    Garlic and onion at 5:30 am caused a feud—does anyone have the right to ban smells in shared housing?

    We always cooked fish outside on the BBQ. Not to quell the senses of over sensitive complainants, but to keep the smell out of the house. Food smells affect some, not others. I have a nephew who has a nose like a blood hound. Everything disturbs him. No way would I worry about keeping him...

    Let kids be kids, but when should parents draw the line?

    It is in the educating. When we were in the car, anything beyond calm conversation was not accepted. We never travelled by plane, however the same rules applied to bus, train, ferry, and, also dining out. We grew up easily accepting what is acceptable behaviour. My family followed the same...

    Royal scandal deepens: Prince Andrew hit with new Epstein claims in shocking tell-all

    Here we go ... someone wrote a book, so, everything must be gospel. Quite honestly, I am not a royalist, don't give a flying fig about the shenanigans that have gone on with a bunch of people who, in many cases, are the end result of many decades of in-breeding to maintain lineage... so, is it...

    Family fortune turns to heartbreak: This Aussie singer's painful victory over her mother

    I found the interview riveting. She's so hurt by all of this. So much for motherly love. Greed kills the soul.

    Experts are alarmed! This year’s tick season could be the deadliest yet—are your pets safe?

    I have no issues with things like this in my area, however, as a responsible pet owner, the appropriate treatments are religiously applied. We take on the care, we should make sure our pets are safe. Prevention is better than cure.

    Startling scene shows magpie swooping behaviour reaching alarming levels this season

    Maggies have their territory. It is said that they remember faces. Beat the facial recognition system....hey. I have a couple that have been visiting for a few years. They wander across my deck for a drink of water. I might be sitting reading or having a cuppa. They don't bother me, and I...

    Major retailer faces alarming downturn as profits and shares tumble

    I have wandered in to take a look around at Myer on a number of occasions. There was nothing to convince me the over priced outlet warranted the extra expense. Never bought anything from them and if they stay open, unless they change their ways, never will.

    Everyone’s talking about this Kmart hat—but is it worth the $6 price tag?

    OMG. Fancy being able to put your pony tail through the back of a cap, just like they have been doing in my living memory. I, personally, would be grateful just to have a pony tail instead of being almost hairless. Such is life.

    Here's the shocking truth about loneliness affecting Australians of all ages

    I found the best way to make new connections was through my volunteer work. There are some caring people out there with good hearts. When I got involved with the Soul Cafe, I learned there is much more to life that is worth while. I toddle in there every week, run a small fellowship group, mix...

    Loved the movie. Loved the munchkins. They may all be gone now, but, will live on through the silver screen.

    Driver's mishap triggers nationwide conversation about road safety

    You take me back Vespa Girl. My first transport was a little Honda Step through. I loved that little beep beep. I can remember getting my 20c worth of fuel, wiping over the dusty bits, and, checking the teeny tiny dip stick. Ahhh... the memories.

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    Through all my working life I was surrounded by a bunch of over paid, highly educated idiots. The workers on the front line did all the work, made the important decisions, and, pretty much kept the place going. The educated hot shots took all the credit. Also, I was one of a few females in a...

    When that 'quick stop' across the footpath could cost you $660—and why it matters more than the money

    The only time I parked in a driveway like that was to get my hubby and his walking aid out of the car, then I left him there, got a park a block away and walked back. It happens when people take up all the spots on the road. No way I would leave it in the driveway longer than absolutely...
