    Fiancé's Shocking Confession About Their Son Leaves Mum Devastated - Find Out What He Said

    Parenthood can be so hard for a lot of people. It took me a little while to bond with my son, who is my only child. The nurses said that because he was a few weeks prem I wouldn’t have been ready for his arrival. I wasn’t able to hold him for four days, & then only for a very short time. I left...

    You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

    I think I’m older than you & I’m still learning, so no excuses! I even discovered how to play Bingo this afternoon, I still can’t believe it, but I was visiting my friend who is in respite, & she was trying to play, so I took over helping her. They didn’t even give us a chocolate for trying.

    You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

    My husband often says that “we’re never too old to learn something new” it’s something we both believe in. Neither of us want to stop learning new things everyday. Good luck Ivory and please post your work when you’re finished. The undoing is part of the learning process & boy, have l done a...

    A rare glimpse into King Charles’ health journey–you won’t believe what he revealed

    I think anyone who has experienced the ghastly cancer journey, or gone there with a family member, are full of appreciation for the doctors, nurses & support staff who have been there making everything a little less scary. My husband was full of awe at the way oncology nurses & doctors were...

    Medicare urgent care clinics spark debate: Game-changing fix or temporary cover-up?

    Launceston‘s Urgent Care Clinic is working extremely well. It is set up like a mini hospital & the staff are fantastic. I have taken my friend there on two occasions and she was seen immediately. It was set up by the Health Clinic that her GP works at so records were easily accessed & treatment...

    Older Australians are also hurting from the housing crisis. Where are the election policies to help them?

    Of course the fact that the Greens & Opposition, didn’t help the matter by constantly objecting to everything when labor were trying to pass the housing bill, but you seem to have forgotten about that. Calm down Jest or you’ll do yourself an injury.

    Discrimination is alive and well. This is such a major conversation

    Thanks for the explanation Willemina. The tiles I saw were black instead of yellow, but I suppose they would alert you that something was ahead, maybe. I have seen yellow ones but can’t remember where. I’ll pay more attention next time I’m in town & if I can’t find any, I’ll contact the...

    Discrimination is alive and well. This is such a major conversation

    Hi Willemina, I was wondering how you were getting on. People walking along while on their phones are a constant annoyance to all of us but must be a total nightmare for vision impaired people. I was wondering about tactile tiles, but when I was in Devonport, on Tasmania’s north west coast, I...

    Sick of election spam texts? Here’s why you can’t block them—and what it reveals about the system

    I agree with your totally Colette. I’m so over it all & Ted & I also voted last week, besides I don’t believe anything any of them say, so it’s all wasted on me. Both major parties actually rang me on behalf of the local candidate, to ask what my concerns were. I don’t think they were expecting...

    'It felt like me': Newlywed recounts bizarre experience after sharing one wedding detail online

    Your mum sounds a bit like my mum. No black underwear under light colours, always have a long hard look in the mirror, especially your back view & so on. No black clothing either, not when you’re young. My friends mum wouldn’t let her have red shoes because only ‘loose women’ wore them, so when...

    Sick of election spam texts? Here’s why you can’t block them—and what it reveals about the system

    I’m totally over the constant messaging from the pitiful Trumpet party. At least Liberal & Labor had the good sense to stop at one each. Just got another one as I’m typing. Please someone make it stop! Can we petition someone? Even if I was inclined to vote for the trumpets, the constant...
