I have done some 'different' things in the past few years (a couple that come to mind was swimming with freshwater crocs/flying in a helicopter with no doors) so I can do this - it is just taking th...

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women ...........she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following lett...

We have an 85 Coaster and in the wet it can be a bit scary trying to stop in a hurry as the rear brakes lock up, It even stalled the motor once and it wouldn't restart for about 5 min sitting at a set of lights in pouring rain. Now I know it can be caused by contaminated brakes shoes (Drums on rear) either oil seal...

This child was freezing without a coat. I was brought to tears by the one who helped. - It was a 5 degree day in New York City when this social experiment took place. This young boy was only wearing a t-shirt and no shoes, but many people walked on by and for two hours he received no help. As society has becom...

I just had my 6 mnth old van weighed (I stripped...

What I mean is; How/Why do people sell up everything and go on the road 'full time'? What happens when you need a base? What happens if you get too ill to travel anymore? We 'toured' Oz for 8 months last year but were so glad we had a home to come back to (we rented it out whilst away). We can't imagine selling E...

I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, t...
