The pages were just as clean as they had been when they were first been bound. It was the year 1946 and I thumbed through to find the entry that I sought so many decades later. And there it was. Filed neatly under the heading " tonsils. "

I am a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. I am also a daughter, a sister and a person who believes in such things as a child's RIGHT to be a child.
The RIGHT to life, to believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa and that rainbows are a sign from God, not scary men dressed up as women. I believe that the fairies at the bottom of the garden are pretty little creatures who sprinkle fairydust and chat with butterflies and kiss my loved ones on the cheek. They fly on the backs of dragonflies and whisper soft words in little ears to calm them as they fall asleep.

Last night, our site suffered a bit of a hiccup... a massive attack that brought it to its knees. I have stayed up throughout the night to see if I could get it back and have managed to restore it to a few days ago. Sadly, several articles have been lost.
I apologise to everyone for the interruption to service!

Reginald Woolmington was a twenty-one-year-old farm labourer from Castleton, Dorset in the UK. Three months after he married seventeen-year- old Violet in November 1934, she gave birth to a child and left Woolmington following a dispute and returned to her mother. In the December following, Woolmington stole a double-barrelled shotgun and cartridges from his employer, sawed off the barrel and hid the weapon under his coat. He then bicycled over to his mother-in-law's house where he shot and killed Violet.

How many of us when we were young had a penpal? It is a tradition that has not survived in its old form... yet has it been re born in the form of social media?
The whole idea of snail mail seems rather absurd these days, when an email or a quick message in a forum or comments section can give us instant gratification.

We may believe that this is about a virus. We may FEAR this virus. We may dread what will happen in the next few months but I do not think we have seen anything yet.
China has been setting up the master chess play for decades. Quietly buying vital infrastructure in Australia and elsewhere- including its water and agricultural producing companies – Australia’s ports – leased for 99 years – and it has bought the State of Victoria for a who knows what payment to who knows who and for how knows how much.

Senator Malcolm Roberts appears to be a very sane man. We are fortunate to have him in our parliament. representing our views, concerns and - in this instance - our lives.
The evidence continues to mount that these vaccines do not deserve the continuing provisional approval given to them by the TGA. Concerns about possible adverse side effects are too big to ignore any longer.

The Australian government has extended its national vaccine rollout for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to include $1 billion of additional funding for injecting young children and babies.
While the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ATAGI) has only recommended the injections for children five years of age and older, Australian politicians have decided that they know better what the immune systems of little ones require.

Why did the US pacifist movement peak during Vietnam and then perish?
In contrast to modern conflicts, the Vietnam War attracted the wrath of the political left, which campaigned vehemently against it. The outrage even led to attacks on veterans. On Vietnam War Veterans Day, almost half a century after the last US troops left the country, we triy to understand – what was it about this particular conflict that struck a nerve?
