Older people deserve better. I'm thankful that my father-in-law assured we'd get the house and can live comfortably. Mum is in a care home and won'r ne living here again because of the level of care she needs. IF she could come home Jason and I would be advocating for as we've done since...

If only Honey Baked Spiral Ham would catch on here!

Seriously, Seniors Discount Club? I read that as "That 70's Show" star. Enough. Put the names in so we can decide if we want to read it, or look at a legitimate news site. That little clickbait scheme? Doesn't work on me or any reasonably savvy internet user. It shows your disrespect for your...

Oh boy, yeah... my husband does not let me go out alone. You'd think, small regional town, about everyone knows everyone, you're safe. NOPE! My first month here, we went to K-Mart. Walking from the parking lot, we saw a .. well, we call them natives around here, taking a #2 against the wall...

I've never understood why dental is not covered more in the health insurance policies. My husband and I have top hospital and mid-extras. Top hospital is what I insisted on. I've never been in a ward in my like and I am not starting now. I don't like sharing rooms either, other than with my...

We had a less than hour long flight yesterday and the idiot in front of me *tried* to recline before it was allowed. I think my pushing at that seat might have sent the message :)

Yeah, no doubt. Yet the bloody bank cannot get it into my account by midnight the day of deposit. Usually noon or after *mutter*

We live in a small mining town in Western Australia. Flights to and from Perth are often at least 80% FIFO (and that's another GRRR!). My husband and I were flying back home after a left shoulder replacement for me. As the FIFO were boarding, one slammed into my left shoulder, and knocked the...

She should be jailed, along with her Aussie cameraperson, and then kicked out for good!

I just showed this to my husband and said I hope that wasn't Dad's super. Yep. It was.. My mother-in-law and husband each get 50% of it, and it was supposed to be put in our accounts last month. My husband is emailing the lawyers handing Dad's estate. Granted there is one problem, his older...

Yeah, I know. I *hate* Centreflunk though. They pushed my husband onto that bloody cashless debit card, and you KNOW they would refuse certain purchases. I had to laugh when they allowed a purchase I made of Poison t-shirts.. LOL! It was like, you won't let us buy such and such, but this you...

Yeesh. My husband and I only fly from Kalgoorlie to Perth, and the only issue we've ever had is when one flight had us on aisle seats. That does not work. I'm a nervous flier, and disabled. My husband is my Carer and comfort on flights. The flight attendants claimed they couldn't fix it. So we...

They don't access our accounts, huh? My income is from Social Security Disability Income, from America. They adjust my husband's Carer and Supplement payment every fortnight, because mine changes because of exchange rates. And even more adjusting is done, because I only get one check a month!

In 2008, when I was living with my parents, getting ready to come to Australia in 2009, we took a long road trip, to see family in Kansas City, Mo, and to look at retirement homes for my parents. My dad touched my heart by insisting that I had to be able to live with them (in case things didn't...

Nope. Our late dog, Jelly, would bark her head off, but she was an inside dog, and would hide on our bed if a stranger came in! LOL! We *did* have a problem with a Team Global Express "delivery" person. Got the infamous card, and I got more angry than usual. I sent a blistering email to their...

Our family dog was a puppy when my sister was one or so. One of the cutest home movies shows them sharing a playpen :)

Ugh. I used to go to Washington DC a lot, and those window wipers were insane! They were a danger to themselves with traffic (worse than Perth, I swear!), and to the people they tried to get money out of, even when the wipe is refused!

Urban Legend - Cat's will steal bub's breath, will smother them, etc. FALSE! I have never had my own child (*not* by choice), but I babysat a lot of littlies. My youngest nephew from my first marriage used to nap, his head on Sasha, my first cat. She was a lovely cat, and she loved littlies...

No kidding. My disability pension is from the US. Centreflunk deducts from my husbands Carer Pension depending on the exchange rate for my SSDI. They *can* be beat though. They tried to deduct a lot from his jobseeker when we first got married. We fought it (it was over personal information...

I am so sorry, Deni :( I hope they manage to get it all! I know what you mean.. I've taken to just keeping a list of operations on my medicine list (husband does actually, he's my carer). Honestly, I never had my tonsils out and then suddenly in my 30's I ended up having my gall bladder...
