I only answer call from numbers I recognise. If I accidentally answer a call from someone I don't know then I keep telling them to speak louder as I am partly deaf. That usually is enough to make them hang up.

The increase in age pension payments will not cover the increase in grocery prices and other essentials. Are they trying to make us starve to death so they will not have to pay us anything at all. But I bet if a crowd of us were to die the rest won't get any benefit payments from that...

I hope this lady took out citizenship in Australia otherwise she is going to find it difficult for any government department to help her.

Nantes, I wonder why???

When an old man suddenly fell ill, his family decided to send him to Florida for two weeks rest and recuperation by the sea. However, towards the end of the second week, the man's condition deteriorated and he died. His body was shipped back home nd his family gathered around the open coffin to...

Our medical clinic is entirely reliant on computers. One day about two years ago, I and many others, had appointments with various doctors on duty but the computers had crashed and we were turned away and told to go to the hospital if our condition was urgent. The doctors were in the clinic...

It really depends on the person at Centrelink that you deal with. Some are extremely helpful and some have an attitude that they are always right. I found when I lived in Lismore the staff at Centrelink were most unhelpful and had a self-righteous attitude thinking they are always right. On...

I had another email today, supposedly sent from Telstra and it certainly looks genuine except for the "from" which reads "No-reply". It says that my online payment was not successful and I need to update my details with Telstra. I had a genuine email from Telstra just days ago advising that...

Early on Monday morning I thought there was a power cut but was mistaken as when I range later to find out when the power was likely to be put back on, I was told there was no power cut. They sent somebody out to find out what was wrong and he found the padlock still in place and the lid of the...

To add to the worry of the cyclone, I had a break-in on Monday night when the intruders even took my handbag from beside my bed whilst I was asleep, containing my purse and my Pension card and Medicare card. Also my house keys and my car key. They didnt use the car key to open the car but used...

The law at the moment in NSW at least have no power to do anything to punish the children or their parents. It has been changed in Queensland recently and our local MP is trying to get it changed in NSW.

Another aspect to be considered, if drivers of large vehicles such as semis or large trucks cannot see the pedestrian, then the pedestrian should not be in that part of the road at that time. I believe if pedestrians consider the careful driver then accidents would be less likely to happen...

My wonderful Mother-in-law passed away at age 90 in her sleep. One of my grandmothers passed away during the night before her 80th birthday a year before I was born. Thats the way I want to go, peacefully in my sleep.

Luckily I had a wonderful mother-in-law. Just wish my husband had taken after his mother as her behaviour was impeccable.

I believe 30kmh is far too slow. People should educate their children, as we were, to look both ways and make sure there are no vehicles approaching before crossing the road. 40kms would be a more sensible rate than 30 kmh

Very clever, Iggydi

Thanks but it is not clothes I need. Someone broke into my house last night and I had to wait all day from being on the phone to the police for an hour from 9.00am to 10.00am before they answered and then they didn't send anyone until 4.30pm to take a statement. To add to that the forensics...

That has a certain bite to it!

Bet you found so many relatives you didn't know existed!

When I found my pipes in the house starting to back-up I rang the local plumber and he came around almost straight away to check it out. In fact it turned out that one of my lemon trees in the back garden had pushed its roots through the old sewer pipe and they then had to dig it up. For some...
