whilst I don't disagree, I think the "senior" audience has pretty much the same values as we do, but we aren't the problem, nor the solution. The problem lies with the parents of the just-teens who are out of control. It's pretty much impossible to start discipline now when they are off the...

I agree that when the parents have lost control then the overarching authority has a role as described by Ezzy. I lived in China for 15 years and this approach was taken with those with video gaming addiction, drug addiction and those involved in terrorist activities. Western media went to...

Whilst I was grateful to benefit from my mother's inheritance, for years prior to her death, I tried to encourage her to get out of the house and do things, have a trip, get together with other oldies, but she said all she wanted to do was to leave something for my brother and myself. Now I'm...

I bought a butterflied lamb shoulder roast ONCE, agree too much fat for me and the Air Fryer :>

nice thought, but............. holding a driving licence is probably not one of his life's ambitions, when you can steal a really neat car and smash it up and kill a couple of innocents.

not quite sure about that.... I was the only girl in my primary school to get the cuts and it did nothing but make me more defiant. But I do understand your reaction to such an atrocious crime involving innocent people.

and citizen's taxes support him for the rest of his relatively comfortable life, while those impacted by the actions have their lives changed forever, if not, destroyed. The culprit is not going to become a model citizen during his imprisonment or detention.

The immeasurable heartache that follows this senseless taking of innocent lives by a 13-year-old brat leaves most people speechless. The question that must be addressed is the lack of parental control or responsibility. I believe, a child is mostly a product of their environment, give or...

Hi Tervueren, Giving people what they want may add a little something to their lives. I have a little experience of working in an aged care facility in 2016and at that time, in that facility, little time/thought/care/consideration was given to the residents.

My husband and I live in a very basic 3 bedroom house in Tasmania. On the plus side, we bought before the boom, the rates are reasonable, it's in a quiet area, has NBN, is near the regional hospital and ambulance. On the down side, it needs a lot of renovations that now my husband can't do and...

It will come as no surprise to most that aged care facilities are woefully understaffed. In my area of Tasmania the aged care facility has been directed to increase resident contact "minutes", but with the meagre staffing levels they try to operate on, meal times are called "crunch times" as...

I'm not certain about the majority of people and their reaction towards getting some random gift which may or may not be suitable for them, but if I received an unwanted gift from an unknown person whilst I was in aged care it would not indicate to me that "someone cares about me". To put your...

Receiving a gift from someone who I didn't know and who is doing some charity work would leave me feeling more depressed. The givers are more likely doing it to make themselves feel good.

I don't know the answer to that question as I shop in store, but getting the truck back to pick up one tray of disappointing meat, would, I think, be a logistical nightmare.

With meat being more expensive than before, I choose more carefully. The container of meat gets turned upside down and viewed from all angles. But if this piece of fat was purposefully hidden that's a nasty selling trick. Yes, you can take it back, but if you discover it whilst making dinner...

I would think there should be far more outrage and shock about the price increases on essential everyday products that do not contribute to the increase of obesity in this country.

yep, at 68, I'm inclined to agree with you. But with a husband who doesn't cook and cats who don't either it may not be possible :>>>>>

Like others I first used a computer in the late 70's, it took up an entire room with whirring banks for data collection. I thought everyone my age was at least semi-computer literate until I moved to Tasmania. I have met loads of folks around my age who still have a land line and no mobile...
