The double standard is in the fact that no one will think any less of the man for wearing jeans and no one will think he is not doing his job. If women do it, they are frowned upon, sent home, or don't get promoted. As Geoff said, a man can wear the same suit day in day out, no questions asked...

I wear high heels, although they get less high as I get older. Skirts and pants are fine, as long as they're smart and professional. When I first started work we were not allowed to wear pants. Times have changed. I prefer pants to skirts. Personally, I think that as long as it is neat and...

People's pets are taken all the time for the purpose of cooking. One woman in China lost her cat, only to find a online video of her next door neighbour doing a cooking demonstration using the pet cat as the meat. It's horrible and the sooner the Chinese and other Asian governments ban the...

Just this morning I was thinking to myself, "Why does no one do April Fool's jokes any more?" lol, thanks for reintroducing the April Fool gag PB.

If you have the electronic version and the stream of emails, you will be okay. I am not able to download your attachments. Give it to your lawyer. Contracts can get messy when many people have to sign. In any event, from what I've seen, the excuse of 'accident' won't stand up in court, if it...

I had no help with my children. I had a husband who worked very long hours and no family here. I didn't go to the dentist or the hairdresser for about five years. I still remember going to the dentist after many years and having both children playing 'chasey' around the big chair while I had a...

Mr Fab, did you mum get diagnosed or did you do the diagnosing? I have known a couple of people with BPD. It's not something you would wish on anyone. There is a lot of suffering involved. It's very difficult to live with someone who has BPD. Dr Lynehan , who herself suffered from what doctors...

I agree: some people really don't need meditation. For me, I don't do meditation with an end goal in mind. Happiness is one of its by-products. The ability to see how we often create our own 'suffering' by our thoughts, or to lessen its effects when it enters your life are also benefits of...

Okay PB, I thought it wouldn't be nice if she were to see that someone had said about her. At that age girls are self-conscious and sensitive about their bodies and looks.

Hi Xenia, I think they're for different things. What are the books you've written? I'd love to read them. I don't like meditation either, but I do it because it does help me if ever I get anxious. It's really a discipline (or a training of the brain) to turn off the never-ending thoughts...

No, she's beautiful--just what a nine year old should be. And she looks HEALTHY, which is the main thing.

That's funny.

Before she moved in, this tenant was the epitome of charm. She could get up in the morning; she was lucid; she was articulate & chatty. There is nothing wrong with her-she is able-bodied & of sound mind (when she chooses to be). As soon as she moved in, she became another person. She doesn't...

Highlygeared, maybe you don't have to be there the whole time. Can you be there at the start and then drop in again to check they're cleaning the way you want?

Yes, the bear and the lion. I think that while my children were growing up I made most of the cakes in the Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book. Some looked fine and some were verging on hilarious. lol. I heard a funny joke the other night about the WW Children's Birthday Cake book...

We have both Koko Black & Max Brenner in Canberra. I find that they are for different markets. I love both for different reasons. My favourite at Koko Black at their mixed plates. Yum. imho, Koko Black has better quality chocolate. Max Brenner makes some amazing old-fashioned milkshakes and...

Highly Geared, I don't know whether I would use airtasker to find someone to install a kitchen. Maybe not. But yesterday I saw plenty of ads of people asking someone to install a kitchen, eg Ikea.

I have just used Airtasker for the first time and am quite impressed with how easy it is. Just load a task. People then apply and you assign the task and communicate. As a sidenote, I am not in any way affiliated with airtasker.com. MTR, if you are still looking for someone to clean your...

Wow, I am so impressed with that birthday cake! It looks fantastic. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Hi Kathryn, yes, we're working on it. It's extremely difficult to get people out here in Canberra.
