(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you
like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep
the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

(2) No person really decides before they grow up whom they're going to
marry.
God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're
stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
-- Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get
married.
-- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at
the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know
each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually
gets
them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the
newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess
with
that.
- - Curt, age 7

(3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should
marry
them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1 ) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm
never
going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
-- Theodore, age 8

(2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need
someone
to clean up after them.

Recently Tiger Woods was asked who his number 1 Sportsman in the World is read more here

and on the same theme a certain other driver has name Michael Schumacher as unsporting.

read more here!

Alonso does try and dig himself out of a hole by saying that Michael is a good driver, but unfortunatly the damage has been done. When Alonso has broken all the records that Michael has won more than 7 championships then perhaps he has the right to say those things.

Now who do we believe someone is has an a huge amount of success in his field! Someone who has won numerous championships or someone who just happened to be in the right car at the right time. The answer will only be apparent unfortunatly, next year when Alonso is sitting in a
unreliable Mclaren.

Hierdie opstel het in die koerant Beeld verskyn.
Geniet dit!

Deur Stephan Joubert
My vriend Pine, oftewel Salmon Pienaar, soos wat sy geboortesertifikaat
sê, het vroeër vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag gevlieg. Vandag vlieg hy
as private vlieënier die hele Afrika vol. Sy grootste 'vliegtuigstorie'
is wanneer hy vertel hoe sy lewe se koördinate dramaties verander het
toe hy die Man van Nasaret trompop raakgeloop het. Almal wat die ou
Pine geken het, was oorbluf oor Pine wie se lewe nie meer ontsier is
deur daardie dinge wat 'tawwe manne' gewoonlik doen om hul manlikheid te bewys nie.

Maar 'n mens bly ook maar net mens. Hier en daar steek dinge vas wat
moeilik uit jou sisteem padgee. Daarom dat Pine so geskok was toe hy op
'n dag bewus raak van 'n innerlike oortuiging dat hy sy huiswerker,
Maria Matseke, se voete moet was. Hy, 'n eks-lugmagvlieënier, wat voete
was?! Dit het nie te lekker afgegaan nie. Maar vir iemand wat so
radikaal tot geloof gekom het, en wat nie met die gewig van
godsdienstige vroomheid opgesaal sit nie, is só 'n oortuiging nie
grappies nie. Nogtans was dit nie 'n maklike ding om te doen nie. Jy
moet immers op jou knieë voor iemand staan as jy voete was. Pine het
weke lank oor hierdie voetwassery-ding getob.

Tot op 'n dag dat hy dit nie langer kon uithou nie. Hy het vir Maria nader geroep en vir haar gesê om haar skoene uit te trek. Terwyl dié waardige dame, wat al jare ank by Pine werk, hom groot-oog aangekyk het, het hy haar voete onbeholpe gewas. Hy, 'n man onder die manne, op sy knieë voor sy huiswerker met 'n skotteltjie water het skielik hardop uitgebasuin waarvoor Jesus staan. Toe volg die eintlike skok 'n paar dae later.

Maria het kom sê: 'Meneer Pine, jy moet asseblief Sondag in Mamelodi kom
voete was!' 'Hoekom?? het Pine gesê. 'Ek werk al jare lank vir jou, maar
jy het nooit agtergekom van die artritis wat maak dat ek moeilik oor die
weg kom nie.'Nou die dag, toe jy my voete gewas het, sou my laaste
werkdag by jou gewees het. Ek wou bedank want ek kan nie meer die pyn
uitstaan nie.Maar toe was jy my voete. Kyk, ek kan weer loop. 'Die pyn
is weg. Die Here het my aangeraak. Die mense by my kerk in Mamelodi het
hiervan gehoor. Hulle wag vir jou!' Egte Goeie Nuus het daardie dag
gewen. Pine se buite-die-boksgehoorsaamheid was al wat nodig was om sy
lewe in sesde rat te plaas.

Terloops, jy moet hierdie ou grote deesdae hoor. My vlieg- vriend loop
deesdae saam met Jesus op water rond! En ek leer by hom. Want dis dáár
waar ek ook die graagste wil wees. Miskien het ek self te gewoond geraak
aan heilige dinge. Ek is al só ge-kerk, be-preek, op-gepreek, ingelig,
geleer, of self aan die leer dat min dinge aan die geestelike front my
nog soos 'n klein kindjie verras. Eintlik het ek my geloof lankal in 'n
veilige boksie verpak met etikette aan alles en almal daarbinne én
daarbuite. Ek is vas oortuig van wat reg en verkeerd is, en saam met
ander sing ek Sondae half valerig oor Jesus wat die Bron van my vreugde
is. Dalk het ek ook tussendeur Christenskap in 'n stel dooie reëls
vervorm, in plaas van 'n lewende verhouding met Jesus. Ja, ek veg vir
die waarheid en staan dapper op vir my beginsels, maar verander dit
mense se lewe ooit op die regte manier? Daarom dat ek skielik so
doodmoeg is vir dié geblikte, kort-raklewegodsdiens waarvan die
vervaldatum lankal verstryk het. Met dié dat ek vandag amptelik bedank
by die kerklike klub van veilige heiliges waarvan ek die erevoorsitter
is! Ek wil Jesus weer op verrassende maniere ontdek, soos wat Hy vir
Maria en Pine verras het deur hulle in 'n lewende seen vir mekaar en
ander te verander. Terwyl ons kerklik dink, praat en dreig oor hoe ons
nog eendag die wêreld gaan verander, gebruik Jesus intussen doodgewone
mense onder ons neuse om 'n paar sentimeter op 'n slag splinternuut te
maak. Salmon Pienaar van Pretoria-Oos en Maria Matseke van Mamelodi het
Jesus se vlag stil-stewig geplant deur mekaar te dien. Dit het die
hemele geskud. Dink net wat sal gebeur as ons almal die kerklike
servette van ons nekke afhaal en ons dit 'n slag oor ons arms gooi om
self ook bediendes van Jesus te word!

:music: :jive: A Happy Birthday to both of you! :jive: :music:

Have a wonderful day..... and a great year!

Had my first ever ISO 9001:2000 on Monday and for the first time the company had no non-confomances . Guess my threats of whips and 10 lashes to the staff worked then.

Am sitting on :cloud9: and can do no wrong at the moment.

Now about that pay rise.............................

It has really been a while since I last posted... life has become a little hectic of late!

We are in the process of moving again.... I have found my dream house... ok let me put it this way.. my dream house for my current budget! :thumbs:

I still have a garage full of stuff I brough over from South Africa. I fear to go near, but soon I won't have a choice. I will be doing the big clean and chuck out, so many charity shops will be VERY happy!

Amongst the stuff in there, I still have a Cadac Skottel Braai and the gas cylinders. Does anybody know where I can get gas for this or should I just visit th nearest rubbish dump? I am sure I recall that the type of patio heater gas they have here doesn't burn hot enough or something to that effect. Also... if I can get gas ...where do I go to fill the bottles??? :dazed:

Hi Guys

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a break-in last night and my laptop .... just my laptop was stolen. Think I disturb the person as I woke up around 3.40am.

Not a nice experience! :bigcry:

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic
name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic
name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is
also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After
careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently
announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin,
Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in
liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage
suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to
literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call
this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of
cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff
drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT
& DO.

Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast
implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means
that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky
boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to
do with them.

This is turning out to be one of those terrible weeks when we all seem to be touched by tragedy in one way or another.

A runner by the name of Emilie Mondor was killed in a car accident on Saturday, to say it was shocking is a mild understatement.

Then to hear of Oe's losses, is tragic to say the least.

Then the sadness of John01's loss

and now this

Lindsay Weight died on Tuesday

On Tuesday night, it was confirmed that RW contributor and former Comrades winner Lindsay Weight had died earlier in the day. She had collapsed while working on her computer at home in Hout Bay.

:rip:

this is just all too much

Good morning, everyone.

I started at Danish School on Monday & it's going to be tough going so I probably won't be able to visit here as often as I'm used to doing. :help:

I hope you all have a great day! :thumbs:
