That is the problem. So many Age Care Providers `popped up` a few years ago. Easy money, ripping off Seniors. Also, I see `workers` with their Clients, and the workers are useless, not well dressed, looks like have dragged their uniform out of the bin. Also aren`t trained at all...
Same, I buy homebrand from WW, and it`s NZ butter. Even mainland soft butter is NZ. Which has only a bit of water or maybe milk whipped up in it. We used to make it in Coffee lounges I worked in. Many years ago in NZ.
Yet Councils do nothing when a neighbor and 3 houses up the road from my Granddaughter and Grandsoninlaw, complained to Council, the house behind them has grass nearly as high as fence, the house next door has rubbish, dogs, in the yard, and a broken down caravan parked on the street. The...
The general 4WD are okay but these American yank tanks are over the top. Take up 1 1/2 spaces in shopping centres, think they own the road, tail gate. I have not long ago driven from Mackay to Brisbane, and the amount of times I have slowed down in passing lanes, just so I could get...
Dates are great when on a road trip, also when I was working in the Community (Age Care), dates were a quick snack between clients. And sometimes, going over the Rostered time, and having a later lunch, kept me going.
Also it is something one was taught many years ago when answering a phone, or making a call. Also I write down the Persons` name who answers, so I can then respond when the call is finished, and thank the person.
Yes, just trying to get some refunds, re Booking.com I will be out of pocket, and will have to wear it. No more. Use their site to see what is available, then go directly to the accommodations web site. They are sometimes cheaper than these booking companies, if dealing directly as...
I have already told my Family if there is any money left when I go, good luck. While I can still drive distance, I do, and explore. I help out by house and dog sitting when My Daughter and oldest Granddaughter and Family are away. Will buy some meat, I`m Vegetarian) veges etc...
Exactly. What does it matter the colour of skin. Pakeha, Maori, Aboriginals, all fought together. I really get angry about all this segregation, as when I grew up, in NZ, our Maori Neighbors, and at school, were all our mates. My Parents were the same.
Some Age Care Homes, I have worked in a couple, and finally retired, after having to work with untrained overseas staff. Also the state of the rooms. Only cleaned about once a month, if lucky. Also, some Age Care Providers employ people who again are not trained and the dress code...
In Mackay there is a large building that belonged or belongs to a Tv (I think 10) It`s empty, and quite large. It could be opened to help the homeless. Build rooms with bunks, one for males, 1 for females, and rooms for families etc. Male and Female bathrooms, and a kitchen where they...
Even Staff of the Hospital, and other workers who work in outlying Hospitals, have to pay. It`s disgusting. I used to drop my Husband off at both Prince Charles (Brisbane) and drive up to the Church up the road, park, then walk back. Toowoomba, would do the same but park a lot further...
Also for a Carer, who is delivering a service to a Senior living in the units. They have limited time to do the service, and if have to park too far away, this causes major time problems. Especially if their next Client has an important appointment, or the Client they are attending in...
Unfortunately, a lot of these tailgaters are the big yank tanks, and they think they own the road. One can be doing the speed limit, and there is often a Y tank hooked on behind. The roads here are not designed for these monstrosities.
Yes, and Pensioners get a few miserable $`s off the rego. And as far as roads go. After Gympie, the Bruce turns to a 3rd + rate road. And roads around where I live, pot holes, which have been there for over 12 months, if a motor bike/scooter or small car hit them they would probably...
