    Are you making these critical mistakes in a medical emergency? Doctors share must-know tips!

    Calling 000 is the common sense here - it is not taking a person to hospital yourself just because the hospital is close. If we call 000 and accurately explain all the symptoms the patient is experiencing the call takers know what it might be. They will then dispatch an ambulance ASAP if it is...

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    He is actually on the site of this article but I refrain from naming him with his code name. I’m sure he knows who he is.

    Transform Your Weeknight Dinners with this Mum's 'Genius' Meal Planning Secret!

    I too have many, many recipes on my computer (backed up frequently). And they are in categories like chicken, beef, main meals, desserts, cakes, etc. I only download what I like & those with the least ingredients and uncomplicated to make. What about the common sense we all have and can use...

    Are you making these critical mistakes in a medical emergency? Doctors share must-know tips!

    Ambulances and their paramedics are an essential service, however, these two things cannot just appear. Governments can provide the ambulances reasonably quickly but they cannot provide the paramedics needed to staff the vehicles. I’ve said it before - paramedics, doctors, nurses all have to...

    Young family loses $2,300 during a national emergency! What happened?

    Emergencies happen & the car rental, hotel etc should not expect their customer to bear the brunt of something that is not their fault and absolutely unavoidable & out of their control. The money some companies make in profit is what should be used to cover this. The company has, or at least...

    Moms protest widespread demand for kid-friendly plane toilets: 'Can I start a petition?'

    Love your comments about the extras that people (no, the influencers!) are expecting to be included. Mother, act as a responsible adult. Do your motherly duties and take your child to the toilet just before boarding - don’t expect the airlines to pander to your whims. Use common sense & don’t...

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    I wouldn’t bother connecting with a certain member on this site who thinks he knows everything about everything and thinks he’s always right. Don’t reply to him, people. He’ll fall flat on his face one day!

    Mum recalls daughter's 'very traumatic' experience with this Kmart product! What happened?

    More influencers getting their picture on social media! Why does a 13 year old need a face wash? Plain water (or some soap) and a good rub with the hands should suffice. I do feel for this young girl who must have been in a lot of pain, but did she need a face wash at such a young age? Some...

    Moms protest widespread demand for kid-friendly plane toilets: 'Can I start a petition?'

    Too many young ‘Influencers’ today!! Go in with her, if there is a provided child seat put it over the large adult ‘hole’ and hold on to her while she does whatever is necessary. No child seat, then stand in front of her and hold on to her. A mother’s presence in the toilet will help with the...

    Can the United States affect your nest egg now? Here's what experts say!

    Especially with their ships circling Australia - wonder what they’re secretly surveying.

    Can the United States affect your nest egg now? Here's what experts say!

    And his sidekicks of all offices with their smirky, silly grins every time the top idiot says something. Thank goodness we do not live there but we must also be careful we do not follow their ways.

    Investigation uncovers hidden danger in kid's video—can you spot it?

    If one was holding the tail end and the other the head end, it’s probably safe to say it was dead (most probably killed by the children themselves) but that is definitely not behaviour we can condone.

    Warning: Scam Phone call - 0459085888 of Telstra

    Husband’s brother-in-law used to blow his trumpet (literally his trumpet) into the phone when it was an unknown caller!!! Must try that with my Canadian train whistle sometime!

    Would you have spotted the warning signs? The scam that almost cost a man $440,000

    We will all get old in time so I don’t think any of us should be calling another ‘stupid’ due to their actions at such an advanced age - less rude language could have been used instead. Yes the high return was definitely a huge red flag - you’re lucky if you can get anywhere near 5% or a little...

    Service NSW will not provide phone support to the elderly-

    No, you will not be shot down by this member. My knowledge of technology is reasonable and I can navigate the internet to a point that suits my needs but I will not put WhatsApp, Facebook, etc on my phone or computer - to me they are unnecessary and I don’t NEED or WANT them. Also as we age and...

    'Take me to jail!': Entitled Spirit Airlines passenger gets what she wished for

    I believe, having worked in admin for police for 14 years, that we can be just a bit too lax at times with how we arrest some of the very severe criminals who’ve done some horrible crimes. Look at how the Americans handcuff their arrested people - behind their backs, not in front as ours do...

    Service NSW will not provide phone support to the elderly-

    Thank you. I do understand and agree immigrants should have a reasonably good command of the language of the country they immigrate to in order to obey signs, rules etc., make themselves understood as well as accept that they are the ‘outsiders’ to that country and therefore should obey all...
