    Sam Neill reveals the iconic Aussie film role he rejected and his shocking chemo journey—could this have been avoided?

    There has always been something special about Sam Neil that lasts. He is a fine, versatile actor, not a showman. I consider if a role is refused it is not for the actor to start with no matter the success and results. Hindsight is pointless. He does not exaggerate any of his real-life 'hardships...

    Discover the Incredible Innovation Helping Disabled Women Take Back Their Dignity Every Day!

    I had my bras brought out from the US as my 'size' needs specially made to fit orders at a huge cost. I had one that hooked between the boobs but never liked it. I think best for those with smaller to normal sizes and the velcro idea sounds wonderful as I am sure it would be secure and not...

    Surging aged care prices create unexpected living costs—find out why!

    I agree with your rant like my own GrannieCaz...our words are read here, the politicians are impervious to real-life conditions once they are elected, they do not want to recognise the circumstances so many are forced to live despite contributing the same tax whether they had enough to save...

    Surging aged care prices create unexpected living costs—find out why!

    I have noticed the bi-monthly 3/4 hour Home Care cleaning fee has yet again increased and the service is nowhere as efficient as it once was. I feel I could almost do it myself better, however, to lose this service also would not bode well for my over 85 so far mainly 'independent' status. I...

    The truth about supermarket meat that will make you want farm-to-plate today!

    Big change at Coles: Bulk buys introduced, staples removed—how this affects your shopping!

    Most food sales on the markets are things are just calorie-loaded junk food lacking in good nutrients and sadly set the path for those to be conditioned to buy them. If they advertised fresh fruit, veggies and obvious essentials I wonder if they would sell as well as all the overproduced...
