I live in an RSL Village in Victoria and they’ve just notified us that our rent is going up yet again. i currently pay $795 a month for which I’m incredibly grateful. My husband served in the armed forces for 25 years which gives me this privileg, but each time we get a pension increase our rent...

What an absolute croc. Why would anyone in this financiall difficult period be so self centred and ridiculous. There is nothing more beautiful than a healthy body. Good skin doesn’t require any enhancement or dressing up to make us into a magazine or on line guru‘s idea of beauty. Is it any...

Make your own candles. It’s so easy. Go to Pinterest for instructions and use Temu for candle making supplies. buy cheap candles and melt them, plain household candles will do. Use essential oils to obtain the perfume you want. Kmart have cheap essential oils. It’s that simple. Cost is about $2...

i call it patronising in the extreme when addressed in such a manner. As you say it’s a seniors web site nothing more or less. I hste the way we are treated and couldn’t agree more with the other users

Your use of language is ridiculous when reporting events. We are not teenager children or younger. Being overly dramatic to describe a so called news event is unnecessary. It’s enough to say what happened in simple language.

The big issue for me is that the kerb is too high for me to use my aler or wheelchair easily. Lowering the kerbs would really help us disabled people.

We need to understand the importance of the decline of our bees. They pollinate most of our food crops. They are now under attack from disease as well as climate changes.

So much rubbish about food handling. I remember the school fetes and the CWA cake stalls that were stopped due to ridiculous over protective councils. How many of us suffered from food poisoning in those days. Very few I think. So much money was raised for charity by incredible home cooks and we...

You don’t need the emergency department for ulcers. Your doctor was wrong to send the woman there. There are specialist clinics for this. Even the district nurse would have been better.

I am disabled and have a disability sticker and I’m constantly getting abuse from people. Then there are the people who leave shopping trolleys or bikes and e scooters everywher. Often there are kerbs that I’m unable to use instead of wheelchair access on pavements. When I was able to use a...

I am so sick and tired of the complaining about supermarket prices. Are your lives so empty that you need to talk endlessly about one subject. I’ve said so many times on this forum, research old cook books and depression era recipes. Grow your own salad/ vegetables etc. Make food from scratch...

It’s a problem this trial by television and radio. I am horrified that the toxic mushroom case has been judged by media which is appalling. If and when this case goes to trial how on earth will the perpetrator get any sort of a fair hearing. These journalists need shutting down. Everyone is...

Noumeas capital has always reminded me of a Paris slum. It was not an appealing destination

I’m disabled and can’t get to the shops which is very frustrating for me and isolacting as well but I don’t know how I would’ve managed without online shopping. I would love to shop at ALDIs and can’t wait until they start deliverit’s. I used to shop online at Kmart but recently they have cut...

shipping container housing is not only affordable but nowadays it’s also attractive. Yes the outside might be a little pedestrian but I have seen very well planned and executed containers in several countries. There are so many ways they can be put together. One, two or more bedrooms, one or two...

My daughter suffers From coeliac disease and the lack of understanding in Australian food outlets is woeful. Last Friday we went to lunch at Ricketts Point in Victoria where the menu had gluten free options but when questioned they fried the French fries in the same oil as normal chips which is...

I always pack my earrings in a weekly pill box, you know the ones with little marked compartments for tablets.

I use a steam mop which becomes a hand held steamer. There’s nothing it can’t clean and it removes creases from clothes.

It’s no different to train travel where this is often the set up or indeed trams and buses.

Even if you do not rate Harry then get over yourselves and support the brave souls who strive valiantly to live their lives under great duress. My husband served in the British army for 25 years and i was fortunate enough to be with him for 15 of those years. I have witnessed and been involved...
