    The Half-Price Meat Deal at Woolworths is whipping up a shopping frenzy

    Like I said I ordered this pork deal twice on day one and two and both times was told 'out of stock'

    Dementia units falling short: Shocking numbers reveal only 12 of 35 promised by 2023 are operational!

    My 91yo mother-in-law is in the mid stages of dementia. Her well managed nursing home doesn't isolate her or similar residents from anybody. It's just one big family of visiting doctors, physios, hairdressers, entertainers, volunteers, 46 residents, RNs, nurses, maintenance gal, domestic and...

    What's the worst part of being an Aussie actress? Cate Blanchett reveals the truth

    I spent 30+ years in that world from performing to directing/producing and yes it can be a cocoon existence... some feeling they're a notch above the plebs and sometimes preaching their opinions as gospel from some moral and/or political highground. The hugely successful, like Cate, have a ton...

    72-year-old reveals why and how she's dating men half her age

    No I'm fine. My spouse of 36 fun years together is 21 years my junior. Working and travelling the world has been great. He's an engineer and a punk musician so it can be a Jekyll and softer Hyde scenario around 'gig' times.

    Another lawsuit against a popular airline for ‘misleading’ customers - here’s what you need to know

    We travelled Newcastle to Perth one way on credit saved from covid lockdown cancelations with Virgin Airlines. Because I was recuperating from a serious leg injury we decided to blow all the credit on 'comfortable' business class seats. They weren't as good as Japan's Jal premium coach. Nice...

    Sailor Jessica Watson shares emotional Instagram post after her partner's shocking death

    Spouse and I have dueling wrist BP bands. They were cheap but are accurate. Can't just rely on drugs tho...moving off the sofa and avoiding day long grazing is the key. Covid lockdowns and semi retirement was our downfall but a couple of serious health scares got us back on the right track 😊

    Have you ever accidentally broken the law?

    I took my lovely placid elderly aunt, who was well into dementia and living in a nursing facility, shopping. Aunty Boo filled up the trolley quicker than I could empty it with all sorts of cleaning gear. After a short conversation we agreed on buying just a couple of small but unnecessary items...

    What are your thoughts on King Charles III's coronation?

    Doesn't matter what we think of the royal family. We lived in London for a year and if the Brits criticised any of them they would also defend them against any negative views of visitors. The 'Family' is a huge business which does impressive charity, community and promotion work for the country...

    Expo ‘88

    The Vatican exhibition was the most interesting. After waiting in a long queue we found the German one disappointing. Lunch by the river was nice but wonder if the painted trees survived.

    Hustling For Pocket Money

    As a 13yo in 1953 I was the first female in Paddington, Sydney to sell newspapers on the street and in the pubs until my stepfather saw me calling "papers, papers!" in our local. After that I made 'quality but cheap' lemon tarts and other sweets for my convent school mates until my beautiful...

    Legal scam?

    Legal scam? Hi everyone I really enjoy my 'seniors discount club' read every morning. This platform may be the wrong one to voice my concern though today. I am, however, also writing to Tourism Australia, TripAdvisor, Seniors and other affiliates. Have spoken to Virgin Cruises and My Cruises...

    Elva Hi, I've joined the 'Octogenarian' club as well :) My husband works part time in his solo small engineering company in which I still do a little tax auditing, eofy. Have enjoyed the mail from the Seniors discount club every morning.
