    Is this bed trick 'crazy'? Man shares his unusual bed-making technique online

    Sounds a bit daft to me. I like to air the bed for a while before I make it. And then smooth it all down. Can’t stand not making it. It makes the whole bedroom look tacky if not made

    Traveller learns the reality about his quaint stopover: 'It's not something I would support'

    Interesting. I’ve never heard of the five tribes. They certainly sound innovative. Suggestions of abuse may not or may be true. Hard to tell. If the food was good I would certainly visit.

    Are these boots considered 'bogan' or chic? Fashion fans say their piece!

    Reusing empty city buildings could help solve the housing and homelessness crisis

    One wonders whether empty buildings will address the needs of homelessness. It’s been my experience that a lot of dumping is happening with this group of people. What I believe may not be popular, but I think it will be less profitable to owners of these buildings to let homeless live in them...

    Sweet Tooth, Bitter Truth: The High Cost of Free Sugars in Our Golden Years

    That is the longest article I have ever been subjected to. People will not read such lengthy diatribes. It’s good to be reinforced about how deadly sugar is vs fat. But really do we have to go into it in such length???
