Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

[RainstormZA]

Thanks all. It was all worth it in the end.

The online elearning is all worth it. I get to study in my own time and my own pace. Even at night you get access 24/7, and maintenance is every Sunday evening for 2 hours.

Email support from IT Academy is awesome. Right through to issuing mastery certificates.

Raising kids is no easy task, but you've obviously excelled at it!

I am a very proud dad today.

Locust 1 aka Bradley turns 21 today, he is a big man now! Dam, they grow up so fast, feeling a bit old today.. Last year at varsity for him to finish his Bcom Economics and International Trade at NWU Potch.

And I’m doubly blessed today, Locust 2 aka Jason has passed Gr12 with a 61% average, he really put in the effort if you know where he and his marks came from, and for 8 subjects, not 7! Now for him to start his Bsc Information Technology.

Now to wait for that future earning potential to materialize in the long term! Man, the vape stuff I’m going to buy then...............

Congrats and well done on your boy's achievements.keep up the good work!

We crib about not having ample car parking, today I was looking for a bike parking for 15 mins. Today was no black friday sale, was just another weekend, and this is how the parking lot was like

Holy cow!

@Faiyaz Cheulkar That's the way to go. In SA it's one person in a car a lot of the time - and then we complain about the cost of petrol and parking. We should follow India's example - and China's too, with their electric bicycles.

Actually I was considering getting an electric bicycle just for out and about here in Yzer, but then there would be one more thing to charge.

@Resistance @Hooked @RainstormZA @ARYANTO , what a way to end a perfect weekend.
I received this picture.

Thought it’s nice of the two of them sending me a picture ever so often again.

Then got this one!!!

Wel at least I know who my daughter in law is going to be. I’m a triple blessed dad, and in one weekend. And yes he did it correctly, asked parents before asking her.

I wish them everything that is good that life offers. Now to finish studying and get jobs, marriage is not a cheap thing.

Also told her if your family is poor that’s unfortunate, if your in-laws are poor it’s only your fault.

Had a little visitor at home tonight, my bulterrier started barking at it's kennel, went and checked and was greeted by a nice african python hiss. Called a handler to remove as Im used to handle domesticated snakes not wild ones (had ball pythons etc.) Quite to my suprise the handler took it by hand and the "wild" python seemed calm, without a bite, posed for a few photos and in the bucket to be released somewhere safe.

Apparently not, according to the handler, the 6th python in Modimolle (Nylstroom) this year, I live opposite a Golf estate with game. Since the rain we had a lot of frogs, in my yard as well, so recon this guy came after food. Had puff adder, night adder and a lot of brown house snakes in the past, this is the first python.

Sorry though, doesn't sound fun at all.

Not really newsworthy I suppose, but since I fell off the wagon with quitting smoking, I just wanted to tell someone today I'm 3 months sober. Batshit crazy and stressed as hell, but sober, lol.

This is a great news, well done.

I've tried to do the whole quitting caffeine thing this year, failed miserably to date. We sometimes don't realise how addictive and problematic certain things become to us (sugar is another classic).
Intake of coffee is down from 12 to 4 cups a day, but stuck here now.
