    A haunted path

    I too have heard spiritual voices. And over the years seen and heard voices. My first encounter was shortly before our mum passed away. I felt my dad’s presence in the kitchen through his sent. The second was in an old house we had. We had just had the wiring done. Our dog was staring at a glass...

    Early morning fog in the Blue Mountains.

    Early morning fog in the Blue Mountains. Woke up to a beautiful foggy morning and two ducks.

    The 'Nostalgia Competition' - Share your memories of Yesterday's Australia and you could win $100

    I can remember when our mum would bake scones, and nothing better than when they came out or the oven and spreading butter over them and a lovely freshly brewed pot of tea to wash it down. Mum had a gentleman’s agreement with our uncle who repaired washing machines. Whenever ours broke down he...

    ‘Tis the season to be jolly! Woolworths starts selling an exciting Christmas treat this month

    What a bunch of tosses. What is wrong with Wollies spreading Christmas cheer. You don’t have to buy them. Just walk away, and stop whinging and wanting your 5 seconds of fame. Reading the story one winger would want Christmas celebrated from December 15 to December 25. Maybe that’s stretching...

    The 'Nostalgia Competition' - Share your memories of Yesterday's Australia and you could win $100

    So many fond memories of growing up in our neighbourhood in the 60s. My parents house was the first in the street, so dad could choose how big a block he wanted. He went for the standard quarter acre. As our house was built on an old cow paddock and many times a cow would break down the barbwire...

    Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas? Eagle-eyed shoppers are left gobsmacked after spotting holiday-themed items in August

    I can’t see any problem with Christmas decorations out early. At least if you buy early, by the time the stores such as Big W, Target and Kmart start selling their cheap Chinese products you would already have yours. Besides Costco are not telling you, you have to buy your Christmas decorations...

    The 'Nostalgia Competition' - Share your memories of Yesterday's Australia and you could win $100

    I have similar memories of the Billy Cart. We usually made ours the first week of the summer holidays. The axles were wood that my dad had in his workshop, as was the centre piece to hold the axles in place. The rear axle was nailed permanently but the front axle was bolted allowing it to turn...

    Milkman

    Milkman I can remember waiting for the milkman with my sister to come up the street when we were on summer holidays, with the Clydesdale horse pulling the milk cart, and the milkman on the back and then jumping off to put the milk bottles in the racks of the houses. When he stopped outside our...

    Why Today's Karl Stefanovic's latest on-air stunt has everyone talking

    Welcome back Karl, and good on you for accepting the brief challenge. Obviously those dorks who found it bad for television are not regular viewers of Today. What would have made me cringe would have been that dork who hosts Sunrise. I saw him once in a Port Adelaide beanie, and he looked like...

    Hundreds are slamming this mum's birthday gift for her seven-year-old son — can you spot what the fuss is all about?

    That’s what is wrong with Social Media today, when a mother has to explain to these trolls why she bought this gift for her 7 year old son, and what other family members are bringing. I think next time Bonnie you should only tell your family what you have bought. As for those critics. MYOB.

    New data reveals Australians lost $295.2 million to scammers in the first half of 2022

    Never been scammed. I have a golden rule with the phone. If it’s not in my contacts I don’t answer it, because if it’s important they will leave a message. Received a email from Amazon once saying my parcel a Flat screen TV worth $3,000 had arrived and to confirm my email address, press on the...
