I find most places pretty good. However, I am a conventional shopper. So, for me, the most attentive team currently is Priceline pharmacy followed by Bunnings. The worst of recent times was Harvey Norman. I could have shot a cannon in the store to see if anyone was awake. Some years ago, the...

Yeah. I'd like to be 5ft 8in .... that's not going to happen. Not the best question to ask an ego maniac.

Perhaps, however, if they travelled by air, a child seat is not a practical thing to include in the luggage. Holiday destinations should be ready to see to the needs of visitors and/or tourists. I think the problem with all of this carry on is more about how the restaurant handled the situation...

When I was reading this I was totally on the side of the restaurant except for one point. If the expectation is tell your child to sit and stay, there should be a child's seat provided. He is not a trained puppy. At that age a seat, with restraint, is essential. It's a holiday city and...

I think Nigella is Black Cumin. So much out there...don't know if I'm Cumin or going.

Give the bank desk jockeys the job of telling the kids ... no more tooth fairy, no more piggy bank, no more pocket money...and...then tell everyone ... no money at all when the system crashes.

I had a beautiful dog that was willed to me by my late sister. She didn't know her fur baby had a heart murmer and suffered fits. I was given the choice of medication, however, made it my business to do a full check of side effects. At the time, it was a fine line between certain side effects...

I have never fed Maggie's, cockies or kookas. We live near a reserve and see them all the time. Since we moved in here, there have been daily visits by native doves. We have no yard, but they seem to like our outside deck. It started off with Fred and Wilma. Then their juveniles, then Barney and...

I told my family years ago that I don't want a mum's day gift, or for that matter, any special occasion gift. I really don't need more stuff. So, every year, my lovely daughter-in-law puts on a nice breakfast at their home, and my granddaughter practices her calligraphy on a lovely card. Really...

Always little boys, until I wrap them in puff pastry and call them a tasty party treat.

We have held a modest amount of cash for years. Probably started because us baby boomers remember the days when we asked the question,.."how much for cash?"

I don't have to worry. For all the years as my late hubby's carer, the concept of superannuation was non-existent. So, no Super fund = no worries ... I guess.

I may be wrong, but I vaguely recall the introduction of high fives to replace hand clasps, hugs or other physical contact. After all, a high five is simply a clap. I can see no undercurrent message in the action. It is indeed a sad state of affairs to see that even the kindest action can be...

I remember the dramas they went through. Not only alcohol, but, also gambling issues. High roller stuff. We all have to deal with the highs and lows in our life. If he can't deal with what is going on, he can get his full time assistant to screen for him and make apologies. No good doing...

In my experience, some receptionists behave in negative ways because they simply don't want to be there. That's why I will never change from the GP I have at the moment, unless the sky falls in. He treats his team well, and, they all do their jobs with a smile. The receptionists co-ordinate...
