    Good News You Might Have Missed

    I do enjoy these snippets of good news. BP relief would be amazing for so many who suffer. I was particularly drawn to the lost treasures segment. Fascinating read. One has to ponder on the event that occurred to sink the city in such a way. I like this kind of stuff. Should have studied...

    Stamp collection marks century of history in unexpected way: 'We're honoured'

    Since Ford ceased production in Oz, it is not the same masthead in any way. Falcons, Econovans, Utes, Panel Vans, Mondeos, Focus ... all gone. If you don't drive an Explorer type vehicle, or a Mustang (only for those who can get out without a crane), you might as well not go into a showroom...

    Surprising bedroom solution helping millions of Australians with bladder leaks

    It's definitely worth the effort. I have been on the Scheme for years. Those payments certainly make the highly expensive disposal pants a little easier to bear. Thanks for putting it out there 7777.

    Surprising bedroom solution helping millions of Australians with bladder leaks

    I have suffered with incontinence since childhood. It was a deep and dark secret for many, many years. Also, I used to get a smack on the bottom if I wet my pants, so, I got very good at hiding the events. It wasn't until I was in my 50's, after lots of tests, specialists and scans was it...

    The I Dont Care Club

    I too am a colour lover. The best thing I ever did was embrace flouros. I have pink, yellow, and, green flouro shoes that I wear to co-ordinate with my clothes with splashes of those colours. Makes a statement even though that is not what I seek. I just like being me.

    The I Dont Care Club

    I have stopped trying to hide my hair loss. Most of my hair fell out when my brother, sister and husband were battling cancer. My darling man talked me into buying a wig. It looks OK, but, it is not me. What I came to realise is that most people are too busy worrying about their own lives to be...

    Don’t let them trick you! One retiree lost $140,000, but here’s how you can stay safe

    If it seems to good to be true, it is too good to be true. It seems that the quest for the holy grail of easy money over-rides the need for caution. I am at a loss.

    Are you paying too much for breakfast? Outrage erupts over shocking cafe prices!

    Hubby and I used to share a big breakfast quite often. It was more economical than buying 2 meals. You'd have to be pretty hungry to polish one off on your own.

    This woman is torn between a long-planned holiday vs her mother-in-law’s surgery. What would you do?

    If you have to, hire someone to keep an eye on her and ferry her about for post surgery appointments. If she is on Aged Care, they should be able to help. Go on your trip....life is short.

    Have you ever thought of retiring in the seas? Well, it might be more affordable for you

    My family would have a bugger of a time finding a park when they visit. Then...there are my 2 puppies. I'll stay home i think,

    Public toilets now need a secret key—yes, really

    I have experienced an issue with accessing a disability toilet in a shopping centre I'm not sure why this particular one had a lock, but I was wheeling my hubby in a fairly vast centre, and, when he had to go...he had to go. We were confronted with a sign saying, press the button and talk to the...

    Family reveals new details about famous star's dementia journey

    It's hard to believe that someone who was always out there and very, very pro-active can fall victim to this horrible illness. Doesn't matter who you are, how much money you have, how much love is around you, this bloody thing will get you if it wants. The last thing we wanted for my mum was to...

    Is this woman's behaviour a sign of love, or a red flag for a toxic friendship?

    This has all the hall marks of future stalker. The main thing in this situation is to protect the baby and mum. Someone who is so emotionally attached could easily turn to reactive behaviour. Not a good situation. One thing for certain. I would never ask her to babysit. Cut all ties, even if...
