Easy , if the round disk didn't break , take an old wooden broom handle , cut to desired length , cut a groove with a saw/grinder ,length wise .Mark app. where the little hole is in the middle ,drill small hole right through , pop a nail through ,bend the point back so the nail doesn't fall out , and you have a primitive pizza wielietjie .Was great, but I broke my pizza wielietjie, how many days until I can replace it now? Next pizza night the big knives come out, butcher knife slices, only one that’s big enough and sharp as hell.

Smokers and vapers who are infected with the new coronavirus could possibly expect a more severe infection, health experts warn.

Day 4.
Woke up with no electricity thanks to Eskom trying to make the lockdown more pleasant. Had to stop at the garage to buy petrol and a cup of coffee which tasted like petrol. I hope the day gets better!

Now why did diy not cross my mind? I’ll blame lockdown fatigue!
pretty pissed off with our complex, and the CSOS communication which went out.
not allowing walking of dogs/ sanity stretch walks as such within the complex.
their guideline conveniently says though "group playing of golf is prohibited" ?
I'm all for trying to keep this virus contained- but why the differential and preferential behavior?
Rant Over

F. nou weet jy waarom ons pelle is .Now why did diy not cross my mind? I’ll blame lockdown fatigue!
Thought I would chip in. I feel very privileged at this time. In 1985 I bought a large stand and in 1986 built a 120 sq m house. Over the years bits and pieces were added on and eventually we managed to finish the bond. We are now able to go outside without even being close to our neighbors, our dogs can run, we can swim and braai and we have enough food for a couple of weeks at least.
My vape requirements were sorted before lockdown as I DIY for juice and I have enough wire and cotton to build. I also bought a Vapefly mesh plus RDTA to play with if I get bored.
Reading some of the posts on this forum does illustrate how frustrated some people are. A lack of space in general and worse, a lack of personal space will in a very short time wear down the most stoic of people.
If I was to make any comment that could be useful, it would be this. Organize some personal time and space for every family member. Whether that be X box time or reading time or just sitting in the garden/stoep/balcony time. It is not normal for us to be inside our families personal space and this will be the factor that will cause conflict. If you have children, they will need this too. They also need their space and as much as we want to provide them with activity, we need to provide them space as well. The same goes for those that have elderly parents, yes we want to be kind and include them in everything, but they also need their space. If you are the elderly parent, then respect your adult kids space.
Cabin fever, cage stress, whatever term you use, is real and potentially damaging on relationships. It is OK to say, we must be strong and let's stick together but a reality is that very few of us spend 24 hours a day with family and loved ones. To have a forced sudden change can be challenging.
Give each other some space, try not to be demanding and allow others to deal with this in their own way. Their thoughts may differ greatly from your own. If you are in a cramped place, try to create some time and space. A half hour on the toilet with a good book can do wonders if you are feeling the angst. Vent if you need to, but not in your family space, get on a forum or social media and vent away. You will not be short of company.
PS, don't drink alone, unless you are isolated on your own like some on this forum.
Lastly, I can only speak for me but I see this enforced lockdown as a solution, not a punishment nor an opportunity to bash all and sundry that I think is wrong with the world.
My Grandfathers and their fathers fought great evils in two world wars, I would one day like to tell my grandchildren that I also fought a great war, not with guns and weapons but with patience, with common sense, a sense of duty and with the realization that the virus does not discriminate thus making me responsible for the outcome.
I wish you all well in these trying times. Stay safe.

Day 1 - Rewick and recoil Dvarw's
Day 2 - Sort out my T-Shirts
Day 3 - Clean my display cabinet and sort the vape gear!
Day 4 – Change my Remotes Battery
Day 2 - Sort out my T-Shirts
Day 3 - Clean my display cabinet and sort the vape gear!
Day 4 – Change my Remotes Battery
and then ?
I mean after the battery is changed - that's a 2 min operation@ARYANTO that is a 18day workout.
Then probably start cleaning or polishing one of the million sets of mods and atties in that box.I mean after the battery is changed - that's a 2 min operation
Then the boat and fishing gear.
One thing I know is I'll be entertained with all the pics to come
Yep, I wonder how many divorces there will be after lockdown? Some couples/families find a holiday together stressful and that's not lockdown!
I really like your idea of each person having their own space. I agree that is essential. A time and space where one can be alone being disturbed by anyone. And you even respect the fact that kids need me-time too! Wow! That's really something!
Have laugh, feel good ...
Once again they're confusing vaping with smoking. They even refer to toxins in e-cigarettes and mention Vitamin E acetate.
Smokers would most certainly be more vulnerable to the virus, but not vapers per se, provided their lungs are in pretty good condition.
I've been vaping exclusively for about 4 years now and a month or two ago my oxygen levels in the blood were tested (just as part of an annual medical, though I've never had that done before). My oxygen saturation level is 99% so I guess my lungs are OK!
I would think that anyone who has been vaping for at leat a year should have healthy lungs by now, unless they have an underlying condition e.g. asthma. However, dual-users (those who smoke and vape) and those who have recently switched to vaping would unfortunately not have an advantage.
In China smoking is a national sport. In my 6 years of living there, I never met a man who didn't smoke. Even in a taxi in winter, both the taxi driver and the passengers smoke! So it's not surprising that so many people fell ill.
In my parallel universe things work different:Chocolate, zoo cookies, Simba chips (if they had) are essentials @ARYANTO?
Coca Cola = coffee
Zoo cookies = breakfast
Chocolates = midnight tv binge snack
H2o is substance to wash in, not to consume - fish have sex in it .
Simba = staple food like rice or wheat
We are all 4 super Alphas so meat consumption is extremely high
Veggies is for those who can't hunt or for potato salad and potjies.
Beer /gin /tonic is needed to get our social ''face'' on.
I am 56, not a diabetic , not 400 pounds , no beerbelly , very fast metabolism ,
sleep between 6-10 hours a night depending on what I'm reading or watching, bp 122 /75 ,
my Dr loves me cause there is no reason for panic if he sees me.
I don't have to go out to get Coke anymore.Coke changed that when they stopped using sugar.
And if I still had smoked, someone would have gotten hurt by now. I've been indoors since Saturday and plan to do some chores tomorrow. The things I did doesn't really count as we do it all the time.
