I was waiting to hear a few words from the donor of the breast milk.

It is indeed a very private thing. My niece suffers a similar degree of this disease that has invaded other areas of her body. She is living with bags attached to her body and tubes out of her nose. She is still working and does not talk to many people about her condition, just soldiers on...

I considered Private Health Cover a necessity when I was working. I felt it was akin to paying annual insurance. Then, I had a 2 day hospital stay in a private hospital that was required because of 24hr drip infusions. It was a pleasant place, a share room with another person, own shower, and...

What I don't get is why the bank did not communicate concerns and simply ask her the right questions. Secondly, perhaps a power of attorney drawn up with a solicitor would have been the way to go. I agree with the caution, however, totally disagree with the haphazard way it was managed. I...

I guess a good rule of thumb may be to use the same guidelines as you would with composting. I have never heard of that either.

We have had a few calls to jury duty, but had to cite hubby's poor health as a reason for non-attendance without any problems. For me the fact that I am his full time carer has relevance, so did not have to attend. If need be, I have no problem with serving on a panel as it is an important...

My family used to take turns hosting Xmas day. Not just dinner. It was lunch and dinner (buffet style)...as well as the usual nibbles on the table all day. We never had problems like this because each family member brought a couple of plates (with food on them), their own drinks, and the more...

I have to accept I will most likely never find a gold anything amongst my pot plants. That doesn't mean I would be checking for glimpses of sparkle amongst the bags of soil.

I have to agree with Catherine's message, to a degree. Because the services are needed, the doors do not necessarily open to meet their needs. What I do believe is that those who require medical attention that is not available in their area, MUST have subsidised travel. Why should someone have...

So heartening to hear that there are good people out there putting the environment first. The opposite to the carnage that developers leave in their wake is most welcome, but unfortunately, far and few to be seen. Wonderful lady who knows her business .... good news for the local flora and fauna...

Awww,,,,that's a lovely feel good story. I might say, they look pretty perky for their age ... must be the love in the air. Bless them both.

The first and only 3D viewing experience I enjoyed was Avatar. No paper glasses for that one. I had really, a really special one that fit over my spectacles. I was in a Gold Class cinema (an experience in itself), and yes, I was one of those people who kept trying to catch things, brush...

I have no interest in shopping in a place where I have to pay membership for the privilege. I have been there once as a guest and was not overly impressed. The areas I was interest in were fresh meat, soft drinks, incontinence products and a certain range of tinned food. There was nothing there...

There was a period of time we took turns hosting Xmas day, with all the food we could bear. I worked in the kitchen until the wee hours of the morning getting ready, but I didn't care. I ended up with a house full of people I love who did their best to enjoy every moment. Oh, and the one time of...

I'd tell her to pull her head in. The only victims here are the 2 chooks. Your sister is just too precious for her own good. Actually, with that kind of behaviour, I would ditch the pot luck get together and create your own group. Maybe a Takeaway club so everyone can be spared the cooking for...

My hubby collapsed in the bathroom one evening and couldn't be moved. Called the ambulance, who found out he was undergoing cancer treatment. So, they took him to the local cancer hospital. I got there to be by his side, they said they could not cope with his condition and it was dire. So, he...

I have another question I quite often ask people around me. If you had the power to pick a national anthem, what would you choose? My choice .... I am Australian (by the Seekers). I love that song.

My guess would be that most of them don't know the words. While we are on the topic, how many of us know the words to the second verse? I reckon our National anthem would be one of the shortest played at formal events. Anyone know if schools teach the children all verses? I have them written...

When I read things like this, I am more and more grateful for my self-cleaning oven. It's been a long, long time since I had to resort to such methods. The toxic aspect of cleaning ovens is not my cup of tea. Before I got a self cleaner, I used oven bags as much as I could, and, elbow grease to...

I reckon mine would be GONE WITH THE WINDEX It starts when you sink in his arms, and ends with your arms in the sink. Just joking. I am always the one who keeps things in hygienic order, and, wouldn't have it any other way.
