    'This is exactly why I am exposing them': Former officer blows whistle over 'twisted game' by the police

    I read this and can only wish them to walk in other peoples' shoes. How would these numbats feel if this was a picture of a mum, sister, wife, grandma, or, anyone they care about.

    RED FLAGED

    Looks enough to go into panic look by pressing the link. MyGov does not do that. In my experience, they tell you to go into your account mailbox by logging on. I would think that is something most people understand. It's too late to say woops once one presses the link. Stop and think.

    'What a b******* notice': Renters push back after receiving unreasonable charges

    I have to wonder why the realisation suddenly dawned. Was it in the original lease? No, it wasn't. Someone has planted the seed in this person's ear and he/she has gone gang busters on a profit spree. As a landlord over past years, it was mandatory for me to advise that water use will be...

    'My wife is the worst backseat driver... am I wrong to refuse to drive with her?'

    Back in the day, before hubby took ill, he used to do the majority of the driving. He was a good driver but abrupt. I used to spend most of the journey holding on to the Jesus Christ handle above the window. The only time I said anything was when he didn't use the blinker. It was like it would...

    We were fortunate to plan our drop off the perch home after downsizing twice. Took us 15 years of planning, but it was worthwhile. My home is small, but designed totally with aging in mind. The drive in garage is the first I have had out of all my homes. That, for me, is a huge safety factor...

    She gave birth at 66—here’s why she chose to have a 10th child at such an age

    That's probably true, and, that's why I am sorry for them. The old saying, it takes a village.... doesn't apply here, because, the siblings are the village.
