So well written. It nearly brought me to tears.

I went through this with my Mother in Law who passed away from dementia when she was 75. In the end she was in a  vegetative state but she'd suffered for so long.
It doesn't just affect your memory, I didn't realise how dementure could affect people's speech. She couldn't communicate for the last year of her life. Such a cruel disease.

Have been perimenopausal for years. Turning 51 in a few days and in the last 6 months or so have put on weight for no reason. Exercising more, trying to eat less junk, walk for hours every week. So frustrating and disheartening when you make and effort and are just not seeing any positive results with my weight.

Wouldn't mind seeing it but 3 hours is a bit too long for a movie.

Is the person who gave him the gun being charged also?

We weren't meant to wear make up in high school when I was there in the 80's but our standard uniform was a white polo shirt and a (very short) red netball skirt.

I'd never wear anything that short nowadays!

Interesting article, I'm glad she's finally been able to embrace her true self after so many years. Her natural curly hair is gorgeous.

The scalp product and lip treatment look good. Would try either of these.

Some helpful tips and advice. I usually always wear my hair down but wore it up for my wedding day. Didn't want my hair to look like it did every other day for my wedding. Could see more of my dress with my hair up as well.

Travelled to Fitzroy Crossing nearly 24 years ago.

Heartbreaking to see the destruction to homes and the affect the flooding has on the animals in the area.

I'm an only child and growing up I had a friend who was also an only child.

When she was 21 her parents told her that her father had been married previously and had 5 children from that marriage. She went from being an only child to having 5 half brothers and sisters. I know she met some of them but not sure if she kept in touch with them.
I couldn't believe it when she told me and when I told my parents they said they had known for about 14 years. I don't really think it was fair her parents told her when she was 21 when my parents knew  for all thos years that she had half siblings.

Have been perimenopausal for several years, turn 51 later this month.

Never used to know perimenopause was a thing until I was talking to my gp about menopause.

Love Adore Beauty, super quick delivery ( love the Tim Tam too) and great product range. I write reviews on their site to earn credits and receive further discounts and they often have promo codes for further discounts as well.

I've travelled to every continent and over 90 countries with my then boyfriend now husband over 25 years. Despite this I don't think I'd like to travel alone but have plenty of friends who do.

I was born 7 weeks perm nearly 51 years ago and weighted 2lb 11oz.

Mum suffered an embryonic embolism which are usually fatal and had to have an emergency c section. She was placed in a coma and the doctors had told Dad that she probably wouldn't survive. Thank god she did. I was in hospital in a humidicrib for about 2 months before I could come home. Such a stressful time for my parents, especially my Dad as Mum had been so ill.  Thankfully medical technology has come a long way since then.

Yep definately agree with Lion, have seen it several times and always cry at the end when you see the original footage. Movies don't usually make me cry but this one does.

Amazing photos. I can't imagine living somewhere where it gets that cold.

Heartbreaking story. Puts things into perspective when you read something like this.

Makes you realise what's really important in life. Hope she gets to spend as much precious time as she can with her family, friends and beautiful daughter.

I've never had children. I knew my husband didn't want them when we got together and  I never knew if I wanted them or not. People always used to ask me when I was younger when I was having kids. People shouldn't just assume you're going to have children. The decision to have children or not should be yours and you shouldn't be judged if you choose not to have them.

Turning 51 this month. I don't define myself by age. People tell me I look younger than 50 and I try to look after myself. Those over 50 lifestyle resorts on tv really annoy me. You're not old because you're over 50. Over 80 to me is old.

One of my favourite Christmas movies which is 20 years old this year. I lost count of the number of times I watched it last Christmas. My husband kept saying "are you watching that movie AGAIN.." whenever I watched it.
