    LOL (truly!) :D Sometimes The Onion is funnier than others... this one is gold. Thanks for the belly laugh, GP. :) It's reminiscent of this one (thanks mja) "somebody is wrong on the internet". I'm sure many of us can relate to that one. :o

    You'll be grateful when you start negotiating real estate. People tend to assume that we "height disadvantaged" ladies are a push-over. You can use this to your advantage. ;)

    I can relate... My 8yo sons have gotten interested in the music charts this year. For the first time in about 20 years I know more than one song in the top 20! (I'm not yet sure if that's a good thing or not. :p) My kids were way impressed when I knew more about will.i.am than they did. I...

    Watch a non-government employer try and get away with this nonsense. :rolleyes: Unfunded super is an enormous issue and should be addressed by the government ASAP.

    I'm pretty sure my Mum was a pretty big party girl as a younger woman, and I remember her frequently saying in her late thirties: "Who wants to go to Heaven when none of your friends will be there?" :p

    We had guinea pigs a few years ago, but for us, they were not a successful pet. Our sons never got interested in them, and they just became something on my "to do" list. After about 18 months, we found Tim's guinea pig, Ralph, dead in the cage. So we sat them down and earnestly said that we...

    It looks like the consensus is that ketchup usually contains vinegar, and is sweeter. :) Even if they were the same, gg1965, what's the point of asking for tomato sauce in the USA? Doesn't that make you as much of a (insert pejorative) as an American who'd say in Australia "No, I don't...

    I giggle every time I pass a local secondhand store, recalling a conversation a few years ago. I was looking for a bed frame for the spare room, and went in and asked (after looking and not seeing any): "Do you have any queen size bed frames?" "Nah, love, we only stock doubles." "That's...

    I knew my Mum needed glasses when I had to start holding up the menu for her, whilst sitting opposite her; her arms weren't long enough to get it at the right focal length. ;) Though she only started wearing glasses at about 58... I've started at 39. :o

    The design for my new post-flood kitchen has been finalised! It's going to be white, magenta, and stainless steel. I absolutely adore the papery-looking textured white laminate which I found for the doors. It doesn't look at all like a woodgrain; more like crushed paper that they sometimes use...

    A few each year - you lucky sods! Our kids' school always puts in for one, and only about 50% of applicants get their one slot per year - fortunately we got one the last two years. The restrictions on what you get must be a decision of the local store.

    D'oh! Gees, between our bin being collected on Mondays, and living near the bottom of a hill, you must really think us living in a slum! LOL Next time you come to Brisbane, perhaps you'd like to venture over and see how the poor people live? :D Bunnings BBQs... have been involved in a couple...
