It's your friendly neighbourhood germ phobic here. Everything she suggests I do. An electric toothbrush in the morning, and a normal one at night. I thoroughly rinse and dry the toothbrushes and put them in a toothbrush holder thingy. When I was at Teachers' College many years ago, my room was...

Thank you for a reasoned, courteous response. I'm an avowed naturist. Not as in undressing in public, but in loving and trusting Mother Nature. It probably sounds immature and fanciful to you, but in my 78 years on the planet, I've run the gamut of 'what's it all about', and this theory is...

Ah, Flim Flam Flannery! The gift that keeps on giving! 🤣🤣

Well, you did. Check your reply to me. You quoted me, and then you informed us Ian Plimer is not a physiologist. Please point out to me where I said he is.

I'm beginning to think those of us with connected brain cells do need to form a team.

I love it when someone quotes me! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. You lost all credibility with me when you said you've never heard of Judith Curry. What kind of scientist are you? An animal behaviourist perhaps. Anyone even vaguely connected with climate science knows who she is...

Thanks for your reply. Nice to know I'm not alone in my views. Ian Plimer has always struck me as eminently down to earth and sensible. You'd need to be to hold your own against those clowns.

I'm a country girl born and bred. Wingham is a very hot little town and I lived there for the first 15 years of my life. Our classrooms were uninsulated weatherboard buildings with no air conditioning, not even a fan. We coped, and not only did we cope with those conditions, many of us thrived...

Recently we had lunch with friends at Wangi Wangi Workers' Club. As usual, the meal was too much for me and I asked for a doggy bag. There was a charge of 20 cents. Is the club going to put 20 cents on plastic? No. They'll either forego it or add 20 cents to every menu item. f you buy a...

I saw a facebook meme recently. I’ve gone through 78 years as the glass half full Pollyanna. Recently though, I sense a change and this meme summed it up perfectly: ‘I never thought I’d become a grumpy old woman, but here I am rocking it!’

I boil on the stove with cloudy ammonia added to the water.

I agree in principle with CristinaV, but it's probably not a good idea to express yourself so forcefully when the article isn't directly about politics. However, I think many Aussies are becoming desperate and frustrated because they're seeing their standard of living disappear. Those who...

I make my own muesli, and I'm not sure why you think homemade muesli isn't nutritious. Mine contains rolled oats, sultanas, banana chips, raisins, diced apricots, almonds, walnuts, pepitas and sunflower seeds. I put 35 grams in a bowl with 10 grams of chia seeds and some frozen blueberries. I...

I've eaten whole grains, beans and legumes my entire life, because my mother was way ahead of her time nutritionally. Every day I eat homemade muesli with whole rolled oats, nuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds and dried apricots. Before I begin eating, I add chia seeds, blueberries and stewed apple...

Do what I do when I see an article which is of no interest to me: scroll past. Everyone has different interests. It really isn't up to you to tell the team what they should be giving us readers.

I grew up in Wingham, a notoriously hot little town. Very occasionally we had ice cream, maybe three times a year, but always in summer. Of course in the fifties, fridges and their funny little freezers weren't anywhere near as efficient as they are today. By the time Mum had dished up the ice...

Nobody denies that the world APPEARS to be warming. However, nobody will ever convince me that this is caused by humans. Also, the BOM simply cannot be relied upon to supply factual data. I was staggered to hear our local TV weatherman say a couple of weeks ago that the temperature that day...

I don't believe it's appropriate to judge others' opinions on this site. One of the reasons I joined Seniors Discount Club, is that I've always felt that it's a safe space to express myself. Lately I've noticed other members gratuitously criticising other members. As seniors, surely we have a...

If he has any sense, he's running for the hills as I write!
