    The POOPS (Pets of Older Persons) team out and about on Easter Saturday!

    Love. Love. Love this! I am an avid senior dog collector via rescue! I see so many beloved dogs being surrendered due to their owners not being able to take care of them any longer. It’s a heartbreaking situation for both pupper and owner and we need POOP’s program Australia Wide!! I can’t thank...

    Shocking sight at Vinnies has Aussies outraged

    Always. Even when they have signs up asking them not to leave donations unattended as it’s classed as littering. It can also be a potential hazard for pedestrians, elderly, disabled, etc depending where the store location is

    I love Aldi 😂 however without being able to drive at the moment and not being able to catch public transport because of anxiety, I’m kinda stuck. Definitely going through Aldi withdrawals

    Transform your $60 grocery haul into 3 gourmet dinners—here’s how!

    Until we move to a bigger house and I move my belongings down from Orange to Sydney, buying in bulk is difficult. My partner only has a small bar fridge and I need to defrost the teeny freezer before I can fit anything in it. But I’m still unsure about trusting freezing meat products, etc. He is...

    ALDI's card surcharge sparks concerns among shoppers

    100% correct about the ATMs not belonging to banks. I have a friend who works as an ATM technician for ITS. A division of Armaguard, who are owned by Linfox. They have also just obtained Armaguard’s main competition, Prosegeur. Each company had their own technicians etc but seeing the havoc and...

    ALDI's card surcharge sparks concerns among shoppers

    You can also choose your cheque account if you have one of those. Anything that is NOT credit, should not be charged ☺️

    ALDI's card surcharge sparks concerns among shoppers

    The fees are not new for using credit cards, etc. they have always displayed notices on the eftpos machines and at the checkouts. I’m only aware of this as I mostly use eftpos for my cheque account through my bank. I don’t feel safe carrying cash these days! I have always inserted my card...

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Password Managers – Do We Need Them?

    I would lose the book constantly! I lose my glasses and spend an hour looking for them… usually when I’m wearing them! I have my passwords in a note on my phone which I need my password to access. But on my computer I have Sticky Password from Ashampoo. I’ve never had an issue with it

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Password Managers – Do We Need Them?

    I use many software programs from Ashampoo. I have their pw manager and have had for years. Their customer service is great. They are based in Europe so don’t let that discourage you to use them! You can also earn points with your purchases which helps towards other full version software you...

    The Baby-Sitters Club novels

    My parents would wrap Christmas presents the same for my older brother and I. One year he talked me into opening a present from under the tree. He had been asking for a boat to go fishing in and I don’t even remember what I wanted that year. We opened the presents and he had a toy boat, I had a...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    100%. I see my parents struggling with their mortgage that should have been paid off years ago. My dad is a Vietnam Veteran and if his payments are increased even by a few cents, my mum’s age pension is cut by dollars! My mum was a nurse for over 40 years until her health deteriorated. Dad was...

    Is the era of smoking coming to an end with this new legislation? Tobacco industry set for a seismic shift!

    100% agreed. We are treated worse than lepers for smoking. By being a conscious person who won’t smoke near others, indoors and I too carry my own little ashtray, can they not see it’s our pockets their excess tax comes from and we aren’t drinking and driving or drinking and getting violent or...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    I was watching a YouTuber that my partner follows (because he was going to adopt another dog, wouldn’t watch it otherwise 😂) and he and his wife needed to drive from south London up to Wales. The Tesla he was driving didn’t even last the distance the company claimed it does. It fell about 100km...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    It won’t even save consumers on sanitary products! They’ll just keep the prices up anyway and keep the profits

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    Complete joke. The big companies won’t care. How about the government fixes the pension issues. How are politicians so stupid??
