Its a very difficult subject to bring up with the family member needing help especially if they are still able to make even bad decisions for themselves and refuse to admit that they are not coping well. My dads world fell apart when we lost mum, it was very sudden and happened with no prior...

I had not thought of going for 3rd party as i have always gone for comprehensive and honestly did not really understand the difference, my car is 10 years old but in good condition with regular servicing and I have a lifetime no claim bonus, which I thought would protect me, obviously not as my...

The main reason that the WA state government can offer this rebate is because unlike other states In Australia The power company that operates the electricity grid in WA is still owned by the state government, and not by price gouging private companies, something that other state governments...

More useless items that I didn't know that I needed before I saw them

Have sampled a variety of them and Found "Little Creatures" a local WA brand to be the one I like the most. It is very smooth with no sharp edges to it and I really like it. I suppose it is available Australia wide as most WA boutique breweries have a presence in the big liquor store chains such...

no matter how much we complain nothing will change, All Banks are a company that need to make money for their business and their Shareholders. The closing down of branches and Removal of ATMs will continue and the Banks will find reasons to justify it. The government, no matter which one, are...

WE live in a regional area and our tap water is appalling, The taste is terrible you can actually see little floaty bits in it, We forked out to get whole of house water filtration installed and regretted it within months as the filters were not strong enough to remove the horrible taste. I am...

I am thinking that the discontinuation of shoe polish is a generation thing, most of us in the forum would have used shoe polish at sometime, I know that my husband still does and it is not just to shine his boots it is to help with making them water proof, he cleans his work boots and then...

Quite a few years ago I was put into hospital with symptoms of what the doctors advised was acute stress, at the time I had no idea that severe stress could manifist in physical symptoms, I guess you learn something new all the time. I was kept in bed for a week, which drove me crazy as I...

Our closest Centerlink is over 75KM away, so with the round trip being 150km the whole excercise is a lengthy day trip. Telephone access to make an appointment is limited by activity on the network and that drops out constantly so making an appointment by phone can take a couple of days of...
