    ABS reveals new cost-of-living spike details

    Just this week I have had to drop a fortnightly medical treatment that has wiped out all my savings. When it was started I was told I would need approximately 12 weeks of treatment and then after one every 6months. Over 2 years later I was still going in fortnightly. It went from up $180 to $230...

    Qantas to offer free Wi-Fi on international flights

    Will that be for everyone, or will economy miss out? And of course it won't be free, the ticket prices will increase again to cover it.

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    The postie does that here too but I just have a silent chuckle because it is now so rutted near the letter box, one day when it's wet he might just fall off because of the unevenness which can't be seen because the lawn mower doesn't get down into the ditches so it all looks level.

    Paws for thought: The hidden toll of financial hardship on pets and their owners

    I do miss having a dog to share life with since my last home companion had to be put to sleep a few years back but one is just unaffordable, even the ones at the RSPCA. I am not just talking about young ones, but also Senior dogs, who don't have a long time left in them, are well in excess of...

    Hopefully they will be putting a lot more on telephone duty as well, so those are now answered in a timely manner too.

    TV host and former golf professional Stephanie Sparks passes away at 50

    1. If I knew the person and had already been told I personally would be hurt and disgusted to see articles similar to this one. 2. Then they are a bunch of ghouls. 3. I don't understand why you said that. She was American not English. 4. You can't help but read the headlines can you. 5. You've...

    TV host and former golf professional Stephanie Sparks passes away at 50

    As being part of the Senior community I find it in extremely bad taste to have these deaths pushed down our throats almost every single day. If it was somebody near or close to us we would already know. If they were near or close to us and we didn't know, what a horrible way to learn of it...

    Joke Oh, to be young again.

    Once you get to that goal you'll have to try and stretch that little bit further standing on an old phone book :) But be careful - I have managed tumble over several years back. Try explaining to someone you fell off a phonebook!

    Joke Oh, to be young again.

    I'm still able to touch the floor with my fingers but I'll never be like my Gran. At 87 she was still able to stand on the Sydney phone book and have the palms of her hands flat on the floor !

    A ‘war on red meat’? No, changes to Australian dietary guidelines are just a sensible response to Earth’s environmental woes

    In that case, how on earth are all the millions of us carnivores still alive and active? Growing up on a farm, we were brought up on 3 meat meals a day. None of my family passed before reaching their mid 90's. Unfortunately, due to finances, I am now "lucky" enough if I can have a meat 3 times a...
