    This common Australian habit often grosses out tourists

    I guess that's the reason they don't go barefoot, they wouldn't know what they might tread on

    ALDI shopper bares moral dilemma—what would you do in her place?

    I agree with the person in the article who said that it can take some time for the payment to come out. I don't know why, but it happens. Give it a little more time, then sort it out if necessary.

    Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney's spontaneous stopover at fan-created mural celebrating his music

    You should have gone, it was WELL worth the price of the ticket. My friend and I from back in that era, and my two daughters went, and we all came away havine absolutely loved the show. His voice has matured, and he missed a couple of little bits, but the man is amazing - he stayed on stage...

    Exposing 'Australia's biggest scam': Why are baristas and cafes getting away with this?

    Interestingly, I read somewhere once that hot drinks actually help you cool down. The explanation at the time made sense, but I've slept several times since then, so don't remember now

    Thank you for that info. I will definitely be speaking to my doctor. I just did some further research and was horrified. Definitely want to get rid of them - they may be the cause of most of my problems. Thanks again.

    That's true, and sometimes you have to look carefully before you realise that it is actually an ad

    The heartwarming initiative that connects school kids and seniors to empower them with new technological skills

    I think this is a wonderful idea. I'm quite comfortable with computers - would be lost without it. BUT, I am falling behind with newer stuff until I have a need to know. Instead of me helping my kids like I did for a long time, now one of them helps me and my other daughter. That said, I'm...

    Are you at risk? Urgent recall announced for popular vitamin and home accessory

    Thank you for that information. I have been taking a B Complex tablet every day for quite some time now. I just checked mine and it has 25mg of B6. I think I'll stop taking it. It may be the reason I've developed peripheral neuropathy, which funnily enough is being treated with B12 shots...

    Yum easy apricots chicken

    This used to be as go to dish many years ago. But I used apricot juice and Cheese & Leek soup - no dressing. I haven't seen the packets of Cheese & Leek soup for a very long time. The French Onion is fine, but very different.

    Aussies’ uproar over Iced VoVo biscuits: ‘Boy was I disappointed’

    True, and there is absolutely no replacement for Lattice. I used to use them to make vanilla slices, but don't bother any more

    Could Diet Coke be silently harming your brain health? A new study raises concerns

    Except for Saxbys, they still tast really good. Maybe because they are a smaller company?

    ‘Boomer hour’? Age-exclusive shopping hours proposal generates ageism backlash

    I feel that there could be a lot of over-reation going on. I wouldn't mind a special time for "boomers" to shop, so I could avoid screaming kids, and running wild kids. However, they would probably make it at some ridiculous time like 8am as mentioned, or the 2pm on Tuesdays quiet hour. I...

    Butterscotch.

    I don't remember the packaging, but I do remember the butterscotch. It was like a chocolate where you would break off a piece - and it was so delicious. Seeing this article brought the taste back. It would have to be about 60 years ago (Yikes!)

    Rediscover the 140-year-old 'magical soap' that cleans almost anything

    It's excellent to take on holidays as it's small, and can be used for washing clothes or self, or whatever. Much better than packing washing powder

    Dispute erupts over 'gross' street scenes: Who's to blame for the mess?

    I don't blame you, as you are only allowed a certain amount. AND all they had to do was ask. I have one piece of rubbish to get rid of that's too big for the bin, and I've missed two chances of asking people in the area if I could add it to their pile.

    Ozzy Osbourne shares shocking health revelation in a recent interview: ‘It’s been absolute hell’

    I remember the Franklins now. I have 10 years on you and lived there until I got married in 1970. I lived in Orana Crescent which is near the golf course. When we first moved there when I was perhaps 3 or 4, it was bush down the road, then the tip which was great fun, and where Peakhurst...

    Ozzy Osbourne shares shocking health revelation in a recent interview: ‘It’s been absolute hell’

    Wow, another local to my old area. I lived at Peakhurst and caught the train each day to go to school at Kingsgrove, and then later to work in the city. Also attended ballroom dancing classes with Ted and Barbara Hilton and played tennis at the Millidge's (?) courts. I don't remember a lot of...
