So a mother is a 'person who gave birth to the child'. As an adoptee, where does that leave me? The woman I called Mum for 62 years wasn't my mother according to this dill. To make matters worse, my only child is adopted, so I guess, having not given birth to him, I'm not his mother. Do these...

It occurs to me that Labor may well be shooting itself in the foot with this importation of Muslim migrants. If Fatima Payman has anything to do with things, there'll be a Muslim Party up and running, if not this election, certainly the next one. Albanese is totally unable to see past the end...

Thank you. There's a 24 year age gap!

I'm guessing he was the father of Michael Hagan. Michael played for the mighty Newcastle Knights in the early days and was the coach of the team when we won the premiership in 2001.

I really don't understand your attitude. I was under the impression that Seniors Discount Club was a forum where seniors could debate and share information with a reasonable expectation of being treated with respect. We're all adults after all. Politics is my thing. I love the intricacies of it...

Well, thank you very much MaccaMan! You have literally stolen all the stuff I was going to say! 😂 Seriously though, you forgot the $5.1m in aid to Haiti. Funny thing is, it never got there. Somehow or other, it ended up in the pocket of Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary. It bought...

Sorry, but what does my comment about creeping Americanisation in advertising and food have to do with Trump? As a retired medical professional however, I'll say this: diagnosing someone with one or more medical conditions to get a laugh, isn't funny. I don't like Donald Trump, but I find all...

Love, love, love 'Killing me Softly'. RIP Roberta.

For god's sake leave the bloody buns alone!

Every time I hear this, I say to my long suffering husband, 'Don't we have any actors here who could have done this job?' This creeping Americanisation of our culture sickening.

Climate change! The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind!

I always wait until the perpetrator leaves before I put a note on the vehicle. In the old days when cars had the weathershields on the two front passenger windows, people often left their windows down a little bit. It was then easy to slip a note into the car.

I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in most of my joints, including my entire spine. I would disagree with the finding that fibromyalgia pain is worse than arthritis. I have very small hands and I often look at my fingers and wonder how something so small could generate so much pain. My...

It's a little known fact that adherents of the world's fastest growing religion hate dogs. They regard them as unclean and would not want them in their vehicles. My husband was a crossing guard at our local primary school and it greatly amused him to watch the steps - no pun intended - taken by...

Our granddaughter is a sweet, quiet child, whose two favourite things are animals and sunsets. Around 18 months ago, she suddenly refused to go to school. She was in Year 8 at a state high school in NSW. The friendship group she'd had since Kindergarten told her she was no longer welcome in...

God preserve us from going in the direction of America where a person's race and political affiliation are the standard by which they are judged.

I've seen multiple incidents like this and if I've been able to get the numberplate, I've always let the driver of the damaged car know. It would never enter my head to do otherwise. What the hell is wrong with people today?!

My forehead is completely smooth. My care worker and I had fun the other day with me trying to frown. I've never been able to frown. My cheeks are smooth, I have no wrinkles whatever. I have very fine lines at the corners of my eyes, which are hidden by my glasses, and fine lines on my top lip...

Ccongratulations guys! I can now put faces to the names of two sparring partners. We don't always disagree, but it's good mental exercise when we do. I hope you'll have a great life together. All the best.
