Yet another case of technology doing as much (if not more) harm than good. Pictures of your family should be of no interest to people who don't know you - but pictures of children are of interest to pedophiles. Kiddyfiddlers. Whatever you like to call them. Safest to keep you pictures...

There are >108,000 people waiting on home care packages The Government has apparently delayed providing perhaps 83,000 packages towards this wait list. The shortfall is >25,000 when/if these extra packages are available. We're past our Best Before date, so who cares about us? Soon more of us...

Perfectly reasonable to expect your sibling of any sex to help. Maybe you should lay down the law - I'll help/do the cooking, you do the cleaning up afterwards. Mind you, I'd probably have walked out when I was berated for not helping and for suggesting that brother do his fair share for once.

The retired vet wholly agrees - especially the 'meaty' bones bit as it is the action of chewing/gnawing the meat off the bone that cleans the teeth. ONE CAVEAT: those huge beef bones split in half are basically contra-indicated. The bone is too hard, and some dogs will break their teeth on...

Actually, there are an awful lot of tried and tested preparations to help with the serious issue of dental disease in dogs and cats. This is just another 'treat'. The problem with dental treats is that pet obesity is just as much a problem as dental disease. there are actually 'dental'...

I don't think I'd ever have the arrogance to dictate what my guests wore - wedding, funeral, birthday party, barbecue in the back yard, whatever.

Yet another attention-seeking twerp, spouting gibberish that possibly belongs to a slang of one particular generation. She thinks it makes her look good. It makes her sound like an illiterate. If she wants to communicate, she needs to use a form of English that everybody understands...

the rules are most definitely for me. If I go to a pet-friendly venue, I do NOT want other people's pets coming around me expecting food or pats. If I want to pat your pet, I will ask your permission. I can't take my undisciplined dog to any pet friendly venue because she believes...

Assistance animals are trained to stay with the person they are assisting - not wander around begging attention and/or food from strangers.

I find it difficult to understand why an estate agent would 'underquote'. I thought their income was from a percentage of the sale price, so it is in their best interests to sell up, not down

I'm all for recycling, though the incident in Townsville was hardly "unfortunate" for the people whose yard was contaminated! Beware of "environmentally friendly" solutions (such as electric cars) as sometimes the manufacturing process can cause massive environmental damage (especially if...

I think the person who suggested it was a place to put things out of the way of ants and the like was pretty nearly right.

I wonder how healthy the tree was - why did she want it removed? I would have thought a heritage-listed 100year old tree would have added value to the property - but not if it was in the process of dying of old age and becoming a danger to life. Councils don't always consider these things until...

Easier to blame and employee than pay a fine

False and misleading practices = fraud. Yes, any business so indulging should face the consequences.

Typical China to claim something free of toxic materials when it isn't. China has never let the truth get in the way. In a way, they're dumping their toxic waste on us. That doesn't mean we should dump our toxic (or any other) waste on our fellows - or anywhere in the country. We live...

It is good to see a big business offering value for money - the value being not just the person receiving assistance, but to all of the road users by quickly removing all obstacles to the flow of traffic.

Not fined enough, as far as I am concerned.
