A lot of people have pretty lax standard when it comes to maintaining dental hygiene and don't brush or floss enough, so it could be that? Or genetics?

This is what my mum was like when I was a kid. Sweets bad, real food good. Obviously she did something right as I'm a 29 year old without a single filling (and I grew up in a town that didn't have fluoride in the water).

You can’t even buy Fosters in Australia. I don't even know what it tastes like!

The “hardest choice of all” line is such a crock. It would have been a harder choice for me to decide to have a baby at that point in my life than it was to spend a few hours in a clinic, get put to sleep and wake up a few minutes later not pregnant. The hardest choice of all thing also makes me think of Clementine…

This isn’t mine, but screw it, we all love a knuckle duster! I used to work for an opera company and we had an incredible yet eccentric composer. He was world famous and had admirers all over, particularly incredibly rich old ladies. This ruby, which is 35ct, was once owned by the Romanovs and is worth over $400k…

I’ve never called any of my aunts and uncles “aunty/uncle name”, just name. If I have to talk about them to people who don’t know them/where they belong I say “my mum’s/dad’s brother/sister”. I’ve also always called adults by their first names. When my bf met my mum and called her “Mrs. Last name” she said “no dear,…

Me too. It’s not a sad story though, really! My grandma had a wonderful life with so much love and happiness. She was nearly 89 years old when she died and we know that she and my grandad, who were married for 66 years, are together again spending their days fishing. It was a relief when she passed as she was in so…

My parents lab, Shelby, knew my grandma was dying before grandma told us (we knew she was sick and old, but she’d kept her brain cancer secret from everyone). When grandma was staying with them, the usually bouncy lab wouldn’t leave her side and was incredibly calm and gentle around her. When grandma went into…

I read about this the other day (I’m from Brisbane) and wonder if this is the same Uber driver who injured one of my friends... She was getting into the car and still had one foot on the ground outside and the driver drove off, pulling her hips out of alignment. Uber are being incredibly dismissive of her and she's up…

I wouldn’t do it to just casually carry around, but if I’m going to a party, I’ll decant the spirit that I plan to drink into a water bottle so I’m not having to take a full size glass bottle with me. This guy however sounds like he was just using it to drink and was pissed that the baby got the buzz he wanted.

That sounds revolting. It sounds like a (terrible) dessert rather than a salad.

She's only a few days older than me and she looks at least a decade older than me. Don't do drugs, kids!

She’s from a town full of hippies called Rainbow. It has the highest anti vax rate in Australia too. Amethyst is pretty ordinary there!

Just like Shrek the sheep! 27kg of wool!

I went to a catholic school (not in America though, in Australia) and our sex ed included how to use condoms, contraception and lots of disturbing pictures of STIs.

There is definitely such thing as a MOHzilla... I was a bridesmaid in a wedding with one. She decided, a week before the wedding, to change the shoes we'd all be wearing. Our dresses had been hemmed to accommodate wearing flat sandals so obviously with heels it was going to look ridiculous. She told me the store to go…

Since when? I'm Australian and have been a waffle connoisseur since forever.

This ant my story BUT! My friend was in Myanmar on a train. She’d been super careful with her food all trip and avoided all of the inevitable diarrhea that comes from having a developed world tummy in a developing country, until she met a lovely lady on the overnight train. This lady had a jar of spicy chicken with…

In Australia a few years ago, a piece of vermin named Adrian Bayley raped and murdered a woman named Jill Meagher as she walked home from after work drinks. She worked for our national broadcaster so it got a lot of media attention straight off the bat. After they got him for that, his past history of all of the sex…

I didn't buy it because one and two cent coins were withdrawn from circulation in Australia in 1992, but then I realised she's the same age as me so would have been six then, so it might be possible...
