    Australian man missing after falling overboard from cruise ship

    I was hoping you'd see my reply and like I said, i just thought of this.I've just had another thought. It came from a Marine cargo transit Claim. I have worked at a number of insurance claims for 35 years and now medically retired. But during that 35 years I worked at an insurance broker for...

    Very sad news. Please excuse the CAPS... I'm simply trying to draw your attention to Facts. Plus a lengthy read, but if even some of this may help, then I'm writing everything I can think of. You may be able to help this wife and children. Freak accidents 'do happen and they happen all the...

    These $50 'Holy Grail' jeans from Target are ‘perfect’ for anybody!

    No jeans or slacks are good for ladies with thick thighs. I also have a tiny waist that just goes in at the waistline and then hips straight out. I wear dresses & skirts only.

    Widow reveals how a cruise line let her husband’s remains decompose in a drinks cooler

    Wow. Hate to say it but it just typical of Americans. They really are Clueless. I have American relatives, one is a specialist doctor, the brother a lawyer, their father was an engineer. They have no idea whatsoever and dealing with these people on travel claims was exactly like talking to A...

    Australian man missing after falling overboard from cruise ship

    Yes. I had a number of them and not just on cruise ships. There are some claims that live with me forever, claims where the event was beyond tragic. People think that it's just paperwork but I was speaking to the spouse, parent or a relative that has been approved to help out with paperwork...

    Australians Targeted by myGov Scam Text Exploiting Rising Cost of Living Woes

    People will seethe $800 and that's all they will think about and hand over their banking details without even thinking about it and wondering 'why?' would the government need it all again.

    Australians Targeted by myGov Scam Text Exploiting Rising Cost of Living Woes

    Agree. They $800 will grab them and they will not even think about it or wonder why the government needs their details & bank details again. These are the people that get scammed.

    Australian man missing after falling overboard from cruise ship

    Very sad news. Also considering that his partner passed away on the cruise and this happens. Very sad for both families and their friends. Had a few travel claims where people have passed away on the cruise and people thinking that this will be their last chance to travel. Thinking that they...

    What are your best AND worst purchases?

    Hard to say which Best Buy is my best. I had a few and have purchased a lot of original artworks at Hospital Charity Fund-Raisers and others from art galleries. Some amazing pieces hanging on my walls. These are not rural Australian country scenes as they are not my thing. I can appreciate them...

    What a cat-astrophe! An Aussie traveller's innocent encounter with a local animal became a costly lesson

    I did insurance claims for 35 years including International Travel claims. I probably handled a few hundred thousands of these. I also carried the Emergency Mobile and was contactable 24/7 for emergency cases as this one would have been. All I can say is this case was badly handled. This woman...

    Tomato Bruschetta

    It is delicious. I have also added Lebanese cucumber to bulk it up. I remove the middle part of the cucumber and then chop up into small pieces. I have also added minced garlic and mix this into the oil, grated rock salt, or grated pink rock salt, grated black pepper and let that marinate in the...

    Local mum's timing skills pay off big-time with $200 worth of meat for under $15!

    Yes, saw this FB post and thought 'something Fishy' about all of this, including other posts about these 'we never get to see' ... Coles & Woollies markdowns. My guesses are, that their children/grandchildren work there and have placed items at the back. They get marked down and then marked...

    Local mum's timing skills pay off big-time with $200 worth of meat for under $15!

    I agree. I bet they have a family member working there and they have it at the back. They let them know that they are at the store and then the family-staff member comes out and put's the trays down so they are picked up quickly by their family member. I amazed that Woolworth's & Coles never...

    Save the date: Get your hands on a McDonald's McChicken for just $1 on April 26!

    No thanks. It will be rubbish chicken. There's a Macca just a few minutes walk from me. It's there, thankfully far away enough it and the people that go there do not bother me except for the disgusting lazy b*ggers dropping '''their''' Maccas rubbish all the time. I'm guessing that it's not as...

    Discover the clever trick one Woolies shopper used to score 13 lamb cutlets for $6.90 - and you can too!

    They are there but sell quickly and many times not worth buying. In the Woolworth's Lamb section. Have a good look for the word Off Cuts and sell for $9.00 p/kilo. They use to sell the off-cuts for $4.00 p/k about 1-2 years ago. I have only seen it a couple of times myself and did not buy as not...
