  1. Well April is bang in the middle of the winter, and if your in Mpumalanga it can be breath taking, but chilly. August is a little windy if I recall, and has been known to have some rain. If you dont mind the cold dark mornings and crisp Mpumalanga air, I'd vote for the April trip. Good luck and have fun, it's a beautiful country.

  7. Ultimately, the President makes the decision. Thanks for the laughs There is no way the President makes the decisions .... the people who put him in power do, he's a puppet for the big business, industries and elite that sway opinion and power in his favor. Every now and then there are posts like this in these forums that make sense. I find it interesting that when a person is proud of their race, they are judged. Lets be honest growing up as a African or of African decent in any country, your at a disadvantage, even if you live in Africa. Yet without a doubt "black" people are proud to be who they are and continue to seek a great life and respect for their race (not including MJ here). I come from a country torn apart by years of racial segregation, and saw with my own eyes that when all was made equal, the "white" race were the ones who complained the most about things. Nelson Mandela, could have eradicated the "white" menace from the tip of Africa without hesitation, yet he is humble and forgiving enough to desire to live in a place of common understanding. Yet he is still proud to be "black" and proud to be African. Putting Obama in the White House, is a good idea, in a country as diverse on so many level, (Race, Religion, Origin) it can only be a good thing in the long run, times have changed and so to should the mind set of the voting public, voting for conservative agendas (guns & gays) will only produce a society less tolerant of diversity.

  16. If your burps are related to heartburn, then I suggest you look at a natural acid reducer that can help reduce or control the issue. Probio-Wellness Acid Balance has worked great for me the past two weeks far more than the "corporate drugs" and it's natural. Diet or certain foods can be a big part in the inability for the body to fully digest and absorb, Try removing one item that you consume on your regular diet and see if that helps. I know it takes time but you could find you just have a issue with a certain food or fluid. Also look at getting Chewable Papaya Pills, eat one after every meal, helps increase the bodies ability to digest foods. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=47 Or maybe you just do need that boyfriend your doctor so suggested ... lol
  17. You have like 8 minutes for solid freefall ..... so I dont mind missing a few classic lines "Fly like a eagle Johnny" Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.
  18. Toggles - I remember that jump so well... Nico was doing a training jump for his Cat III with me, I watched him and the fellow jumper track off and I deployed, after doing my usual checks etc, I looked around for the rest of the jumpers on my dive and saw Nico flying off in the distance, I headed his way to go buzz him. I saw him pop the brakes an the canopy fluttered a little and thats when I noticed a brake line flying loose behind the canopy, but it was not turning. I few seconds later I saw him do him EP's ...... he landed with both yellow toggles in his hands, his rigger with a buddy the night before did not work And from then on Nico is called Toggles Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.
  19. Please lets be honest here, men and women like sex and will if they feel so, indulge, it's the society that we live in that has cast opinion on sexuality between men and women. Stress has a separate effect on people, there have been many studies on this, the type of person who thrives on stress and being on the edge is also prone to be more risky sexually, irrespective of the gender.

  24. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya I beg to differ, the "dollar a month" is based on what the UN sends to this region in aid based on the population numbers. People always assume that the actual money is traded, where the reality is that most of africa has become reliant on aid from various organizations UN, WHO etc In fact most of Africa would be just peachy if it were not for the expansion of Europe and the spice trade 100's of years ago. When it was deamed appropriate to colonize these regions and force christianity and a "modern" lifestyle on the inhabitants. This "shack" that has the media all up in arms, is by African standards a average home, and if he has the right connections he might have electrcity (stolen or not). Having come from Africa and been half raised by a nanny, Anna (sotho native) .... I have a good understanding of the community system that is still very active in Africa. Funny how the western world thinks this poor guy is suffering, where the truth might be that he is happy, semi educated and enjoys his life. And he is supported by the tight knit community, on a day to day basis.
