So, it's THAT time of the year agian. Here goes.

I, Nossie, hereby resolve to:

1. Loose 10 Kg’s.
2. Actually EXCERSIZE at the gym at lease 3X per week for at least an hour and not just rush in, swipe my card and rush out again.
3. Cook healthy meals for my family 7 days a week.
4. Not leave all of Sundays dishes in the sink for the maid to wash on Monday morning.

That day he turned away
that boy of innocent blue eyes
a man returns, tall and strong.
Little boy voice
baby soft chin
Just yesterday
today -
where has my baby gone?

*please excuse me - I'm heading for a serious case of empty-nest syndrome*

Now tell me, does this sound fair? Two young men, both born and raised in RSA, having gone to the same school, grown up in the same country, speaking the same language, the only difference is that one of them has an EU passport - the other being denied a work visa in Switzerland while the one with the EU passport can just waltz in and do and go where he pleases??

This quest of mine has taken many hours, plenty of blood, sweat and tears, so to speak, to get to where I am now. With the help of various family members, I have unearthed some shocking facts.

Can you tell me why, when I click on a particular blog, a certain blogger is on-line but when I click on "home" or a different post, someone else is on-line or nobody at all? What gives?

This year’s Motorcycle Toy Run will take place on Sunday 30th November 2008 and promises to be the largest in our 26 year history. With 4 start points around Gauteng and finishing at our new end venue Expo Centre, Nasrec, it promises to be a great day for bikers and non-bikers alike. Full information can be found at www.toyrun.org.za

While settling into my bed with a book, last night, I heard an almighty ruckus going on next door. These neighbours are usually very quite, except for there little shit of a son who lets of crackers when his parents are at work. I turn the radio up louder so as to drown out the screaming and shouting but after a while, things seemed to turn uglier, still.

May I ask what is the difference between the new "Image gallery" and the "Photography" section?

Here's one for all you literary giants out there. This "word" is used by DD all the time. I thought it was jsut something she and her buddies made up during a prolonged drinking session. Apparently not. Look here.
The Queen's English has gone to Hell in a handbasket.

23 "guests" on-line???? Show yourselves!!...now, 40 and counting....

I have been a regitered voter since the age of 18. I have only voted once. 1994. The year Madiba became our first democratic President. The year my dad died, aged 62. I find myself asking, "Why should I vote now?" I know we're not voting this year..2008. The year my K leaves school. Exactly 60 years my dad finished his schooling at the same school. My K is spreading his wings.

I remember asking about this new "user list" a while ago and was told, in no uncertain terms, that no, it was not possible because the list was too long...so you see now, it can be done. Well done!

Why did you take away the "home" button? How are we supposed to get back to the "home" page without a "home" button? Is it just me or is there some other hi-tech/geeky/clever way I should be doing that now...Pffffffffffft.
