    Joke I could not afford this...

    Guess I’ll have to do that also!!! I’m second of 7 siblings, we have already done our family tree research with great expense to us. Was once told by a sibling “why don’t you get your DNA done”? My unspoken response was ‘why should I spend more money, why could the requester not do their DNA...

    Aussies slash power bills by 90 per cent with simple home upgrade

    Well, it’s either ‘grin and bear it’ for the initial outlay, take out a small loan OR forever pay the price of rising quarterly electricity bills. I am well aware that there are many without the ability to spend money for the installation of solar, but can anyone tell me what they think the...

    A royal first: King Charles invites Donald Trump in historic gesture

    That narcissistic man is also so stupid he has to repeat his ignorant comments more than once in one sentence. Does he think we cannot understand him? No, he just does not know how to speak as the leader of such a large, important country which, unfortunately, he is ruining and running into the...

    Lost wallet turns up in unexpected spot after frantic search

    Not hard to do with glasses! I’ve done it as well and also put my hands to my face to take them off before getting into bed & found they are not on my face but on the little doggy face that holds them on my bedside table! Ha, ha.

    Aussies slash power bills by 90 per cent with simple home upgrade

    I have had a gas cooktop for all of the 58 years of my married life & never had one problem. If the government wants to get rid of gas cooktops in homes how do they think people are going to cook when there are so many, and so frequent, power cuts?? I’m sure they have not given a thought to...

    Woolies shoppers stunned by outrageous chicken prices

    And not be dead and cooked otherwise it wouldn’t lay those golden eggs! Ha, ha. The BBQ chickens from Woolworths and Coles seem to be quite shrivelled up and the meat is so hard and so little.

    Woolies shoppers stunned by outrageous chicken prices

    I have been told there is a time limit set for when they remove BBQ chickens from sale from the time they are put out on display. Whether they remove them or not after that time I cannot say.

    Woolies shoppers stunned by outrageous chicken prices

    Correct me if I’m wrong - but I believe the weight on the carton is the average weight of the egg or the combined weight of all eggs in the carton - NOT the weight of each egg. I do check the eggs in every carton we buy, not for individual size but to check there are no broken/cracked ones and...

    Famous fast-food chain faces filthy store video backlash as response unfolds

    Was at a McDonald’s just yesterday after a busy day out & it was 2:00 by the time we were able to have a bite for lunch. More than one table left with their cups, paper bags and wrappings - grubs, who I believe think it is the restaurant’s job to clear away THEIR mess. It takes less than a half...

    Lost wallet turns up in unexpected spot after frantic search

    Enlarged the pic (because I use my iPad mini during the early morning at breakfast time) and spotted it straight away with the double flap on the left side.

    Back in the day, phones didn’t care what you wore (or didn’t)—now they’re interrupting video calls

    So what if we’re being monitored? It is for our safety and the safety of our children and grandchildren who are more technology-proficient than most of us are. If we have children and grandchildren who were scammed, abused by sexual predators etc. some on this site would be the first to scream...

    Aussies slash power bills by 90 per cent with simple home upgrade

    Quite some years ago we installed roof-top solar when the queensland government was offering incentives - 8 on the northwest, 6 on the west & 3 totally separate for the electric hot water system. Haven’t paid a cent in electricity bills since. About 5 years ago we also changed most light bulbs...

    Big plans for seniors: $190 million living plan on the way?

    For anyone that does not know from friends/family yet; if you have to go into permanent ‘nursing home’ type care - my mother had Alzheimer’s dementia and had to be admitted and it was a (refundable) deposit of $350,000 in 2016. Just had a friend put her husband into the same place @ $700,000...
