    Nearly half of Aussies support legalising cannabis—do you?

    Good on you for speaking up. You hear stories like this about personality change, and violence from the most unlikely people. Maybe a coffee shop where they can sell their it legally . The place would stink. As I said,if you have a medical done, and they check for marijuana in your system, for...

    Nearly half of Aussies support legalising cannabis—do you?

    Another serious issue, is that in my husband’s business, employees are trained to operate heavy machinery. The law states that employees must have regular spot checks for levels of marijuana in their system. Even if they have a medical, marijuana can be still present in their system, even months...

    Nearly half of Aussies support legalising cannabis—do you?

    People use it anyway, and it’s a waste of police money chasing and arresting people who possess it. The problem is, how can we assume that driving is safe, and a legal blood limit as with alcohol. We have friends who just traveled back from holiday in the USA, and they went to New Orleans. A...

    Think you're safe? This overlooked online feature might be putting your home at risk

    You are correct. We have a security system worth $35,000 dollars. They could still use anything to break in, although I can’t see how, as we feel that they would have to be smart to physically break in. Beware the teen lurking at night wearing the trademark black hoodie! Gezzabel.

    Too much of a good thing? Aussies split on Welcome to Country ceremonies

    I now refuse to acknowledge the welcome to home crap. I refuse to stand at footy or cricket matches, while we hear out the didnerdoo playing, and the indigenous waffle we are played at these events. We have been living under one flag, the Australian 🇦🇺 flag. Why is the aboriginal flag...

    Are your cafe habits actually hurting small businesses? This viral sign has everyone talking

    It stinks! They should introduce a time limit or coupon system, for allocating a time frame to hog the seats. They don’t make it easier for them selves, when they provide power points, so some hog the seats, and charge their devices there too! All for selfish reasons, and the genuine customer...

    Are your cafe habits actually hurting small businesses? This viral sign has everyone talking

    I have to agree. Good coffee hangouts, rely on selling coffee, not selfish hogs, taking up tables, using free internet. There’s some selfish people out there, who look out for number one all the time. Unfair.

    Think you're safe? This overlooked online feature might be putting your home at risk

    I have read that simple cheap solutions can help. Gate signs saying, aggressive dog on premises. Security guards on call. Try to be creative, and think of cheaper ways to try to deter criminals. You never know. In Noosa, a new storage company has opened called “the vault “! Obviously for storage...

    A 'special' kind of price squeeze is hurting seniors... but is the extra pinch valid?

    My daughter at age 15, had the worst acne ever. Referred to dermatologist, and had to have blood tests prior, because the medication she required, can affect the liver. She was prescribed Roaccutane, and the results were miraculous! So was the dermatologist bill. Around $350.00 per visit. This...

    Scam attempt.

    I try to email them, by the email, and it bounces back every time. You can’t speak to a human. Big problem. I think I have been hacked somehow, but it is stressful to try to deal with. Thx for your kind response. Gezzabel.

    Scam attempt.

    I keep getting emails from Zip.co I dealt with them 5 years ago, but now every second day, along comes another email saying that I owe them. The debit card they refer to, was cancelled 3 years ago. Be careful everyone. Deleted the email and ignore.

    Are your everyday medicines actually relieving your pain? Here’s what recent studies say

    Problem with NSAIDS is risk of abdominal bleeding. Be careful. I have extreme pain from a spinal injury, where a lumbar spinal fusion was needed. With top hospital coverage, the surgeon charged $28,000 out of pocket expenses, and the anaesthesia was $6,500 out of pocket. The surgery was done 5...

    Unlock a Happier Life After 60: How My ADHD Diagnosis Changed Everything

    You go girl! I have ADHD too, and when I was at school, it was unheard of. I refuse treatment now, although I was on it for some time. The medication was worse than the diagnosis. As my GP said, you have come this far, and he can understand that school students may require treatment. Now my...

    Too many people with back pain call ambulances or visit the ED. Here’s why that’s a problem

    Why do people keep voting for this labour government? It’s beyond pathetic, and it’s about time Albo did his well paid job, and cut back on the airmiles, and got off his arse, and stop being buddy buddy with China, our biggest threat. He lives in dreamland. Gezzabel.

    A 'special' kind of price squeeze is hurting seniors... but is the extra pinch valid?

    Thanks for sharing. I’m sure this cardiologist will make more money, if I have a heart attack from a n account he gives me, should I need to see him again. If I need any more advice, I am going to get my GP to refer me to radiology for the echocardiogram and his rooms can easily do an ECG! I am...

    A 'special' kind of price squeeze is hurting seniors... but is the extra pinch valid?

    I had a pre operation checkup with a cardiologist, because my surgeon for a hernia repair, wanted to be thorough, because I am “66” years ancient. Never had a problem with many surgeries I have had. I had an ECG, and an ultrasound of the heart. All normal, and all eligible for bulk billing. The...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    That’s the problem. Because you don’t personally like Dutton, you are not voting for him, but you are voting for a whole political party. People forget that. People have short memories. If the Coalition government was not in excellent financial condition, the country would be like a third world...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    I like to vote for whoever is honest and doesn’t lie. Also, I prefer someone who is not a hypocrite. Albo compared himself to being a good Catholic boy, and didn’t forget the cameras when he went to Mass after the Pope died. I would have thought a good Catholic boy like Albo apparently is, would...
