    Midland Glass & Aluminium

    It's such an unusual place to post it. Perhaps the person thinks it will get more exposure on this forum.

    Is it good enough to eat? The reason being it's with the cooking/recipes.

    I agree that perhaps the marriage break down was due to her sleeping until 1pm everyday. If the sister claims she is that depressed that she can't look after her kids, then perhaps they need to live with their father.

    New Aged Care Shake-Up Keeps Seniors at Home – Lifeline or Letdown?

    Could be a carbon fibre walker as they are so light compared to the heavier $200 steel walkers.

    New Aged Care Shake-Up Keeps Seniors at Home – Lifeline or Letdown?

    That's shocking. Can they get meals on wheels delivered? Some elderly people I know buy frozen meals from the supermarket and add microwaved frozen vegies. My next door neighbour got a landscaper who charged $50/hr. Landscapers can come and do gardening and weeding. $200/hr seems a scam.

    Security guard chokes pensioner in hospital amid shocking safety claim

    I saw the video on the news also. I thought the man was being rather pompous and angry before the security incident. Not sure what special treatment he wanted before the incident, but being angry doesn't cut it in hospital situations. He had a nose cannula with medication being administered...

    He’s 52, on a scooter, and just nailed a wheelie—watch it to believe it!

    Well, instead she could have got a male dog to lift their leg on that sign. Would have saved the effort.

    Doesn't look like he really needs that motor scooter, but hey it's something different for a bit of fun.

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    Have you noticed how those produce bags have got so thin, they break/split? I rarely use them. Only if I forget my reusable produce bags.

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    I prefer Dyson for the same reason. They always have specials, and I've never paid full price. Free delivery on their website.

    Aussie mum cashes in with $1,000-a-month side hustle at Woolworths, Bunnings, and Costco

    I used to do mystery shopping with a couple of marketing companies for many years. Some of the jobs I disliked because the staff person really thought I was going to buy it eg. a car. I used to feel sorry for the sales people. I guess that's not the right attitude, but hey it was for me...

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    I like gadgets that are easy to use. This one gets lots of use, as it's adjustable for any jars, bottle tops, milk tops etc. You buy it anywhere really. I bought it at Kitchen warehouse for $20. It's stainless steel and Appetito brand.

    Queensland government announces more than half a billion dollars for homeless services

    Lots of tent cities. A number of them are NZ homeless people who can't get centrelink. Many are offered a free ticket back home, and some reject it. It's a sad state of affairs, but hope they find a solution for them, or they can find work for themselves.
