    David Koch explains why younger Aussies have ‘short end of the stick’ in housing market

    I feel sorry for young Australians but David Koch don't think for one minute that we older folks haven't, in our youth, gone through the same hardships. My parents and my husbands parents struggled to make ends meet. We did too in our younger years.

    Dog owner sounds alarm over popular Kmart toy’s ‘toxic’ ingredient

    Many dog toys now have squeaky things inside. My little dachshund absolutely pulls her toys to bits. I have been concerned that she may swallow the small part, so I don't buy those any more.

    Unlock massive savings at Coles’ pre-Christmas sale!

    Coles should give discounts. I bought a Mrs H S Balls chutney in Coles yesterday for over $6 and Aldi will have it in store on Dec 27th for $3.99. Not surprising they are making huge profits from those who are struggling.

    Researchers suggest cigarette-style warning labels on meat to reduce consumption

    Sounds like a Vegan plot to me. I come from a family of butchers. We have eaten meat all our lives as indeed our ancestors did. Never in excess, but I am80 and my husband 83, who was also a butcher, and we have surprised doctors how healthy we are for our age.

    Losing it: How a simple lifestyle change helped me shed 20kg

    I believe protein is the answer with less carbs. A geriatric brain specialist my husband has just visited said that our brains are protein so as we get older and to avoid the dreaded dementia maybe protein is the answer. I love potatoes though!!!

    Save up to 24% Off Your Power Bill

    Medical practitioners tell older people to keep warm in winter and to stay cool in summer. How are we supposed to do this with power so expensive even with pensioner discounts.

    Doctor exposes foods that are not as healthy as you think

    How boring her regime is! I believe that the French drink wine, have lots of butter and cheese, eat creamy desserts, bread and still manage to have low heart disease and stay slim. Small portions of everything I think is the answer.

    Shoppers furious about Kmart’s 'age-inappropriate' book

    Kids love slightly 'naughty' things. I am a great grandmother and in my day this might have been 'shocking' but now books are written about 'snot' and 'farting' and 'poop'. Not a problem.

    Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney's spontaneous stopover at fan-created mural celebrating his music

    We are Liverpudlians. Not that fussed about Paul McCartney. Better artists came out of our city. Jerry Marsden for one. Some of the stories about Paul McCartney are not flattering.

    Are you one of the many Aussies annoyed by this common habit? You're not alone!

    People who park their trolly right next to a product you want to get and no matter how you much you have to lean over they continue to stay there. Also people who are on their phones and coming towards you. I have to say, I refuse to move out of the way and if they bump into me well so be it.

    Get FREE Grass-Fed Premium Beef For Life From Australia’s No.1 Meat & Seafood Delivery Service

    I phoned these guys and they were so helpful. I come from a butchering family and my husband was a butcher and I can tell you that Grass fed meat is far superior. Would rather pay more for something you can eat. My first box arrives tomorrow and we are pensioners so we do watch our budget.

    Australian grandmother, Galit Carbone, confirmed dead in Israel-Palestine conflict

    All violence particularly against women and children is deplorable. Unfortunately Israel has kept the Palestinians in a virtual prison for years. Many Jews sympathise with them. Many polititians say the violence was unjustified, and yes it was to the extent it was taken. However, you can only...

    Australian supermarkets making $1.2 billion yearly from wasted food, report reveals

    We are a pensioner couple and would like to see small jars of some products as often, before we use them again, they are out of date. Frozen vegies, always wih us. I have noticed some products now come in smaller packets. Sugar being one of them. Manufacturers need to realise that we are an...
