One of the greats. The voice will live on, for sure. The personality will live on via the silver screen. Fitting tribute.

I'd vote for him. It would be a breath of fresh air to have someone on council who knows what it means to get off their duff and do a bit of real work. Good on him. Bleedin Councils!!!

I don't waste time or water rinsing plates before putting them in the dishwasher. Removing debris does not require water ... just a bit of a scrape with the right tool is enough for me. Also, I regularly descale the machine after checking the filter that is more often than not, free of debris...

Well, Our mail deliveries have changed to every 2nd day. So, one week it's 2 deliveries, the next week it's 3. On the 4th of September I received a letter from a local hospital to confirm my husband's procedure coming up on the 29TH OF AUGUST!!!!! Good thing hubby was not on death's doorstep...

I'd be locking the grandmother in the toilet and give the kid an iPad to get into a trance with. I suppose granny was at her wits end when she said, yeah take the kid and you deal with it. It's probably time for noisy passengers, adults or kids, are put into a naughty corner together. Then one...

Well, if they are desperate enough to listen in on my conversations, they would find it no less then dead bat poo boring. I only use my phone when I absolutely have to, and, when I do, it's rarely more than a couple of minutes. Nothing to see/hear here.

I don't care where it comes from, it sounds bleedin delicious.

Some people have a little too much time on their hands. I hope the rest of their day gives them some calm, because that pretend ticket tirade was obviously created in moments of cranky bums. I have heard of some weird parking mishaps, however, a school pick up does not even come close to earth...

I brought my kids up with a little ditty that ends with "Honey makes you funny". Usually recited when ladling honey on our crumpets, or on top of the porridge. One of the reasons I prefer winter, amongst many. I am always on the lookout for roadside stalls that sell the local product. The...

Our last will update only changed because we wanted to simplify it. We did start out by giving this much and that much to different people, but family dynamics are such, you cannot be sure the dark waters of greed wont be stirred up. So, everything will go to the surviving spouse if one of us...

Another one gone. I was looking at old family photos last night. My grand daughter asked who certain people are. I answered her, remembering these relatives like I has seen them only days ago. It brought a bit of a reality hit to me when I realised all of the people in the photo are long gone...

Never a truer word spoken. He is indeed, an idiot.

There is no way she could not afford insurance if receiving income from another apartment. My feeling it may have been a case of ït won't happen to me". She most likely cruised along happily reaping the rewards from the rental property, then, when it kicked her in the butt, she remembered the...

In this day and age, it is completely and utterly wasteful and environmentally inconsiderate to toss left over food instead of eating or composting. If someone made use of my left overs, I'd be flattered. It means I did something right. In my house, EVERYTHING is consumed and NOTHING tossed...

We still have a drive-in here in Heddon Greta (Hunter region). It is a price per car, you tune your car audio to the drive-in station (no more window speakers) and when the weather is good, can get the BBQ going, sit on the back of the ute, get out the fold up chairs, put on the insect repellant...

Yet other reasons why I never travel. Day trips for us ... we don't need more than that.

Well. Here is a yet another example of Australia Post creating misery because of their new delivery policy. We receive 2 mail deliveries a week. Hubby had a medical procedure coming up and we were told the hospital would MAIL the instructions for pre admission. I ended up calling them and had...

Yep. Down under is the place to be. When I am out, toddling up to the shops, or sweeping the footpath, there will always be hello, how ya goin, whether it's people I know, or not. I have petted many a dog being taken on walkies, and, held amusing conversations with toddlers. Life it too short...

Always, always, always read cleaning labels. They are there for a reason ... duuuh.

I would have miserably failed a beep test in my day. However, in high school I had a very astute and empathetic teacher. She gave me top marks in Phys Ed even though I was totally inept unable to complete physical tasks like other kids. My forte was academia, especially the written word. I was...
