    You won’t believe the shocking message these elderly women found on their restaurant bill in New York

    Only in America! Disgusting. I trust that the normal American way of tipping was denied.

    Discover the surprising royal tradition Princess Kate won’t follow—Here’s why

    Hire it out to Donald Trump. It would feed his ego, and he would not be unwilling to contribute to its running costs, which would keep it safe as a national treasure.

    New scam outsmarts security measures—what every Aussie should know

    One thing to look for when you receive any email is whether it refers to you as an anonymous individual. In other words, if the email begins with "Hi" or uses part of your email address, for instance, "Hello MRChips," you can immediately become suspicious. A government email, if they used one...

    Got a dog? You might be required to spend time with them soon—here’s why

    What a great idea. My dog and I live alone, and he is my constant companion, and I am his in return. We probably spend about 23 hours a day with each other. Last week I was in the hospital for 3 days, but he was happy to stay with a friend of mine whom he knows well, so I guess that would need...

    $500 up for grabs? Here’s what the new cost-of-living boost could mean for you

    Is it made in Australia or the US? I will not buy anything major from a US source as a protest against Trump's recent activities.

    Can your payments disappear when you need them the most? One woman's experience may have the answer

    I think that Centerlink employees should have degrees in Medical Services, a Doctor of Medicine, Social Services, and Psychology before being employed as a door security person. It might help, who knows?

    You’ve likely held this kitchen tool before—but it’s no longer safe!

    Haha, funny, but I don't have a day job.

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    What a great article, guys. My congratulations. I suffer from all the issues you mentioned, but I generally manage to find ways around them. One thing I cannot fix, though, is carrying the vacuum cleaner up the stairs. No real problem carrying it (except for the blasted hose), I don't have any...

    The Death of Combustion Cars in Australia: Are Your Vehicle Choices Outdated? Discover What's Fueling the Dramatic Drop in Sales!

    The main issue for me with EVs is the recharge cycle. I sometimes visit friends who live interstate, which requires long-distance driving ( I take my dog with me), so it would be a bit nerve-wracking at times. Years ago, we could take some spare fuel in a Jerrycan, but I don't think that is...

    Feeling left out? This cheerful post box wants to talk to you

    I do feel that the intention here was genuine, but my mind is struggling to come to terms with the actual installations. Firstly, why would you use major centre locations where people would most likely just play with it as a gimmick os some sort. Surely, country locations where this type of...

    Telco hit with $100 million penalty over deals and questionable sales practices

    I fell out with Optus many millennials ago. Never liked their business procedures and would never consider them ever again.

    You’ve likely held this kitchen tool before—but it’s no longer safe!

    I did not know that IKEA sold Ford products. How do you buy a Ranger in a flat pack? They should really stick to furniture and stay away from food (especially near Ford) and kitchen products. Next, they will be selling clothes and cigarettes or boats and airplanes.

    Hair falling out.

    Went to see my GP the other day/ He said, "Haven't seen you for a while". I said, "I know, I've been sick". (Sorry, oldie but goodie.)
