In 2012, hubby and I bought a horror house. It had been lived in by a mentally disabled man and his mentally disabled daughter. He'd inherited the house when his parents died some years earlier. He'd borrowed money against the house and never paid it back, so the financial institution had sent...

If only the Russia/Ukraine situation were as simple as Russia bad, Ukraine good.

No, he was an absolute gentleman!

My most recent bizarre dream involved me in a muddy field staying in one of several very basic wooden huts with thatched roofs. I had an open air kitchen in the middle of the mud and I was giving cooking lessons. I only had three students, but one was Gordon Ramsay! What makes this so bizarre...

I do realise my comment will be unpopular, but I feel I need to express my opinion on retirement villages. My husband and I moved into an Oak Tree Retirement Village in the Lake Macquarie area of NSW in September 2019. It was a brand new village at that time and we were among the first...

I'm a Novacastrian which is where this event occurred. I'm ashamed to say I live in the same city as the vermin who did this! Many's the morning in summer I've been woken at the crack of dawn by flocks of corellas flying over and perching in the surrounding trees to have a conversation. & I...

I live in a retirement village and our very well equipped community centre is often used by residents for family get togethers. Since the earliest days - the village is almost six years old and we've lived here since four months after it opened - most residents will leave leftovers such as...

I lived in Dorrigo during the 60s, and the town was regularly cut off from the rest of the world. The bridge at Thora, at the foot of the mountain, was underwater every time we got more than about five inches of rain. There's a new bridge now. If it wasn't the bridge going under, it was the...

Several months ago, I got an ad on one of the sites I subscribe to. I saw Paul Murray interviewing Mark Latham on Sky. The subject of the discussion was a wonderful investment opportunity Mark Latham was offering. Common sense tells you that Paul Murray wouldn't devote an entire section of his...

I worked in the medical field for 42 years, 23 years as a nurse and 19 years as a specialist medical secretary, so I know a bit about how this all works. I worked for a GP for two years, while also working for an orthopaedic surgeon. In my experience, reception staff do all the billing for...

Scammers know that basically, most people are greedy, and that's what they feed off. I've seen documentaries made by former con men, and they don't feel guilty at all. They justify their actions by saying that if their mark wasn't greedy, he/she wouldn't have been able to be scammed.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your reply.

Thank you so much Jen. Hubby and I have a wonderful adopted son who's 47 years old. He's been married for 17 years to our lovely daughter in law. They've given us our adored grandchildren, 14 and 15. It was hard to go through at the time, but it's made me both strong and empathetic, so it was...

I would have thought the clue was in the name: FOOTpath. Say what you like, ebikes are dangerous. Elderly people knocked over by these things in many cases are unable to get to their feet without help. While there is usually help available, it does something to your soul to have to rely on...

I was lucky?? to be born with two completely separate uteruses (uteri?). From the age of 12, I suffered severe period pain every four weeks, with both uteruses contracting together. It was the 50s, so knowledge of endometriosis and parental sympathy were both in very short supply. I was sent...

Sorry, but how is Trump relevant to this topic? Most people wish to have something else to think about other than him. I will say though, that if any politician would call this out for the nonsense it is, Trump would be the man.

Exactly. It's laughable. The problem is, the morons who come up with this drivel will never see how laughable it is.

Sorry, but are you reading this thread properly? The same goes for those liking your comment. I replied to a comment by MacMan, agreeing with what he said and adding some thoughts of my own. mylittletibbies answered my comment with rudeness and sarcasm. I replied with respect for her point of...

I never at any time said I don't get my information from the internet. I subscribe to several international news services, some European, others American. These news services are independent. Case in point: When Trump was serving his first term as president, he was accused of using Russian...
