    Never ever say "Never". Life can be full of surprises in the most unexpected ways. As my bride says, "You never know what's around the corner". As I always say, "Always expect the unexpected, especially in the most unusual set of circumstances". Not knowingly, another love could well be...

    ‘There is little that can console us’: The 61-year-old who brought wild joy to generations of punters has passed

    Very sad news of Loretta Swit passing away at 87. She was certainly an iconic actress with her role in M.A.S.H.

    These homes are becoming a top choice for seniors! Would you live here?

    The posting mentions "Exit Fees & Refurbishment" costs. Well, I'll be. Those costings will be 'Killers' to any one. Friends of ours were in a similar situation, where they sought permission from management of their establishment to, at their cost, had new "Bamboo" flooring put down in the...

    An other tragic death indeed of well known young lady in her world of achievements who I've never heard of. Death by such circumstance for really good people is very tragic & sad indeed for their families & the 'World" where they partook their expertise therein.

    ‘Profound wound that cuts deep’: What Deborra-Lee Furness said about her split from Hugh Jackman

    My 1st was for 18 years. I take the blame for the breakdown. Finances are a killer for a marriage. How do the "Youngens" survive today with killer mortgages etc. ? Ours was bad enough. 2nd into 33rd, we both share the blame, with no regrets at all.

    This rare Aussie crab took 15 years to grow—a social media influencer eating it has stirred up old values

    I make a real awesome lobster mornay & also a combination seafood mornay. There's only one problem, not one, but, a hundred heart attacks in every mouthful. But, boy 'o boy, are they damned bloody good. No onion, chili or any of that other sort of garbage. Not for me. No, I'm not revealing my...
