Elly McDonald | Writer - My professional writing career started at age 17, when Chris Forsyth, then editor of Nation Review (an Australian independent weekly newspaper), commissioned me to write film reviews. At age 18 I began my career as a rock music journalist, writing regularly for mainstream publications such as The Australian newspaper and for specialist music publications such…

  • https://ellymcdonaldwriter.com/journalism-testimonials/ Journalism testimonials | Elly McDonald - I met Elly in 1979, in my capacity as founding editor of the rock magazine RAM. Of the many writers who appeared in the magazine during my seven years as editor, I regard Elly as amongst the most outstanding. Her writing was always perceptive, it embodied the attitude that music could be more than satisfactory…

You might think I’ve posted weekly, or four times a month. In truth, I binge blog. I ignored good advice to keep my blog posts brief, visual, funny, gossip-filled and fortnightly. But I do feel my…

Freedom for Britain!” Jo Cox was a champion for Yorkshire. She also championed, across her career, children’s health and safety, worldwide, and multicultural…

And not being able to speak. | Elly McDonald - When I left London and came back to Australia I promised myself I’d return for a visit within 18 months. I needed to make myself this promise, or I wouldn’t have been able to leave the places, and the people, I loved. At almost precisely the 18-month mark, I booked a return Melbourne/London/Melbourne plane ticket…

Just as not even my brother-in-law is keen to watch McDonald family amateur theatrics, few can…

  • beth - Good book

    Informative about DHEA. I learned a few things that I didn't know before. If you are interested in learning, it is a good read.

  • Kelli Miguez - simply amazing!

    I have super thick hair that is kind of wavy and frizzy. My hair also gets oily very quickly. I have been searching my whole life for a shampoo/conditioner that would help manage the frizziness without making my hair oily and greasy. Seriously, my whole life! And this is the first shampoo/conditioner that gives me the exact results I've always wished and hoped for! My hair feels soft and silky after using it. No frizziness, and even the thickness is more manageable. It also doesn't make my hair oily.

  • jodi0504 - Good stuff - helped with rash

    My son went to college and broke out with a couple pretty nasty rashes. One we believe was caused by Tide Pods, but not sure if something else was causing his skin's protection to break down. He went to a dermatologist over break, and was told not to use scented body washes, and was recommended this product. Love it. It is gentle, and does the job. He'll just have to save the Axe and Old Spice for sprays on his clothes, not put the scent directly on his skin.

    I order this item for a gift, had to return it because when I received it, the box read differently for what I order, even though the invoice

  • eaglesnester9er - so easy to install

    go to You tube and follow the instructional video....so easy to do! Dont bother to read the instruction paper they provide in the box because it is only pictures....so confusing and whoever put that thing together probably is unemployed today. Makes my Unlimited Sport model look like the Oscar Mike, Safari or Rubicon which have this standard. Had it installed within half hour....adds style to fuel cap by adding the door....also protects from mud, sand and snow from collecting inside....must have!

  • Derek Tombrello - Drill 3/16" Pilot Hole, Not 7/32" - Otherwise Easy to Install and STRONG!

    I used to install TVs for people professionally, so I have used many different mounting systems. I was looking for something cheap, but reliable to hang a 50" LG 50LA6200 LCD TV. I looked at a lot of options both on Amazon as well as elsewhere before settling in this one. I am happy that I did!
