    Nurse Keith Donnelly opens communal wardrobe for hospital mental health patients

    What a great idea. Beats taking them to today's greedy op shops.

    Higher asset thresholds deliver bigger Age Pension cheques from 1 July – by Noel Whittaker

    None of this is of any use to those who rely solely on the pension. Nothing for them to get excited about. They have to wait until September to get their next miserly rise.

    Sick of cleaning up after someone else’s dog? You’re not the only one!

    🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Not that I ever saw one, but they never told me again that he wasn't there. It was the joke of the town for a while, especially with the wives who used to tell the barman that they were going to ring me and ask if their car was there and if said yes they were going to borrow the dogs. He...

    Sick of cleaning up after someone else’s dog? You’re not the only one!

    Actually I'm a very easy going person unless you piss me off, lol. I actually repeated this performance again once. My husband could never find his way home from the pub and one night I rang there as I needed the car. The barman, who forgot we lived on a hill overlooking the town, told me he...

    From $2,000 to $0: Aussie Slashes Energy Costs with Massive Rebate

    Probably could be covered by the payback rebate if she doesn't use much power, and has at least a 6.6kw system.

    Sick of cleaning up after someone else’s dog? You’re not the only one!

    Many years ago my ex and I bought a home in Bunyip, Victoria. It was a battle axe block at the end of a road. I did notice that this particular chap used to walk his dog across our block to the vacant land behind, letting his dog relieve itself on what was our front lawn. When we put a fence...

    From $2,000 to $0: Aussie Slashes Energy Costs with Massive Rebate

    No matter how hard you try it's pretty hard to avoid Chinese products these days, just about everything comes from China. China is not the only country who manufacture solar panels. Vietnam, Malaysia, US, South Korea and Germany also produce solar panels on a large scale. Japan, India and...

    Retired But Not Tired: Aussie Seniors Turn to Side Hustles to Boost Pensions

    Typical. It doesn't seem to matter which way you turn they are after you. You'd think after a lifetime of working and paying taxes they could give you a break in your retirement years. Even if you have managed to get a little, or for that matter a big, nest egg together in your lifetime...

    Stuffed Capsicum

    I didn't realise you could get both. Isn't DVA more than the aged pension.

    Sick of cleaning up after someone else’s dog? You’re not the only one!

    My girlfriend had the same problem with her neighbours cat. On top of that it was constantly killing birds. I stayed with her for 5 days and just during that time she had a dead dove and a galah in her yard. I went down to her local council and got a cat trap, the next day the ranger picked it...

    You’re never too old to start again—just ask this TV legend!

    You're kidding really! He wouldn't want to live in my house. For the life of me I can't figure out how my daughter manages to go through so much toilet paper!!

    Sick of cleaning up after someone else’s dog? You’re not the only one!

    My entitled brother in law used to let his German Shepherd out the front gate every morning so it could go up the street and crap on someone else's nature strip. Moron!

    A 73-year-old man lived without power in a mouldy home—here’s how the system failed him

    Bleach, Exit Mould, etc only covers up mould, it quickly comes back again. To kill mould spores use 1/4 of a teaspoon of oil of cloves to a litre of water in a spray bottle, mist the walls and leave for 24 hours then wipe down with a 2 by 3 mixture of white vinegar and water. I've used this in...

    She followed a recipe from a well-known chef—then three people died

    Totally ridiculous. You can find Beef Wellington recipes in any number of recipe books. Why was it necessary to even mention the author of the recipe book she used.
