    When healthcare fails our most vulnerable: The incident that exposes gaps in patient care

    It sure does, mate. I visited her one day and there was no water for her to drink, and it was near lunch time. I had to go out and buy her bottled water because no nurse was at the nurses station. She was as thirsty as. Not strong enough to reach for the call button, she had to just lay there...

    Seniors can save up to $3,000 a year...but only if they have THIS card

    Concessions for power and property rates are managed by state governments. In NSW I get all of them. Maybe if you do a search for Victorian State Government Concessions, you may find some you are missing out on.

    'The End of an Era': Music venue closes after decades as live scene faces crisis

    The Manly Pacific Hotel is halfway between South and North Steyne, and that is on a corner. That's where the Canopus Room was. We used to go there on Saturday nights for the talent show.

    'The End of an Era': Music venue closes after decades as live scene faces crisis

    Member's Question: Am I able to get some sort of rebates for repairs?

    I always left 13 roofing tiles (1sqm) on every new home or extension I built, we'd put them under their floors. If you ever have to replace any of them and don't have enough spares, there's a mob in Sydney called "DAISLEYS". They are in Ashfield I think, well they were when I was building in...

    When healthcare fails our most vulnerable: The incident that exposes gaps in patient care

    That is true, those staff have to do something. But when those staff abuse their patients in the way like they abused my deceased wife, then a phone call to the powers who be, fall on deaf ears.

    Hey Hey star’s cancer discovered in the dentist’s chair—thanks to THIS hidden warning sign

    My liver is ok mate. I used to be a real pisspot in the army, but stopped when I got out in 1974. I could count the number of beers I've had each year since then on the fingers of one hand. But I have a good doctor who gives me a blood test every year to check out everything. So far, so good. I...

    Hey Hey star’s cancer discovered in the dentist’s chair—thanks to THIS hidden warning sign

    Yes, I'm sure of that too. Alcohol is really bad for kidneys, I've known a few fella's who have died from that too.

    Council pet limits spark state-wide debate as families face 'heartbreaking' choices

    Funny, I got most of them from the Council Dog Pound. They never said a word. They knew all about the home they were going too. 😉😉

    Dementia set to become Australia’s leading cause of death—protect yourself today

    There are many reasons why people get dementia. My deceased wife was DDon at a Dementia unit at Carlingford in Sydney. I did a lot of building a repair works there too, and got to know a few of the inmates. There was one lady who was an English History lecturer at a Sydney university, she...
