    ‘I neglected the symptoms’: What this Olympian’s journey can teach us all about ageing well

    I guess it all comes down to listening to your body. Your body knows when things aren't quite right & in itself attempts top give each of us the warnings, for us to heed. As with many cases, we wish Michael Klim all the very best in making a recovery.

    Mum loses $5,000 after flight booking mistake others still make today

    Why wouldn't she contact the airline directly by either a land line or mobile phone to speak to a customer liasion/booking representative ? To me it seems the logical procedure.

    Lost inheritance? Why millions in unclaimed estates end up with the government

    Hi glennkidd, I reckon that there would be plenty of people in a similar situation with which as you have mentioned. And, that's the trouble without having a proper will made out. My bride & self, as with thousands of others, being in a 2nd marriage where we each have our own offspring. We...

    NDIS pricing changes 'incredibly cruel' says remote mobile therapy provider

    Re my above, I'll finish off. Stupid machine decided to send itself off. If this was corrected, then the services needed for the genuine cases could well be afforded. At the moment, I don't know who took over Shortens portfolio, but whoever it is, more than likely won't do much or any better...

    NDIS pricing changes 'incredibly cruel' says remote mobile therapy provider

    The whole bloody damned problem & complete mess with NDIS is, as we all well know is the "Crooks" in the system ripping the government off. Poor old Billy Shorten couldn't do much about the problem, so he shot through & now has himself in a better 'Bull Shit" job with a university earning...

    They just voted to take $181 more from you—here's why

    All residents are at the mercy of their respective council. Very unfortunately, there's nothing much that anyone of us can can do anything about it. We just have to grin, bear it & suffer the costings.

    He lied about having cancer...then took $1.2 million—how did no one catch on sooner?

    We can only hope with book thrown at him, he is incarcerated for quite a long time at the governors pleasure. JUST wondering, raises the "?", Did the marriage survive ?

    Emergency crew responds after Qantas pilot falls ill. What happened?

    We have to be thankful that these strict demands are set,&, in place for all concerned. I must admit, that all of our air travel within domestically, &, internationally has all been with Qantas except once only. That was with Virgin. It's an idiosyncrasy which I have, where I've felt safer in...

    Job losses, cancelled routes, and refunds: Qantas’ latest move hits hard, but here’s what travellers can do next

    Hmmm, losing $35m/yr on costings. Makes one wonder how the service wasn't shut down much earlier than when it was. With that losing sequence is probably why passengers rec'd such crap service etc.

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    The more one reads about these "Retirement Villages", the more tangled the web becomes. The only thing I can think of, if ever considering one of these "Complexitive" living situations, is to sit down with other family members, & right down a heap of questions to asked for a better understanding...

    Is This Mum's Baby Bling Trendy or Tacky? Internet Divided Over Viral Post

    Hi DHLM, I have to agree how subjects get tossed around from what an original posting is about. You certainly get some real 'Quirkies" to have a laugh at, which I do. You & Veggie certainly like to express your thoughts by partaking in a little bit of friendly banter, as with quite a lot of...

    Is this freezer staple gone forever? Aussie food lovers scramble for alternatives

    Neither have I. Never knew such a product existed. I have seen dried packets previously where you add milk or whatever you like. No doubt, mash you get served up in club & pub bistro's is from packet mash.

    Hollywood legend shakes things up on her trip Down Under! Here's what senior Aussies can learn from her

    Good on you, Wombat2u2004. She should be thankful that someone didn't put a slug through her empty noggin. I couldn't give a "Shit" about her at all. I reckon that there would be plenty of American Vietnam Vets who would certainly be wishing her to the shit house as well.

    Petrol prices could hit $2.20 a litre if Iran-Israel conflict sends oil above $US100 a barrel

    Well for one thing, we haven't anything to worry us about China. Don't forget that Premier XI & Albo are the best of mates. All Albo has to do is race over to Beijing, then go & wrap his arms around XI, & say "Here I am, remember me". Albo showed us how good a mate he is to XI, that he lets...

    Petrol prices could hit $2.20 a litre if Iran-Israel conflict sends oil above $US100 a barrel

    Hi Drew62. Very, very true indeed. It's the same as with our uranium & coal. We mine it, the gov't sell it. And, then the income we receive is wasted on dopey Bowen's idea on renewables. It's all one big hell of a joke.
