Absolutely true - if you cant work - its not exactly a bonus isnt it? So its not for all. If anything this policy is telling older Aussies - if you're old you still have to work. If you're on a scooter to get around - you still have to work to get some more pocket change. Disgusting policy.

I've ALWAYS disliked MISLEADING headlines. Makes me doubt the next headline I read. I hope SDC isnt looking at New Idea for inspiration

...."Now entering her twilight years,..." for goodness sake she's only in her 50's! To Me twilight years are when you are 85 ++ The best part of an relationship is the boyfriend/girlfriend stage - thats the romancing stage - when both parties look forward to each others company and doing things...

In general Roasts are supposed to be funny. I can appreciate this however, there are some jokes that are just so spiteful, rude and crude and those jokes should not have even been allowed. If the joke is mean and spiteful even though funny , it still should not be allowed. The guest may be...

So ---- whats the secret message? Message from whom? QE2 from the grave telling her to wear the Lovers Knot tiara? Message from the Kitchen - there's a cheesecake ready to take home to binge on? Yah - really secret !!

I think in the back of our minds we all feel the despair in the handling of the elderly in aged care. There are problems with 1)greedy owners who are in it only for the money. 2)lack and under-staffing because greedy owners refuse to pay more for quality 3)special interest groups, committees...

My husband is exactly the same. I used to tease him by telling him OK im going to count to 5 - 1,2,3...4...are you asleep yet? he sleeps so easily while I have a million things going on in my mind.

He is entertaining - in more ways than one.

Interesting reading. So many thoughts to this. Good for the mans honesty for returning the check but since it is a cheque and since it was cancelled, I would have just trashed it. There is no value to the cheque. The clerk would probably have just tore it up into pieces when they received the...

They can have all the bells and whistles on their products but if the price aint right - sorry - moving on.

Me too! It was just another "errand" to do - get christmas cards, get the addresses, get the stamps, sort out who get one who doesnt, who lives there, who has moved, etc and with the ones I receive, after 1-3 - 5 -10 years - what do I do with them? they all get trashed! I hate trashing items I...

A suggestion for supermarkets to assist vertically challenged people (or short people) I am under 5 ft - shortie - yes. I really hate it when I have to reach top shelves for items. It is so dangerous because I have to step on the bottom shelf to reach the top shelf for the item way in the...

Exactly. Totally agree. It is all part of life - whether its at your workplace or in your own home - we all have to do the easy bits and the yukky bits.

Dear Holly Merrie - you are a pretty young lady but that dress is just a NO on you.

Ladies - unless you are a size minus zero , please dont wear it. Most of us older women (not all) would not want a dress to emphasize our droopy boobs, 45 inch waist, and thick flabby arms. It always looks good on their 18yr old models.

Another day - another book -its all nothing but a big WHINEFEST. Whine whine whine.....poor little rich boy needs to be put in his place. This is how he honours his father, late mother and late grandparents who have been exemplary in their duty to their roles and country. This brat is a liar and...

I dont need to take the risk test. I live for the pension every fortnight. what comes in one minute and the next goes out to recurring monthly bills. nothing is left behind. My risk - 100%. IN and then out. In and then out.
