I have an 80-year old friend and ex-workmate who has recently had to put her husband into a care facility because of quite advanced dementia. He used to do all the accounts and business side of things in their home. She is totally overwhelmed now with what to do, where to go and how to navigate...

I agree 100% with your comments about people from non-English speaking countries who are unable to navigate the language barrier and also the elderly who have never had to use computers or have not been exposed to modern technology. We should not be forced to used technology to the same extent...

Oh, Colette I honestly sympathise with you. I am in the same league as you. I am terrified of birds also and outdoor cafes are never the ideal place to take me - alert every second with my legs and feet working all the time to keep them away.

Did you say ‘Don baby’ - more like DON-A-IDIOT or BRAINLESS DON.

No, they do it because they are, plain and simple, STUPID IDIOTS with nothing better to do and too much time on their hands to go through, perhaps a dictionary, and pick out words that refer to genders, and come up with these words. Let’s then start calling men the ‘inseminators’ because...

I’m not getting into the science debate because it was a subject I hated at school back in the late 50s. However blowing up a balloon yourself does not keep it aloft like the other gas would and perhaps the party-goer wanted one aloft but possibly used the wrong gas or it was too near an open...

In another of today’s SDC articles on CL’s incompetence I have commented that that department needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom. It seems to be in one hell of a mess. Thank goodness I do not need to have anything to do with them.

What a mess this department seems to be in. Perhaps it might be time for someone, somehow, to get and disclose Hank Jorgensen’s email address - all those waiting can then bombard him with emails about their accounts within that system. But, hey, that email address must have a freeze on it for...

You are not being unreasonable if you have already made the request to her and she won’t co-operate. Just keep shoving her bin and dirt back onto her driveway or property. And if her bins are left even a foot out on council property on days that are not your collection day then a complaint to...

As of writing this on Friday at 6pm the cyclone is ‘predicted’ to cross between Brighton and Woody Point area of Brisbane. Looks like Alfred wants to do a tour of southern Queensland as he doesn’t want to come ashore and settle in just yet! I live in Brisbane about a 15 minute (& 15-20kms) drive...

Dr brother-in-law advised brother, my husband, to use magnesium spray on severe muscle spasms which he gets at night and they are very painful - seems to work for him.

Wanted wooden patio posts replaced recently in my Brisbane home with metal ones. Used a genuine (& well-known) site that refers 3 tradies to contact you. One of them did but when I asked if he had a registered QBCC licence number I never heard from him again! Probably would have also wanted...

Desperate Bessie!!

No, I wouldn’t let them use my marital bed and bedroom. That is our private place and in this person’s case they should be considerate of that. If she’s slept on your sofa before she can do it again and he can use the spare bedroom if his snoring disturbs her. Or putting earplugs in her ears is...

Nice looking monument in their own yard but quite large. I don’t know anything about needing council approval to build it though because it is not a house and there could be rules. We didn’t get permission to erect a small shed in our backyard for mower etc in Brisbane but needed permission to...

Yes, like the rest of them that voted for him a second time after the stupidity of his first term.

Huh ??

Not my wallet, ever. Never paid one single fine in 80 years. Prices rise every day but so do wages, although probably not as fast. That is life and, I’ve said it many times before, governments do not have bottomless money pits. Everyone has to pay taxes to support our lives to an extent.

Was it said in jest? No, it was not - check out the quote in Veggiepatch’s comment further on and the actual words quoted in the Channel Nine report. This moron said, to a person who was trying to stop him, that he was going to continue what he was saying, so it is not in jest AT ALL. He is...
