    Worried about getting a blood test? 5 tips to make them easier (and still accurate)

    I have had so many blood tests I could have fed old Dracula for a year or more, and yet each time I have to have one I get anxious and sweat and shake. I think this is due to some pretty horrendous experiences to draw from unwilling veins since a child who collapsed with fear too!

    Looming GP shortfall ahead as nearly one-third plan to retire in five years, doctors’ group warns

    Yes, I do and a strong reason is MDs are expected to see a new patient every 10 minutes and many do that places additional pressure on those circumstances that need more attention, not just a script or a basic urine test. Nurses are now employed to carry out the procedures GPs used to perform...

    Is your Subaru putting your life at risk? Shocking manufacturing defect leads to massive recall

    From memory we never had vehicle recalls when we made and assembled imported vehicles. Today it is a recall weekly from Chinese assemblies and cheaper mass-produced parts that are not holding up to the reputation. I had one for my 2006 Nissan Tiida with potentially dangerous metal-spitting...

    You won't believe the dirtiest places you're touching each day!

    I get out the liquid sanitiser and wipe over all the trolly handles and side areas I might touch before I trundle off with a shopping trolley. We all come into contact with undesirable 'germs' mostly our bodies will deal with. Common sense is the answer, as washing pillowcases twice a week, and...

    Are your favourite snacks and treats now considered luxuries? Here's why many Australians are dramatically cutting back!

    I think it good for those to understand preparing your food works out cheaper and mostly tastier and more satisfying let alone more healthy than all the processed foods people today have come to be hypnotized by, labelled healthy or not.

    Outrage forces Aussie shopping centre to take down Christmas decoration

    Christ=Christmas not any other, so get out the signs and the nativity scenes not only the Christmas trees we Aussies always had. We respect others traditions as I am sure they respect ours if our stupid P.C woke wonkers would stop acting as if we are all different..

    Pro-cash advocate exposes Australia's 'cashless society': ‘Our economy isn't inclusive anymore’

    I think every transaction made using the card when shopping, a coffee, or online a fee is charged by the bans even if it is 'hidden'. I know they charge for every tap and go. Of course, most here are more familiar with using cash and the combination of cash and card. I prefer cash withdrawals...

    Extreme weather is landing more Australians in hospital – and heat is the biggest culprit

    I remember well like it was last year..the Xmas and Summer heat 70 years ago without any cooling other than hanging wet sheets on clotheshorses with a fan blowing on them to cool the stifling air. One year the 12 tall slender red taper candles in the crystal stars of mother's elegant and...

    Why do I sense so many of us are very sad today at the loss of a sweet person Johhny Ruffo? Almost a son, almost a family member. Thoughts for his fiance Tahnee and family who stood by him through thick and thin. He leaves a legacy.

    ‘Haunted’ floors and presences: Eerie tales from a century-old supermarket

    I would love to be there too. The unexplained bumps/voices/odd shapes in the night have never spooked me. I have seen and heard many in my life. It defines another realm of ...where?

    Are you at risk? Toyota Kluger models recalled over a defect that might cause serious injury

    It seems to be a monthly recall report about one vehicle or another now. We lost our chance to continue with the best cars assembled here..years ago thanks government chasing the quick dollars and not the long-term view and losing our self-sufficiency.

    Did the recent Optus outage affect you? You might be eligible for compensation.

    We still had our Internet and could text as normal I read about the outage online. I did not try to use the iPhone. I guess it was offline or was it? I have Amaysim aka Optus for my mobile provider too.
