    You will not believe what this stranger did after a family's car got hit!

    I always wait until the perpetrator leaves before I put a note on the vehicle. In the old days when cars had the weathershields on the two front passenger windows, people often left their windows down a little bit. It was then easy to slip a note into the car.

    ‘The most agonising pain a person could endure’: Experts rank the most unbearable pain

    I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in most of my joints, including my entire spine. I would disagree with the finding that fibromyalgia pain is worse than arthritis. I have very small hands and I often look at my fingers and wonder how something so small could generate so much pain. My...

    Woman sues famous transportation app after series of discriminatory treatment

    It's a little known fact that adherents of the world's fastest growing religion hate dogs. They regard them as unclean and would not want them in their vehicles. My husband was a crossing guard at our local primary school and it greatly amused him to watch the steps - no pun intended - taken by...

    ‘I'll slit your f******* throat’: Classroom chaos as furious parent storms school

    Our granddaughter is a sweet, quiet child, whose two favourite things are animals and sunsets. Around 18 months ago, she suddenly refused to go to school. She was in Year 8 at a state high school in NSW. The friendship group she'd had since Kindergarten told her she was no longer welcome in...

    'You don’t need to be racist': Heated exchange in public car park caught on tape

    God preserve us from going in the direction of America where a person's race and political affiliation are the standard by which they are judged.

    You will not believe what this stranger did after a family's car got hit!

    I've seen multiple incidents like this and if I've been able to get the numberplate, I've always let the driver of the damaged car know. It would never enter my head to do otherwise. What the hell is wrong with people today?!

    This Model's Olive Oil Trick Might Make You Look Years Younger - Take a Guess at Her Age!

    My forehead is completely smooth. My care worker and I had fun the other day with me trying to frown. I've never been able to frown. My cheeks are smooth, I have no wrinkles whatever. I have very fine lines at the corners of my eyes, which are hidden by my glasses, and fine lines on my top lip...

    Is This SDC's First Couple?

    Ccongratulations guys! I can now put faces to the names of two sparring partners. We don't always disagree, but it's good mental exercise when we do. I hope you'll have a great life together. All the best.

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    Oh dear, where do I start?! Back in 2016, the mere thought of Donald Trump as president of the US was horrifying. And then I started thinking. If all the mainstream media outlets are singing from the same hymn sheet, for the first time ever, and they're all turning themselves inside out to...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    There was a kerfuffle in Queensland a couple of years ago caused by a netball team in a women's competition. It had at least one biological male player. I'm not sure what became of that situation.

    Is Medicare on the brink of collapse? See how it can affect senior care soon

    Nailed it! I was nursing in the emergency ward at St George Hospital in Sydney from 1972. There was a war in Lebanon around that time and the Australian government was bringing in refugees from the area. Our workload increased considerably, not just because of the extra numbers. The reasons...

    Tributes pour in for Man About the House star Brian Murphy (92)

    What a wonderful couple George and Mildred were. I loved them in Man About the House, and then in George and Mildred. These were the days of British comedy at its best. No foul language and laughs galore.

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    And of course the French, under the command of La Perouse, arrived just three weeks after the English. If those who are ignorant of of the facts of the English colonisation - and I don't mean that in a nasty way - read contemporaneous documents written by Phillip, his officers and many of...

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    One can only assume that she doesn't know what 'pleading the fifth' means. It means refusing to answer on the grounds that you might incriminate yourself. I thought I was doing plenty of answering, but what would I know? Apparently, I'm mentally ill and in need of medication, so I can't be...

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    Oh my God, you're rambling now. If it's okay with you, I'll go along with Bess who gave me a big hug and said, 'Sister in law.' She was in my home at the time. When did the missionary era come into the current discussion? Who introduced the topic of the 'Church and State' today? I really must...

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    I'm desolated. How can I sleep tonight?! Look, I'm sorry, but I see the name 'Knell', and I can't help but wonder if he/she has the first name 'Death'. As he/she is so fond of labelling me, I think I'll call him/her 'Dymo'. Thank you for your welcome. I'm happy to join the happy, positive people.
