    Australians are pushing back on tipping—where do you stand?

    No I don’t tip. I may do if I receive some fabulous service or if the food is so much above average I may tip the chef. But I can’t afford to tip these days.

    Rental market shocks with $1100 weekly listing in major city apartment

    I must admit that you know when a house in your street is rented. It often has lawns full of weeds and the look of the garden is usually uncouth. Often several cars are parked on the lawn. Sorry to say this but it is true

    It serves him right if he gets diagnosed with it now

    Can your social media flexes land you in jail? Here's what one state has to say about it

    Unbelievable!! Just can’t imagine who would be proud enough to post their illegal exploits and boast about them. I would be ashamed to think others had found out that I had done something that would shame me.

    Emergency crew responds after Qantas pilot falls ill. What happened?

    No I haven’t experienced such a situation but I did know that pilots have special conditions about menus. I was told that they don’t eat the same chicken meal because this meat was more susceptible to being off. When you think of it it is easy to suffer from food poisoning especially if you...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    I know the WA retirement village mentioned and have friends who live there and they are very happy. I think because it’s not for profit it is more for the people who live there. I am in my early 80s and have a house that is too large for me but I can’t bear the thought of ditching all the...

    Queensland government announces more than half a billion dollars for homeless services

    That’s good for homeless in Queensland. To my knowledge there is no such help here for homeless. With the price of rentals it seems hopeless for anyone to afford to get a house unless they are very well paid.

    Seniors in the red: Over one million Aussies max out credit cards amid cost-of-living crunch

    I must admit don’t like using my credit card. I draw out cash and use that. I don’t feel I’m spending my money when I use a credit card card. It works for me using cash.

    I was literally there today and it was a f****** nightmare!”: Why Kmart’s chaos can’t be ignored

    No I’ve not experienced such disarray but I can imagine how it can occur quite quickly and easily. If the product is a real steal then everyone wants it and especially with shoes they’ll be throwing them everywhere to get what they want and what fits them. People are so greedy when it comes...

    Try new ‘alcohol alternative’ at Woolworths—know key facts first

    Very interesting. I saw kava being offered around at a ceremony on an island in the Pacific. My husband tried it, a bit reluctantly because it looked a bit dirty, Can’t say it did anything for him though. However I will try it if I see it in the supermarkets. I’m sure it’s better than alcohol...

    Thousands of Australians are receiving ECT without consent every year

    ECT sounds such a terrible treatment. However my father suffered from depression and he received this. This treatment was successful for him and he was able to resume his previous work (he was a sculptor and monumental mason). So from my own experience I must say it can work for some people...
