    Feel the future of skincare with the newest addition to No7’s breakthrough Future Renew Range

    I was interested in No 7, I had heard it was one of the best, so when I found No 7 retinol on sale. I thought I would give it a go, anyway was not ready for the final results, my whole face peeled and was so tight I looked like a snake shedding. So this product sounds good but I`d be very cautious.

    The future queen is making a major move—but it’s what she’s leaving behind that has everyone talking

    What is the big deal? There seems to be controversy about her links with a lowbrow step brother. I hope she comes to Australia and enjoys her time here ( in peace from the craziness of her family) and completes her studies and maybe she will stay!!

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    Daughter laments over mum's 'devastating' condition after working in this facility

    The system is stuffed and it leaves me speechless, the most vulnerable are being neglected, that includes the poorly paid workers. And yet there is big money made by the aged care oganisations and also the law firms that take on or (sometimes don`t take on victims) for compensation. Where is...

    Please don’t tape your mouth at night, whatever TikTok says. A new study shows why this viral trend can be risky

    There is no way I would be able to go to sleep with my mouth taped up. I think it would be dangerous, uncomfortable and I would panic. It sounds like a fad, just another thing that you should avoid.

    "Grab life by the horns and shake the shit out of it"!. This was said to me by an eldery Nun and this has been what I have continually reinforced with my children and I also took note, because before you realise, life comes to and end.

    Driver dumps rubbish to dodge fee, cops massive fine instead

    Is this our new weapon against cancer? Researchers link famous drug's effects against widespread disease

    This research is confusing, on one level there is a possibility that side effects will cause serious health problems and now they are researching the possibilty that it will reduce the possibility of developing certain types of cancers. I wish there was some clarity on this??

    'I’m paying your wages, so f*** off’: Clash between restaurateur and council sparks debate

    I think this story is a beat-up, from the photo that was taken of her, she looks like an "Asian Streetworker" and it`s emotive. Would still like to see a picture of the footpath, which has been conveniently been left out.

    Is this phone etiquette disappearing over the years? Here's what Aussies think!

    Yes, I always introduce myself and I like to know the name of the person I`m talking to as well, so I ask them their names. I don`t care if this slows up progress, it`s just manners to do this, and it gives some sort of connection to the person on the other end of the phone. We aren`t robots yet!!

    'I’m paying your wages, so f*** off’: Clash between restaurateur and council sparks debate

    Oh, for goodness sake is this realy a serious situation. She is fighting back, maybe not in language that is palatible for everyone (I would think everyone on SDC has used these words before or at least thought them). She is paying her taxes, insurances, licenses, GST and everything else that`s...
