Health care has become a big business all about bottom line and profit owned by multi-nationals. The notion of care and providing a service for its patients (customers) is not as important as to the profit margin that procedures can produce for the business. This is what we have to deal with -...

We used to get a dozen (box) delivered each week from Crystal Soft drinks and then Berts when they stopped delivering. There was a variety of different flavours. We were a bit spoilt as kids. Nothing like today.

I would not read too much into this. As was said there are good days and bad days. If this were an evening event it is understandable that by the end of the day the fatigue sets in. Let's celebrate her recovery and give the Princess of Wales time to recover - it is a long journey.

Good idea with the stick on signs. We face this dilemma most weeks.

Maybe a solution to completely shutting down the bank is to have the bank on reduced hours or days. Maybe open two or three days a week rather than full time. This maybe a solution for cutting cost but also providing a service to the local community.

We are lucky. We have a lovely lady who delivers our parcels from Australia Post. Nothing is a problem for her. She is always polite and shows that she enjoys her job. Her respect and care for her job is rare these days as shown with the comments above.

What a great initiative. I have been placing these just in the bin and feel guilty for doing so. I will be recycling these from now on, now that I know. It is hard some times to know what is recyclable and what is not.

As seniors in NSW in Sydney we are able to have a gold opal card which entitles us to travel on public transport for a maximum of $2.50 a day. We visit the city for day outings often and as we are not as mobile as we used to be, we take advantage of this, using the train from home and using the...

How cute. I have a little orange sable Pom like in the picture who is also very cute. Little dogs have such fun personalities.

I remember using these - it is how we learned to add up, subtract, multiply and divide. Would you believe I still have my set that my parents bought to help with homework. They were a great simple tool to help you learn maths in primary school. Maybe they should be re-introduced and then the...

This may be a good way to get the teachers, nurses, doctors, emergency service personnel and other professions that we need to cater for the shortfall in employment numbers here!

What a lovely experience this would be for a very special occasion/celebration.

Too many cars being recalled. What has happened to quality control standards? Too much hurry and neglect of standards to quality products without defects.

We tend to buy all native plants for our garden, that fit into our landscape beautifully. We live a bush area, so it compliments well. Going native means that we blend into the natural surrounds of our neighbourhood and our plants suit our Australian environment. We usually read on the tags, the...

As expensive as it is, if you can afford it have it. Seven years ago I became very ill. I spent three months in hospital after needing surgery, then six months in rehab to learn the basics - to speak, eat, move my arms and walk. Without health cover I would not have had the care I needed. I was...

We always buy our mushrooms from the supermarket, then it is more safe. Although we grow our own vegetables we will not try growing mushrooms as you never know!

Its scary how they have people's details. Privacy has become non-existent, people are watching!

I remember when I began Teacher's College back in the day we had to have TB screenings to be accepted for the teacher scholarship. I thought TB was long gone. I also remember my grandmother telling me about TB and how terrible it was.
