    A beloved royal and creatures from the deep blue sea: Royal Australian Mint unveils first coin for 2023

    @theresek, go to www.ramint.gov.au which is the official website for the Royal Australian Mint. One way or another, they should be able to help you. From what I’ve read elsewhere, I don’t think they’ve been released yet. Good luck!

    A beloved royal and creatures from the deep blue sea: Royal Australian Mint unveils first coin for 2023

    Love it! Long live the Queen (in our hearts and memories)! It’s great to see that our coinage (notes and stamps) are creative and of (at least) world standards. Proud to be an Aussie!

    You won't believe the adorable TikTok sensation coming from a 'tiny town' in Tasmania

    Very cute! 😍 Reminds me of having Guinea pigs when I was growing up. I had (very creatively named:) Nosy, a male, and Fluffy, an angora female. They had two litters of two each time. The parents had their own cage, separate from the ‘kids’. They were a lot of fun, and I recommend keeping them...

    'Kidney cosies', telepathic embryos, and more: Hit and miss predictions of life in 2023 from a century ago

    Some things are probably easily able to be likely predictions, such as the popularity of alternatively fuelled motor vehicles, with the advent of electric power, hybrid vehicles and solar power. Obviously methods that are well and truly coming to pass already. The kind of predictions that ‘get...

    New fear unlocked – One camper woke up to WHAT in her ear

    Fortunately! Very fortunately, I’m so happy to report never having had such an awful experience! However, it is enlightening to discover what CAN happen, and what to do and NOT do if and when such an event occurs. Ugh!

    'Don't fix what's not broken': Here's why the internet is shocked by this woman's idea for an alternative to toilet paper

    Um, I’ll have to think long and hard about this one! As with most things, it will be challenging to get used to a different approach and to try a different method. Full marks for thinking outside the box though!

    This common driving habit is MORE dangerous than using your phone - are you guilty?

    Admittedly I used to (in my younger years) drive much closer to the car in front than was wise. These days I take a few precautionary measures, mainly because I’m aware that my reflexes have slowed, so that when a car brakes in front of me, now I need extra moments to react and also brake. Now I...

    Woman takes out bins, gets shamed by neighbours — find out why!

    My take is that the neighbour was probably a bit jealous of her ‘attractive’ or ‘sexy’ neighbour, and possibly embarrassed that she doesn’t entertain her husband to a similar degree. He undoubtedly doesn’t have a problem with a little neighbourly sight-seeing! 🤣 As has been suggested, he...

    Is this boy the reincarnation of a dead woman? The internet is freaking out!

    My belief is a simple one about there being only life on Earth. It’s very simple to me, based on Genesis, chapter 1, where it says that ‘God created the heavens AND THE EARTH’. It was always God’s plan to have a people on Earth worshipping Him. If we believe, everything has a simple explanation.

    You won't believe this genius hack for peeling apples that one dad was caught trying!

    I know it’s a little bit late this year for Christmas presents, but I might have suddenly found a new use for a power drill! 😂

    Is Urine Sterile? Do Urine ‘Therapies’ Work? Experts Debunk Common Pee Myths

    Excellent point!!! 🤣 The whole idea of urine ‘consumption’ makes me shudder, to say the least. Warning: AO content following: I have yet to understand the fascination, even, with ‘golden showers’. Surely any foray into any such injestion must be considered to be DELIBERATE! I’m pleased the...

    Christmas Competition!

    If you’ll forgive me, I have some comments to make about what many of us regard as the ‘real meaning of Christmas’. Over the years, I’m sorry to say, we seem to have forgotten or overlooked the ‘real reason for the season’. While many of us have wonderful memories of time shared with family and...

    Melbourne Redditor shares note from FRUSTRATED neighbour: ‘Have some respect’

    The neighbour needs to get a life! If the resident has a DIY project on, then his neighbours need to be a bit tolerant. He wasn’t operating the drop saw out of hours or breaking any laws. It would be different if he was running a carpentry business out of his home, but this is clearly not the...

    This woman's nauseating act on a three-hour plane trip has people talking

    Doesn’t it all come down to just one word? There’s even a song, titled: R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!

    Saying hello to strangers on the street – is it a thing of the past?

    As has already been observed, a smile, a ‘g’day’, a ‘how are you?’ or even ‘are you ok?’ doesn’t go astray. If that is the ‘usual’ you, then be ‘you’, and don’t change your behaviour because someone might be offended. We are not responsible for the reaction of others. We can become too sensitive...
