    Types of cases for school

    Types of cases for school My dad made me a wooden port at one time to take to school. Can’t remember what it was like to carry and use but have a vivid recollection of what it looked like. Got to say it was unique if nothing else.

    Would you pay $50 for a water bottle? You don’t have to now—thanks to Kmart’s $15 version

    Going slightly off topic for a moment and I have to say this is NOT my idea, but one I saw on another forum. For grandparents taking the grandkids out for a day can end up costing a small fortune by the time you’ve bought snack, lunch and cooling ice blocks on a hot summer day. You can obviously...

    Some have mentioned “snake oil”, hallucinations, and other mental problems associated with this so let me make a couple of things clear about what I have been prescribed. As stated the cannabis oil I use has no THC in it and therefore cannot produce hallucinations or other mental associated...

    AHPRA takes action against more than 50 practitioners in medicinal cannabis crackdown

    I was prescribed cannabis oil ( no THC) for chronic pain and I did find it helped to reduce the pain and therefore the amount of codiene I was consuming on a regular basis. However at $145 for 30mls which if taken as prescribed only lasts for 3 weeks, I can rarely afford to purchase it. Having...

    ‘Took me years to figure out’: Expat reveals Sydney transport truth many miss

    I haven’t used public transport for years and I’m just wondering - do you have to tap your card when you get off as well as on? Otherwise how do the govt know how much to charge? Surely there must be a difference in price between 2 stops (sections, they used to be called) and say 5 stops? Or...

    What is the etiquette around calling someone out of the blue?

    Sorry, but that’s ridiculous! If you don’t want to speak to anyone then ignore the call and let it go to voicemail and if they leave a message you can decide what to do then. Ok, maybe there are some who don’t have voicemail but these days I think they would be few and far between. If they...

    What July 1 brings for Aussie seniors

    There is something I have never understood when looking at the difference in amounts applicable to couples compared to singles. According to the article above the assets of couples can be up to $158,000 more than my singles allowance. Now the way I see it couples live in one house, singles the...

    ‘Changing the host now is a terrible idea’: Is this the biggest risk yet for Survivor?

    I’ve watched Survivor every season since the first one with Jeff Probst in American Survivor and Johnathan La Paglia on Australian Survivor and can’t really imagine either without their initial hosts. While I quite like David Genat he is too “over the top “ to fit the role either Probst or...
