Oh Alan. I'm not absolutely sure how you're conflating my health insurance status with my views on government control of the populace, but allow me to set your mind at rest. Not one day of my 78 years has been spent uninsured healthwise. Never let it be said that I bludge on our appallingly...

Never apologise for your opinion. You have as much right to be heard as everyone else, and in this case, you’re absolutely correct. This current nonsense about the asbestos mulch is media hysteria at its worst. As I’ve written previously, it’s simply another ploy of a socialist government to...

I nursed a man with mesothelioma and it truly is a terrible death. But its incidence is rare. The hysteria is another instance of governments putting fear into people unnecessarily. Then, people think how wonderful it is to be kept safe by the wonderful governments. It's all part of the march...

My husband’s grandfather was the Newcastle manager of Hardies, the company who manufactured fibro sheeting for houses. It’s made from asbestos. As children, back in the fifties, hubby and his sister used to love playing in the big warehouse, pretending the fibro dust was snow. They’d throw...

Nobody will ever convince me that scientists will abide by by the guidelines and not allow the embryos to develop further than 14 days. By their very nature, scientists are curious and won't be satisfied with pulling the pin when guidelines say they must. It's utter madness, but the genie's...

It staggers me the level of entitlement some people have. Just because you want something to happen doesn't automatically ensure that it will happen. If the store has a notice, regardless of size, it's incumbent on you to see it, or enquire as to their refund or return policy prior to purchase...

Maybe it’s because his mother’s American. Just a guess, I don’t know.

My thoughts are as follows: anyone who’s so invested in the movie world and the politically motivated awards, is playing into the hands of the elites pushing what I call ’The Cult of Celebrity‘. Wake up and look around you.

My biggest problem is that I'm virtually housebound now because of disabilities. I'm pretty much restricted to those I've known for years and the fellow residents of the retirement village we live in. It takes a lot to change the mind of an elderly person if it goes against what they've believed...

Tipsy, I adore you! Finally, someone else who gets it! I’m so glad I’m not crying in the wilderness any more on this forum.

Thank you Mr Chips. In my view, alcohol use has increased to the point where it's seen as necessary to enjoy yourself. Nobody loves a dry white or good champagne more than I do, but I have just as good a time without a drink as with one. Having been an emergency ward nurse in Sydney, I've had...

A great lady and an inspiration to all. RIP Elizabeth.

My husband's carer is here at present, and she's familiar with Busselton. She said that pretty much everything's expensive there because people are happy to spend more when they're on holiday. We rarely eat out, but I did go out for a lovely mother and son catchup breakfast last weekend. I...

I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that every discussion with a real estate agent was a confrontation. I have no problem with your point of view if you find it productive. A very wise woman once told me that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It's been my experience that she was right.

Obviously, I agree that this particular agent behaved like a complete dick. However, when dealing with real estate agents or any professional, I believe in adopting a positive mindset, and approaching them with a smile. Too many people assume they’re going to be treated badly, so they go...

If Woolies expect us to believe Australia Day merchandise is becoming less popular, they’re delusional, not to say arrogant! Do they really believe the Australian public is stupid enough swallow this rubbish? Get down off the moral high ground with all the other virtue signalling loons and give...

Hi Sean I'm not a real estate agent. I have no friends or family who are real estate agents. However, I've met many agents over the years, when renting in the early years of our marriage, and buying and selling homes for the last 51 years. We're currently living in our 18th, and final, home...

We were much more lenient with our two grandchildren than we were with our son. I was always the main caregiver and disciplinarian with all three. I've been blessed, or cursed? with a voice that can strike fear into a brick wall when required. This makes life with recalcitrant children much...

Our 17 month old Miniature Poodle would chomp through that in two minutes!

Good grief! I expected to read that the burger contained half a mouse, or a cockroach. While I'd never willingly eat raw mince myself, my husband loves it and I know others who do as well. While Maccas is definitely at fault, I cannot believe anyone would make such a fuss over such a small...
