I think it's a good idea. When was the last time you visited an older part of the cemetery? Our local at Hexham has one part that is crumbling, another that is mediocre with some tended - many not, a lawn cemetery that is always neat because they mow it every week, another that belongs to the...

Just another argument against a cashless society.

Works very well with good neighbours. We have a little clutch of more senior bin owners. Fortunately, we don't let each others' bins linger for too long as there are quite a lot of cars that park in front of our homes through the day. Unless someone is made to leave their home without warning...

Sadly, we live in a disposable society. Now, we are moving towards a disposable - compostable society, which is not a bad thing. Can't compost white goods and the like, so, there must be a graveyard somewhere that people can visit if they are keen enough to look for spare parts.

Not sure about ghosts, but I do believe that every person emits a special energy, or, aura. When my younger brother passed, it was almost too much for me to bear. I did not think I could come to terms with him being so young, then I lost my older sister within a year. Soon after we scattered...

My sister looked into this when she finally divorced after 15 years of separation. She decided it was not worth the waste of energy. She was told, when necessary for important document changes, instead of basic ID, she would need to provide originals, or notarised copies, of birth certificate...

Well, using correct grammar, that's enough to get one fornicating extremely annoyed. Geeez .... I am one of the worst offenders. I often call little boys Matie, and little girls Sweetie. I am also one of those extremely annoying old grannies who cannot stop from saying things like thanks luv...

Awww thanks VeggieP. Just goes to show, you can't always believe so called facts.' Having said that, I still won't buy them at the price. Much better to slip a few in the handbag at the next morning tea I attend.

Exactly the sort of thing my hubby would do. He was born playing harmless practical jokes on many an unwary victim. As a matter of fact, we were talking the other day about updating our funeral arrangements. Not going to have the usual coffin in a chapel with everyone crying. As hubby put...

Ahhh ... those were the days.

I remember reading an article some time ago about the symmetry of facial features having an effect on how one may perceive them attractive. For some reason, according to research, humans look more favourably upon faces that are symmetrical. Only 2% of the population falls into that category. A...

I have a problem without even looking at the product. Only sliders in my house ... duuuh.

It is not a case of total retirement from the human race. 38 years is not a bad age for world class tennis. I am sure he will find a way to cope on his prize money, well earned, over the years. He does have a toe in the water by nurturing future champions in his Nadal Academy. That will keep...

We always take advantage of kerbside pick up. Each household is allowed 2 pick ups a year, and, when we have them, a little clutch of neighbours add to each others. Works quite well. In effect we have the opportunity to utilise 8-10 kerbside pickups a year. It's good when neighbours can work...

Was a sad day when he passed. The man was a genius and always, always made me laugh.

What would you be doing in a shopping complex for over 3 hours? Unless it is a double feature movie, you'd be hard pressed to warrant such a stay. I kind of get the idea. My local Westfield has had this policy in for years. For pensioners and handicapped, the time is expanded after lodging...

Comes under the heading ... I don't care.

I never noticed finger buns disappearing. Been buying them for as long as I can remember. When they are on special, I freeze them. Come up a treat.

Don't need hand sanitiser, or elbow grease. We have one of those little rollers that run ink over addresses, and barcodes, or wherever else we want to blacken, and the information is gone in a wink. Failing that, if you don't want to buy the roller, black permanent marker is just as effective.

I had one of those neighbours. He decided he wanted a higher and more fancy fence that backed on to our house a little bit with two other neighbours. There was nothing wrong with the fence, he just wanted to be a big shot. We all said no, there is nothing wrong with the fence that is there...
