Although some people disagree with the information, it is good to be kept informed just to be on the look out just in case. No information about viruses around and what to look for then people will complain they were not informed. My advice is if you do not want the information don't open or...

When I was in hospital last year I looked forward to my Arnotts biscuits each afternoon with a cup of tea. Since I have returned home they have become a stable each day. They included the 'Nice' and the 'Scotch Finger'. Brought back memories of childhood. But they do not taste the same. My...

I worry about what is in our foods. As the large supermarkets are taking over our food supply and looking at ways of increasing their profits and doing away with the little guy competition of the local butcher, who knows what we are getting in our foods. Our local butcher who had the best meat...

I always used to use cheques to pay bills like electricity etc. I have changed to electronic means as my bank has done away with cheques. I worry about using internet banking with all the scams. I was locked out of my account this week due to a possible scam. I had to ring the bank on was put...

She was such a character with a positive funny outlook to everything. She was such an entertainer. What you saw is what you got. The supermarket where I worked part time was were she did her shopping. Jeannie's final years with dementia was such a sad end for someone as witty, funny, vibrant and...

Rescue dogs are so special. We have had two so far and have been the most beautiful dogs who appreciate their new home and new beginnings and are grateful. They both were the most loveable little gentlemen who were both seniors when we adopted them. They brought us such joy to know that we were...

I saw this program. The transformation was phenomenal and the engagement of the residents brought life and joy into the nursing home. All of the initiatives were simple but had so much impact. The hardest part is change and getting everyone out of the rut and sameness and looking at something...

Lots of cost rising every where and it is sneaky. Each week I buy the same products and have just watched the prices rise weekly. It is becoming ridiculous. It is not competition for best price any more. My Foxtel bill today came with a huge $36.00 rise, something I probably will not be...

Between our two next door neighbours we have an agreement that we can use each others' bins for overflows. We also bring each others' bins in each week. It works well for us helping each other out as neighbours with respect.

Health care has become a big business all about bottom line and profit owned by multi-nationals. The notion of care and providing a service for its patients (customers) is not as important as to the profit margin that procedures can produce for the business. This is what we have to deal with -...

We used to get a dozen (box) delivered each week from Crystal Soft drinks and then Berts when they stopped delivering. There was a variety of different flavours. We were a bit spoilt as kids. Nothing like today.

I would not read too much into this. As was said there are good days and bad days. If this were an evening event it is understandable that by the end of the day the fatigue sets in. Let's celebrate her recovery and give the Princess of Wales time to recover - it is a long journey.

Good idea with the stick on signs. We face this dilemma most weeks.

Maybe a solution to completely shutting down the bank is to have the bank on reduced hours or days. Maybe open two or three days a week rather than full time. This maybe a solution for cutting cost but also providing a service to the local community.

We are lucky. We have a lovely lady who delivers our parcels from Australia Post. Nothing is a problem for her. She is always polite and shows that she enjoys her job. Her respect and care for her job is rare these days as shown with the comments above.

What a great initiative. I have been placing these just in the bin and feel guilty for doing so. I will be recycling these from now on, now that I know. It is hard some times to know what is recyclable and what is not.

As seniors in NSW in Sydney we are able to have a gold opal card which entitles us to travel on public transport for a maximum of $2.50 a day. We visit the city for day outings often and as we are not as mobile as we used to be, we take advantage of this, using the train from home and using the...

How cute. I have a little orange sable Pom like in the picture who is also very cute. Little dogs have such fun personalities.

I remember using these - it is how we learned to add up, subtract, multiply and divide. Would you believe I still have my set that my parents bought to help with homework. They were a great simple tool to help you learn maths in primary school. Maybe they should be re-introduced and then the...

This may be a good way to get the teachers, nurses, doctors, emergency service personnel and other professions that we need to cater for the shortfall in employment numbers here!
