I feel reasonably safe in my home. When we first came to this house in 1990 my husband was still working - a marine engineer at sea (often on overseas runs from 4 weeks to four or six months at a time) - so for my protection we installed a back-to-base monitored security system. For the first...

Name calling by people here is not going to help anyone. Family or friends can help and she should have turned to them first. Feel sorry for her.

Hope you aren’t at risk!!!!

Sounds like a ‘brilliant’ idea. I don’t drive after or close to sunset because I don’t like other car’s lights reflecting in my spectacles. But from the picture shown on this site I think it would be excellent for night drivers.

Phone your bank yourself first. That’s all I have to say.

Thank you for clearing up my misconception about Victoria having free RSV injections for seniors.

Your comments about RSV and injections in general were very negative which prompted my angry response. Unfortunately, we cannot always pick and choose what disease or illness we get so our best defence is to get recommended medicines, vaccinations or injections to prevent getting sick. Too many...

Absolutely true Suzanne rose. Unless you’ve had it, like you and me, it’s all very well to comment that we are whingers and this is a government money-making issue. I don’t know which state you live in but have heard Victoria is covered for free RSV injections, but I cannot comment on the truth...

Thank you. I spoke with her today and I think the empty home and loneliness has really hit hard now. They had been married 63 years. I often think of what I (or my husband) would do in the event of one of us passing as we have been married 58 years now. I try to put that out of my mind, as much...

I do hope your sister comes through this soon. I have a friend (82) whose husband passed away on a Saturday, then she was admitted to hospital the very next day with RSV and pneumonia. Fortunately she recovered with plenty of medicine infusions but those last few hours with her husband must have...

My query also. And once people get to 60, 65, and beyond the governments (Liberal and Labor) seem to think it is a waste of money to protect us; they stop giving us medicines etc for the price that we were paying, and were entitled to, previously even though we have paid taxes all our lives...

Yes we can. But rather devastating and dangerous viruses are a totally different matter, and I wish all the unbelievers the best of health and good luck to everyone who believe this is just a small thing that interferes with one’s life momentarily or is just another whinger or a way of making...

My husband and I (84 & 80) have just come through three weeks of this - coughing, sneezing, low-grade fever, cold and constant nose-blowing and listlessness; yes, it was tested professionally and was RSV. I have minor breathing issues since a very serious stroke in September 2015 and my husband...

I had someone call the other day, used my real name to address me, then proceeded to ask if I had solar panels. That put me on alert but - I asked which company he was calling from, who gave him my phone number, and he asked if I have had them more than 3 years & I got some BS answers. I told...

And then, driving a little slower, will bring up the same old story - ‘old people who drive slower/slowly are the main cause of accidents on the roads’. So much BS instead of addressing the real problem - PROPER CONSTRUCTION AND TIMELY REPAIRS WHERE REQUIRED and good (so-called) Town Planners...

When hubby and I go shopping he usually takes out his card and pays and I stand back but both of us always say ‘thank you’ to the cashier. Not hard to do no matter how difficult your own day has been. Those people stand for hours every day to serve us and do their jobs while we sit in cars or at...

Here in Brisbane we were constantly driving over one particular bad section of road. Reported it to our council and after two more phone reports was given a reference number. It did take some time for repairs to be effected and that road section is now smoother. Next time I will phone, get a...

Whilst technology has done an immense amount of good work which I’m sure most of us appreciate, there are far, far too many smart a***s out there scamming people, doing businesses major harm (like the one in this article), and generally putting their brains to work on the wrong things.
