    Do you use a dishwasher?

    I finally got a 2 draw dishwasher about 4 months ago and would never not have one again. I turn it on before I go to bed and wake up to clean dry dishes all at the press of a button - love it!! :) Also bought one of those round automatic vaccuum cleaners that you switch on and set to vaccum for...

    What are you serving for Christmas Dinner?

    I'm 'skipping' Christmas this year and will be spending it on a beautiful island - the money I saved on not buying presents for anyone but my partner will be spent on cocktails and massages instead! :D JK

    art / painting investment

    I collect Charles Blackman, he's about 75 and not in good health so the prices of his work will sky rocket once he umm goes to heaven :) Also his daughters art work 'Christabel Blackman' is worth investing in. Others I like..are Gary Shead & David Boyd (though his etchings seem to be everywhere...

    Mum of two sleeping in car

    I read that she wouldn't give out her surname so as not to embarrass her children - helllloooo she just splashed the faces of her two young children over the news and every newspaper, doesn't she think people will know who they are now!! Some people just have s@#t for brains! I feel really sorry...

    The Bingle in the shower photo

    I agree with Sheryn. She was just 19 when she slept with a married guy, barely out of high school and most likely the maturity of a high schooler still. That dick Fevola was married with a child he shouldv'e known better & turned down her advances. From what I've read she doesn't have any assets...

    Eating Allen's Party Mix ...

    About 3 weeks I was booking a flight to Newcastle with Jetstar and after I booked it I got asked if I would do an online survey - usually I don't do these but that day I thought why not, so filled it in and pressed send. Today I got home from work to find a $100 Jetstar voucher as a thankyou for...

    I just came home from seeing My Sisters Keeper and see what you mean Pushka - they totally re-wrote the ending, its nothing like the ending in the book - I was SOOOO pissed off!! If they used the ending that was in the book it wouldv'e really gave the movie goers a 'OMG I didn't see that coming'...

    Interests

    I have never actually 'built' anything with my two hands and today after searching the internet for a Topiary frame in the shape of a horse and finding someone who makes them in Tassie but was going to charge me over $500 - bugger that!! I've decided to have a go and make one myself!! How hard...

    drink driving!!

    The following attachment is hopefully a BIG reminder why people shouldn't drink and drive... My brother was the driver of this car! He was hit last weekend by a woman who 'only had one drink more than she should have' and side swiped his car. He had to be cut out by the jaws of life because...

    Comment by 'Justkate' in media 'SVI_1563'

    Gosh this is beautiful, it reminds me when I lived at Falls Creek here in Vic, though must admit I was so over the cold after a few months and was happy when Spring came. There is somethng magical about the snow though I think :)

    Poor old lady - A sad state of affairs!

    "like the current generation of people who "don't want kids" will be VERY lonely older people." This would have to be one of the most ridiculous things I've read in ages. I can't have children as easy as most for medical reasons, and even then my Dr's can't guarentee that the medication I'd...

    How can people be so stupid???

    Since when has offering someone advice been considered being a super good samaritan? I mean isn't that what we do on here - offer people advice? Why not extend that to 'real' life? People offer me advice and I don't turn into some sort of stalker so saying that she would call him etc is abit far...

    How to get rid Ants?

    I woke up to a kitchen bench full of ants a few weeks ago and ants in my bathroom. I went to work and told an elderly collegue about it and she told me she swears by lemon dish washing liquid or listerine mouth wash. Went home to more ants and wiped down my kitchen with the lemon dish washing...

    US $$ questions...

    I know I can look up what our exchange rate is compared to other countries s_t. I don't think you're grasping exactly what I'm asking and I know I'm not articulating it well. Will try again... 1. Who or how is it decided what our $$ is worth. 2. Why does our $$ go down when the US has...

    US $$ questions...

    Hi... I was wondering if someone could answer the following questions in easy to understand form for me. 1. Why is our Aus $$ based on the US $$? America goes haywire and our Aus $$ goes down - why? 2. Why isn't our $$ based on say the Yen? Sorry if 'm not articulating myself well...
