I worked in the medical field for 42 years, 23 years as a nurse and 19 years as a specialist medical secretary, so I know a bit about how this all works. I worked for a GP for two years, while also working for an orthopaedic surgeon. In my experience, reception staff do all the billing for...

Scammers know that basically, most people are greedy, and that's what they feed off. I've seen documentaries made by former con men, and they don't feel guilty at all. They justify their actions by saying that if their mark wasn't greedy, he/she wouldn't have been able to be scammed.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your reply.

Thank you so much Jen. Hubby and I have a wonderful adopted son who's 47 years old. He's been married for 17 years to our lovely daughter in law. They've given us our adored grandchildren, 14 and 15. It was hard to go through at the time, but it's made me both strong and empathetic, so it was...

I would have thought the clue was in the name: FOOTpath. Say what you like, ebikes are dangerous. Elderly people knocked over by these things in many cases are unable to get to their feet without help. While there is usually help available, it does something to your soul to have to rely on...

I was lucky?? to be born with two completely separate uteruses (uteri?). From the age of 12, I suffered severe period pain every four weeks, with both uteruses contracting together. It was the 50s, so knowledge of endometriosis and parental sympathy were both in very short supply. I was sent...

Sorry, but how is Trump relevant to this topic? Most people wish to have something else to think about other than him. I will say though, that if any politician would call this out for the nonsense it is, Trump would be the man.

Exactly. It's laughable. The problem is, the morons who come up with this drivel will never see how laughable it is.

Sorry, but are you reading this thread properly? The same goes for those liking your comment. I replied to a comment by MacMan, agreeing with what he said and adding some thoughts of my own. mylittletibbies answered my comment with rudeness and sarcasm. I replied with respect for her point of...

I never at any time said I don't get my information from the internet. I subscribe to several international news services, some European, others American. These news services are independent. Case in point: When Trump was serving his first term as president, he was accused of using Russian...

So a mother is a 'person who gave birth to the child'. As an adoptee, where does that leave me? The woman I called Mum for 62 years wasn't my mother according to this dill. To make matters worse, my only child is adopted, so I guess, having not given birth to him, I'm not his mother. Do these...

It occurs to me that Labor may well be shooting itself in the foot with this importation of Muslim migrants. If Fatima Payman has anything to do with things, there'll be a Muslim Party up and running, if not this election, certainly the next one. Albanese is totally unable to see past the end...

Thank you. There's a 24 year age gap!

I'm guessing he was the father of Michael Hagan. Michael played for the mighty Newcastle Knights in the early days and was the coach of the team when we won the premiership in 2001.
