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

    What a.joke. they expect people suffering from psychosis to turn up for an appointment. My ex husband had to be committed on several occasions. I would love to be a fly on the wall watching them trying to interview him. Firstly they would have to work out who they were talking to because any...

    Australia Post halts deliveries—wild reason will have you nodding!

    I know what you mean. My son.bought 120 acres just out of Grafton a couple of years ago where he and the kids (although they get driven to school, lol) are living a very self sufficient life style. Grow their own vegetables , fruit trees, have their own chooks, ducks, geese, turkeys all for...

    Naked woman bites, stabs, and terrifies travellers in airport meltdown

    Maybe. But not necessarily. She could be having a psychotic episode. You shouldn't be so quick to assume.

    Mum rallies locals to push for changes in her state: 'I think it would make a huge difference'

    Sorry but I'm afraid I agree with the other parents and teachers. Children need to be protected yes, but not to the extent where they don't actually know how to protect themselves when it comes time to go out into the big wide world Mummy can't always be there to protect them. My kids looked...

    Mum rallies locals to push for changes in her state: 'I think it would make a huge difference'

    I can never understand why my daughter in law and son insist in driving their three kids about 25 minutes to school and then pick them up every afternoon despite the fact thst the school bus can stop right outside their gate. They are all teenagers. Not little children. My daughter in law said...

    Sick of paying full price at the doctor? A short drive could save you!

    I am glad I live in WA. I have never had any problrm finding a bulk billing Dr. When my son and family moved to NSW they found it hard to even find a Dr who was taking new patients. For over a year they would have to go to a hospital if any of them got sick and my daughter in laws doctor...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    Yes, I put my children above myself. That doesn't mean that I haven't tried to teach them to stand on their own two feet. My youngest son has done very well for himself. He has a good job, a large property, three children he can be extremely proud of. Like everybody he has a mortgage, three...

    Australia Post halts deliveries—wild reason will have you nodding!

    I don't blame her. Many years ago my ex's family used to kill their own chooks. They had one hanging upside down on the clothes line (why???). I didn't notice it and spun the line around and got hit by this dead chook. I swear they probably heard me screaming in the next state.

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    I'm happy for you that your experience is so pleasant. I wish it had been the same for my parents. I guess all these places are different. My parents experience has soured me against them. My son is the same, always telling me he doesn't want my money, but with three very smart kids going...

    Australia Post halts deliveries—wild reason will have you nodding!

    Thank goodness I'm not the only crazy one. I have a phobia about anything that flaps. Moths, birds, chooks and also feathers. Love to go fishing, but I can't take the fish off the line, they flap. When I was a kid my Nan had a hat made of feathers. I wouldn't go near her if she wore it. She...

    Rental market shocks with $1100 weekly listing in major city apartment

    Anybody who pays that must have rocks on their head. The owner of that property should be ashamed of themselves. The rental situation in this country is deplorable. Anybody would think this was a third world country with so many people being forced to live in cars and on the street. We were...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    Sounds more Iike a prison. Locked in at 4pm. Unlocked at 7am. I prefer my own home $295 a fortnight covers my rates, water, electricity, gas and car insurance, after concessions. In my country town we have a heated pool ($25/year pensioner concession) bowling green, so many different activities...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    You are one of the lucky ones. My parents were in a church run retirement village many years ago. People who wanted to move on found they couldn't as there was not enough left over to purchase another place. My stepfather passed first a n d several years later my mother passed away. She had in...
