Happy birthday LadyCrimson!

 

Need to go to bed early today, got an appointment with my doctor in 8 hours, just got home from work. >-< Forced overtime sure bit me in the ass this time.

know your parasites: the bourgeoisie.

 

My condolences comrade

[Blarghagh]

Late happy birthday LC, and good luck at the doctor Azdeus.

 

Exhausted from insomnia again. Guess I'll be a zombie.

[Raithe]

Happy belated birthday LC.

I have sacrificed my beard to the gods of writing so that I may gain their favor on this NaNoWriMo. Blessed be their quills.

But what if you lose your powers ala Samson?

I'm moving to a small apartment, so I went to IKEA and bought some stuff that need to be replaced. Stayed there for 5 hours. Lots of small stuff was bought.

Make sure to allot another 5 hours to assemble the stuff you bought. 

[ShadySands]

I can't go to IKEA without gorging myself on the meatballs. It's not a good look.

I'll absolutely make sure not to read the instruction manuals.

I did have meatballs. I couldn't have it any other way.

One thing though. What's wrong with regular screws. It's not like you are going to disassemble cheap plywood furniture 10 times.

The thing with regular screws is that mine are loose.

So, the 3.5-year-old hadn't really had serious candy in any quantity prior to this past week.  He'd get a lollipop at the barbershop, and sometimes a bite of the fancier chocolate stuff that mom likes to keep in the house, but not any chocolate-based mass-market candy bars of the kind that folks often hand out to trick-or-treaters. 

 

Anyhow, I've always heard people allude to the effect that high quantities of sugar have on little kids, but I hadn't truly seen it until the past couple days.  I was amazed at just how quickly he went from eating 3/4ths of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup to (uncharacteristically) sprinting from his room to the kitchen and back while yelling about how fast his racecar was.

Guys take a look at this property and tell me if you would buy it as a family investment option, all 5 of my siblings have to agree 

 

Anyway take a look at the sliding photos and see if  it looks worthwhile....Im unsure as it looks a little desolate    

[Gfted1]

Hmm, I dont see any moat to keep out the lions.

 

Very nice! I wonder how many years a "thatched" roof lasts?

 

EDIT: Wait, 7.5M rand = $536,247.37 for an 861.11 square foot house! Holy moly, SA is like NY! The pricing must be based on the farm land?

You laugh but there are always some kind of wild animal near this type of remote house but not lions 

 

Thatch is common in SA, its durable and keeps out the elements  ...it lasts about 15-20 years as its treated by a tar  of sorts ...I had to research it below

I just ordered my second fountain pen. Another Pilot Metro, but one of the Retro Pop styles and with a medium nib instead of fine. I also bought my first bottled ink so I'll be moving on from cartridges. Is it weird to be excited about a pen?

 

I'll be writing in purple and deep lavender, aww yiss.

I have been looking at the photos and Im also convinced because its about taking a  break away from the frenetic nature of my new job in the city, I haven't really taken much leave the whole year and Im taking 20 days over Xmas

 

 

@ GB 

 

I mentioned  this before to you, you must come visit SA. You pay for the flight and you can bring someone with if you want and we can stay at this house if we buy it. So the accommodation is free in SA, I like to encourage people to come to SA and if I cant utilize family assets for visitors then it would seem sad...but my family are very cool and  I just need to confirm what weekend...come to SA for 7 days I say? 

 

But we have other places like the beach cottage but this place is ideal for you I agree

It looks great but the house seems a bit small but how much space do you need for a getaway

 

gas geyser = hot water heater?

 

PS 257 acres!

You right, its very small...I copied these statistics 

 

 One bedroom with high ceiling

• One bathroom

• Open-plan kitchen, dining and living area

• Gas geyser and cooker

• Solar power

 

 

But I see they say you can build additional buildings 

 

Oh Shady the same invite I told GD about  to come visit SA you can also come to visit to SA and bring the wife if you want, in fact I extend the offer to most other members who I know....I just need to know who

 

As I said I am proud of SA and if I can incentivize you guys to come visit that works for me 

[Hurlshort]

Yeah, go visit Bruce in SA. He totally won't murder you, honest truth. 

[Amentep]

He'll have his stripper friends do it instead.

You mustn't worry about the crime, yes it is real and worrying but  we dont see it and its not something you tend to think about in most places

Seriously though, that place looks rather picturesque.

Well same offer applies to you and Hurlshot, you would basically pay for the flight and some spending money

 

Transport and accommodation is free ?
