    The One Fruit That Could Put You at Risk if You Take These Common Medications

    No need to give up completely - my doctor says 2 or 3 bananas a week is fine, just not daily since putting me in BP meds

    Don't make this mistake on your next flight! Here’s where you should never stand on a plane

    All common sense advice! But most planes are simply far too crowded and too big. The seats, leg room and aisles are getting narrower as humans get bigger. It makes no sense at any time but even less since the pandemic - which won't be our last as we're often warned with people FLYING (!!) all...

    Kmart launches budget-friendly $49 'dupe' for a luxury item that retails for $170

    My darling late husband did just that! Bought me a massive book I wanted on world architecture (310 x 450 x 55mm & weighs about 8kgs) and put legs on it because he thought that was what coffee table book meant 🤣

    The world's favourite treat is facing a growing threat with no solution

    This $20 meat pie has hundreds lining up! Does it live up to the hype?

    Yes indeed! Hard to pick a favourite there too! Guinness? Cauliflower? Thai? Chicken & mushroom? Dang! I am getting in the car now!!

    ALDI's newest product is made-in-China and it’s getting mixed reactions from shoppers

    I agree! My daughter buys it & keeps telling me how wonderful it is but I don't agree. I will stick to my usual brand.

    Reserve Bank says Aussies are 'trying to look rich' instead of being financially responsible

    Indeed! And the head of the bloody reserve bank gets paid (I refuse to say he earns!) more than our prime minister ! How cruel and hypocritical to criticise Aussies who just want to not be scrapping the bottom of the barrel every week!

    One mum warns that this common snack could be deadly

    One of my kids choked on a bit of ice which was supposedly to be safer than letting her have iceblocks - and another on an innocent little pink Pascal's marshmallow !! True ! Maybe all the panic merchants would like to ban all food and liquid ?

    Looking for a budget-friendly and space-saving Christmas tree? Look no further than Kmart!

    But there always seem to be tons of little corner units etc for sale on marketplace & cane ones will work well too. I WAS contemplating buying a tree this year .... having finally donated the 20 year old one to Vinnies a few months ago because the 6' tree takes over my lounge room BUT I do have...

    Distressing reports of Remembrance Day disrespect - what has become of our nation?

    And that 'stop living in the past' attitude is precisely why wars continue to happen, isn't it? As Winston Churchill said in a 1948 speech to the House of Commons in Britain: "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it" (paraphasing George Santayana) and here we go again...

    Find out what this real estate agent did that made their tenant so ANGRY!

    Oh for heaven's sake! How do so many people not know the LAWS governing residential rentals - for tenants, landlords & real estate managers? I am a landlord myself & assure you that it is never up to individual landlords (or ill-educated agents) to determine how people live (including whether...

    Vegetarian frequent flyer left hungry — and angry — after Qantas meal refusal

    Personally speaking - and I fly a lot both domestically & internationally (or rather I did before the pandemic) - I would love to see no food or drink on any flight under 4 hours duration. It is transport - not a bloody restaurant! We don't need to be eating & drinking constantly. Even on long...

    One woman's life was RUINED by 24 words - this could happen to YOU too

    Once I can understand but to keep going back and trying again? That is the same as gambling really ........ you take the risk trying to get rich quick, you have to be prepared for losses. Doing anything which is risky (like bitcoin is!) is simply asking for problems IMHO. When will people pay...

    These are the strange things people around the world THINK Aussies keep in their homes! Do you agree?

    I love freaking overseas friends & relatives out because my daughter is a vet nurse who specialises in neonatal care of Australian wildlife. She is an expert on hand-raising possums (these 3 are just my favourites) and she is a real wizard with birds 😁 We regularly have kookaburras, galahs &...

    Kmart shoppers are horrified by this 'embarrassing' detail in the store's popular $9 shoes

    I bought a pair of Homy Ped court shoes for work once & they 'farted' constantly but randomly 🤣 It was mortifying as the office was super quiet ..... Even after trying so many so-called remedies & buying expensive insoles they continued to embarrass me so they went to the op shop - with a note...

    The rise of taxidermy rates: Would you be willing to keep your pet with you forever?

    Like most normal people!! Even though I don't much like her, I love this quote by Ellen DeGeneres 'I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her'

    This savvy shopper's secret will help you get your hands on this popular item for less!

    My mum gave my dad one decades ago .... my dad gave it to my husband when dad retired ...... my husband used it as a drawer liner in his sock drawer 🤣

    An Aussie woman is disputing her $1000 driving offence, but some people think she deserved it – do you agree?

    I wonder when everyone who gets into a car or on a bike will ever realise they are risking their life every second. Anything else which kills & maims so many people would have been banned or restricted by now but sadly, most think nothing of jumping into/onto a vehicle simply because it is so...

    ALDI may be the most budget-friendly supermarket, but here's WHY you should 'think twice' before going

    Actually they don't. Aldi Australasia is a self supporting separate entity. All profits are reinvested in Aldi Australia's local operation. Aldi pay tax under the same rules as Coles & Woolies & most other retailers. Yes, they are a Limited Entity company but they are governed by Australian...
