    Would you sell your house just to help your kids buy theirs? Some senior Aussies already have

    Nobody helped my hubby and I when we were starting out. Mind you, we had a reasonably priced wedding, didn't care about a fancy honeymoon, watched every cent, and, worked hard to get forward step by step whilst living in a one room shed. We survived such an inconvenience. So many young folk...

    One woman’s unconventional battle with cancer could make you rethink your health choices

    My older sister was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She undertook treatment as the doctors directed, however, she also changed the way she was living. After some research, she decided to go on a Rainbow Diet. As the name suggests, she ate food that came under the colours of the rainbow...

    Cafe sparks buzz with unexpected money-saving trick using recycled trays

    Social media sookie lah lah's. It's not a case of being made to drink the coffee out of the holder. As the saying goes...necessity is the mother of invention. Good on them.

    This everyday act behind the wheel could cost you between $125 to $2,000—Depending on one detail

    Holy cow. I wouldn't know how to time a fraction of a second. Does this mean there was a police man perched on top of the billboard with a high speed camera ... I haven't heard of such a thing. Totally ridiculous. I hope you challenged that one.

    'I’m not going to serve you here': Here’s why Aussies are divided over this restaurant drama

    Only last night, my sister and I were talking about how we BEHAVED OURSELVES when in public. Mum had us totally under control. This new age thinking of letting your child be free and expressive is a load of twaddle. We were told, sit still and wait for your food to come ... we did. We were...

    Calls grow louder for the government to stop stalling on home care

    I was given this kind of information referring to level 4 by someone in Aged Care, not a provider. It's all about money and the way funds are allocated.

    Smack on her bottom is needed here. Break up or not, her first responsibility is to care for HER children. Tell the kids to keep hassling her until she gets up. The cafe is out of business.

    Stop throwing away $2500 a year! The truth about food labels every Australian needs to know

    I am a freezer devotee and have as much in there as I can. Use by dates are there because it is mandatory. Just got to use our common sense. You wouldn't eat fresh salmon that has been in the fridge for 2 weeks ... but ... you would if it was in the freezer.

    Kmart shopper lashes out at staff after unexpected question in store

    Bit of a *iss poor response. Shoes outside the store...Duuuuh!!! It would have been much easier for him to leave his work shoes on, then, someone in the store can look after cleaning. Storm in a teacup.

    Lets not overlook the good old fashioned sniff test.

    He ruled the track in the ’90s—now he’s fighting the battle of his life

    It's amazing when I ponder about this. This man got behind the wheel of a power machine so many times without giving a thought to what may happen to him if things go wrong. One has to wonder how such a vibrant personality can deal with the outfall of an injury caused by playing on the snow. AT...

    Calls grow louder for the government to stop stalling on home care

    I find it amazing that someone who is critically ill does not affect the outcome of cases. You, being familiar with the system, must be finding it even more difficult to wrap your head around the pitfalls, and apparent lack of empathy one must face just to obtain adequate care and support. Your...

    Family woken by rooftop break-in, raising fresh home security fears

    If I could translate puppy talk, my Bonnie & Clyde would be saying.....SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH...SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH...YAAAY. Just as well we haven't had any break ins, knock on wood. Mind you, they would be hard pressed to find anything lying around in my house. Mini Fort Knox protecting ...

    Esteemed Hollywood actor reveals plans for his future. Here's what's in store for his fans

    Not a big Costner fan, but I don't think he cares too much. Good on him for working while he can, and hopefully, loves it. This thread reminds me of George Burns. When he was nearing 100, this is what he said : "Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was...
