Pot kettle black.

When I mentioned probate, I was referring to the filing fee. At present in Victoria the fee is $2,471.10 for an estate worth between $1 million and $2 million. $2 million to $3 million it goes to $4,942.10, and $3 million to $5 million it is $7,396.40, and so on to a maximum of $17,297.50 for an estate of $7 million or more. My property is estimated to be worth about $1.2 million according to the Domain Real Estate website, so I have a bit of wiggle room before it goes up. If my $20 million Powerball ticket comes up a winner, I will split it between the three kids who can then cover all the bills and anything I want to buy. As you know, I live with my elder son and daughter. He was just starting primary school grade 1 when we moved here, and my daughter came here in a bassinet 15 months later. She was registered carer for my mother-in-law, and later for my wife, who had a palliative care nurse drop in a couple of times a week. She is now recorded as my carer, although all she has to do is the cooking. No nursing homes so far. The house is split between the three of them in my will.

The only property I have is the house I live in, fully paid off, no mortgage. My car is a 22yo Holden Astra I paid $6,000 18 months ago. I have no super, just enough in the bank to pay my bills and be cremated. When I pay off the $45 outstanding on my credit card next pension day, I will owe nothing. The shares in my name belong to the kids, due to my wife not updating her will. They were left in my name, but she said they were to go to the kids and I will honour that. They decide what happens to the dividends. I've said it before, when I go I want it to be with the very minimum of assets to minimise or eliminate probate.

Angriness takes its toll.

Thank you, Jim Chalmers, for your budget last night. Today CBA shares dropped about $18, which cost the parcel my wife left for the kids a bit over $10,000.

I recently bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy A17 for under $250, on special at Big W. The camera is not exceptional, but sufficient for what I require. Here are a couple of shots I took last night, hand held, under our bedroom light. The second one is the back of a hearing aid battery pack with very small print. $2 coin for size comparison.

America had a treaty with Iran on nuclear weapons, and Trump scrapped it, purely because it was arranged by Barack Obama.

Trump, or at least, the Trump organisation, has pulled the plug on Trump Tower Gold Coast.

Definition of a gentleman - someone who knows how to play the bagpipes -- but doesn't.

I emailed him and got a reply within 15 minutes. He is well, but has had a few system problems logging onto different sites.

I just checked his profile. He last visited in Nov 25, and on AP. in August 25.

I said to her, "Why would you want to go out on a freezing cold night to watch your team get beaten and lose your keys?" She relied, "you go out to the Shed more times than I go out. I'm not going out next weekend." Her teams are playing interstate.

Look at the number of informal votes and other minor parties/independents.
