    Don’t spend $240! The $25 Kmart find shoppers are obsessed with this winter

    I’m a fan of Kmart clothes. However when looking for something warm to wear to a particular casual, upcoming event I was disappointed to find that while there were quite a few I liked the current fashion of the season being waiste or only very slightly longer in length ruled all but one or two...

    You won't believe what an audience member yelled out that left this TV quiz show host stunned!

    ABC and SBS have some really good funny, dramatic and/or interesting shows. Admittedly, when I say this most people give me strange looks. Although I do love returning the look when they tell me about a great series/doco they’ve just streamed or started watching on other channels/platforms that...

    Famous brand stops 'ethically problematic' industry trend. Is this new policy a massive step for progress?

    I thought NSW made it illegal to sell kittens, puppies, rabbits etc in pet shops years ago. Have to admit that when my kids were little ( almost 40yrs) any visit to the shopping centre had to include a visit to the pet shop for a pat of whatever animals were there. Also I have to admit that I...

    More people are trying medicinal cannabis for chronic pain. But does it work?

    I was prescribed cannabis oil (0.5ml four times daily, no THC)) because of severe long term neck pain caused by arthritis in C1-C6. We decided to try it to reduce the amount of codeine I was consuming daily. I was sceptical. However it did seem to reduce the pain to a much more manageable degree...

    Supermarket brings back $122 product, putting shoppers at risk

    I’ll probably be shot down but I don’t have a problem with kangaroo products being sold. Th culling of them is going to continue regardless of complaints so why not use all the animal. What else, apart from meat in supermarkets for both people and pet food, is done with the carcasses ? I don’t...

    Young Aussie finds $380 treasure hidden in posh neighbourhood trash

    My son and his friend used to regard council pick-up as two extra Xmases when he was little, around 8 or so. They would come home from a neighbourhood wander with bikes, toys (some broken), office chairs were a favourite for a while. The biggest thing they ever brought home was a full size...

    Tenant vandalises property in revenge for rent increase—find out what he did

    Ok I saw this on ACA the other day and I have to confess that while I feel sorry for the landlord and do not condone the destruction of another person’s property, I was laughing by the time the report finished. The guy glued everything that moved ( many I wouldn’t even think of). He even glued...

    Why many women are seriously rethinking makeup after this star’s bold move

    If I looked like Pammie I wouldn’t have worn makeup either! All these women, not surprisingly, are past menopause and are now regarded by a huge number of men and women as old and therefore their looks are quickly passed over. Harsh, I know, but that’s just how things are. I’m now 71. Yes I...

    ‘Please be more considerate’: The photo that has Melbourne shoppers fuming

    I don’t know if you’re joking or not but I admit, at 71, to sometimes parking in parents with prams designated parking areas. My excuse - revenge! They’ve got a bloody pram to lean on while walking the short (because spots are always nearest distance to shops) trip to shops and I’ve only got my...

    Investigation uncovers hidden danger in kid's video—can you spot it?

    It’s only cruel if the snake is alive at any time this is happening to it, which I sincerely suspect it wasn’t. It’s definitely misguided and needs the kids to be spoken to to get them to understand about respect for both living and dead animals if it was dead before using it as a skipping rope.
