Hi there, everyone!
September 23, 2009 - 16:17 — nossie
I haven't been around for a while for various reassons but now I need your expert advise. We're having friends over from Switzerland, who have visited us here many times over the past 30 years. They're going to be staying with us but we've done PTA...and let's face it....there's not much going on here! So...my question to all Josie dwellers - what's new and interresting to them to spend some time on in JHB? Their interrests are varied but they've just about seen it all, having travelled extensively.
Any advice?
PS. They'll be here in Jan 2010.

blogstalkers? eeeeeep!
nah. i've only linked to two bloogers, because i enjoy them on a personal level, and i want to open my doors. there are others, i've been sorely tempted to add, because i adore/like them too -but the paths from their spaces lead to my own too easily... so can't do.... sides, many have had my addy, and havent used it, so dont really see the point, you know?
Mine is really only handy for making initial contact with those who've impacted me in some ways, but disappeared from my circle.... moving around a lot, as i did, can do that.
yeah - it has been quite interesting to note how much we all 'outgrow' each other to a degree, but i've also been lucky.
haven't had bling sent my way - my lot know me well!
i guess i could be 'traced' through my new mates - but so what? the new ones dont know where I live! anybody desperate enough to go to those painful measures, only to be blocked... pffft. i doubt very much that i'm that intriguing!
and - still a scotch and water gal... but... i do have a taste for the freaky jesus dude.... and that's not new!
ag. make a cpt trip dexter... i could do with a couple of those scotches in a semi-seedy bar - with hours of rambled emotional shareware and a blow of peanuts.
Morts
stalking's a little strong... for me it was more the fact that people broke in and didn't bother to let me know that there was a huge gap in the old privacy fence. But all that doesn't matter any more.
and that cpt trip WILL happen Morts. I promised you long ago... just need to have a day or so alone down there, which is the main problem. And i'd like to meet diablo too - a man who can make someone like you tame herself must be something special.
i'll buy you KWV 20 y/o and a cigar at sunset. You'll teach me how to see the sublime in the mundane, and i'll show you why denial is a gift from heaven. Then maybe we'll swop some fluids and play scrabble.
bwuahaahaaaha dexter... did ya see it, baby?
the typo
Blow of peanuts
heeeheeehee.
didya see it, huh?
the blow of peanuts
aaaagh *wipes eyes*
heck man... i'm such a nerd, for typos to take me down like this... but that was snortingly funny!
and you wanna share the peepee trough and play SCRABBLE with me *snort*
typos are allowed in scrabble games. new rule.
aah heck. maybe we can find the sublime together- 'cause i seem to have misplaced the vision - or at the very least we could spell it out in the sand.
but D - yeah - odd to see it put so bluntly, re the taming of myself, but that's about right. i've been pacing lately... jy weet? i can smell home on the wind. it will pass, soon enough - usually does, but it sure screws up the perfection of my purty little burbian box-lawn for a while.
'shape shift... nose to the wind
shape shift... feeling I have been
move swift... all senses clean
earth's gift... back to the meaning, back to the meaning...
...of wolf and man'
metallica -
remember?
Morticia
Nice use of lyrics. Tell me you were there when they were in SA.
rapture:morticia
thank you - but unfortunately not.
in fact, credit must go to dex, who originally posted the lyric snippet in a personal context, as a response to a little poetry blurb i posted...
back in the day/long nights....
Morts
yeah i know all about the pacing... but we helped a friend settle into her new place after leaving her husband this weekend, and as i was tuning in her TV, i realised it's so much better in the cage (if the relationship isn't toxic of course).
and ja i remember. love it love it love it.
nope dusty - step 324
on my path to reclusive living ;-)
sticking with the tried and tested, jy weet? no funny little yellow wires in the personal circuitry of strangelings that i may connect incorrectly, and - kaboomkazam! you know?
new poetry only gets the 'read more' click if i'm inhaled by it.
My gosh, not much going on

Ummmm...how shall I put this....your idea of entertainment does not exactly interest me...anymore!!
Oh well, you know what they
Oh well, you know what they say....There's no party like granma's tea party.
*ducks*
Ash
I MAY (numerically speaking) be a little older than yourself but i am NOT a granny!
hey mort..
see Ash (or his buddy) has got one of those thingies on his chin like diablo's?
yes indeedy - i see so
almost missed that - i've become such a bluidy blogsnob, that half of what happens here or elsewhere passes me by!
no silver thingaling but...
diablo wins. yum.
Yup
diablo's silver jobbie is cool.
And I have to confess that I still read everything here. Even poetry that I have no idea about.
Errrrm, Ash...
meet nossie, Nossie, meet Ash. Ash, meet nossie's kids. You've probably partied with them at Full Moon Alternative Lounge, Aandklas
and Zeplins.
Just saying.
Muffin.
Probably. In fact I think I recognise one of them!!!...Busted.
Can she make fudge? I'm dying
Can she make fudge? I'm dying for a stukkie fudge like Craig's mom used to make!
Ash
I only cook when i HAVE to...fudge is BAKING..which I don't do. Pffffffft.
tannie mort maak wys... fudge
is not baking!
mix, boil, stir, remove, add, stir - pour - and voila!
micro version even simpler to process!
and - it's worth it.
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.”
Cooking is like making love, you do it well, or you do not do it at all”
harriet can horne
You forgot the last step, Mortilicia -
The fudge then needs to be packed.
as they say in the classics.

I suppose you have your reasons for hiding behind anonymity. I’m all for anonymity when it protects free speech, but not as a shield for abuse. Thank fuck for social networking sites like Facebook where there is no room for faceless, nondescript cowards like you.
Poes.
listen, son.
get confused much? Butt into conversations that have nothing to do with you often?
it's the facebooking, you know. Makes you stupid. Now go write on somebody's fun wall or go tag a picture or just be generally emo. Sheesh.
oh dexter -
you're such a boy *sigh* (love you regardless, but still....)
i just love the way i quoted a VAN as a CAN... time for another cuppa i reckon.
haha yeah morty.
i guess the question is - can she horn well ?
dex:morti
*ahem* - not sure about that, possum....
but - here's something to make you snort/splatter/faint/gag...
i've done the FB thing. njannies.
A good pal phoned me the next day to enquire about the nature of the calamity that had surely befallen me.... the traumatic 'thing' that made me play the facebook game.
*sigh* it's those bluidy romans... no beating them - i've been searching for some old friends on every available site, with no success... for yonks.
then - i give in to sin (thanks D. Mode) - and there they are, bless 'em... all gathered together under one afdak....
and i'm truly stoked that i've found them... they're special people.
naturally, I'll tear the first one to send me a glittery thing, into warm gibbets of morti-meat.... but i doubt it's going to happen - only a small handful of lovely folk on my maaitjies muur, and a non public profile. lawdy, there are some mighty zealous 'friendly' folks out there...i've had requests from people i dont/wont know... and felt like a bit of a cow for clicking the ignore option.
so ja - it's under control... but i must admit to having a sense of letting my side down. (and still shuddering ocassionally)
still conscious? touch of sal volatile required yet? aiyee... the things i do.
oh hell morts -
you're further gone than i thought!
next thing you're gonna say you've switched to Brutal Fruit and Nickelback... shudder.
Ag, i was on there too for a while. But the glittery shit and quizzes and invites got to me. And i also realised that there's a reason why you lose contact with people.... also there's the bloggers who tracked me down.
anyway - glad 'm rid of it.
Hello?
Hello Hello Hello ....
Craig?
Who the hell is Craig?
Too much beer on Braaiday for you?
Word. What a delightful bunch
Word. What a delightful bunch of people. \m/ \m/
Hey nossie
I dreamed about this last night. I must be coming down with something.
I think most of the bloggers here now are Capetonians, so maybe Facebook is a better place to find the Vaalies.
Just saying.
Muf
Mmmmm....interesting. Wonder what the rest of the "vaalies" are doing...working, perhaps? *runs for cover*
