    Road deaths rising as Aussies confess to dangerous driving habits they just can't quit

    I agree, and what’s worse is those animated advertisements along the highways. The words change and move about and pixelated pictures swap and change. So distracting

    Road deaths rising as Aussies confess to dangerous driving habits they just can't quit

    My phone stays in my bag when I’m driving. If I get a call or a text I ignore it until I stop for a break. Even if I can answer the phone on the device in my car, I won’t answer. I do wear my smart watch but I can’t see that anyway while wearing my distance glasses so I ignore that too. I do...

    Former President's cancer battle offers hope amid challenging diagnosis

    That is young for postrate cancer. My husband was diagnosed over ten years ago. He had surgery but there is still a trace of the cancer on his urethra which is closely monitored. I am always on at my boys, who are mid forties, to get checked but they don’t listen. I guess they think they are too...

    $3 billion shift transforms how families prepare for school

    I check TEMU first if I need anything, also SHEIN especially for clothes. I find the quality is way better than KMart. For electronics I go to Kogan. They have had some $9.99 specials recently so I’ve picked up some great stocking fillers. Smiggle has always been way overpriced in my opinion...

    $25 Target jeans are making shoppers fall back in love with denim—and it’s not hard to see why

    For cheaper jeans I don’t think you can go past KMart. Clothes wise jeans are just about the only thing I buy for myself at KMart, I find them really comfortable

    Sydney couple’s $7,000 warning after years of ignoring roof pigeons leads to health scare

    With my bird phobia I find pigeons are my worse fear. They just don’t take no for an answer! They just don’t seem to fear people and no matter how much arm waving and shooing I do they still keep coming. A couple of years ago we had swallows trying to nest in the carport. My husband was away...

    Thieves exploit trusted wildlife charity's uniform in brazen home invasion

    We have had people calling trying to get us to sign up for cancer charities. One girl almost talked my husband into it but when he came and asked me for our credit card number I got involved. She had already got his driving licence number, which I told her to delete, why would they need that for...

    Growing crisis puts postal workers' safety in spotlight

    We are very happy with our delivery guys too. Both the postie and the delivery van man always make sure they don’t leave anything out in the open for thieves to see. We actually got our regular delivery guy back this morning. He’s awesome, nothing is too much trouble for him. He told us he’s...

    THIS shocking university breach may have exposed your private data without you even knowing

    I guess it’s to protect your account. I’d be more happy to have to produce ID than have them let some random clear out my bank account

    Paper bag blues: How Australia’s plastic ban creates new problems for shoppers

    I only get paper bags when I get a home delivery as I have my own bags but my husband takes the paper bags to the local op shop and they use them for purchases there.

    Empty prison beds while crime soars: The proposal that's got Victorians fuming

    I recon the main reason the prisons are empty is that Victoria is in too much debt to be able to pay staff to work in them. So if they rent them out to other states Victoria will get revenue to help with the debts and the other states will pay their staff. Great thinking but that doesn’t help...

    The $318 million con: Why clever scammers are targeting your doorstep this Christmas

    I’ve had this message so many times but I would never click on the link of any message. If Australia post has a problem with a parcel I would be checking on the app, definitely not a link. If people haven’t got the app and are a bit unsure just pop in the Post Office and ask one of the staff

    What is ‘ear seeding’, the TikTok trend said to treat stress and fatigue?

    I bought some of these things years ago for weight loss. My granddaughter, who was about 8 at the time, said “Grandma, you know they’re not going to work don’t you” And you know after that conversation I didn’t even try them - she was probably right lol

    The benefits and risks of sleeping next to your dog

    Our previous dogs have slept on our bed and I welcomed them. The dog we have now would hop on the bed when my husband got up but wouldn’t sleep with us through the night. Now he doesn’t get on the bed at all. Now the cat is another story. He was a rescue, we got him at age six and hes now 14 and...

    $25 Kmart dress dividing Australia: Fashion-forward find or glorified nightie?

    The only clothes I buy for me from KMart lately are jeans, which are really good. Everything else, to me looks cheap and nasty. We recently won a $500 gift voucher, do you know how hard it is to spend $500 in KMart? We’ve been in three times and still got over a hundred left. We mainly bought...
