    Politician shocks radio hosts with lifelong avoidance of popular drink: 'I just can't'

    Neither my hubby and I drank, with the exception of a weak shandee on a stinking hot summer day. Didn't miss a thing. We stopped social drinking when the booze bus came in. Even then, it was hardly what one would call drinking. Then, we would sit and watch people change as they progressed...

    Transform your life like this woman did at 60. Here's her empowering tale

    Wow. This would be one amazing lady to have in your corner. She's a super star.

    'A business plan': Is their 61-year age gap love genuine or just for money?

    Picture the conversation. I love you but can't be with you because of the dates you and I were born. Goodbye. Harsh isnt it. Shouldn't happen. If you love each other, everyone else can go hell. They are 2 consenting adults. Nobody else's business. Only thing, if one doesn't want negative...

    Are you driving in this Australian state soon? These new road cameras can hit your wallet hard!

    First sentence ... New Australia. Nice place for a holiday? Now the concept is hardly new. If you don't speed in between cameras, nothing to worry about. If you do, naughty, naughty.

    Teen with no vaginal opening gets pregnant after a stabbing incident—doctors weighed in

    I am pausing for a bit to wonder how normal bodily functions, like wee and monthlies found their way out. I find this extraordinary. So much for the theory that no in and out = no pregnancy.

    ‘Just googled vabbing and now I wish I hadn’t’: Why this trend has people disgusted

    Wouldn't be very perfumey after a feed of asparagus. The mind boggles.

    Comedian falls flat after his debut on Channel 10: 'This gets worse and worse by the second'

    So many are quick to judge. I like Sam and there were bits if the show I found entertaining. It's not cookie cutter. I feel he will shake off the nerves and get in to enjoy it in his Sam way.

    Residents demand immediate action as retirement dream turns into nightmare

    This kind of thing is exactly why we decided to aim for aged care at home, in a house we built as age friendly. My Johnny was very, very ill for many years, but, he was content here. His aged care package allowed us to have everything he needed to keep him comfortable. He loved the extra...

    Reality tv.

    I have only one thing to say. I am so glad I have a direct line to the God of the remote control.

    'Give the man a break': Man's candid revelation sparks discussions among Aussie workforce

    I cant believe he divulged how wealthy he is. I would have told the interviewer to stick the none of their business question in the nearest opening that will need an endoscope to retrieve it. I too am of the old school. We worked hard until we saved enough to buy a block of land. No 1st home...

    The sunglasses problem no one is talking about: Could it be affecting you too?

    I dont have problems, except if they are polarised. I have to wear prescription, so, don't buy them very often. I can only have tinted because polarised cuts my view of the dash board, the heads up display, and if I wear them going down stairs or levels, I lose all perception of depth. Nearly...

    Competition: Download and rate the SDC app, and you could win $100

    Now that I have used it a bit, I still like the www style as I offer most of my gems of wisdom on a desktop or tablet. Actually, it's good having both. When I was awaiting an appointment today, I clicked into it. Much better than a 3 year old magazine.

    Transform your autumn wardrobe with this $80 find from Target!

    I was thinking of something in the lines of Gestapo interrogator. Not really an Aussie kind of thing. I cannot count the number of places that would start to sweat under that plastic number.

    'I can't get that out of my head': This bride-to-be's wedding song choice is uniquely Aussie!

    My hubby and I danced to Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific. That's how we met, eyes meeting in a crowded room and he asked me to dance. Awww ... it was lovely. On another topic, my sister has a chosen song to play when her coffin goes through the curtain at the crematorium. Chim...

    Experts warn: stop using this $6 Coles trick for waste disposal, big risk involved!

    Oooh, that sounds nice. I wouldn't mind a weekly visit from a bin de-stink crew. I do think the hose out is good enough, but, I like the idea of bin pixies paying me a regular visit too.

    Woman steps into shower, stumbles upon horrifying discovery instead

    Might be my warped mind, but I find this kind of amusing. It's just a mushroom, not toxic waste. Just take the social media beg for fame photo then get rid of the bleedin thing. Mind you. If I had something like that grow in my shower, I would wonder what aperture the spore came from, and how...

    ‘Please be more considerate’: The photo that has Melbourne shoppers fuming

    I am one of those people. I looked and looked for a free disabled park. There were 20 spots for YOUNG mums and 6 for disabled. There was no choice for me than to park in a YOUNG mum's spot. Nothing stopping them from walking further, and, no real reason why there are so many of their spots...

    Footy fans celebrate price drop on stadium favourite but brace for increases elsewhere

    My A League, Newcastle Jets, games are always accompanied by the best Sushi I have ever eaten. No cheaper than other sushi outlets, but no more expensive. I have 2 prawn rolls every time I go there. It's just a little kiosk run by a sushi outlet that operates at the local shopping centre. They...
