I need to add to this that usually these patients are identified and are managed by nurses who have had particular training to manage their behaviour.

Aggression is a very real and important factor to consider as we age. In particular in Aged facilities. My husband suffered from Altzeimers and whilst he had not previously displayed aggression he became very aggressive from time to time and these bouts of aggression had to be managed with...

The chance if having your home included in eligibility for the Aged Pension is very frightening

Fortunately I haven’t been subjected to infection such as colds and flu. I always ensure that I have all immunisations available for what I may be exposed to. I have noticed in the past that often I would contract some infection after travelling on aircraft. I put this down to the recycled air...

The process for eligibility should be simplified. I had to seek financial advice to be able to understand what I was eligible for It’s not fair that you have to spend money on financial advice in order to know how to use the system

I was horrified at the price asked in a local pet shop a few years ago The most ethical choice would be to purchase a rescue dog. But some people wish to buy a puppy rather than a grown dog. If I were in the market for one I would buy one out of the for sale column in the local paper. That’s...

70% today. Hope to do better tomorrow. I thought the biggest crater was in WA in the Pilbara

Well Trump has a lot to answer for the current financial state of the markets. How this fellon got ‘elected’ is beyond me. I suspect and hope he’s not in power for long. It appears Australia is not too badly placed in terms of importing/exporting so it is hoped we will be able to manage this...

In addition mortgage rates when I was in the market for borrowing were 17%

Fortunately I saw as imperative that I bought a home early on in my career and the cost of houses was less than it is now. There were options of smaller facilities for example I did not have a two bathroom home for many years, didn’t own a new car and was able to purchase a two bedroom duplex...

How selfish people are. As if the Banks are not syphoning enough from us already. Criminal to think our homes could come under threat by these irregularities. Gone are the days when we could seek support and advice from our trusted and friendly Bank Manager. It’s an inditement of how low the...

Got 80% today. Hard questions

What’s new? Often Sports Stars operate as a law unto themselves. I think it’s about time that these “icons” realized that they are not gods and behaved accordingly. Who wants to be subjected to their unfunny jokes and/or publicised antics?

Fantastic that this relatively easy procedure can save elderly people from blindness especially in the North of our State. I wonder whether there is a travelling clinic available? (Like the dialysis programme). Just a thought too that this is a product of our “invasion” that may need to be...

Very concerning. With the emergence of so many clever attempts to infiltrate into my system by legitimate sites, we are confronted with having to have multiple authentic log in. Because I am not particularly technologically savvy the set up and use of these authentication processes has...

Aldi provides me with goods which are good quality at affordable prices. You can’t get everything but this is a small price to pay , I feel for what they do stock

It’s rediculous to think that such high charges should be made for a bit of ground to put your caravan on and link up to water and electricity. This will encourage people to free camp in other rural areas. In a lot of cases with the modern caravans showers and solar panels mean one can exist...

Oh no it doesn’t feel right to have your pet buried with you.

I keep getting messages telling me I need to free up more space and from people trying to sell me more space. I delete these offers immediately but I’m not sure whether this is a genuine need for me to access more. ??

It’s a good idea to reach out and re-activate relationships which you had in your earlier years. For example it is easier to catch up with people known years ago via social media. It is important to ensure you remain safe though and be prudent about confidential issues to protect yourself...
