The shack - William P. Young
I am just about finished reading this book, and have already decided I'm reading it again. For those of you who understand the theory that there is a possibility that there is some higher deity in charge of our universe, and this can take any form you want it to, it gives a different perspective of Christianity. No, I'm not bible punching, but have found the book interesting reading. The reviews are very good, (take them from where they come), and personal opinions vary. Some people cannot finish the book - too emotionally affecting, others read it, but get no value.
For me, one who has strayed over the past few years - yup I consider myself a believer - I found it gave me much to think about. The writer has a vivid imagination - if you want to believe it's an actual event you can - and I like the way he relates to what we as humans have been conditioned to think, and accept as "The Law".
Anyway, read it if you want - I liked the book and recommend it.

My latest bitching .....
So, some of you may watch TV, and even less of you will watch our National broadcaster, and then again, maybe this is why the service provider I complained about advertises on this medium, they don't want anyone responding to their ads!!!
Ok, so this is the offer:- Imperial motors.
So you have to go online to apply for someone to call you back. Yup, no calling them bro, we will call you (If we feel like it, obviously).
So I do. Over the past weekend. And by Wednesday I still had not heard from them.
So I go back to the online ad, and see there are no contact details, none at all.
So I contact an Imperial branch, who gives me the number for the Edenvale branch, who eventually give me the number for head office.
I ask to speak to the Marketing Manager, but "aim sory sah, butt he jus stpped owt. Kan eye git him to calluback?" Will he? Dunno.
So I leave my name and number, and, yup, he hasn't called.
So this am it's me and HelloPeter.co.za
""Imperial are running an ad on TV for Kia Sportage (white only!). You can only request a call on line. After 3 days they dont get back to me. I find no contact details for them online. So i call a branch, who gives me HO number. I call and ask to speak to the Marketing manager who 'has just stepped out sir, but will call you back'. That was Wed. Still no call. The question here is:- Why do they spend thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of rands to advertise on national television, near prime time, if they not going to bother to call back the people who apply online for a car? Is it that they just selling too many cars? Are overwhelmed with the demand, are just pathetic?
And why wont the marketing manager call me back? Is he too busy, or way above his clients so he doesn't have to.
At the end of the day I can buy a car anywhere, what they can offer, the only thing, is service, and obviously they have not realised this yet.
So, if you want to sell a car to me, call me. If not, well,keep wasting your money on useless TV ads to which you have no intention to respond anyway!
Clowns.
Oh, and get your online page sorted with some contact numbers. Clients like that, believe it or not. ""
The question now is - will they bother to respond?

Got to get another bottle
of this stuff. Got this one from a friend as a gift, and it's really nice stuff.
And we have a new friend / visitor in our home. A few in fact. This one was walking the ceiling above out bed. He was still a little guy, only about 40mm long.
And finally, in the past week we had great views of the horizon again, so I took some pics.

Conference at the Sandton Convention Center
This week we had to attend a presentation at the local Sandton Convention Center. We were served breakfast, tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Needless to say the grub was great, they had catered for about 50 people, only about 20 of us turned up, so there was plenty for everyone.
I took pics which I sent to the Princess as she always asks, "What did they serve?". Instead of that her question this time was "Are you just there to eat?"
Breakfast - Fancy glasses with Muesli and yogurt.
Morning tea - some fancy sweet stuff - hey how should I know what they are called. I just had to eat them.
Lunch was grand. Lots of cold stuff, hot stuff. Some lekker chicken schitznel pieces, mushrooms, little rolled up steak stuff (no I don't know what it's called), etc. No bread? How the hell can u expect me to eat a meal with no bread?
Serious spread of desserts for lunch too. I had one of those things in the glass that had nice stuff in it. No, I don't remember.....
Afternoon tea - oh boy, it's so hard to keep up, so much food, so little time....

Who's the best athlete?
A man met a beautiful blonde lady and decided he wanted to marry her right away.
She said, "But we don't know anything about each other."
He said, "That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along."
So she consented, they were married, and off they went on a honeymoon at a very nice resort.
One morning they were lying by the pool when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did two and a half tuck, followed by three rotations in the pike position, at which point he straightened out and cut the water like a knife.
After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel..
She said, "That was incredible!"
He said, "I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about each other as we went along."
So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After seventy-five laps she climbed out of the pool, lay down on her towel, and was hardly out of breath.
He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?"
"No," she said, "I was a prostitute in Vereeniging, but I worked both sides of the Vaal river.....
