    Wedding Memories Competition - Share your story and you could win $100

    I'm sorry you have been so hurt, Peter. You obviously had some good times together, to get married in the first place. There is no reason to be lonely until your last breath, there are lots of other people in the world who are also lonely. Go about your day with a smile and see who smiles back!

    Wedding Memories Competition - Share your story and you could win $100

    48 years ago, at the tender age of 17, I married a man I couldn't keep my hands off! We had no money, so we hired a celebrant, I wore a dress borrowed from my sister, and we married in my parents' backyard. I've got no idea where the time went, and we've both changed a lot, but I still find him...

    Looming money overhaul spells danger for cash users! Here's what you can do

    All businesses should be required to accept cash, not just some. Sure, some items/services cost a lot, and it's unlikely that someone would pay cash, but the option should always be there.

    ‘World-leading’: new system promises to make ID verification a breeze

    I don't like digital ID at all. The old fashioned physical ID can only be stolen by one person, IN person. Digital ID is available to the world, and we know that nothing on the internet is inaccessible to hackers, no matter how much the gov and banks would have us believe otherwise.

    Are criminals warming up for the summer? Study reveals intriguing connection between crimes and the weather

    Getting cranky when you're hot is not a reason for committing crime, it's just an excuse. '...the potential criminalisation of poverty'...being poor is also an excuse, not a reason. People are not stealing bread.

    Woman Buys Hoarder Granny's House – You Won't Believe the Heartwarming Response from Strangers!

    This is only part of a story. Brandy only lived 20 minutes away from her grandmother. She could have helped Grandma clean, and sort and store her stuff, if nothing else. My first feelings upon reading this story is 'lonely, old woman' and 'neglectful, selfish child'. I might be wrong, perhaps...

    Deadly disease outbreak ignites call for rollout of new-generation solution

    I believe that, once upon a time, pharmaceuticals were truly designed to help, and a lot did and still do. But since Covid, I have seen how their primary aim now is to make money and any vaccine injuries are just 'minor' collateral damage. When I see stories of 'new' vaccines it sets my spidey...

    Is Australia ready to ditch Union Jack? Bold move that could redesign national flag forever!

    If it MUST be changed, then just remove the union jack, and make the entire flag the southern cross, which shines above all of us, regardless of our ancestry or skin colour.

    Venues across Australia spark debate by opting out of Australia Day celebrations

    Like all 'woke' movements, it's a small group with a big voice, and we all know the leaders are not doing it for the good of their ignorant followers.
