I cannot understand how tax cuts for the rich is a good thing and taking a little extra income from Pensioners is also a good thing. They don't seem to match up somehow. Interest rates dropping, deeming rates going up .... disappointing to see the Government sensitive to high incomers, see the...

There are assets and there is income. Assets is everything that is under Assets and there is estimated income from the money you have in the bank. Just because you maybe put your money in a non-interesting bearing account and get no income from it, the deeming rates will apply as if it is...

So sad. We used to watch his show when I was a kid. Little Patti and all the others.

80% of my clothes were bought second hand many years ago when eBay was a bargain place for clothes. Back in those days quality was so much better. I once went to Millers about 10 years ago and they had an end of winter sale. This was before my Hubby retired. I bought $255 worth of clothes for...

In my little town in North Queensland we used to have 6 banks. Now we have 3 and at least 2 of them only open from about 10 to 2. I wonder what will happen once they all close. While I am familiar with internet banking etc (Hubby is clueless so let's hope I die before he does) there are a lot of...

I got a phone call last week from the Fraud Squad about charges on my Card. They were going refund the money, cancel my Card and reissue one. I had to give them my Card Number for verification. I said we had two banks could they tell me which one Bank Card it was. No wouldn't tell me. Said it...

I've lost almost 20 kg since September last year. Not using pills, potions, or injections or a certain style of dieting like gluten free or low carb. I counted calories and weighed food for a couple of months and then decided I'd learned enough to know what to do to go it alone. I've lost most...

I live in a small town of about 13,000 in North Queensland. I became a pensioner in April. Years before I turned 67 I was bulk billed by my Doctor. He and several other Doctors have a joint practice. Pensioners get bulk billed and I wonder if all of us who get to be 60 and over get bulk billed...

I live at one of the beaches outside Ingham. We had 300 trucks go through late at night on the way north to resupply towns and Cairns which had no food coming in for 2 weeks. My husband and I have been flood bound and not able to go grocery shopping for 3 weeks. Yes, 3 weeks. Monday looks like...

We watched Tarzan with him in it. I remember the episode with the barrels of boiling oil.

We eat some vegan meals every week. When I say that I DON'T mean this overpriced super processed rubbish, I mean things like soup with no meat but lots of beans and lentils (which I make myself from scratch). All the fake vegan stuff half the time costs more than unprocessed cooked chicken and meat.

So many LEGENDS leaving us.

WELL SAID!

We've had a little break from the Royals and gotten on to something .... more interesting???? I think not!

Let's vote to have a WHOLE week without gossip about ANY Royal no matter who they are. Let's vote for articles that actually are of relevant interest to Seniors!
