What a remarkable woman was Agnes Keleti. I was amazed when I read of her exploits during the war & the way she avoided the Nazi round-up of Jews. Then to come back to compete in Olympic gymnastics in her 30s!!! I would have loved to meet & talk with her.

A passport is hardly an essential document for the majority of us. It is only essential if you can afford to travel overseas.

We don't need to invest these millions of $$$s into road safety programmes; we need to invest them into road improvements especially in regional areas. Our roads are very poorly maintained with potholes appearing all the time & often taking weeks to repair & meanwhile causing damage to cars...

If I were invited to a birthday party & told that they wanted cash gifts not normal "gifts" then I would most likely decline to attend. I feel that if they are easking for cash then the amount expected would probably be above my budget but I could buy a nice gift that would fit my budget. As...

Unfortunately these cameras, or the people (? AI) that check them, do not always get it right. I have seen photos where someone got fined for not using a seatbelt & clearly both the driver & passenger had their seatbelts on & correctly positioned. In view of this, I am seriously considering...

If only I could understand all this new technology. I am so lost with it which I didn't think would ever happen to me. Just use cash & then I don't have to know what they are asking me to do.

Prices have risen in local coffee shops & pubs so why should the MCG be any different? Apart from that, I would always take my own snacks & drinks as I would not want to have to join a long line waiting for food or drink & missing out on watching the cricket.

I have never bought a bag at any supermarket. They have always been priced in with the cost of products & are just another way supermarkets make exorbitant profits. When they said they were stopping free bags & we would have to purchase bags from them, I went into action & made a stack of bags...

While I agree that the price is exorbitant, I did a quick think about what else they have to cover. They need to cover themselves for business insurance, sickness time, holidays, worker's comp insurance, superannuation. These costs are all borne by the employer for most people but for those...

Thankfully I am not your mum. Please do not address me as such.

If you are referring to the Govt Home Care programme, you will get a sh*t job from them. They are not allowed to move anything - dining room chairs from around the table to enable vacuuming under the table, a column heater on wheels, behind the doors, dirty laundry basket in bedroom. I had a...

There is no collecting of firewood in National Parks near me. You can buy it in the closest town from people who have collected it legally - usually from their property or friends' properties.

I guess you do not live in any of the affected areas. Wild pigs around here are extremely common. Mozzies are not too bad at the moment but any more rain & that could change quickly. If you don't care if you get this dreadful disease from mozzies then that's your choice; but please don't...

Because I know about the mozzies & heartworm, that is why I wondered about this disease - IF it is transmitted by mozzies. I understand that it is a big IF at the moment but I think it is better to over-protect my 4-legged babies if there is even a possibility that they will find the...

I'm concerned that this disease, if carried by mozzies, could it also be transferred to domestic animals? Is there any recorded incidents of this happening? If so, where & to which animals.

My neighbour regularly leave their trailer parked across the footpath. Meanwhile they consider themselves the police of the street & report anyone else who they consider does the wrong thing.

or a kangaroo. While they do move, they generally find a way to move in front of a moving vehicle & that would almost certainly mean death to this crazy bike rider.

I also had them as a child. Most adults & all children should now have been vaccinated against this virus which would make them immune to the disease. This is the reason compulsory vaccination of ALL children should be mandated by law. It is ridiculous that some parents can choose not to...

I'm not panicking. I had measles as a very young child so I'm immune. Plus, if you have been vaccinated you are protected. It's only those who have refused to be vaccinated or have their children vaccinated that have to worry. As I said before, it's only the anti-vaxers who need to be worried.

If your child is vaccinated then you don't have to worry about it. It is only the anti-vaxers who have to worry when any virus is brought into the country by overseas travellers.
