I might be a little blind I picked up my first pair of glasses yesterday. I am sure that the urban myth that people with glasses are more intelligent will be true for me. I sat in the optometrist chair and frikkin hell I did not realise how bad my eyes were it was like the fog had been lifted whoohoo.

Join the club!! I'm also blind without my trusty specs. I should (theoretically) wear them all the time, but only do so for reading, watching TV, at the movies, & working on the computer. If I don't, I get terrible eye strain & debilitating headaches. I've had the same pair of frames for about 7 years now. I reckon it's time for an update. What do you think about these??

Well I finally finished Dr No it was actually harder to read that I thought it would be, it was a little boring and predictable, and it is amazing how popular culture has changed over the last 50 years. The writing was racist, sexist and pretty much the thinking was very far removed from what is happening today. The writing is very colonial. I did...

(And I'm not even really a big rugy fan )I read every night have done for most of my life, I just cannot get to sleep without reading something.

I recently started collecting 1st edition, hard-cover Patricia Cornwell novels, & although they're only like a decade or so old, you're right, there's something really awesome about older paper

We are consultant engineers and do the detailed enginerring for paper mills, upgrades to paper and pulp machines, we work for Mondi, Sappi and Nampak but our major client is Mondi.
I don't go out very often, we like planet home. But sometimes the urge happens and it is time to go and eat out, and generally it is super duper we have a few restaurants that know us and create some really innovative vegetarian courses.

"Do I live the life I do because that is what I want, or am I able to live that life because of advantages I was given?"
...Hmmm, that's a tough one to answer, mate. I'm in a similar position in that my folks paid for my tertiary education (even though I flunked out TWICE ) & gave me R30k towards my first car. It's certainly a lot more than someone like my husband got, but also a shitload less than many other people I know got.
Personally, I think it's a parent's responsibility & duty to give their child a fair start in life, & that INCLUDES putting money aside for his/her tertiary education AND a cheap second-hand car if you live in a country like ours that doesn't have a safe & reliable public transport system. What then becomes of those assests (education & wheels) is purely up to the individual.
If I look at my life & what I've achieved thus far, it's pretty much all my own doing. I certainly never enjoyed the luxury of any favours (eg. nepotism) or hand-outs (financial or otherwise). I moved out of home when I was 18 (actually I was kicked out, but that's another story altogether!), & since then I have been completely independent. I had to learn to stand on my own two feet at a relatively young age (most people I know lived with their parents right into their mid-20s), & through that process I learnt the value of money, & just how much hard work it takes to earn an honest living. But I guess now I'm all the better for it, & extremely proud of where I stand today

Well what an awesome weekend, all the South African teams won the rugby, had all my friends come over for a visit, my sister even came over with her new boyfriend. My sister and I have had a strained relationship for a couple of years now and I have not seen her or spoken to her in six months, my sister and Jo-Anne just don't...
