Rocknrolla....you will be fine. I took chukky up there a few years ago and he survived. Granted the temp was 42 deg at the top of the bat that day. Looking forward to some feedback from you

I'd suggest doing some community work. Sometimes helping those less fortunate gives us an appreciation for what we have an a realistic perspective of our lives. Take stock of everything and refocus on the goals that are really achievable and important. We often are just unhappy because we keep comparing ourselves to others, and the stuff that used to bring us joy like being motivated to ride our bikes early in the morning are now a chore. Finding motivation will come when you find gratitude. Lots of good vibes for your journey.

Exactly. Plus it is a huge responsibility being a pet owner. You cannot leave your poor pups all cold early in the morning with nobody to cuddle with on the couch. That would just be selfish

I find that when I ride and I'm comparing my strava times, counting mileage chasing qom and all that junk I put even more pressure on myself. For a while I have not raced and have not bothered with the structured intervals and all those things. To just get on a bike when and how I want to is wonderful. Humans are competitive things...we always compare ourselves to others and our past efforts.....so I've resisted the urge.....and not even bothered with strava for ages. A time will come when I set a race or event as a goal and I'll up my training then...but for now I'm just enjoying myself. To all the crazy folks freezing their asses off at 6am on a bike...good luck...I'm in bed with a coffee playing clash of clans. I'll ride later when the world defrosts!

And just like that the thread is resurrected! The evanesance song 'bring me back to life' came to mind. Damn.....now it's stuckin my head. Damn you shebeen ????????????

A good friend of mine has them. They are clever,energetic,loving and are very healthy. When the female was still a pup she was bloody naughty

I went to the shop today and saw the most disgusting small pineapples selling for 18.99 each. I guess that's what happens when something is in demand.

Amazing how the right person understands that you need some space to heal. I was scared of putting someone in the hole where husband was instead of letting that space heal first. It would also not have been fair to that other person. So eventhough I also found someone soon I kept him at arms length and let things be casual for a long time. And that is why I also kept my own place. I think he may be the right one because he understands my independence freakoutmeter. Like when I tell him I need to go clean my house but I actually want to just watch crap on my laptop and eat a whole milk tart to myself.

For me it has really taken a while to trust again. I've been so defensive of my independence after being so financially dependent in my marriage. I've feared being vulnerable, thinking I could be taken for granted. All things heal with time and it has been a journey of getting my confidence back. I turned 40 a few days ago and now feel like I've 'come into myself' and ready to really share my life again now that I've got to know who I really am.

Our puffies here in kzn are so dark. This boy was sunning himself in my grow tunnel among my aloe pots. Moved him out and released him a few kay's down the road in the forest. The staff still don't want to go weed there a week later. They call the puffies 'kaiser chiefs'

@swiss...I opened a can of worms.....and then closed it again! Seems you saw a few leak out

My sons snake. He got it a month ago and since then it has grown fast. My boy reckons its better than his sisters hedgehog. The hedgehog nips now and again.. the cornsnake is really placid.

Lots of ideas and opinions here. Personally I do eat meat. I do not wish to enter any debates..just wish to introduce and idea myself and an open minded vegan freind of mine discussed recently. We agreed that life should be considered and it is more 'responsible' to rather choose to eat a large animal like a cow who will feed many people than a smaller animal like a chicken that will feed one family for a day. Less lives lost.

I do the same. Max out everything first before upgrade. During war half our okes dont use their attacks and then we lose by only one star. Peevs me off.

level 10 clan. Im a seven. These dark games were easy. Just raided dark elixer drills and storages =)

Hi there. Anyone playing clash of clans? Im really into it but have one snag. We have a lekker clan but a few folks dont pull their weight when its time for clan games or war. Booted a few slackers out. Anyone looking for a clan?

Not necessarily...you are now in a position to adopt the "take it or leave it " strategy. Eg...do your bathroom the way you like, leave all your bikes in the lounge and indulge yourself in all your hearts desires. The right girl will accept it or just move off. Good long term strategy as you are priming her from the start to manage her expectations.

Dont bother with the bathroom. Whatever you do a new bird is going to want to change it anyway! As long as thr toilet can flush its cool

Me too. Only recently. Out of respect to my ex who is also a hubber I will not discuss those details. All I can say is that it is hard. You find out you are stronger than you think and take it day by day. Like hacc, I have also learnt to do many things like fix all the computer junk my ex used to do. I also have a toolbox, and what I dont know I google. I even learnt how to recharge my car battery with jumper cables after I left the lights on one night.

I fully understand the theology..but your conclusions are based on the bible being true. Ill leave things there to not derail the thread further. Thanks for sharing.
