Is there anyone who has travelled both roads in direction of Dubbo? I have done the Toowoomba route, so thought a different way home would be good. However, I do not want a mountainous route and I dread towing the van up the range to Toowoomba. I travelled through Warwick many moons ago and have no recoll...

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Kahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age (I've just reached 60).A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 85?'He asked, 'Do you sm...

There was a perfect man who met a perfect woman. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve this perfect couple was driving along a winding road when they noticed someone at the roadside in distress. Being the pe...
