    Pet photo

    Pet photo This is a photo of my 8 yo Lab, Clancy. The vet took the photo of him after he had completed his acupuncture treatment for arthritis. He’s so much happier now and just wants to play. It’s like having him as a puppy again

    Car Dilemma: Can this tiny gadget add a layer of security for older Aussie drivers?

    I’m a bit confused. The other day we had an article saying there was no need to test older drivers as most accidents were involving younger drivers. This one states most accidents involve older drivers.

    Shoppers unknowingly spend more after surprising supermarket discovery

    I have my list and mostly stick with it. I’m a fast shopper, I don’t hang around. I rarely even notice the music. For a big shop I usually get a home delivery or a click and collect.

    Rats immune to poison, spreading disease—is this the next public health disaster?

    I’m going to have nightmares tonight. Thank goodness we don’t live in Sydney, I’d be a wreck. The other week my husband THOUGHT he saw mouse droppings in the garage - I went all McGiver - it cost me a fortune in Bunnings and no mice, thank the Lord

    Fatal Victorian crash that saw 91yo driver hit three pedestrians puts focus on elderly driver rules

    I agree testing everyone on renewing their licence would be expensive and pointless for most people. I recon maybe what might help is if they include a medical questions form when renewing that needs to be signed off by a doctor. All that would take is for the person to fill in the form and a...

    Airport meltdowns are rising—here’s what’s fuelling them and how staff are coping

    I agree, a breath test and drug test should be given before boarding. And I recon alcohol should be limited on the plane, maybe just to when food is served. It’s so wrong that the few troublemakers spoil things for the many. Also maybe a ban on flying on all airlines for repeat offenders for a...

    Lost wallet turns up in unexpected spot after frantic search

    I remember when my boys were little I lost my bunch of keys with my car keys on there too. I searched everywhere and I was taking a group of kids to Maccas for my sons birthday and I had to break to petrol cap lock off to fill up before we left. I thought maybe one of the boys had maybe took...

    What’s in the water? France’s ban could be a wake-up call

    I don’t really worry about what is in anything - you’ve got to die of something but worrying won’t be killing me lol

    What’s one tiny thing that made your week better?

    The thing that made my week was my very first Australian friend of almost 40 years came to stay for a couple of days. We now live over three hours from each other so to spend a couple of days catching up was magic. Walking on the beach, collecting shells for a project she’s got in mind...

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

    For the most part I tell my dog to “go toilet” in our garden before we walk and he does. I do take bags with me just in case. The other day I did have to use them. I cleaned up and I tied the bag to his lead till we got home. Only when we got there - no bag! I had to re-trace our steps and...

    Could your morning brew be harming your eyes? Doctors weigh in

    I do have the odd coffee but I’m a green tea drinker. When I have a coffee at home I use coffee bags. I find because I don’t coffee much, the instant goes hard and I have to throw it away. The coffee bags taste more like brewed coffee and are individually wrapped in foil so last longer

    Nearly half of Aussies support legalising cannabis—do you?

    I guess it would be treated the same as driving under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol is legal but you still can’t go over .05, with any drug it’s illegal to drive while it’s in your system and even if it’s made legal driving rules probably wouldn’t change
