    Is humming healthy? Mmm, here’s what the evidence says

    To you perhaps, but we are not all alike. I was interested in the article as I know someone who hums and is concerned about the effects on others. Just dont read it.

    I'm not put off by blemished bananas, but those hard green ones leave me shuddering.

    Can we cut road deaths to zero by 2050? Current trends say no. What’s going wrong?

    Not likely. You only have to spend some time driving on freeways (I'm in Melboure) and the way some people drive is absolutely astounding. They dont cause accidents but only out of good luck, not good driving.

    This powerful reminder about road deaths is hidden in a Christmas tree

    Such a devastating way to lose a loved one. A little more patience, a little less speed and give yourself enough time to get where you are going and learn to drive the road conditions, and hopefully next year will be a whole lot better. It needs to be. Stay safe on the roads everyone.

    Woman fined $302 for this ‘bizarre’ driving mistake

    With power steering in todays cars, why do you need to drive over these things. And corner cutting makes me crazy. Drive a metre further on and turn in your own lane. That's why the lines are there. Not hard people.

    Coles employee reveals what their ‘disappointing’ Christmas gift is from the company

    It is true that companies dont need to give christmas gifts to their employees but this is a gesture to say thanks. One year the supermarket I worked for gave all team members, those they managed to come across when working, a packet of mince tarts, their own brand. I would have been happier...

    Last Stop Larrimah (2023)

    An interesting place to live. Would not be everyone's cuppa. Not sure I could live in a town with only 11 people. Think it is pretty obvious who commited the crime, but none of them are talking and hard to prove when the town is so torn over everything. A very elderly population so not sure...

    Online grocery bulk buying: Can we save more?

    My issue with buying from Catch is their high delivery costs. Unless you join their buying scheme, which costs you each month, you pay delivery. When you add that onto the purchase may not always be cheaper. Just my opinion.

    Meta tackles scams head-on by verifying Instagram and Facebook business accounts

    This is the responsibility these sites should have been taking for a long time. They have the technology, they just dont want to do anything about it. And lots of other large companies, including the banks, should be trying to do the same.

    Poll estimates 2.4 million Aussies resorting to theft over financial woes amid cost-of-living crisis

    Stealing is not the answer. I have been in very tight financial situations, but never resorted to stealing. I just made sure that there was enough of the basics to get by. Some of this stealing is for products that we can really do without, if you get yourself organised.

    Kmart's controversial solution to checkout woes: A first look at the Melbourne store trial

    There will never be system that everyone agrees with. It seems that being negative and critical is the new norm. These stores try to make the experience acceptable for most people but it wont ever happen. And I dont like the central register system either, but that's their business to try new...

    Here’s what you should do if your gas meter reading is wrong

    I had my gas meter changed over a while ago, without any notification. They had turned off the meter and not turned it back on. I only found out when I went to have a shower, and the water was cold. Thought my hotwater had broken, but when I checked the meter, it was off. Then had to redo...

    Here are seven Kmart items you’ll surely love this holiday season!

    That's the road I am thinking of going down too this year. I never seem to get it right and apart from the little grandies, the older ones would prefer 'cash'. A world I wasnt going to enter, but it's just getting too hard.
