We've been looking for a professional sized wood chipper for a long time, but they're hard to find and very expensive. We have just taken the opportunity to buy one at a knock down price, BUT it's broken. The clutch is broken and...

sharra1 Hmmm well in that case it is just a matter of deciding if you can fix it. If you are sure that you can replace the part, and are sure everything else is fine then it seems worth the risk. Machines like that are very expensive when new. Buy second hand is a...

sharra1 No. It is false economy. For that matter I would never sell anything that is broken as I think it is unfair to the buyer. It is a risk. They may well be getting rid of it because the cost of the repair is too high or they know it is not repairable. If you had...

About 8 months ago we put our house on the market, and in that time we have had all of 3 inspections, none of which showed any interest whatsoever. We were beginning to think we'd be stuck here forever, in a state now ruled by a...

sharra1 Well we have been living in our new house for just over two months now and we love the place. There has been one problem with a leaking roof that we are getting fixed and we are angry that the building inspector failed to mention this problem but despite this...

sharra1 Of course women can drink beer if they wish to. Why should they feel guilty about drinking anything? I do not drink it because I do not like the taste but I have tried it. I much prefer cider or wine. I see nothing wrong with drinking alcohol as long as it is...

No, I'm not back lol, just visiting briefly. For those of my friends who might be interested, I thought I might update the interstate move. Our intention was to rent for six months and have a good look around, but had an...

sharra1 The picture on street view does not include people and any possible link to one such as number plates are blocked out for privacy but it was nice to have a look at the surroundings. It feels strange to me to have bought a house I have only seen pictures of but...

sharra1 Hmmm it is such a lovely house, I fell in love with it on line and still look at the pics to convince myself I am not dreaming. It seems like my dream house even though I have only seen pictures. I hope that the town works out alright as well but at least the...

sharra1 That's for sure. We have had lots of things cause us trouble in the process but now things seem to be going just fine. I think we will actually get a bit of a holiday out of our trip and that will be nice because we have not had one for years.

Robert Kiyosaki has a point. "Money does not make you happy. But lack of money can cause you unhappiness." I say... Those who think that money is not important are in delusion. It is one of the best excuses cleverly created...

sharra1 I would add that I sacrificed my life to work, never got married and had no children. Now I am nearly 60 and have no children and never will have. I became ill and had to quit work and most of my money has been invested in my home so I have little left for the...

sharra1 Money will only make you happy if the things that make you happy are possessions and only possessions. Not having enough money to buy the things you need can quite often make you depressed. However, there is a big difference between the things we need and...

sharra1 I went through my photo collection a little while ago and I was surprised at the boyfriend pictures I had. I have never got rid of them because they are links to my past. I had forgotten all about them and it was a surprise to me that I had so many. I only...

I have a neighbour who won't leave well alone. He's not as bad as he used to be, but takes any opportunity to catch me alone and make inappropriate suggestions. A couple of months ago I thought I'd finally shown him that I wasn't...

sharra1 It is difficult and you definitely would not want any friend in trouble for helping out. I suppose the only thing you can do it avoid the man and make sure others know to do the same if you can. It makes life difficult.

I just finished a book about marriage (yes, another Kindle freebie!) and it reminded me of the funniest piece of relationship advice I ever heard. I can't remember where I heard it now, but it was one of those books that suggests...

sharra1 Half an oral? I have not heard that one before, I thought it used to be called teasing. I have heard of the submissive wife idea though, it is just a revamping of the old Patriarchal marriage where the wife is a slave and the husband rules the roost. Some...

sharra1 I would have slapped his face at the very least. I think the other suggestions here are also good. People like this are disgusting and unless someone fixes him he will not stop. You could report him to police. They will not be able to do anything but it would...
