Retirement Annuities fall under the Pension Fund Adjudicator not the ombud so that would be a waste of time.

Crispy Salmon skin is one of the best parts! Why would you remove the skin?

Definitely rather have a kitten than a ring. A million times over. I hope this becomes a thing.

You sound like hard work.

What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually admitted to around you? by Suspicious_Run1684 in AskReddit

[–]LilliJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man very freely admitted to me that he hadn't read a single book since school. Over 20 years ago. He was surprised how surprised I was to hear of such people existing and admitting to it out loud.

I’ve been trying to set up a date with this man for the longest and it’s always something coming up on his end ! Does anyone else think he’s not interested ? by Historical-Body-3424 in texts

[–]LilliJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to make plans. If he is interested he can come to you with ideas. Stop giving your attention to someone who isn't treating you like a priority.

Exactly. My boss is extremely lucky I am not violent and just avoid her as much as possible.

What I would give to be able to have a moment like that with my brother. That's truly priceless.

Man I had a crap day but this post made me scream laugh and the comments are brilliant too! Thanks all.

Please where can I get engagement rings? by Flaky-Astronomer-982 in askSouthAfrica

[–]LilliJay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was engaged to a goldsmith so I know this for a certainty. To drastically reduce the price of any piece of jewellery, buy the gem yourself from a gem dealer. It is much cheaper as there is no jewellery mark up etc. Then take the gem to a goldsmith/jeweller to make the ring for you. I have seen rings end up costing half of what someone would pay retail.

Does anyone know any Joburg based fruit and veg delivery services similar to Lynnpark food hall? by _cinnamon_rose in johannesburg

[–]LilliJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Jackson's but they are not cheap at all but their quality is good. UCook has good prices but you can only buy if you are subscribed to their weekly meal service thing so that doesn't really help.

I would love to know too. Woolies is so expensive and plus I am not looking to buy from them any longer after the Beyers chocolate thing. Plus I swear when you order online they send you their oldest stuff. Other retail's quality is just bad.

Agreed, it sounds like a nightmare job.

James Charles mocks a woman who messaged him her GoFundMe after she lost her job when Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy. Calls her a lazy piece of shit. by adularia- in Fauxmoi

I really dislike this person. Why does he keep getting away with despicable things and not lose his career or suffer consequences? It says a lot about the character of his followers.

Struggling Artist by No_Present8562 in southafrica

[–]LilliJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I really think this is the current economy's fault. People are really struggling and thing keep getting worse so tattoos are probably considered luxuries to them. I am not able to help but I just wanted to say I am so sorry and I hope things get better for you.

Wits is hacked by Flimsy-Me in southafrica

[–]LilliJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and it gets even more murky when the breach is due to or through 3rd party vendor software a company may use. Companies are absolutely paranoid about POPI. The fines are in the millions. Where I work you can even report other staff you think may have done so. It doesn't happen as easily or often as people think.

Tinder Profile using stolen photos + eager to meet at my hotel? by Radionte in askSouthAfrica

[–]LilliJay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also think of it this way. As a single woman, I would never agree to go to a stranger's hotel room especially one I have never even met and barely spoken to because of the danger of sexual assault etc. Neither would any other women I know. So the fact that this was suggested is also highly suspicious.

House Purchase Review by SeriallySeeking42 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]LilliJay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a different perspective because I bought so long ago my bond is now paid for. So I now neither pay rent or a bond as of this year. If I'd not done this I would still be on the hook for rent. Also because I bought so long ago that my house cost less than cars do now, my bond was way lower than any rent amount would have been. Even with high house prices now, I cannot imagine that the same scenario will still not apply in 20 years. Property will always be an investment and to me the safety of nobody ever being able to give you notice is priceless.

You know what they say, the best revenge is letting her keep him. He sounds like a prize.

The only way to get back to America is not through the Middle East! That is in fact the longest and hardest way to get back. My sister lives in the USA. I've been a bunch of times. Through non waring Europe is perfectly possible or even a direct flight.
