Hope I'm not going over old posts, but I was amazed to find this. This is really heartwarming - pay taxes and work all your life and at age 65 instead of being revered by society, we get dumped on from a great height. Don't get hurt by falling off the ladder or doing other dangerous chores around the house...

From a USA newsletter: Pfizer now anticipates revenue from the two-dose vaccine this year to reach $33.5 billion for the 2.1 billion doses it's contracted to provide by year end. No wonder Slo-Mo wants us to get the AlkaSeltzer!!! My little calculator won't calculate the per shot cost!

Hi Does anyone know much about the Rent assistance form that is required from centrelink for permanent travelling as we live in our van. They gave me some forms but just wanted help with it if possible. Can't seem to get anyone on the phone.

I am not very good at sharpening chainsaws :( I think I make one side sharper than the other which causes the saw to cut in an arc and the bar to bind in the wood. I use a hand file in a Stihl guide and regularly rotate the file a little, nevertheless it doesn't seem to help much. I'm wondering if one of the 12V sh...

I read last night on Facebook that the two water tanks in Hughenden have been painted in June 2021. When I saw the photo of the one in Alyss Street I thought it was a silo by the shape of it. The other is in McLaren Street. Has anyone got photos they'd like to post?

Our foam double mattress could do with a little more umph and we are thinking of a mattress topper, either the egg carton stuff or maybe the flat memory foam. Can anyone advise on this topic? -- Edited by albro on Friday 15th of April 2016 01:05:07 PM
