Finally and not so

It seems that finally there might be an end to my laptop insurance claim.  Yes, I’m still waiting for them to pay me out.  First they wanted me to replace my laptop at a specific place and I told them there was no way in hell that they would force me to buy one from a specific place.  I will not be forced to support companies I don’t like, just so that they can get a kick-back.  So after many unpleasant words exhanged and a zillion phone calls, they have finally agreed to pay the money out to me.  Now when this will happen I do not know but I hopefully I will finally get it replaced tomorrow. 

I think I have picked up  at least 20 kg since my folks bought the shop.  Every night we have a chocolate here or some koeksisters there or biscuits ….  I blame my parents lol  My ever growing hips blames them too.  I mean how do I say no when every single sweet thing screams out my name.  Begging me eat and enjoy!?

Oh and you gotta love Jason.  He asked me if all people can make food.  So I said yes.  Sometimes men cook as well.  She he says “Oh men can?  So men and people can” lol

 

 

Mad

This afternoon we had a typical thunderstorm.  LOVE a bit of a thunderstorm.  Impressive thunder, one on top of the other.  Sounding as though the one tries to be louder than the other almost like my boys on most days.  The lightning that can outdo most disco lights.

We were sitting in the study doing homework (I really think there is a good chance of me passing Grade 2 with good marks) when there was a particularly loud clap of thunder.

Quintus turns to me in all seriousness:

“My word.  I wonder who God is angry with”

 

Why men don’t write advice columns

Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn’t gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt.
I walked back home to get my husband’s help. When I got home I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbor lady making mad passionate love to her.
I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years.
When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he went into the back yard and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but found her unconscious. He’d carried the woman back to our house, laid her in bed, and began CPR. When she awoke she immediately began thanking him and kissing him and he was attempting to break free when I came back. But when I asked him why neither of them had any clothes on, he broke down and admitted that he’d been having an affair for the past six months.
I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don’t feel I can get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Mrs.. Sheila Usk

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps.

Walter

 

Boy talk

This is the conversation that took place between two brothers after I tried to get Quintus to stop being monkeying around and do his homework.

Quintus stop being full of shit and do your homework. 

Yes don’t talk shit.  When you talk it you will be full of it.

No.  You can just go to the toilet and you won’t be full of it no more.

NOT TRUE.  Pappa goes to the toilet and he is still full of shit!
