    MOM'S DINER

    Remember it well. And the one about starving children in Africa would love what I wouldn't eat. I often wondered how she could possibly know what they would like, or why my dinner would be to their liking. I guess the message was; if you're hungry you would eat anything put before you. I still...

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

    Thank you for posting this. Most of us are totally ignorant about how visually impaired manage to navigate the environment outside their homes. I have seen some of these tactile tiles in some places here in Melbourne but will be checking to find oil many places are without them and shall report...

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

    I have seen them in Melbourne. The lift buttons have then in our block, which is good knowing we have at least one visually impaired resident here, that I know of. It has me wondering if there are more where needed at crossings, I know realised tram stops have them but not sure about others...

    From the Experts: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

    Don't be sorry for making such a clear case about mistreatment of your husband, others may find it helpful in seeing it's not them but the system that has let them down. Thank you for sharing. It's good that you can now enjoy your time together doing what works for you both.

    Woman's shocking beach encounter leaves her questioning safety

    At age thirteen I was approached by a man who said he couldn't read and could I find an address for him. I took the paper he was holding and told him he was in the wrong street, and was about to direct him to the address when he moved his coat and exposed himself. I slapped him on the face then...

    ‘They’re already struggling’: New changes to aged care spark fear among families

    I have tried three different ones but not yet found one that is enjoyable to eat. I now buy from small local shops happy to have your custom, most will last for two meals, some I can get three from before they become soggy. To others struggling to understand how to get through the system: Do...

    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    That would mean another five percent on what we all buy because most items have GST on them. There's very little that doesn't have GST on it, so that is going to make everyday things cost us more. And we already can expect a price hike because of Trump and his tarrifs, companies will not absorb...

    Elderly woman’s trust shattered in shocking sexual assault by man pretending to be a helper

    In Victoria sexual assault does not mean rape, rape means rape. I was not aware of this until someone else pointed out it was rape. Here sexual assault means touching inappropriately. Now that I have researched that I know it means different things in each state. Having had been sexually...

    Elderly woman’s trust shattered in shocking sexual assault by man pretending to be a helper

    Not in Victoria, it is still called rape if there is penetration. I live in Victoria, and know that sexual assault covers touching without penetration etc., but was unaware that other states have different terminologies, of which I have mow made myself aware.

    Elderly woman’s trust shattered in shocking sexual assault by man pretending to be a helper

    It states "sexually assaulted" although that's bad enough. It doesn't say she was raped.

    Elderly woman’s trust shattered in shocking sexual assault by man pretending to be a helper

    It looked, to me, that the trolley had very little in it, which makes me wonder why she wasn't suspicious of his offer to help. Perhaps she has the beginnings of dementia or alzhiemer's, though there's no mention of that. But why did it take her to 5.40pm before she "managed" to contact...

    Garden nightmare highlights risk to backyards in growing neighbourhoods

    It is a mixer set up in all but one sink. The problem was hot water from all taps, cold only for few seconds then turned scalding hot. As I said the pipes were the wrong way round, it took plumbers seven and eight to work it out. They also turned the thermostat down a bit, after the overseer...
