The good old days
My husband was checking his facebook page the other day telling me how many people sent him birthday wishes. He was quite chuffed with himself. I told him they weren't real birthday wishes (I was being mean). He said he didn't care what I [...]
A bit more respect for sharks, please
This is from my Gen X Girl column that appears weekly in the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. Sharks are misjudged. And it’s all the fault of the media and its loose use of terms such as shark attack. And Hollywood is to blame as well. [...]
Inspiration ad will make you look better. Maybe.
I love the Bupa ads that inspire you to be a better you. I often wake up on Monday morning looking like the lesser version. Take a look and see if these images inspire you for 2012. By the way--these Bupa ads--what on earth is Bupa?
Stupid stuff from 2011
This is from my weely Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townville Bulletin Savvy magazine. So the most googled term in 2011—what is love? What a stupid search enquiry. Can you believe that we’ve turned into such an emotionally retarded [...]
Vacuuming with Vinnie

It’s all in the stars
So you want to know the real reason Demi and Ashton split up? It's nothing to do with spending the night with random women in hotel rooms, or their open marriage, or Demi's threesome tendencies or the weird way they put their life on display on [...]
Give us a kiss
This is from my weekly Gen X Girl column that appears in the Townsville Bulletin's Savvy magazine. Like a pre-teen girl to Justin Bieber, so is Julia Gillard to Barack Obama. That’s the only comparison I can make after last week’s [...]
Words that say you’re a generation apart
I accept no kudos for this post. I've lifted this from Robert Rosenthal's Huffington Post column. Sorry. But it made me laugh. To my father, Spam was canned ham. To my daughter, it's naughty, annoying email. Here are 21 more expressions which [...]
I’d rather have Facebook than cash
Oh those Gen Y kiddies. They're a funny lot. They'd rather be connected than cashed up. Well that's what a study from the US says anyway. CBS reports on a Cisco conducted survey on 400 students and 1,4000 young professionals aged 21-29 in 14 [...]
