Surely this is not good enough? I had an inherited necklace with a polished Zulu love bean confiscated at the airport yet in this case huge trust is placed in thousands of people to do the right thing? Ha!

Apologies @Defiant540 it should've been 'bitten'.

Not again! In the 60s and 70s we were warned to steer clear of clothing appliques of happed apples and butterflies as they led to the downfall of our morals. Peace signs were straight from the devil! And what about certain LP records that would reveal satanic messages when 'played' backwards...

This has been around for a while—I have one and it works well. The price seems to have shot up though, I'm pretty sure I paid $15 not that long ago!!

@John Robert, I agree - especially with the expenditure on military equipment which will be completely outdated and obsolete when a war breaks out. The aggressor will simply say, 'I have my finger on the button, I'll flatten [insert city of your choice] with long-distance missiles if you don't...

Not sure what experience you have with these events, @AlanQ , but here on the Darling Downs community groups definitely have to provide the ingredients/components ourselves!

I much prefer this system to the 'previous' one where everyone tries to squeeze into the plane at the same time. The only problem with this 'new' system (and I have had recent experience) is that the passengers at the rear of the plane have to first exit via stairs halfway down the chute, walk...

How about these shops ordering less poor quality clothing in the first place?

@Ricki a friend of ours (who has lived in Cairns almost all his life), swears by the pies from the Babinda Bakery. I've never tasted them as I have Coeliac Disease, but perhaps you should take a drive down there and then report back to us!

The comments by my fellow SDC members are usually more interesting to read than the main article, and today is no exception... However, the article made me think. How does one respond to relatives/friends/acquaintances who have been accused of or found guilty of crimes that we generally...

Apologies, I couldn't focus on the contents of this post once I discovered this gem: Quiché Lorraine's.

True! Perhaps the ring was perched on something unmentionable that was floating...

Aww @Lizzie1149 I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It's true that, especially, older newcomers find it difficult to 'break' through invisible barriers that surround groups. As smaller towns usually do not provide a wide range of activities, you'll also find that some people who had been...

I wonder how many of the SDC readers have any interest in beauty products?

Golly, I had to google the term 'window vacuum' - I'd better get with the program and acquire more funky tools!

Men actually look at underwear ads? Among my family and acquaintances they either have their wives/partners buy the necessary or they buy whatever is the cheapest. I'd love to hear more on this topic from the male readers...

Too true! She should have mentioned cereals too! And most items marked 'low fat' are chock-a-block with sugar to make them tasty... Always read the label!

Egg whites I can understand, if you like making meringues or you've been medically advised to avoid yolks. But scrambled eggs? The mind boggles...
