    Have taken out cover earlier this year for a cruise out of Singapore next January. The company is MyCover and they are affiliated with one of the mega insurance companies (can't remember which one offhand). For a reasonable premium increase they are covering an auto-immune disease which, if it...

We...

    Singapore and tailors

    Thank you everyone thus far for your input. Due to timing, it is either Singapore or nowhere. A single overnight in/near Bangkok rules out that option.

    Marriage Equality

    i find it encouraging that the PM has such strong belief on this topic that he does not allow the closeness of his sister and her lifestyle to sway him. It must be very important for him to stand steadfast.

    Marriage Equality

    My ideal would be to maintain the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. Marriage has historically and traditionally for eons been between a man and a woman. To call a same- sex relationship marriage is to redefine completely what has existed for centuries, and to overturn...

    Taking kids out of school for OS holidays

    It is certainly understandable that many schools are resistant to students being absent, particularly for multiple weeks. With data being so important to schools and regional offices of the schools, having absent or poorly performing students in assessment tasks is a major negative in the...
