Doesn't really bother me too much as where I live half the shoppers at any time would be barefoot, and I don't have the time or interest to be constantly upset. However, the workplace is a different matter and many if not most workplaces would have rules in place about wearing suitable footwear...

I gave up trying to organise passwords a long time ago and got a good password manager. It's so darned good that when I had a phone crash and wanted to use my new phone, I was stuck trying to organise it until I had access to my laptop! Apart from that I'm really pleased with the security the...

I would never have any kind of gum trees or other highly flammable trees anywhere in my garden. It's been known for years that many of these are a fire risk if growing anywhere near buildings due to the high oil content. There are many trees that are much less susceptible to fire and that cool...

How would we know whether or not we have been affected by this breach? I have no idea whether I might have completed whatever survey it is talking about. If it involved downloading an app then I probably didn't complete it, whatever 'it' was. Whatever, I'm sure I won't see any $$$.

I have hearing problems also being profoundly deaf in one ear and reduced hearing in the other. It is really hard trying to engage in conversation in a crowd as the background noise drowns out all the voices. I really wish I could find hearing aids that actually help with this problem. So far...

Love Ivy but agree that it could quickly become a pest here in the Australian environment. I would grow it in a pot or hanging basket and be very careful not to let it spread outside its container.

My son tested positive to meliodosis antibodies when he was tested for other infections years ago in the NT. He had never had any symptoms of it and was told he had probably been exposed to this disease and had developed natural immunity. He also showed antibodies for lyssavirus, the disease...

I've had hay fever for most of my life. I never realised that's what it was for a long time which was a bit surprising as two of my kids had hay fever as well and I always recognised their symptoms. I know I'm having an attack when I get uncontrollable spasms of sneezing and my nose runs like a...

I had a mushroom kit years ago and it grew one giant sized mushroom and a few tiny ones. Although I love mushrooms I have never foraged for them, and would never risk my health or my family's health on anything from a wild source. I know there are quite a lot of safe edible mushrooms to be...

We all had TB vaccinations at school when I was growing up in the UK. I remember being x-rayed for this as a part of the immigration process when I came to Australia in the 1970's. I also remember during the late 90's or early 2000's being tested for it as a work colleague contracted the...

I've yet to find a way to unsubscribe to Linked In. I signed up with this years ago while I was in the work force, but I'm now 81 and have been out of the work force for years. I have tried many times to unsubscribe but it seems to be impossibly difficult. I've even found instructions and advice...

Seems like another attempt to introduce 'thought crimes' into our laws. Isn't that what Communism does routinely?

I have been prescribed Pantoprazole for years and my symptoms have worsened markedly over time. My doctor is initiating investigations to determine the cause of the many digestive problems I have. Old age is probably a major cause! It is becoming harder and harder to find any treatments for...

I do the same with meat. Always on a plate so that any leakages can't contaminate anything else. I don't like bread kept in either the fridge or freezer, but for long term I think the freezer wouldbe preferable. I keep my bread in a bread bin and only buy half sized loaves. Hubby on the other...

The best explanation I have seen so far of the significance and symbolism of what happened at part of the Olympic Games opening ceremony from a Christian perspective. The explanations have been well sourced and are easily proven. https://x.com/MartynLloydIles/status/1818009058609389578 I agree...

The scammers are becoming more sophisticated over time. I remember very clearly the scammers from years ago who used to send their rubbish via fax, and maybe via teletype before that. They usually seemed to originate in Nigeria or some such place, and often told a story that was actually pretty...

I've had this message several times recently. AI seems to be targeting perfectly legitimate posts that I've shared which were appealing for signatures or funds in support of one of the charitable organisations. I guess facebook doesn't like any money going to anyone other than itself!

There's a video on U-tube showing Jamie Oliver preparing and cooking this dish. It's really good. I'm like you; I want pictures so that I know exactly how everything's done

Can someone please supply the URL for us? I'd love to try this. Pretty please?

There is only one supermarket in my remote town and all the prices are exorbitant! It is IGA which nationally has a reputation for being among those with the consistently lowest prices. However, they forgot to tell our local store about that! It is famous for having empty shelves, hardly any...
