I had these when I was a child. Then got them for my children when they resurfaced in the 80/90’s. All I’m prepared to admit to is that I’m not a mass murderer of sea life! Obviously this must’ve been a “scam” perpetrated against the children of the time!! Have to admit that now at 71 I’m...

There are some things that you don’t order at a cafe or restaurant ever. This is one. For me I also never order coffee when I’m out. I drink coffee black with sugar/sweetner and always find that it is too strong when ordered out. If you ask for a weaker brew there’s not much difference and if...

Why are the rims always so thick. I have a couple of favourite mugs that I rotate but only ever buy ones that have a thin rim that makes it really comfortable to drink from.

Don’t know why comments in the article were mostly about being able to go to a cake shop for that price. I’ve been to numerous cake shops over the years and believe me quite a few were awful and definitely not worth the money. So if you are wanting a cake for an occasion you were already aware...

I’m sure that the rule has always been there but it used to have a blade length that it applied to. Say, for example, any blade over the length of 7cm was deemed to be a weapon and therefore illegal to carry in public. Looks like any length is now included so my mum, if she was alive, would be...

Pottery and silk painting. I keep telling myself I’ll go and learn both when I downsize this house that’s falling down around my head and finally have some extra money to afford lessons. Been saying it for years now.

I’m a fan of Kmart clothes. However when looking for something warm to wear to a particular casual, upcoming event I was disappointed to find that while there were quite a few I liked the current fashion of the season being waiste or only very slightly longer in length ruled all but one or two...

ABC and SBS have some really good funny, dramatic and/or interesting shows. Admittedly, when I say this most people give me strange looks. Although I do love returning the look when they tell me about a great series/doco they’ve just streamed or started watching on other channels/platforms that...

I thought NSW made it illegal to sell kittens, puppies, rabbits etc in pet shops years ago. Have to admit that when my kids were little ( almost 40yrs) any visit to the shopping centre had to include a visit to the pet shop for a pat of whatever animals were there. Also I have to admit that I...

I was prescribed cannabis oil (0.5ml four times daily, no THC)) because of severe long term neck pain caused by arthritis in C1-C6. We decided to try it to reduce the amount of codeine I was consuming daily. I was sceptical. However it did seem to reduce the pain to a much more manageable degree...

Going to be funny when all the staff start using personal heaters and blankets and the boss sees his electricity bill !!

I’ll probably be shot down but I don’t have a problem with kangaroo products being sold. Th culling of them is going to continue regardless of complaints so why not use all the animal. What else, apart from meat in supermarkets for both people and pet food, is done with the carcasses ? I don’t...
