  1. My laaitie has a chronic condition and need to take medicine that increases his appetite and he is hungry the WHOLE time... don't parent shame when you do not have all the information.
  2. Butch was VERY good, but better than Honibal? I'm a fan of both.
  3. Court date set for 27 Feb. Then, k*k en betaal, adapt to the new life (my shrink says this will take some time) and this ordeal is over. Amper klaar...
  4. Happy birthday Gemmer! Some good news from my side: Settlement agreement signed yesterday by soon-to-be ex. Now its is just waiting for the process to play out (summons, family advocate sign-off on family plan, court, pay the pound of flesh closest to the heart) and this sad chapter should end at the end of Feb. Honestly, this is a bittersweet place, similar to the contrast of drinking double shot Americano without sugar or milk, while eating Snob's Coffee's (very sweet) cheese cake.

  6. in 2017 I took a flight from that airport. And the Reich was striking as well. It was a mess
  7. I have friends who toured France for 3 weeks with loaded bikes and their twins using FEVA seats. I still use mine with my 5yo on excursions that will be too difficult for her on her own bike (e.g. Coetzenburg XC track to visit the horses at Maties equestrian).
  8. I spotted the leopard, but need a bit of help to find the cheetah Was a bit slow, again
  9. I'm busy smoking a lamb rib with citrus wood chips, cinnamon and rosemary. Hoping for the best...
  10. I demoed a spaz stumpjumper with dpx2. The shock was amazing. No experience on the rockshox
  11. Mine is turning out to be messy. She has unreasonable financial expectations and mediation failed. Lawyers are involved and she doesn't understand that their costs are not paid by me, but effectively comes out of her own pocket well for the accrual just get smaller and smaller with each letter and consultation. At least we don't fight about the kids. Gemmer, you're right:it is truly exhausting and demoralising.

    RIFLE

    my first big game kill was with a .22: bosvark at 90m+, oop visier, one shot. D.E.D. dead. The morning before my 15th birthday.
  13. +1
  14. Thanks Hairy, needed that this morning!
  15. kinda looks like my hometown ng dominee's daughter #pastoriekinners
  16. you are correct according to my recollection of domicile from 1995 family law. We had 1 lecture on a complex issue where there is probably some international law involved. I'd rather ask a specialist...
  17. Guessing it starts with G? Nice!
  18. Until a 5 year old you know and love is diagnosed with gender dysphoria and you have to support his/her parents through potential heartbreaking decisions... and it hits close to home. Educate yourself before commenting on something that is really be heartbreaking for those involved. But to keep the fred on track: Listen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amgVvKQ40AY
  19. Gender dysphoria is real and the choices parents face in these situations are many times heartbreaking. From sex changes at very young ages to hormone suppressive treatment before puberty. And the alternative is your child's mental health (depression and suicide are real risks). These parents are faced with being damned if you do, damned if you don't. Walk a step or two in their shoes and give empathy. Every parent wants the best possible lives for their kids. But let's keep this fred awesome.
  20. newest safety tech: the top toptube keeps your nuts from cracking on the bottom toptube...
  21. ag no man, off topic. This belongs on the Braai fred!
  22. My strategy: think long-term and roll with the punches, even if it means taking a few (personal) jabs on the chin. However, set boundries and build that wall. (i am NOT a Drumpth supporter). My kids first.
  23. Unfortunately, the Ruskies didn't spend money on niceties on these. You should see the original "strap"... The strap you spy is from www.cheapestnatostraps.com https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/nato-regimental/products/nato-regimental-strap-light-blue-black-and-orange-20-mm
  24. The USSR navy diver my boet gave me for my 40th birthday. The thing is HUUUUGE:
