This is a courtecy note to inform bloggers about the sudden disapearance of SMILEYS on the web site.
Sorry about the smileys fellas…. and girls…. I critically looked at what smileys actually did to LOAD TIMES of pages here on the blog, and determined that with our KAK WEBHOST it takes 4 TIMES LONGER to load a page when smileys are included.
Sooooo, until I find another WEBHOST who will not throttle our CPU USAGE, I will keep the smileys off.
Finding the host is not the problem, finding the time to migrate the site over to that host AND being off-line for 18 – 24 hours is the real problem.
But you guys know me… where there’s a problem, there’s a solution… so just hang in there!
Regards,
29@carol – No crocks…. hehehe…
I do own flip-flops though, but that’s for beach wear….
puma boet the sharks team will be announced around 11.30 am
@grootblousmile – “Wedwo” that went right over my head……the reference that is.
Ref the footwear – you have given the correct answer!! No crocs and flip flops for the beach!! Only fat ladies with dirty feet wear crocs here now!! Eughhhh (Repulsed smiley)
@sharky_forever – Morning Sharky, have you discovered the meaning of life overnight? Skop got me thinking…..
33@carol – “Wedwo” is a foul-smelling fish-paste that we get in SA to smear on bread…. but that’s as far as I want to go in the explanation….

Life Is What We Make It by Edgar A. Guest
Life is a jest;
Take the delight of it.
Laughter is best;
Sing through the night of it.
Swiftly the tear
And the hurt and the ache of it
Find us down here;
Life must be what we make of it.
Life is a song;
Dance to the thrill of it.
Grief’s hours are long,
And cold is the chill of it.
Joy is man’s need;
Let us smile for the sake of it.
This be our creed:
Life must be what we make of it.
Life is a soul;
The virtue and vice of it,
Strife for a goal,
And man’s strength is the price of it.
Your life and mine,
The bare bread and the cake of it
End in this line:
Life must be what we make of it.
@carol – lol carol gm ma’am , and skop was trying to be nasty to you without being direct
see i read through his shit and much of it has to do with the fact you and i and others are now comming to RT
just like sheriff asked me about ashley
@Ashley – Hi Ashley, if I knew how to copy that and save it somewhere I would….”Life must be what we make of it”. I like that….
Sheriff misses you by the way!
38@carol –
thanks carol
have a look at most of edgar guest’s poems btw
one of my favourate poets!
@sharky_forever – Sharky, I have met Skop and he would be teasing, with a bit of a twinkle in his eye…..
I am no deep thinker…He knows that! (Dizzy smiley)
@Ashley – 36
Nice post there Ash.
@carol – 28
Now I like that prediction. Even if we win by one its enough this week. No need for the bonus point.
@grootblousmile – 35 – OK moving swiftly on from that…..
I am now going to be a whirlwind of productivity…..and NOT get distracted by you!! (Determined smiley)
Laters Webmonster and all.
@sharky_forever – 32
Thanks mate. Have been looking in here all the time to see when the team will be announced.
@Ashley – 39 Noted Ashley..cheers.
@Puma – 42 That result will get you through anyway!! Must dash….
38@carol – hallo carol, say hello to sheriff from bdb. Tell him I said: “Sheriff, jy is reg, maar nie in die kop nie.” 😉 (remember to include the smiley)
36: asbak, sien jy is ‘n man van kultuur. Dit is mooi, maar nie heeltemal waar nie, want ons kan nie altyd bepaal wat met ons lewe gebeur nie, of dit ‘maak’ soos ons dit altyd graag wil hê nie. Daar is ook iewers ‘n mooi gesegde wat sê ons moet bid dat die hemelse Vader ons die krag gee om te verander wat ons kan, en te berus by dit wat ons nie kan verander nie. Iets in daardie lyn.
@Puma – trust me bro i will post that thread soon as its available
@carol – 46
I sure will do Carol. Thanks. Enjoy your day Carol.
I am very busy today as well. So log on and off the whole morning waiting to see who will be selected for Sharks.
I meant It
44@Puma – Sharks Team is out… and on a Thread.
@sharky_forever – 48
Thanks mate. Hope that Beast and Bissie are there. Only if they are 100% though.
@Ashley – Actually Sheriff is not happy with you lol , comming here and not informing him as ur friend lol.
he said he hopes we dont treat you as a quota here lmfao
I said nope people are treated as such in keo , in RT we treat people with respect etc , he then responded with a “yes but how many people in there are people of colour ”
he thought we are between 300 to 500 members in RT :lol:, but jokes aside i did sense he is a little unhappy as you left without a bye
@grootblousmile – 51
HEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA. Thanks boeta, going to look at it now.
sorry guys, dont want to bore you
but
i have a seaking feeling that you might just enjoy this one!!
….
My Pa says that he used to be
A bright boy in geography;
An’ when he went to school he knew
The rivers an’ the mountains, too,
An’ all the capitals of states
An’ bound’ry lines an’ all the dates
They joined the union. But last night
When I was studyin’ to recite
I asked him if he would explain
The leading industries of Maine—
He thought an’ thought an’ thought a lot,
An’ said, “I knew, but I’ve forgot.”
My Pa says when he was in school
He got a hundred as a rule;
An’ grammar was a thing he knew
Becoz he paid attention to
His teacher, an’ he learned the way
To write good English, an’ to say
The proper things, an’ I should be
As good a boy in school as he.
But once I asked him could he give
Me help with the infinitive—
He scratched his head and said: “Great Scott!
I used to know, but I’ve forgot.”
My Pa says when he was a boy
Arithmetic was just a toy;
He learned his tables mighty fast
An’ every term he always passed,
An’ had good marks, an’ teachers said:
“That youngster surely has a head.”
But just the same I notice now
Most every time I ask him how
To find the common multiple,
He says, “That’s most unusual!
Once I’d have told you on the spot,
But somehow, sonny, I’ve forgot.”
I’m tellin’ you just what is what,
My Pa’s forgot an awful lot!
55@Ashley – What is this… Dead Poet’s Society?
Hehehe
53@sharky_forever –
well then maybe i’ll have to go and say my goodbye’s, hehehe!
@grootblousmile – he cant remember, hes forgot an awful lot! :-0
56@grootblousmile –
no
but
can it be, pretty please?
..
oh and btw
this is to show that i’m STILL a true gentleman
that monster on the “oop ketel” thread wasnt me!! :embarressed: (lol)
58@Tripples –
thanks tripples, hehehe
