Wednesday, May 01, 2013. Pick n Pay has a new CEO.but does he have a clue? Earnings per share from continuing operations are 31% lower. The dividend is down by 36%. Dear Mr. Brasher:. Last week I heard you speak on MoneyWeb on Radio 702. I thought you'd like to know why I stopped shopping at Pick n Pay and why my venture into a store today only firmed my resolve. Then why did Woolies and Spar have them? I have gone to multiple Pick n Pay stores looking for frozen peas.at one store someone had taped a...

Sunday, January 22, 2012. And I still don't get it. You would think, at this venerable age, nothing a person could do would surprise me, that by now I would have experienced enough that little in the human condition would give me pause. So, when my phone went “ping” repeatedly this morning—at 5:30—you would think I would expect it to be my deadbeat tenant, messaging me that she had her most recent instalment on her arrears, right? 8221; Good question, isn’t it? Are in the wrong, isn’t it obvious th...

A View from the Other Side: December 2011
http://sweetvioletsa.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. Contrary to popular belief, Christ was not born on December 25. The best guess of Biblical scholars puts the time of year more towards autumn, most likely some time in September. For a lengthy list of pagan celebrations that fell on or about December 25 of each year, click here. The nice thing about "Happy Holidays" as a greeting is that it acknowledges and enfranchises everyone. From the most devout Christian to whom the word "holiday" still carries its original meaning of...

Friday, March 30, 2012. When Eskom hands you lemons. Originally posted in 2008- Edited today. I happened upon a thought provoking article on the web today, in a place I didn't expect to find it. Tessa Silberbauer, writing for IOLjobs. Had this to say:. The other evening, while sitting and looking at the puddle of candlelight in front of a mirror, I had to laugh at myself. For all my belief in saving resources and environmental awareness, I've still been spoiled by "progress": I've forgotten so much.

Thursday, May 24, 2012. Big boobs: blessing or curse? Breathes there a maiden raised in our culture who, upon seeing a full body profile of herself that reveals a modest bustline, has not wished for bigger boobs? Well, I got my wish. Jayne Mansfield reportedly carried around a pair of 40D or DDs…I’m packing a pair of 44 DDs. And it ain’t what it is cracked up to be! 8221; I would be a rich woman today. And if you are a blonde (natural or otherwise), make that IQ drop 20 points per cup size. Then there ar...

A View from the Other Side: The Folly of Prohibition: why banning guns won't work
http://sweetvioletsa.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-folly-of-prohibition-why-banning.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. The Folly of Prohibition: why banning guns won't work. When did banning something make it go away? In 2010 the US government spent more than $15 billion. 8230;that’s $500 per second. 8230;on the War on Drugs. And that is just the tax dollars spent on a drug policy that is and has been an unmitigated failure…except for those who have exploited and grown rich and powerful in the black market America’s prohibition of drugs has created. With this for a history to reference, who ...

Thursday, July 25, 2013. A letter just sent to ACSA- Airport Company of South Africa. Last week I flew from Lanseria to Cape Town on Thursday and back on Sunday. My experience with your baggage handling was extremely poor. I was fortunate enough not to need that extra bottle of test strips, but the next diabetic your employees do this to may not be so fortunate and he could die as a result of not having his medical needs met due to the carelessness of your staff.
