I drink Rooibos tea for preference because it's caffeine free, low in tannin & doesn't seem to have the same diuretic effect I get with both black & green tea. Rooibos comes from South Africa and has a rather nutty/bushy taste. Can be enjoyed hot & cold, black & white too.

Yes indeed! Even though some people are coffee snobs, I find tea much more of an individual liking so I rarely have tea when out.

I don't know that we can generalise like that really ..... there are far too many dog owners who are more than just irresponsible because they are blind to how their dog affects others & just as many wonderfully responsible cat owners who go above & beyond normal requirements in keeping their...

Why people don't care for their pets lives by protecting them defies common sense for most of us ....... And for all who'd like the answer for when people say they've got to let the cat out for vitamin D - it is incorrect, even apart from all the other dangers to roaming cats. Cats (all of the...

But ALL lives are important - wildlife is not more worthy & cats are only hunters the same as every carnivore or omnivore is. Unless animals are provided with food they have to hunt - that's just a fact. They cant go to supermarkets...... I love cats (and dogs, possums, tassie devils and galahs...

Responsible pet ownership means just that!! They rely upon us to look after them & so-called feral cats are simply the result of human neglect in the first place. One of my neighbours collects cats & dogs like other people might collect souvenirs ..... he "loves" animals he says but I've taken...

Indeed! Why some people feel it's necessary to take half their wardrobe with them - and the maximum weight allowed sort of defeats the purpose of travel for my family. We've done a lot over the years, both domestic & international and rarely ever check luggage in 🤣 How on earth do we do that...

Actually it is. General people weight is averaged the same as in lifts/elevators. For example, a max load for a 400kg lift is said to be 5 people but obviously as every person doesn't weigh 80kg it hopefully averages out with as many under as over weight. When flying though, the staff doing the...

"I am Australian" by The Seekers for me! Gives me the feels every time.

Remember when we were young & our parents used to say things like 'don't judge others' and 'it's none of your business' ...... I miss those days 😪 And anyone who swears that disgustingly publicly is not displaying intelligence, respect, manners etc either. Just another intolerant self...

LOL! My gorgeous husband was a professional swimmer with an amazing physique but even he drew the line at the budgie smugglers...... it was mainly so women wouldn't ogle him in public like they did at the pool though 🤣

I was just about to write such a comment myself but thought I'd read all the comments to see if anyone is like me & there you are! I swim at least twice a week and sometimes pop into the supermarket on the way home - yes, in a big fluffy dressing gown over my cossie! Shock horror!!! In summer...

Even though technology makes it easy not to use cash - with my knowledge of technology I always have cash on me. Not usually needed but peace of mind & having money the government knows nothing about ...... lol !

My late husband (a professional athlete who ate KFC & Maccas - go figure! He never had a weight problem......) often bought KFC when travelling overseas hoping someone's would be as good as Australia's can be (when fresh & cooked properly) but it never was so we gave up - lol. He also classed...

To add to the library card one - use the Borrowbox app & borrow your library books online! It's a brilliant app & really easy to use.

As I refuse to shop in kmart because they import nearly everything from China I'm not personally bothered ........ my first thought is they'll be being used for security measures even if that might not be common knowledge yet. Speaking as the IT nerd I am - business would be crazy not to utilise...

All the boasting on social media is a bit like seeking thanks for volunteering for me - why do it? Just keep your private life private & don't let the left hand know what the right is doing and all that - as my grandmother always said. All the attention seeking, the airing of 'dirty linen' in...

Use a hair-dryer? Good heavens no! So wasteful! I have rarely owned a clothes dryer because I just don't see the need. During winter when there's not as much sunshine I simply use a fabulous camping clothesline overnight and rarely have washing hanging around more than that but sometimes in...

Oh my goodness! A blast from the past for me seeing the name Ellinis 😁 I took my mum on the S.S Ellinis for her 50th birthday & we had a ball! It was a beautiful classy ship - I remember the fabulous food (and great Greek waiters!) and the gorgeous library (!) as being so much better than any of...

I went to a new IGA which opened near us the other night & it looked just like this! BUT! There was a supervisor flitting around with several young workers working magic on disturbed displays - I got quite a giggle out of it 🤣
