    So much and so true. Some of Dr Al’s comments ring true for so many.

    Shoppers flock to Coles as long-awaited $2 favourite finally returns to shelves

    Every Hass we’ve ever bought has some bad brown parts inside. We don’t buy Hass any more. Shepard is our choice now. Funnily enough I don’t like to eat avocado (just as I don't like eating a fried or boiled egg if the yolk is even a little soft) but I like avocado dip!

    WATCH: 90-year-old grandma's fiery reaction to fashion trends

    Not just a husband’s wish that one shows her legs - these days it’s more than showing one’s legs. The younger generation now don’t need a husband to suggest they show their legs - they show off way more than legs. No self respect.

    Is your retirement fund safe? One Aussie lost $50,000 overnight

    I have (first) cousins living in America. Actually 2 out of the 5 were born in the same country I was born in and the other 3 were born in the USA. Unfortunately, there are only 2 still living and they have been there since the late 50’s and we keep in touch very frequently. They have nothing...

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

    I agree with what you’ve said. It’s now not a ‘size’ value any more; down-sizing isn’t necessarily going to give you extra money in your hands. My husband & I are fortunate to have owned our 4-bedroom low-set brick home outright since early 1990. Our 3 children had left home by the late 90s...

    Is your retirement fund safe? One Aussie lost $50,000 overnight

    Absolutely agree with you Suzanne. Our Super has also gone down in the vicinity of $30,000 plus and there is little we can do but wait for this ‘global downturn’ to right itself and for that dumb idiot who is pulling the strings of the world in the wrong direction to come to his senses. He...

    Are these pests invading your home? Expert shares tips on how to stop them from infiltrating your abode

    I believe it would be almost impossible to prevent them using these ‘highways’ from outside your house and your garden, because at least here in Brisbane every house that is built at ground level must have ‘weep holes’ at ground level or a brick above. How would it be possible to stop these...

    'Are you a f******* idiot?': Police officer slams driver in one heated clash

    I’m with you on this - police are constantly having to go to road crashes because of idiots driving on our roads. P-platers (as well as fully licensed drivers with many years behind them) constantly push in. Police get frustrated with so many idiots doing the wrong thing over and over again. It...

    Woman's shocking beach encounter leaves her questioning safety

    I am a female but too many women are wearing shorter and skimpier clothes these days. Just take a look at what is being worn at the beach - the ‘bikini’ is so skimpy around their bottoms that the whole rump hangs out, the front barely covers the pubic area, the bikini top just covers their...

    Discover the life-changing reasons why moving to the countryside could be the best decision you'll ever make!

    But then, we will need to have all the facilities like banks, shops, doctors & hospitals near enough - so there goes any advantage of living in the country. It will eventually become more populated and everything & everybody will still complain that there are not enough facilities and they have...

    Are Your Reusable Water Bottles and Plastic Containers Harming You? Scientists Unveil Shocking Health Risks!

    Can you still buy Milton? Haven’t heard it mentioned or even seen it in years. My 56, 54 & 50 year old children’s feeding bottles were all sterilised with Milton. I don’t know how modern day mothers sterilise baby bottles (or do they?)

    Shocking discovery: Find out what a popular Chinese restaurant was actually serving instead of roast duck!

    It’s got nothing to do with us in Australia but IT IS AN ITEM OF NEWS and also reminds us that anywhere in the world - and even in Australia - these things happen. News is part of what SDC gives us daily. If you don’t want to read what is going on around the world then close your eyes and don’t...

    More scam emails

    Not expecting a msg, not waiting on government money, haven’t bought anything & waiting on delivery - then delete. These scammers use all sorts of ways to scam and they will do it not just to one person but to multiple people to see which person will ‘fall for it’. That’s how they work so just...
