    Easy Homemade Buttermilk

    This comes in handy. Can't buy lactose free buttermilk. I'd got a new recipe to try that has buttermilk in the ingredients.

    TV fans and stars pay tribute to late General Hospital actor

    I also was addicted to watching the Bold & The Beautiful. All of my friends reckon Brooke got younger every year, until she was younger than her kids on the show ie. botox. Anyway, it's one of those shows that you can miss an episode, and the next day you don't miss anything. I worked out the...

    Vets warn $8 Kmart product puts furry friends at risk

    I use Breeders Choice which is recycled paper turned into pellets. I used to buy clumping litter, but my cat got irritated runny eyes from the dust. I clean it every time she uses it, and once/week hose the litter tray out and dry it in the sun.

    Famous brand stops 'ethically problematic' industry trend. Is this new policy a massive step for progress?

    Yes, it's amazing how many pets are dumped, and those places have to deal with them. Very hard because animals don't understand. Thank goodness most find good homes.

    Remember when knitwear was made to last? This $40 cardigan brings it all back!

    Good on her for doing the washing etc. Another big op for her. She certainly has endured a lot of pain. Hope this next op will be successful.

    Love cardigans. However, that one looks the pits with those gym/leggings/tights or whatever those pants are called these days. It's not a flattering look imo.

    Fans react to singer’s heartbreaking revelation before untimely death at 79

    Good on you. You must have been a great singer. Ian Turpie? His brother was a teacher at my youngest son's High School on the GC. Of course Normie Rowie lives on the GC too, along with many other well known music artists. American Louis Shelton the guitarist and music producer as well.

    Famous brand stops 'ethically problematic' industry trend. Is this new policy a massive step for progress?

    It's very disappointing I reckon. Little kids love going to pet shops and having a look at the pets and fish. We couldn't buy fish off a website!!

    Famous brand stops 'ethically problematic' industry trend. Is this new policy a massive step for progress?

    So the reason is it's 'aimed to set new ethical standards for pet shops'. I find that a bit hypocritical. They are willing to sell/make a profit from pet food and accessories to pet owners who's pet hasn't come from a shelter. Wonder if these pet shops will start quizzing pet owners.

    ALDI copies cookie packaging, snack giant fights back

    I bought a pack of Aldi's biscuits to try. They taste completely different to an Oreo. Original vanilla Oreos' are accidentally vegan, whereas Aldi's biscuits contain milk and whey powder.

    Pet attacks are rising, and councils are drawing the line—here’s what they want done about it

    Ditto. We have a cat enclosure attached to the house too.

    Pet attacks are rising, and councils are drawing the line—here’s what they want done about it

    Cats should be kept indoors which mine does. No excuses. In Qld, dogs who are violent have to wear a special red and yellow reflective striped collar, so people can recognise a savage dog and avoid it. Of course the savage dog's owners don't like their little darling dogs wearing them.

    Member Spotlight: Behind the Lens with Member @Big Al

    I know what you mean. I often have to zip it with people here. My good friend's parents came from London as $10 poms in the 50's. Actually, come to think of it, I have a few English and Scottish friends who came here. I'm heaving a sigh ... as it has changed so much since my childhood. 🙁...

    Member Spotlight: Behind the Lens with Member @Big Al

    It was lovely reading your story. That's so nice of you to make homemade wooden toys for the Op Shop. I'm a local who was born on the GC. There's always people arriving like yourself, with different reasons which I don't blame them.

    ALDI copies cookie packaging, snack giant fights back

    I'm intrigued now. Will have to go buy a packet, as I like the original one. I like Aldi for some items, but not all because they don't stock what I want. However, their Moser Roth chocolate and 100% pure Canadian syrup are winners.
