Things worked better before the digital age took over. The old systems, although cumbersome, were far more reliable, but not as mobile. Hopefully the changes and fixes will help make this more reliable.

What a mess! Just look at NDIS as an example, they keep changing it and they keep messing it up, there are huge problems here. This is the same with aged care now, constant change, constant problems. I do not know what the answer is to overcome the incompetence. I worry about this as I know that...

My dog made the change to daylight savings time a week before the actual date. He has had no trouble in changing the times. We tell the time by him from meal times, toilet times and walk time - he is spot on every day. He is three, we must have trained him well.

My grandmother used to make these for us all at Christmas. I enjoy your recipes as it takes me back to my grandparents who were avid in the kitchen. Your sharing brings back these times. You remind me so much of my grandmother who always had lovely homemade food and was the centre of the family...

How does Karl continue to survive? I like the old Today Show with Steve Liebman and Liz Hayes and then Tracey Grimshaw - it was more professional and newsworthy. I think since introducing Sarah Abo things have improved, but Karl is such a lose canon, he is the one that needs to be looked at but...

We sometimes had Ovaltine but usually had Activite to have with our milk as a youngster.

This is shocking. It is getting to the stage of who do you trust anymore! Thank you for the information here and suggestions of how to handle these things. It is good to be aware!

I used to love to visit Melbourne for the weekend. We would leave the car at the hotel and travel around by trams which we found so good to get around. Now once the Metro is up and running it will add another layer to get around. I am from Sydney and we have found the changes here with the...

I always check everything. We tend to buy loose fruit and veg rather than the packaged. A few weeks ago we bought a pack of chicken breasts with a use-by date six days later. When we opened it too cook that night the smell was so bad, it was definitely off. I took it straight back to Woolies...

How has it come to this? What a mess! Is it because of mismanagement, shonky operators, incompetence or greed? I feel sorry for those that need the help and rely on the services. Too many enquiries and inaction - an approach needs to be put in place to ensure that those who need support gets the...

I have all of the above some mine and some my mother's. Still use them and have done most of my adult life!

I remember as a family going to the Chullora Drive-in (a big trip from the Shire) to see the Sound of Music back in the 1960s. Didn't stay awake for the whole movie though, past my bed time. Every time I see the movie now I remember the happy days of childhood as a family.

It would be interesting to see the profit margin once all overheads are considered? I think in some places, rents are ridiculously high and they are locked into watertight leases, which means to make businesses viable they have no choice but to charge the prices they do to survive.

Because there are only two of us we tend to buy loose as the prepackaged we usually throw out half. I always feel guilty in using the large plastic bags at Woolies so I think this is a good move. We have become very used to using our FOGO bin since July when introduced. We are the only one in...

Those were the days the friendly corner shop that was personal. Now ... well ... a very different world run by a few companies.

I just looked at it and thought oh God, then read it with out any hesitation - divine intervention?

Some problems are caused by the increased size of vehicles such as the big utes and SUVs, which do not fit into the narrow parking spaces in some centres. We have people in our local village car park who ensure that they have space on one side so they can get out but ignore that they are only...

It is interesting you say this, as when I was walking the other day in our estate which is now 15 years old, I noticed a number of homes with Yuccas and thought to myself how big they had become. They were all planted across the front of their homes and I was wondering about roots going under...

We've only just begun - the Carpenters
