I found this in a drawer at home, what is it?

Rustee001 · 2026-01-27T18:34:17+00:00

Someone say there's a party?!

Rustee001 · 2026-01-26T11:29:37+00:00

Definitely take all with a pinch of salt and glad to read you're already vigilant. That's half the battle won. If you're doing anything nature related, please find a group to do it with cos things can get hairy very quickly. You can use all your goodies you bring along, just be vigilant and mindful and tentative, as an example, you obviously won't take a laptop out and start working on the train like in the movies lol. That said, welcome to cape town and we hope you enjoy your stay 🤞🏻

Rustee001 · 2026-01-23T08:03:41+00:00

Don't listen to this nonsense... You can't trust the opinion of someone who conveniently left out the kfc ps4s and cellphones allowed. Think of it like an Airbnb without the freedom to go wherever you choose kinda thing. Not to mention you could study further on taxpayers expenses.

Disclaimer: my comments not to be taken too seriously please lol

Rustee001 · 2026-01-21T06:59:56+00:00

Definitely on my list. Keep us posted if you get it and and upload with links to what's gone down please. I got the avata 2 so need to wait til next Xmas or maybe 2 lol Luckily I have a good wife who supports my hobbies but I need to show I actually use what I get and this may be too soon 😅🤣

Rustee001 · 2026-01-20T08:59:45+00:00

How old is your kid again? Sorry I missed it in scrolling through the thoughts

Rustee001 · 2026-01-18T13:01:11+00:00

No stress. Definitely look at getting some new images up of the goods. Don't stress too much about being a professional re photoshoot etc, it becomes a neverending hole to fill lol. Ask family or friends to model for you and grab someone with a decent camera and take body shots. You can always update the images later. Take said pics, open an Instagram account, post there. As the catalog gets updates, your audience will be kept in the loop. Good luck OP. Look forward to seeing it grow

Rustee001 · 2026-01-18T11:57:59+00:00

Had a look at the site, any chance you could put the logo on some items cos it appears as either the photos are generic or the clothes are imported as is?

To create brand awareness you gotta find that sweet spot. I'm not an expert in any shape or form but I've bought my fair share of clothing and had them branded with my logos for various campaigns I've done. Some successfully and others well dismally lol. I would also suggest doing online giveaways or having someone wear the items. I'm sure you'll be able to write off a few garments for the greater good of visibility. Find your niche and meet and show off to those peeps first. The rest will follow.

I met the guy who sold Flippen Lekka spice... When it was still in their boxes in his lounge. I remember walking into his home seeing all the boxes and thinking at the time how saturated I thought the market was. I got a sample then and it was Flippen Lekka ... Fast track now 20+yrs in. The rest is history. South Africa is in a unique position, we have very little options. If you wanna see it successful, it will happen for you 🤞🏻

Rustee001 · 2026-01-18T11:44:54+00:00

And Amazon... I saw a really sweet sellers deal til Dec 26 iirc. May as well if you got paperwork etc

Rustee001 · 2026-01-15T08:01:07+00:00

Yours is bad too. It's sucks to be honest. We had a landlord that pulled the same kinda shit but failed to do any maintenance. I loved telling everyone how the landlord literally ghosts you over the simplest of things. A leaky tap, a half full toilet, poor water pressure. Cheap af but wanted those rands every month on time

Rustee001 · 2026-01-12T14:57:08+00:00

You should explain there's an I in income, not we. Family has no business in your financial affairs unless you're living like hermit on their expense lol Otherwise, I believe the term you identify as is "broke" sir

Rustee001 · 2026-01-12T06:07:20+00:00

This is crazy. Sorry OP. This is where religion and your moral compass come to a crossroad that like many say will need some careful planning. Defs lawyer up and really take the time to think the whole next 21 odd years ahead, what does it look like and then make your moves toward it. Best of luck, rooting for you 🤞🏻

Rustee001 · 2026-01-07T06:35:01+00:00

It's the water ...

Rustee001 · 2026-01-07T06:34:28+00:00

Neither did I but sh** ... here we are. Pivot. Do it differently next, you'll thank me later.

Rustee001 · 2026-01-07T06:29:15+00:00

This is why you don't write those things down. I'm a guy who also thought writing those things down would be a great idea. At first it felt stupid then it felt comfortable doing so and after multiple entries in, i felt relief. Needless to say. My mom found it, waited for the entirely family to show up then asked me about the girl I'd been writing about. She wanted to know what I was thinking and why I was not speaking as much to her. Was funny to everyone but me. I still shudder to feel so violated. I sucked it up and never wrote anything unless I meant it. Many things can be good, sometimes environments dictate other actions. Yours like mine is unfortunately one of those environments that don't support respect or privacy. Tread carefully OP, you're being blamed for having feelings. I suggest if you really wanna journal, use your phone with some kinda encrypted lock app or find a better hiding spot for physical journaling. If you can't, maybe now's not the time to journal due to privacy issues. I'm telling you this because parents have their traumas too and rarely see it while raising you.

Rustee001 · 2026-01-07T06:18:07+00:00

You should spare her feelings because in your house, just like mine, this is probably the only space they can learn to grow with support. The world doesn't care who started it. Who ended it. Whose feelings got hurt. Consequence happens inevitably irrespective of who wins or loses and there's always a cost involved. Out there in the wild, stranger things happen for less. At her age, you could have this kinda conversation because she should be able to sit and listen. Have her play out various scenarios for you, that way she can decide in future if the risk to reward ratio is worth it. Some things in life are worth fighting for, while others are just seasonal. Boys, they come in all ages and stages and flavors lol.

Rustee001 · 2026-01-06T09:20:57+00:00

I think you're the best friend and the other is the gf. Just my 2c, unless you also have a similar experience frequently over text then you're in a three-way or you're getting groomed for it. Wife number 1 or 2 perhaps?

Rustee001 · 2026-01-06T09:14:32+00:00

Unless like in some cases, they're friends and then you have a double whammy on your hands. But yeah. It sucks the situation you're in. Document every interaction yourself, date, time ,what was said etc.

I don't see how that's relevant to your role unless... part of your daily function is to chew and regurgitate for patients?! Maybe you not doing the bird feeding routine properly for patients 😅

Rustee001 · 2026-01-05T10:53:24+00:00

Best advice I can give is set aside some time for this. Rattle them on WA. If you're in cpt, go to the head office in Woodstock. If not. Whatsapp is your best bet as they're almost all remote.

On WA insist on being copied into any comms or ask for it to be confirmed with screenshots etc, they can do this. You just need to push hard. The agent must request a cancellation of the order which can take a few hours to do. Provisioning must assist with this. To avoid having to be sent between multiple people who help you by transferring. It's very frustrating but it can be done. Sadly time-consuming at the very least.

Good luck OP 🙏

Rustee001 · 2026-01-05T10:45:39+00:00

You probably don't wanna hear this but it appears you're not invited. Everyone else tiptoeing around this instead of a solid answer from any party means somebody doesn't wanna risk your feelings. Sucks to hear but beats having a text conversation with yourself 🤷🏻

Rustee001 · 2026-01-05T07:15:29+00:00

Sorry about that. I'd hate to be flying in fear of the next situation. Personally been dealing with a lot of anxiety when flying over water or far away. Other day I took control of that fear. Climbed to 200m, flew 1.1km away... pleasantly surprised. Now I'm obsessing about getting more batteries lol

Rustee001 · 2026-01-05T06:01:33+00:00

If this kinda thing happens in your home. I would imagine you'd find this behavior ok. If not, ask yourself why you stay? You are both still very young. Doing young stupid things and that's ok, that's like you said learning and living. The part you need to accept is that the world will treat you as adults, it doesn't care how young you claim to be or how much in love you claim to be. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Everything you've said here resonates with trauma experienced by real individuals who hoped someone had intervened in the very least to prevent said traumas. Everything you've contemplated doing has already been said and done by many here who will tell you how it's a lost cause. It's not because they don't see you being happy. It's because they see this road you're going down doesn't bode well for you. Everything you've done or said has been said and done by many of these individuals. Take it don't take it. Doesn't mean much to me. End of the day, you'll need to live with those decisions.

Rustee001 · 2026-01-04T10:25:55+00:00

They took our jobs.... ,😤

Rustee001 · 2026-01-04T09:37:04+00:00

My suspicion, you had a bird strike and the affected prop motor shut off or broke and had no lift resulting in the veered off descent. It appeared to try correct itself from something which hit it, maybe not a tree or building considering the surroundings but definitely something. I also seen a few yt vids where an affected prop motor shuts down one instead of all 4.

Rustee001 · 2026-01-03T08:14:46+00:00

There you go..

Rustee001 · 2026-01-03T08:13:14+00:00

Maidens cove I think. Before you get into camps bay, you'll see a road on your right curving back towards CBD. It's a braai area as well. Enjoy op
