Shopping for groceries has always been a chore. But now it’s positively painful as the negative effect on my bank balance grows worse every week. Logging on to do my latest online shop, I was shocked to see the ‘generous’ offer made by Coles. Without needing any special code or meeting any absurd terms, I would be awarded a $30 discount. Well, actually, there was one crazy condition … I would need to spend at least $370. Even worse, I’m pretty sure it won’t be a problem to meet that obligation.

It’s not a matter of morality, it’s not a matter of women’s rights, it’s not even a matter of fashion … it’s a matter of life and death. Every inch of skin we expose to the sun is just providing more soil to plant the seeds of skin cancer. And I’m willing to turn the other cheek to prove it.

Three weeks after writing the G-string column that launched a media storm, there is one issue that remains uncovered. The danger of bare bums.

Every inch of skin we expose to the sun is just providing more soil to plant the seeds of skin cancer. And I’m willing to turn the other cheek to prove it. Literally.

It looks like an average ATM. But tucked away at the back of a Gold Coast convenience store, this machine has the words “buy crypto with cash” emblazoned on its body. And it’s just one of a wave of cryptocurrency automatic teller machines flooding Gold Coast suburbs. It might seem like a novelty, or even an ubiquitous way to simply advertise crypto coins, but the man behind the counter at this local shop assured me otherwise. “The crypto ATM? People use it all the time … all the time,” he said.

When I was little, my mother and I spent summers at my uncle’s house in southern New Jersey. Uncle Jim raised chickens, goats, pigs, and horses. Cousins Pat and El were 4 and 5 years older. I worshipped them. The three of us dressed the baby goats and kittens in doll clothes, learned to ride the quarter horses, and stayed clear of the nanny goat and the pig stye.
