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...

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 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 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.

In another discussion I mentioned sexism and misogyny in politics, and it occurred to me to look up some figures. The results surprised, and somewhat pleased me as an Australian. In Australia currently 32% of federal...

sharra1 rollo1, the stepford wife issue is not about a woman who chooses to stay home and have children but one where the wife has no thoughts of her own and is totally obedient to the husband as in a robot. The whole point of the issue is that the men replaced their...

How would the people in the West respond if a Muslim makes a movie similar to 'innocence of Muslims' in the name of freedom of speech? Would such a person be labelled as a racist or close to lunatic? Or what if a white makes a...

sharra1 Yes I know about America trading with Germany and England was pro German and anti Jewish as well. The Americans had no intention of fighting Germany and did not get involved in the war until after Japan bombed pearl harbour. Then they decided they had to get...

Was that the last straw? Or did it create intense pain in the hearts of the poor to provoke them into the famous French Revolution? Was the remark innocuous? Or was it a deliberate ridicule? Suppose you all were the...

sharra1 I see your point. There will always be lazy people and I have no idea how to deal with them without hurting the others. However, it is not good to go from the particular to the general. It happens all the time in my country where everyone who is out of work or...

Media, particularly the radio style talk-back hate hosts, have a lot to anser for. We have one mongrel here in Australia who has taken the art to its extreme. He gave a speech at a Liberal (Conservative) Party student meeting...

sharra1 She could sue for defamation but it would not work politically as they would attack her for doing so, probably as a sign of weakness. After all the attackers pretend the attacks are not sexist when they are clearly so.

sharra1 Before the Muslim world starts attacking embassies over a stupid film they should look at their own world. In Afghanistan how many of the innocents are killed by Americans and how many by their own people? The torture and murder of young girls who just want an...

sharra1 I do not agree that the poor are often lazy, there are some might be like but most are poor because no matter how hard they work they will never earn enough as their wages are too low. The French revolution was not just about the poor. The peasants did not...

sharra1 The dressing has nothing to do with it but it was used by defense lawyers to argue that the girl was asking for it by her dress and behavior. Too often women were blamed for being victims and shunned for getting the boy into trouble. These days that is less...
