When my 3rd grand child was born, the day before delivery, my daughter in law said, no visitors except dad so she has time to "bond". I wasn't upset, just wondered how a visitor can disrupt bonding time. Anyhow, the story changed on the birth of their second child. And ... then it really...

Ahhhh ... TomAYtoes...TomARtoes Who gives a defacayshun

Nothing new in this. Neighbours did not stay off the air for long. Public outcry I think. There have been heaps of shows come and go over time. Don't know why it would be an issue.

I'm a cheese Twistie fan too. Don't buy them too often, but when I do I have to have my hands tied behind my back to stop munching them. That's why I don't buy them often.

My puppies don't need warm clothes. They have fur coats. Mind you, some dogs like them. My puppies' dad for one. He goes to the outfit box every morning to pick what he wants and takes it his human dad. Quite cute to see.

Naaaah. I'm happy to eat an apple.

E-scooters need policing ... big time. The selfish riders, usually don't wear helmets, don't follow road/path rules, think they are the bomb, and, must have a death wish. I don't mind sharing a footpath with cyclists and scooter riders, however, the same applies there as does on the road...

I still see the corrugated iron, gun barrel houses that were put up after the war. They are tough as nails, and, a blessing for those who had no other options. I am so grateful to have a roof over my head and can only imagine what some folk are dealing with. Something needs to be done about the...

Cruise control is my friend. Although, I am diligent as far as road rules go, to the point of being accused of being overly cautious. My answer to that is, I am cautious because I don't own the roads. The other drivers out there should be on my radar as well. They don't necessarily rollow...

I went a step further. No back yard, just a deck with lots of pot plants. The dragon fruit plant is amazing. No front yard, just artificial turf with more pot plants. The carnivorous plant is thriving. I like watching things grow, but the gardening thing is something we put aside so we did not...

I think it comes down to greed. When the promise of quick returns are offered, some people just seem to be hypnotised by the reward to come. That is the focus of thought and no amount of caution can change their quest for get rich quick schemes. When my mother got to a certain age, she...

Ah yes. I remember the days of tramping up to the library and actually having to use my brain and power of physical exploration to access reference books. The Dewey Library system was my saviour for so many homework and essay commitments. Now, the www is the guide...not always without fault.

There are no answers. We can only be alert to the things our kids are accessing on-line. It is not so difficult. Perhaps some parents might consider it intrusive, but, what is worse...life in prison, or sitting the HSC? I also have a thing against the outrageous gaming genres out there that...

This is very much a Duuuuuh topic. You either clean, or you don't. Your choice. I am getting a little fed up with all these ëxperts". Cannot do better than vigilance and good old elbow grease.

I've got a better way. Remove before bedtime and soak in a cleaning solution. Brilliant result every time.
