Hi my name is Diggy, I'm an octogenarian rapper (my carer said I shouldn't make such false claims) but at my age who gives a whatsit?
Now to reality - I love being online but getting access to online stuff is getting complicated and even, you won't believe it, expensive.
It would be good if this noble & august organisation which has, surprisingly, just accepted me as a member (I usually prescribe to Groucho Marx's dictum not to join clubs which deign to accept me as a member) could persistently lobby Telstra to provide pensioners (of all kinds) with discounts.
Happy Pensioning, All
Welcome to the SDC community Diggy! Thank you for joining us! You can be whatever you want! I believe you! :giggle: You may want to start with our Deals, Discounts and Bargain forum because I agree, everything's becoming very expensive! Please feel free to explore our different forums and join in the conversations, too! Take care and stay safe always! Cheers!

Good afternoon

Thanks for accepting me. I live in Canberra.

I am a retired podiatrist receptionist and am enjoying my retirement knitting, crocheting reading and gardening at the moment as we are in lock down.

I love to travel when I can and am looking forward to seeing more of the world when I can.

Stay safe and well everyone.


PS Comet is our dog!!!!
Thank you for letting me join hi I’m Danise
 
Hi everyone, My name is Carol. I lost my beloved soul-mate of 36 and 1/2 years, 3 years ago this June, & I'm still unable to accept or process that he's gone, but I have my faith & that brings me comfort. I have 2 kidlings & 5 grandkidlings, all of whom I love dearly. I love watching them all grow up & I love spoiling them rotten!! I also have a lovely puppy, Bella, who's 5 and 1/2 years old & is a Staffie cross Bull Arab & weighs around 35 kilos. She loves people, but when she barks to say hello, she's very intimidating & so people keep their distance. This works well when door to door sales people are roaming the streets & knocking at my door!! Each day it's Bella who keeps me going, as I know I have to look after her & give her the best life possible. She sticks to me like glue, & on more than one occasion she has managed to unceremoniously kick me out of bed when she stretches out fully!! Bella is a gentle giant without a mean bone in her body. I love all the puzzles & information in your newsletters, & I look forward to being involved with the SDC. Many blessings.....
