    Heartwarming reunion: Baby born on roadside finally meets the strangers who saved her life

    Here I am with tears of joy in my eyes. What a beautiful story to read before going to bed & reminiscing my past births. The reunion surely will keep them together whenever possible. I'd get the lovely bunch of flowers gilded for the little girl to keep always.

    Gross! You won't believe what this Aussie mum found after going 4 days without cleaning her coffee machine

    Oh YUK. How gross. Can't wait to use The Nescafe tubes because my mind will now be forever on coffee machines associated with "you know what." Maybe I should clear my mind & drink tea from now on. Truly, I won't get this out of my mind for months.

    The Clever Way This Woolworths Shopper Used Rewards Points to Give Back To Others Will Make Your Heart Melt!

    Isn't it amazing how so many people do not know the meaning of Charity? All of us who have "elderly" for a title have done nothing else but doing for others their whole lives. We were always taught to "Do unto others as you would like done to you." The world hasn"t changed. PEOPLE HAVE. One...

    Groom left guests speechless – for all the wrong reasons

    "Time" can change so many things; and folks WITH time change too. I have learned not to give my opinion any more because I'll be called old fashioned. I am anything BUT. In my day we married in a church with God's blessing. Today, dare I say "many only make a mockery" of what used to be...

    Coles health star rating mystery leaves shoppers scratching their heads

    I have never bought orange juice because I've always had a lemon and orange tree wherever I've lived, so I really cannot comment other than to say I read every label for sugar content in other foods.

    Scams To Ignore

    The bank has certainly looked after me. In only 3 months I have had to change my Mastercard 4 times. The inconvenience you would all know. One instance I rec/d a phone call by a very cultured voice telling me he worked for the bank & had sent my last Mastercard to me with the wrong number on...

    ALERT: Authorities order another recall on several poppy seed products due to 'severe poisoning' risk

    We have never had so many returns re food "not quite right" for human consumption. Bring back the good old days when food was digestible, simple & tasty. All these new accessories added to the easy recipes we used to make............there's not enough testing done to warrant new ingredients...

    Aussie family left in $375k debt over Christmas after bank error

    What he must have gone through over the Christmas period must have been an absolute nightmare. No one wants to cope with that kind of embarrassment. Obviously a very capable businessman having to even TELL his employees his situation must have been SO confronting poor man. Privacy is so...

    What has happened to op shops? Have charity shops become greedy?

    Well, my fav subject. I will NOT dare repeat a situation I fell into with the Salvo's just a few years back. Am still warmed by the people who sympathized with me on Facebook @ the time. Compared to when I worked for years in Op Shops, to me they no longer exist. "Greed accumulation" has...

    A beloved royal and creatures from the deep blue sea: Royal Australian Mint unveils first coin for 2023

    'Luckyus' took the words out of my mouth. They have small gold bars so why not a coin in gold to keep her memory in our heart's forever. Being our longest reigning Queen to commemorate in such a way, it would be worth a fortune to our off-spring as I don't think we will EVER have a future...

    Is dishwashing liquid soap really worth the money? Bargain hunters share their thoughts

    Morning Fresh is a killer for my hands. For many years than I care to remember I have used "Dominant Products" from S.A. I get so many compliments, BUT you must remember that we all have different skin. What suits one may not suit another.

    French expat vents after being charged $24 for a coffee and croissant

    Well, we all know tourists get ripped off. Irrespective of comparing what we pay @ home don't waste your breath. He DID have freedom of choice when he asked "how much." That looked more than one croissant to me in the picture. However, shops need to make a living, have families to educate...
