I was a person who was against VAD until I watched and experienced the last weeks of my mother's and brother's long drawn out deaths. The loss of dignity, pain and suffering in those last weeks were horrendous. VAD, now I believe, provides a dignified and peaceful way to end the approaching...

Trusting people today is a very difficult thing to do, you just do not know any more - so many scams, dishonest people and companies out to rip you off. You once were able to feel cautious around certain types of people, now it could be anyone. What a different society there is today which is...

Can't agree more! You are so right!

Every few weeks we have a council (Liverpool City Council) street sweeper come around our neighborhood and clean any mess, only problem is it cannot clean under parked cars.

Lack of respect for everything these days with the 'me' attitude that many people have! It is time that there was more care and respect for basic things like not littering and dumping rubbish.

We rarely have pizza but had Dominos last week - never again - salty and lacked real taste. We did not enjoy. Though, we used to go to the 'old' pizza hut restaurant in Sylvania after church on Sunday and was a yummy treat, things tasted better back then not like now.

Apples have not been the same for many years - I crave a decent apple like I used to have straight from the farm. I crave some decent 'fresh fruit and vegetables' not ones that have been in cold storage for ages put on the shelf and off in a day or two. We have begun growing some vegetables and...

The NDIS seems to be a real mess and always has been since introduction. There has been so much mismanagement and rip offs buy dodgy providers out to milk the system. It is sad that such a large service is ceasing the NDIS arm of their services. I just wonder 'why' this is happening. The...

Councils do some pretty stupid things and waste money all the time. This is one example but there are so many more. I really question the need for councils - we need to think of an alternative to lessen the levels of government and bureaucracy that set up the mess in the first place!

I have worn glasses since I was sixteen. Always have had my eyes checked every one to two years. Look for an optometrist who bulk bills, I think Spec Savers do. Many of the optical providers have discounts for seniors and healthcard owners, there are some that have recycling services for frames...

We have often gone for a browse and ended up coming home with lots of extras. I like the set displays of possible rooms - gives you ideas of how things can work. You have to be disciplined when you shop there.

What a great idea. The larger buckets are too big for my needs. These look perfect I certainly will get a few and they will be used regularly! Thanks for the article.

You have to be careful what you say online these days, as it can be twisted so much and come back to bite you. The concept of free speech is not as it used to be - you have to be so careful what you say and how you say it as it may offend only one person and then the trouble begins.

One of the schools I worked in had copper down pipes and gutters. We would often come to school and find that some had been pinched overnight. The worst incident was the main gas piping into the school had been taken cutting it off with a hacksaw overnight. The whole area had to be closed down...

At high school in the early seventies we had to do cooking and sewing as part of our Year 7-9 learning while the girls did word and metal work. It gave us all some practical life long skills.

What a great little tool! Ryobi are developing some very useful and small tools for everyday things. I have to keep out of the Ryobi isle at Bunnings, it is too tempting. If only these were available years ago when I was teaching - it would have lessened some of the manual workload.

As an adult I love rhubarb I will try this - looks delicious. Thanks for this!!!

House insurance is being priced so high that the regular person does not have the funds to pay the high premiums. Whatever way, you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. House insurance is essential, especially today with the weather change and the rise in home robberies/invasions. Where...

That's me today and every other day. Mind is willing the body not so much.

At Primary school we used to share our chip sandwiches. I also liked 'hot' chip sandwiches loaf of bread and 20 cents of wrapped hot salty chips from the milk bar.
