RE: True love ...

So true what you said. To kill it is the end of it....even a scarred tree is better than a dead one.

RE: Brilliant Design

it was good ideas at the time... I think.

RE: Slow Internet....

It comes and goes but very frustrating.

RE: Chimera...

I eat animals so why would I care about having their organs inside me if that helps me to have a longer or more productive life?

RE: 2020 curbing wastage.

That's strange....it was one horse town, eastern cape as far as I remember. This is a bit scary as someone tampered with my profile info. I did not notice it.

RE: Colditz

Not a place I would like to call home. Looks like a perfect place to use for that series.

RE: The ANTI Blog

I skip political, religious and blogs with too many words I need a dictionary for. English is my second language so my vocabulary is a bit limited.

RE: 2020 curbing wastage.

Just thought you found the solution to our running out of milk too often problem. Then I realized the one eating rice crispies is the one who uses cremora in his tea. Seems like I'm the one who is going to end up with rice crispies floating in my coffee.

RE: Hoarding Questions

I'm a hoarder as I have a lot of maybe useless stuff. Have to say maybe useless as I could give someone 30 1kg magarine tubs and another one 20 mayonnaise bottles when they needed it. Keep mostly everything that looks remotely usefull as out here in the sticks you never know. At least it can still fit into a fairly small store room so I need not climb over stuff in search of the stove or toilet.

RE: Da Vinci code mystery takes new twist

I enjoyed this blog tremendously. Hearing your voices....well it made me see some of you in a different light. My device is too old to handle that kind of technology but I have a promise of getting something a bit more advanced in a month or so.

RE: small entrepreneur being challenged now

Small entrepreneurs are also struggling in my country but for different reasons than new tax laws. Unemployment is at a record high and the middle class are getting poorer. They use to cater for the middle and lower income groups who are more and more struggling to survive. So unless you sell something people must have you get less business.

Have seen this year over the Christmas season that I sold mainly biscuits and sweets. Very few of my more expensive stuff sold. My sales were more or less the same as last year but there is a lot less profit on edible stuff....so I made less money in the end.

RE: The Night Sky

That is why I don't mind living where I do. The billion stars and quietness at night is worth giving up on the comforts of city life.

RE: Gone but not forgotten

Don't blame her. I come here about once a month to see if anything has changed for the better. So far picking my nose is still more exciting than the trash the Americans dump on here. They are going to kill the blogs as the few of you who are left can't keep it alive.

RE: Reparations, of many sorts...

Mic...yes I completely forgot about the Hottentots. You are absolutely correct...it is them who should get the money.

RE: Reparations, of many sorts...

I'm also still waiting for the Queen to pay me for the family farm they burned down and my family members who died in the concentration camps during the Boer war. Not that I'll be able to use the money as I owe too many blacks who were wronged during apartheid.

RE: Rain, what's it all about?

How I wish we can have some water falling from the sky. I don't know why nature is so unorganized. A good soaking once a week will keep all the plants, animals and even most people happy. Don't know why it is so difficult to manage that.

RE: Getty Fire

Hope the get it out in time. Wild fires are something we fear most up here on the mountain.

RE: Wonderful Feeling

What a wonderful experience it must have been. It so seldom happens that the whole family can be together. So glad it worked out so well for you.

RE: Flash Fiction

See now I could have written my story about the insect going down in a flash on your blog. The flash was there but it is not fiction.

RE: You don't know me, don't judge me

Jac...we can't understand people but we can accept them. I had to learn that as I'm living in a village that for some reason attracts strange people. Judging is not the problem....it is throwing people in the rubbish bin after judging them.

RE: You don't know me, don't judge me

The trick is to judge people but still love them despite your opinion about them. It's part of our survival instinct to judge so we do it even if we try not to.

RE: Oversensitivity

What you did to Wilba is a part of you that I don't like at all. You do it often so suspect you are unaware of what you are doing. Figure it out, become aware of it and stop doing that then you will have a few less enemies.

RE: Insanity

Have to correct you....people are not send to asylems anymore.....they end up in remote villages in rural areas. No one knows how they got here but every now and again another one drifts in.

RE: What would it take for you to fall in love again?

I'll fall in love at the blink of an eye if I am lucky enough to meet an authentic man. It's the expectations, alrerior motives and emotional manipulation that most of us fear more than loneliness....so we stay single.

RE: Becoming a wolf

We don't have wolves here so anyone changing into a wolve won't go unnoticed. Was a full moon just after the cows destroyed my whole garden and ate all my broccoli and cauliflower...so...suspect there would have been a couple of dead cows if I could change into a wolf.

RE: You're Fighting for your life and neighbors are simply watching and listening...

That's terrible...living so close to people and even knowing them by name and they hide while you are in danger. What has the world come to.

RE: Where does luck come from...?

It doesn't come from somewhere....it just constantly hangs around waiting to jump on you....especially the bad luck. Good luck is a bit shy so you must kind of make the first move to bring it to you....like it least buy a lottery ticket if you want to win the lottery.

RE: Aren’t They Cute?

Please remove the African part as you are not allowed to mention primates and Africans within one story. The EFF are watching.

RE: Sulking Lovers

It is not very pleasant to live with a sulker....especially if it happens too often. It has a purpose as it can prevent an unnecessary fight but to sulk every time you get angry about something is not very productive. I never sulk without telling first why I am upset and warning the one who caused it to leave me alone untill I feel better.

RE: Human Extinction By 2030 -

Thank heavens...only 11 more years to go.
