Another example of entitlement and people only considering themselves. I have noticed lately that our crowded shopping village has become extremely busy. Although there are a number of disabled posts spread out in the parking lot, many people are just parking there because there are no other...

I could swear this is the basket that I have in the cupboard that was my mums. I still use needles and cotton from it when I need to put a button on shirt. Wow, I am not just the only one. A little keep sake from a past generation. It is a bit like a museum piece.

Clever!!!! We need things like this to take away the seriousness of things today. We need opportunities to have a little giggle once in a while and smile!

I have been thinking the same for the last few weeks. John Marsden's fictional story maybe a reality after all. There is so much coastline and entry points that a landing could take place at any time before we even notice it. I hate to think this, but I do not think we will stand much of a...

In our local area the speed limit is 50 km/h. Few people adhere to this speed most doing about 70 - 80. Dropping to 30 km/h is good in principle but I can not see people adhering to this unless there are speed cameras everywhere. Our council has installed chicanes through some of our local...

We used to have Acta-vite in hot milk every day. As a treat we were able to eat a few tea spoons out of the can. At school for morning milk time some students would bring Acta-vite in foil and added it to the milk bottle to give a little flavour. Ah times past!

Remember back then, we all knew each other and we actually talked with one another. Back then people cared and shared. If you needed a little help all would chip in. Very different today, people are scared to get involved or even speak to one another. The fences are also higher today, they are...

This is how leaders get down to business by being part of the community and not being above it. Good on them as fine role models defining what it is to be part of being human and part of the community.

Yes I remember just paying a few coins, polite toll attendants and on your way. Only problem was the traffic hold up as you queued to pay. Now you drive straight through without having to queue, but the cost is huge.

Poor man. Every time I transfer money, I worry even if it is legit, even though it is. I have lost trust in the banking system as it is too easy to be ripped off.

I went to Bunnings yesterday to get some top soil bags for the grass. There were no bags left. I approached a lovely assistant who checked stock stored above, checked for when new stock would be coming in which is late next week, and was able to tell me that if I did not want to wait, another...

The notion of self entitlement is growing so much. This is just another example!

The quality of many products has changed significantly in the last few years. Things are just not the same any more and they also have hefty prices.

It is so hard to trust any provider today. I really do not understand all the technical things - simply, I want something that will work and suit my needs at a reasonable competitive price. It is so hard to discern these things as the complexity in the descriptions of deals etc. I have been with...

We have had all of the vaccinations and have not had COVID, touch wood. We must be one of the very few. I am severely immuno-compromised where I probably would not have survived if I had caught it. We are still cautious of where we go and are careful. I still wear a mask on the train just to be...

My aunt had a set up like this with the old copper in the corner in the washroom under her house. It was well in use right up to the mid seventies when she went into a retirement home with her first electric washer. Monday was washing day and it was a big thing.

We used to go to the Coles Cafeteria in Hurstville every school holidays as part of a day out to buy new clothes. I used to have a pie, chips and peas with gravy and a chocolate milk shake. I miss the simpleness of this which we do not have today. The picture brings back happy memories of my...

We are being watched at all angles. About time the effort was put into reducing real crime rather than picking on the little person who tries to do the right thing. "Not taking lids off bottles" get real!

When I read the email it seemed that although things were changing with my account, the fees still looked the same. I found the email quite confusing as it appeared that I would have no change. I have internet, email, Foxtel, Netflix and my mobile all packaged together. The notification also...

Good on her! What an awful cruel tradition that has no place in our modern society today. It takes great strength and courage to go up against traditions such as these. She has my respect and admiration for rocking the boat and setting better standards for a modern world though her position as a...
