoin is!) is simply asking for problems IMHO. When will people pay...

I love freaking overseas friends & relatives out because my daughter is a vet nurse who specialises in neonatal care of Australian wildlife. She is an expert on hand-raising possums (these 3 are just my favourites) and she is a real wizard with birds 😁 We regularly have kookaburras, galahs &...
