I recently wrote a blog about Gen Y lingo and thought it would be interesting to compare it with the past two generations to see how things have changed. Believe it or not we Baby Boomers used some pretty cool lingo. We actually invented words such as: dig, groovy, funky, far out, stoned and…

Last night I had this dream. I was sitting at a candlelit table for two with a gorgeous man and he was massaging my foot under the table. But I was paying no attention to him – I was salivating over a plate of moreton bay bugs with a side of aioli and kipfler…

I must have been born with a dishcloth in one hand and a shopping trolley in the other! As all I seem to do in my place of abode is wipe the kitchen benches down, clean up spills/crumbs/sauces and duck down to the local Supermarket to get some more milk/fruit/bread! I am almost certain…
