    Mum reveals disgusting surprise from her supermarket order: 'It was just a stinking black blob'

    My brain gets more than enough exercise, but going to a supermarket is a step too far. I absolutely loathe grocery shopping so I either do click & collect or my husband goes. Ted likes to wander around looking at everything, but it really annoys me. Our ‘shoppers’ at Cole’s Woolworths are very...

    Left Behind by Design: How Unfriendly Products and Services Are Failing Older Australians

    I understand that many people either struggle with technology or really aren’t interested, but fortunately for me, I’m not one of them. I do struggle to open jars & bottles & have done for years, so it’s become Teds job! Asking for help doesn’t bother me too much because I know that after...

    Those of us who have never experienced any type of abuse can’t possibly understand can we? I’m sad that you have suffered so much & I suppose reading about others being abused causes those feelings to resurface.

    I have osteoarthritis but thankfully not in my knees, & I absolutely have forbidden it from going there!

    New camera trial aims to catch drivers in the act–are you breaking this rule?

    Years ago it was log trucks tailgating in Tassie, back in the 70’s when I used to drive a mini, it was totally scary, especially if I was on my own. I really hate it when cars behind get too close, I usually flash the brake lights a few times, scares the life out of them.

    Plummeting vaccine rates spark warnings across the country. Are you at risk?

    I tend to get vaccinated regularly but haven’t had a Covid booster yet.

    Four women speak out in chilling lawsuit against legendary performer

    I generally always believe a woman who claims she was raped, but why would you continue to return knowing what was going to happen?

    I do to Ricci. If I am shocked by the total, it’s a matter of reviewing my cart & removing stuff I really don’t need. It’s much easier to be disciplined online, isn’t it?

    Tensions hit a boiling point as Prince Harry drops a bombshell about his father’s health

    Exactly Sherril, not just Harry. People seem to forget that William also lost his mother, and being a little older, most likely had a better grasp on her mental state & everything else. Like a lot of fellow members, my feelings on the Royals are fairly neutral, I simply don’t care about any of...

    Where are we all supposed to find employment and who exactly would employ a bunch of seniors? Besides I gave up work quite a while ago & don’t think I’d have time to go back. My dear friend, who has dementia, is in respite so I’ve been hanging out at the nursing home. Monday was quiz day &...
