    Over 16,500 infected! Older Australians urged to rethink travel amid THIS virus outbreak

    You stood on the side lines and never thought what may be? Could you or your “wise, informed observers” read the future? You are the one who pushed reality aside and followed the sheep. 🐑 Your statements show you’re the type who’d be a pushover because you’re too selfish to stand up and be...

    Could slower streets save lives? The push for 30km/h zones gains momentum

    Having lived in small country towns in the past, I can fully appreciate your frustrations!

    Councils are cracking down on artificial lawns—and the hidden cost isn’t what you’d expect

    No kidding. Did you read my reply to @MariaG? Who wants a patch of their front yard to look like a kiddie playground (without the swings, slides etc).

    Councils are cracking down on artificial lawns—and the hidden cost isn’t what you’d expect

    This post is directed to @GoodEnough Polluting the whole world?!?🤣 What a joke! If I were in the same situation as @MariaG, I would do the same. Who wants to have the look of a kiddie playground in their front yard? And it’s only for a small patch of the yard. Besides, have you researched...

    Councils are cracking down on artificial lawns—and the hidden cost isn’t what you’d expect

    I’m with you @MariaG! It makes the most sense to me too having a small patch of artificial lawn in your front yard. I’ve seen some that I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between real or not. It all depends on the quality and the correct installation that makes the difference. Some people...

    Could slower streets save lives? The push for 30km/h zones gains momentum

    That’s what would worry me most, the “driver” losing control and hitting a person or a house. It’s certainly not unheard of. It happened years ago when my son was a passenger in the car being driven by his then girlfriend. Smashed straight into a house. Luckily no one was seriously hurt...

    TV veteran's drastic move sparks vital conversation for older Australians: 'I am just disgusted'

    I can’t imagine I would be of any threat to thugs. Particularly as they are too gutless to act alone. I don’t resemble Xena Warrior Princess and I don’t carry weapons on me, but perhaps it’s time to rethink my safety? 💪🏻 🔪 🛡️ 🏹🤺🏏🌂

    Over 16,500 infected! Older Australians urged to rethink travel amid THIS virus outbreak

    Australian support for South Vietnam in the early 1960s was in keeping with the policies of other nations to stem the spread of communism in Europe and Asia. The "domino theory" was a realistic justification, that if Vietnam fell to communism, neighbouring countries would follow, creating a...

    TV veteran's drastic move sparks vital conversation for older Australians: 'I am just disgusted'

    You’ve hit the nail on the head with your last sentence @Colette 3799. I’m not downplaying the crime in Melbourne, but the media has always been known to sensationalise their reporting. It’s important to be aware, but listen to our gut instincts. The media is all about getting attention...

    'I'm home' note that Australia Post completely ignored—and why it happens more than you think

    I’ve not had problems with Australia Post. I agree that Couriers Please would be the worst with Aramex being only slightly better.

    Hidden costs ahead?! Why you need to read your Medicare annual notice NOW

    Many of us hear you @Cheezil. My medication scripts are increasing (in quantity and cost), as I get older. I tried the “natural” route for many years in the past, visiting various naturopaths, trying to get the results I was after. But for me, it proved useless. And expensive. In the meantime...

    Calls for Australia to follow England's ban on supermarket junk food specials

    I must have my antidepressants each day. I know I’ll have to take them for the rest of my life. If I forget in the morning, then by the end of the day, I get quite dizzy, hear cartoon-like spring noises in my head, (don’t know how else to describe it), feel a bit like I have the flu and worst of...

    Calls for Australia to follow England's ban on supermarket junk food specials

    Thank you for your kind words @Sherril54. I’m ok. Depression is a weird beast that raises its ugly head from time to time for no obvious reason. Just been a part of me since my pre teen/ teen days. I know you understand. I hope all is going well for you and your loved ones. 🥰

    Age-defying journey challenges what parenthood can look like

    Save your words for those who may be gullible enough to want to hear them. I don’t believe in your god or any god. I made up my own mind many years ago that religion is evil. End of story.

    When Halloween horror goes too far: Parents push back against ‘graphic’ store displays

    If you want to celebrate Halloween then do it. If you don’t want to celebrate Halloween, then don’t. What’s the big deal? I’ve never handed out lollies to rot the little beggars’ teeth. My choice. Never had any nasty repercussions.

    Calls for Australia to follow England's ban on supermarket junk food specials

    Love your reply@Littleboy! ❤️ Honesty…too bad more people don’t give it a go. I get fed up with those who try to shove their self righteous views down peoples’ throats. You don’t do that. For that, I thank you and appreciate your honesty. I’m in a bit of a mood right now.
