How's this for a relatively simple solution? Every damn cent and dollar spent on foreign aid should be used to assist Australians on a pension. Pretty easy, really. Why are we giving money to Indonesia? Why are we giving money to other countries around the world? Stop doing that - the money...

What is wrong with the spelling?

Myself and my brothers and sister grew up very poor (1950s poor, not today's poor). One of my brothers and I saved our money (washing bottles we collected and returning them for the deposit - South Australia) and bought my mum a Christmas gift. Being so young, we were so proud of ourselves. We...

He was 22 when he married his 13- year-old cousin. I don't like peadophiles, so good riddance as far as I am concerned.

Well, I guess that now officers will just have to tolerate being spat on and bitten. If you don't work in the field, then don't comment. Children as young as 10 can be vicious, dangerous future criminals and, treating them like poor, hard done by little angels will not stop them from being...

Ahhhhhh, but these days a male can identify as a woman if he wants to.:LOL: The video might come in hand afterall!

I am a night owl...I love night time. I used to get up at 5 am and walk to the bus stop to go to work, now I am rarely out of bed before 9-9.30 am and rarely go to bed before midnight. I get 8-9 hours, sometimes 10 hours sleep (broken sleep as I have not slept right through the night for...

Damn, just saw another entry the same. Such good advice it was given more than once!

Best piece of advice was from my mum, who often quoted her favourite saying: "Love many Trust few Always paddle Your own canoe"

A good smack on the arse never made me, my brothers or my sister criminals or gave us psychological problems. A good smack on the arse never gave my son or my daughter psychological problems or made them criminals or unreasonable people. A good smack on the arse never made my four...

Who can afford to replace items every year or couple of years? Those of us on an aged pension won't be doing this, or at least, I won't.

Who cares?? Yet another reason why I don't belong to these social media outlets like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter or the rest of them. There are so many problems in society and THIS is what is important to people? These social media outlets are contributing to the destruction of society. The brat...

Here is an idea for a Xmas gift for people on a very tight budget. When my son, daughter and myself were living on the pension decades ago, we came up with this idea (it may have been invented by someone else, but we also independently thought of it). Get some nice, thin cardboard and a small...

I had to look up kokedama...thanks for teaching me a new word. Very nice they be.

Actually, there is not that much skill involved. If you can trace, and if you can colour in, then you can etch. I am no artist (I have trouble drawing stick figures!). The only difference between colouring in on paper and etching, is that with etching, the diamond ball moving at speed and if you...

My hobby is glass etching...all by hand, none of this etching cream for me. I recently etched a candle holder that finished with. Wrap it in cellophane paper with a nice bow and viola, little pressie. I buy a good tea in glass jars that have no logo on the lid or jar (the label peels off...

I hate carrying change in my purse, so after shopping, I take the coins from my purse, put the $1 and $2 coins in a very large jar, and all the silver in another very large jar. I use the money to pay my electricity bills every quarter. I have been saving the money and not using it for the...

Same with me. My kids got a good smack on the arse when they deserved it. Start young and after a time, they just don't need to be smacked on the backside anymore because they grow up well disciplined. As a teacher, I daily saw the results of no smacking parenting! No thank you. I am glad my...

Penny burger, or bunger?

I agree with the above posts. Self-checkouts take jobs away from people. The supermarket does not have many check-outs open, only a couple, because people use the self-checkout so it means waiting in line. I have used them and guaranteed, I always need to call the supervisor because the machine...
