    This woman is torn between a long-planned holiday vs her mother-in-law’s surgery. What would you do?

    If you have to, hire someone to keep an eye on her and ferry her about for post surgery appointments. If she is on Aged Care, they should be able to help. Go on your trip....life is short.

    Public toilets now need a secret key—yes, really

    I have experienced an issue with accessing a disability toilet in a shopping centre I'm not sure why this particular one had a lock, but I was wheeling my hubby in a fairly vast centre, and, when he had to go...he had to go. We were confronted with a sign saying, press the button and talk to the...

    Family reveals new details about famous star's dementia journey

    It's hard to believe that someone who was always out there and very, very pro-active can fall victim to this horrible illness. Doesn't matter who you are, how much money you have, how much love is around you, this bloody thing will get you if it wants. The last thing we wanted for my mum was to...

    Is this woman's behaviour a sign of love, or a red flag for a toxic friendship?

    This has all the hall marks of future stalker. The main thing in this situation is to protect the baby and mum. Someone who is so emotionally attached could easily turn to reactive behaviour. Not a good situation. One thing for certain. I would never ask her to babysit. Cut all ties, even if...

    No dog deserves this—so why are drivers still doing it?

    I do call them my babies, because they are. When my hubby realised he wasn't going to last too much longer, he insisted we get two puppies. My Bonnie & Clyde were born as we watched. It was very special. After my John died, these two little bundles of fur have kept my days bearable. Don't...

    Dishwasher mistakes costing seniors hundreds and the unexpected items safe to wash inside

    I have a dishwasher for after visitor use. I am not a dish washing devotee, but do so by hand when it is just me. When I have 5 over for a sit down meal, the dishwasher is very much a time saver and my creaky bones are grateful. Something I have worked out is to have all white crockery. That...

    What do you think is the worst part about living in Australia? Locals share their confessions

    It would be nice to have a white Christmas. I only say that because my mum talked about her childhood in Lithuania and the snow in December was the only thing she missed. I haven't put travelling to a colder climate in December on my bucket list because I don't travel. I'll just remember the...

    No dog deserves this—so why are drivers still doing it?

    Yes. The dogs can't be nursed on a lap or be allowed to run loose in the car. Stands to reason the risk of a dog suddenly wanting cuddles is a definite possibility. I can't quote rules, but was told so by an ex police officer.

    No dog deserves this—so why are drivers still doing it?

    I couldn't help but pat myself on the back while reading this. I just got home from the pet store after I purchased a rear seat protector and little doggy seat belt attachments for my Bonnie and Clyde. Why? Because my prince and princess are not happy in the dog baskets and kept trying to jump...

    This Australian mother is trapped in Peru—Could your help save her life?

    Here is another good reason not to seek budget surgeries overseas. I wonder why it is such a draw card when you take into account the price of air fares and accommodation whilst in recovery, along with the expense incurred by a companion. Doesn't matter where you go, there will always be a...

    No knock, no parcel: Aussie’s note to postie strikes a nerve

    I have been quite lucky over the years. Before COVID I got to know my courier lady quite well. She even left a little note in sympathy for losing my little dog. She was a good person. Then, COVID and all the changes. Different couriers who were too busy to get to know anyone. But, never any...

    Your morning bowl might be hiding a health risk more serious than you think

    Oooh... I've been eating semolina since I was a kid. It's harder to find on the shelves, but worth the search.
