Glenys R, so sorry to hear your furbabies have passed on. Two of my 3 felines (19 year old moggies) died while I was in the acute stroke ward last year. My third girl is a Maine Coone kitten I inherited from a young man who discovered it was more work than he'd anticipated. She is already 4...

Okay, while I sympathize, to a degree, with the guy, we need to first take a step back. For one thing, he is not shopping for his meal that night (fried rice), and his dog's food which alone cost $17.00. Do I begrudge the dog the food? Nope. But if you have a pet, you need to be able to afford...

I've been a member of various loyalty programs for decades, and have never encountered any problems as a result, and certainly nothing that violates my privacy. I don't have to sign my life away, and you don't give them credit card or bank details, and you don't have to give them drivers'...

Don't get me started on Kogan. I purchased a late model Sunbeam stand mixer from them a couple of years ago, but the wretched thing wouldn't even turn on. I tried contacting Kogan who dithered and hemmed and hawed until I lost patience with them. I rang Sunbeam on their Customer Contact number...

Wow! Fancy Telstra not making the list! I expected them to not only BE on the list, but to TOP the list! Jess

Here in Canberra, we can post a birthday card to a friend on the other side of town, and that card will first go to a sorting centre, then it goes to Sydney and another sorting centre, then it comes back to the sorting centre in Canberra, and if you're lucky, the birthday girl will get the card...

33% of respondents are shying away from costly protein bars and shakes? I think they must have only chosen Gen z and Gen Alpha respondents!

Fair enough, but a good communicator always remembers that they are writing for their audience, not themself. As such, a good communicator would not just copy and paste an American or British recipe (note the correct, global, spelling of that word, too, please) for an Aussie or NZ audience. They...

The article is rather misleading. It states that: The quick fix worked wonders–the following month, the family’s electricity bill was back down to $198, resulting in an impressive $350 savings. Well now, the previous bill was for $513.04. Note that the consumer had $40 more than that in...

Yep. I first found it shortly before my mum died - and that was almost 12 years ago! She was terminally ill, and her appetite was almost non-existent, but she had a hankering for a baked custard. I wanted to make something that would be so tasty she would eat all of her serve, rather than just...

This recipe is one of Taste's most popular desert recipes. I also use various berries to top the panna cotta, and I sieve the compote when using fresh berries to remove any seeds (just in case I have elderly guests to dinner and on the offchance that they may have a denture). Anyway, you can...

Clearly, ALL of us do notknow the guilty feeling of walking past a heap of jumbled ironing! I grew up folding laundry straight off the clothes line - everything was folded. The stuff that could be put away immediately was put away immediately; and the items that needed ironing were ironed the...

The media are at their utterly disgusting best. So what if the accused was once involved with Julia Gillard? So bloody what - excuse my French. I swear to God, if I ever win the Lotto, I am going to start my own PI business, and I am going to make it my business to hunt down all the dirt on the...

I have to disagree. When someone who is clearly a stranger to the facts, starts ranting at me and telling me what I can and can't do, then I consider them - if not mean-minded, then certainly small-minded and close-minded. Your comments have shown quite clearly that you really are ignorant of...

Something needs to be cleared up. The Crown Estate is the name given to lands owned by the Crown from the time of the Norman Conquest. The Crown Estate is a diverse, independently-run, commercial business, whose profits go to the Treasury (the public purse) - and those profits are used as the...

I am serious. And I make excuses for no one - not even the mean-minded folk who make me ashamed to be an Australian (or even a human being, for that matter).

Wow. So much vitriol. No wonder I am opposed to the idea of a Republic. As demonstrated by so many of our citizens in this group, we are nowhere near mature enough to go it alone. Whoever would become our head of state would be chosen by a policial party. Agendas and egos would control this...

Actually, I don't watch him - haven't done so for some years now. And I am entitled to my opinion. If you don't like it - just skim on by!

Razor-sharp wit? Larry Emdur? Who wrote this drivel? Clearly someone with a pretty sad sense of humor if they find this idiot so funny they are 'left rolling on the floor.' Why are we being served up this rubbish?

Journaling is very popular, and requires a 'blank' journal for the user to insert content to. So I have no idea how you can say a journal with blank pages is false, misleading and illegal. People buy the journal precisely because it is empty so that they can personalise it!
