This is reaffirming as I eat and enjoy most of these foods. Like the look of avocado but break out in a rash when I eat them - so have to avoid. I do love my greasy chips though (the old fashioned ones).

The days of service with a smile, nothing was too much.

Felt so sorry for Thuy. My heart goes out to her as it could happen to any of us. The little person trying to work hard to survive and to provide the best for her family against big profitable corporations who have no sole and care more for profits than their customers. I hope that Thuy is able...

Thank you for this - will watch out.

I like to have choice. I still have a cheque book which I use now and then for a few bills which I post. I do not use it that often any more but it is nice to have. I have had a cheque book for my entire adult life and at one time it is how I paid my bills and large purchases. When I purchased a...

I loved these. I still miss my Fantales though!!!! Can't believe they are no longer.

We always used to use Finish, but the prices are ridiculous. Tried the ALDI and pleasantly surprised how well this washes. Now this is what we use. Also tried the Trimat washing powder and made the switch. Why pay the huge costs when something as good if not better is available?

Our next door neighbour has a very large boat that they park in the street outside their home. They also have four cars and do not use their garage. Instead they park their cars outside our place and sometimes across our driveway as we keep our two cars in our garage. The view of our home on...

My god - I recited it all before I read through the pictures. It is amazing how one remembers when a trigger spark is put before you.

Always I use the checkouts - prefer to wait in line even if the self service is empty and the queue is long at the checkout. To be honest I like the personal interaction with the cashiers, as I am a regular customer and am known in the community. This story gives me the reason to keep doing...

We had these in our home as a boy and in my grandparents home too. My grandfather used to change the element in the jug when it wore out so it kept going for many years meaning it lasted. I still have them after we cleaned out our mum's house after she passed. They are in a box in the garage...

An example of today lack of respect for people, property and the law. Young people often think they are invincible and can do anything they like. When things go wrong it is someone else's fault - no responsibility.

I too as a child remember the doctor visiting at home. My mother-in-law's doctor still visited her at home when needed. She was very healthy right up to when she died last year at 104 (she lived with us from 97 and prior was in her own home fully independent). The doctor visited her for many...

When I was a child my relatives all followed the same patterns. My grand parents had a song they would sing to us outlining their weekly tasks. Ah the memories of a simpler less chaotic life. Now that I am retired I am doing the same things with days for special activities (I emulate my grand...

And they want us to switch from cash!

Nine correct today, the wrong one answer right in my head just clicked the wrong box. Better than last week which averaged three. This week starts on a high note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A sign of the times. I use both that suit me at different times, I like having choice. I hate banking on line as it is extra stress checking and rechecking that I have not made an error, and then worry that I still have done something wrong or have been hacked whilst doing it. I still pay many...

I don't use them, I prefer to wait in line for the single operator assisted checkout. Fortunately, there is always one open. The staff at my local Wollies (only a small store) are lovely and have been there for many years and they like their jobs. We all know each other by name. I am very lucky...

I remember these and I loved them. I can still get them at my local cake shop that still has so many cakes and buns like I had in my childhood. They still taste the same as the recipes have been passed down to the new owners some years ago after the original owners sold up to retire after many...

Connie used to deliver our buttercup bread and rolls each morning early. We would have lovely fresh bread rolls to take to school for lunch. In the holidays we would have our bread rolls when they arrived still warm, I can still smell them. On Fridays we would also get two loaves wrapped in a...
