@Eskom_SA Just privatise so the problems can be fixed.

It seems Stellenbosch University is going to have to enquire about potty training status of prospective students as part of the application process.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@cathjenkin Thinking of you. This is very difficult.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@Julia_ZA It is really tough. I have two very anxious children. It is draining for them and for me. Are you in Cape Town? If so, I can send you details for a group class that runs for seven sessions for children aged about 5-10. Helping us a lot.

@Knorr_ZA @Knorr Nooooo

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

Tuna mate is vanishing from our shops. Where is it hiding @Knorr

@Brink_Thinker My children knew two of theirs. A third was alive for a short time after the birth if my first child. Didn't know mine and my parents, whose grandparents they were didn't know them either.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@cathjenkin Oh no, I'm so sorry.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

If you've suddenly developed a conscience & decided to support covid vacc, but have spent years allowing anti vaxxers free reign and taking anyone who dares question them to task about kindness, don't act surprised when your platform's stance is queried.

Children can be so very sweet. Working at a gala when I saw a competitor trying to read my name badge, I gave him smile (good thing I have wrinkles to show around my mask) and got a huge wave and grin back (swimmers so they can't wear a mask in the water).

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

Interesting seeing people who are used to being kow towed to react when it doesn't happen. They feel attacked.

@MamaZombieZA @cathjenkin Yet those some managers won't admit that they have a performance problem themselves as they won't deal with poor performance by their subordinates. Some people also obsess about minutes at desk instead of productivity and cannot cope with the loss of control.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@cathjenkin So glad I work for a company that has said we will take the good parts we learnt in this pandemic and use them. I'm a work from home person now and for the foreseeable future. Yay.

Only need two things this year:

1) Get vaccinated
2) Don’t vote ANC or EFF

That’s it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that taxi drivers get taught their tricks of the trade from school parents at morning drop off and afternoon collection.

@EL_LAMASIA @pierredevos @TimesLIVE Covid pneumonia. The pneumonia is not separate from the covid.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@MikaNo976 @pierredevos @TimesLIVE Er, covid pneumonia.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@JanFranco22 @martinbrink1972 @Olwen76781234 @JJ_Stellies @runawayrene You'll need to support that statement with credible published reports. You're talking nonsense so I know you can't.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@JJ_Stellies More than ten million vaccines administered here so far and still no hospitals full of people because of it. What we do have is hospitals full of people dying of Covid. People who don't vaccinate seem to struggle with numbers.

[Kim Norton @SmileyKimmy123]

@auris123 @JJ_Stellies My mom died of Covid pneumonia just before the vaccines became available. She could have lived. She was so pleased I had volunteered on one of the trials and then she got sick and died alone and scared.
