    Have you been scammed without even knowing it? The global ad fraud network behind scareware and fake alerts

    I'm feeling bombarded by SDC at the moment. I am a financial member and was under the assumption that ads are a no go for us. Suddenly, beginning today, every second paragraph has a bunch of ads inserted. Very annoying. Anyone else?

    'I will not stop': She wanted the world’s biggest lips—but even her doctor refused to go any further

    AKA Cat woman passed away in December 2024 of a pulmonary embolism. These usually result from a blood clot in the legs moving up to the lungs, or wherever. Who knows if all those years of cosmetic work had something to do with the way the blood is flowing through the body. She never admitted...

    A heartfelt gesture or boundary crossed? One wedding gift reignited an unresolved family divide.

    Classic, and, very funny. EVERYONE knows the rules when it comes to parking in that manner. I reckon they would be much more upset if they got the appropriate fine every time they did this. Got off easy I say.

    Hervey Bay dementia choir helping elderly manage their condition and socialise with others

    My darling mum would have loved something like this. She was so very sad through her illness. This would certainly have given her reason to smile. Great idea.

    Robin Williams Brought Back with AI? Mrs. Doubtfire Star’s Shocking Plan Leaves Fans—and His Daughter—Stunned

    No. No.. No Robin Williams was a unique performer that many might call a comedic giant. Holy cow!!!! Is nothing worth preserving and simply put in the library of special performers. I stop to think how I would feel if I turned on the TV and saw my late husband knowing that he is no longer here...

    Retiring overseas sounded like a dream—until a ‘trusted’ contact stole $1.9 million

    Greed is the trigger. Something for nothing. As the old saying goes ... If it seems too good to be true, it is not true.

    What to look for when choosing or replacing cooking utensils at home

    OMG. I can only wonder how us poor uninformed home makers managed to get through each day before experts emerged. It's a miracle.
