I just remember a name of a village that layed before a bit bigger town ... I saw it 1986 and its name was "L'Arivée" (with or withourt 2 r). I interpreted it back then as "we have arrived !" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
(That was on a bycicle tour in a group. We were young, then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

With 2 r.


You are still young.

Barta

Thank you ! *bows*

Good News: the new PC system at work "nearly" works perfectly Yay!!
Bad News: Weekend about to start, all the new waiters are leaving, cause they want the holiday season off .... means I gotta get my sorry ..... into gear again and start all over again *sigh*

@ Übs
D. was a dear friend of mine, he was more then just a friend, he was my soulmate, there wasn't a guy that could listen better then he. But sadly enough, he died three years ago from aids. He wasn't a drug user, neither did he lived on the edge, but his boyfriend, (wich I never trusted btw) gave him the HIV virus, what killed him after almost ten years. He died on december 3th 2002, that is why I feel sad in that period of time. But I'm ok again, D. wouldn't have wanted me to feel sad because of him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AIDS, the greatest threat to mankind... Second to A-bombs... At least I think it is... Anyway, it's a horrible dicease. If you want to draw your thoughts of D, you can allways comfort yourself with the fact that that boyfriend you allways trusted is dead too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

Besides, it's good that you're feeling better now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

no, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

man is the greatest threat to mankind.......

IMO man is the CREATOR of all the greatest threats, and therefor not the threat itself (even though it is, indirectlly).

Good news: I had a rather drastic haircut and a new color, really short and black. Beware!! The black widow is in da house! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
I've had all kinds of different colors this year. From yellow blond, to red, then dark brown and now it's black. You'll never find me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Bad news: I have a very lazy day, and that is not good. I have soo much work to do, but I lack the energy today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Black is best, especially with brown eyes

Good news: I quit my job!!!! (i have had enough.... had a very bad month... so its time to cut my losses
More good news: I have a new job starting in JAN.... a little less money innitially.... but give it 6 months and i should be back to where i want to be.... in the golden income range.... (and hopefully by the end of year 2 in the platinum range).

Bad news: i now have no income for December (but also less expenses since i dont have to spend an average salary on petrol)... but still i need to make a plan....

Good news / bad news (not sure which YET): We bought a house, everything is going well with that (just the final transfer still waiting....), and we are moving the 1st of JAN!!!!!! (now immagine moving on a hangover <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasEek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />)

But its a nice house.... HUGE stand 1600m2, 3 bedrooms (they need to be painted urgently), only 1 bathroom(that will change soon), nice kitchen with BIC to the roof <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> , lounge and dining room.... , garage with double servant's quaters attached (that will be converted into a flat first thing).

so thats what's happening in my life currently... already packed about 50 HUGE boxes, and you cant see a dent in the amount of stuff i have to pack <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Congratulations on yer new Job and on your house move.

If you know YOU'RE going to have a hango over when you move, you might find it difficult to find pepole to help you move <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />. Or, you can allways make the 31:st alcohol free <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />! For your friends too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />!!!!!

Anyway, congratz to your new house/work. Let's hope this one pays you in time... (The job, not the house...)

Congratulations. Turning the Tide, as I like to say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What's a BIC ?

@ Lady Rain
Congrats with the quitting of your old job, your new job and your new house!! I'm soo glad that the tides are turning for you. That house, is that the one you showed me earlier? Well, if it's that one, nice place you got there!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> I wish you a lot of good luck with your packing, I've gone throught the same just a while ago and I've still haven't unpacked all of my stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
No more Kirby's for you, girl!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I'm also curious to know, I've tried to look it up but I can't find anything, it must be something South African. I guess it's a Build In Convector or something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Barbecue inside chimney ?

Barta

Haha, good one Barta!!
What about Bubbles in Curtains? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

hehehehehhehe

Nope its not that house gal'... as soon as i have some pics, i will show you lot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

BIC = Built in Cupboards (and yea, we refer to wardrobes under that too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) its a common SA abreviation, sorry i assumed that it was a global thing....


CLOSE!!!!!! Bubbles in carpets!!!! lol they are gonna get changed VERY SOON.... they horrible, dirty!!!, and even broken in patches!!!!

Built in cuppoards. That's not very nice if you'd like to refurnish the room, right?

Good news : I've got a new computer chair <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />! The old one was comfy, but a bit low. This one is both comfy AND high enough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />!

Any bad news? Not that I can acually think of. I don't see tests as bad news (thinking of national tests in Math D on Thursday), I see them as a nesecary pain. And it's not even painfull, I like doing tests. It's funny. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
