Congratulations on your new home I don't know how things work where you are, but here if you start doing any work on the house before the legal transfer of ownership goes through you may be charged occupational rent by the owners. Transfer can take several months so be careful. Great ideas for decorating! Wish you much happiness in your new home.
Hi Anisitir I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You have every right to grieve in whatever way and for however long you need. Don't ever allow anyone to tell you how you must feel, not only in these circumstances but generally, too. I wish you comfort and support during this time and that life will become kinder and easier to bear as the days go by. You are not alone.
I can only imagine the pain you're going through right now and I do wish things had worked out differently for you. I know it doesn't help, but the pain will eventually go. When my partner of 10 years passed away, I repeated to myself over and over again "This too will pass", and you know what, it did. Hang in there.
Hi Leah Great thanks, and hoping you are too. Silly isn't it, that we can see beauty in others but rarely in ourselves. And you are a very beautiful woman and person, indeed.
Yes, no matter how much I intellectualise and rationalise about the wrongness of the ideals of beauty displayed constantly in the media, I can't help but feel a little inadequate from time to time.
Chocheta, Catfoot: no need for google translate here,either. Gosh I am gifted Enjoy your evenings - storming here again. Darn! I sense an attack of the blues...
Catfoot: I think most do have a sense when something is not quite right, but they don't trust this 'feeling' or 'instinct' and allow logic and reason to take over. I do, too, sometimes when my sense of unease seems irrational..usually to have my initial feelings proven right in the end.
Can't say I blame you, Ekself, it does sound heaps better. If only I could win the lottery I'd join you there. Non, I consider myself a feminist in the true sense of feminism i.e. committed to affording and allowing the space for every individual, man or woman, to attain their full potential. Radical feminism tends to interpret feminism in a more narrow manner.
He was indeed a great man. But Tata Madiba would shake his head in disappointment at the arrogance that some display in commenting on that which they have no true understanding or experience.
Good one Glitch It's close to the truth for me though, having been left to make my own way to the hospital in absolute agony by a partner who insisted on finishing his round of golf before taking me.
Come to Africa! There are so many countries in Africa welcoming skilled workers - exciting to be part of building a new world instead of trying to keep the old one limping along.
Hi Basically it means they think you're great but are over qualified for the particular position. It also means they think you might not be happy with the salary they're offering for that post. If they should say no, give them a call and ask to have your CV kept on file for when they have a position that suits you. I don't think they were blowing you off - I've interviewed many people for positions and generally you make your mind up within the first 5 minutes, so the fact they kept you there for 45 min means they were desperately trying to fit you in somewhere in the company. Tip for next interview: research the company and be ready to ask questions about it. Good luck !
I don't know, Scott, but I can tell you that here in SA, it's extremely difficult for a woman my age to find anyone. SA men generally look for women much younger than them, picture perfect and not intellectually challenging - and there are many young women to fill the position. So, my personal experience is no, it's more difficult for women...but it might be different elsewhere.
Hi Jager If you're not comfortable suggest speaking over skype first - set up a different account that you can delete should the person prove to be a problem. You take your time, trust your instincts and let no one pressurise you into anything. Daar is baie skelms hier en jy moet baie versigtig wees. Moenie joy persoonlike informasie vir hulle gee tot jy weet hulle is eglike mense. Good luck!
RE: paradise??bali?
Hi Scouse Have you thought of the island of Mauritius? I go there almost every year and it is fantastic!
