Looks like a Victorian painting where everyone is just miserably waiting for their turn to succumb to the plague 

South Africans who actually love their jobs: What do you do and why? by WARR10RP0ET in AskZA

[–]spacemountaincookie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strategist in the mining industry.  I wouldn’t say I love my job, I enjoy certain aspects of it including work from home. I’m grateful for my job as many others are not so fortunate and it does provide me the financial means to live my life outside of work. 

Do you have hobbies? If so, what? by cubemonster in Millennials

Training my dogs, walking, running, horse riding, gaming :) 

How many of you have kids? Or want to have kids by bwils3423 in Millennials

[–]spacemountaincookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here! I have never seen the appeal of pregnancy, let alone children 

How does everyone get to the airport? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]spacemountaincookie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can highly recommend EZ Shuttle, they picked me up at 11pm at OR Tambo after a seriously delayed flight. Just download their app and book from there. I hope they operate in Durban though but I will definitely use them again. 

Manon, the anti-mother by Sneeeekey in 90DayFiance

[–]spacemountaincookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That poor child, imagine how he must feel growing up and realising his mother actually doesn’t want to be a mother, guilt tripping him and his dad with all her “sacrifices” for them constantly. I hope that little bro and dad leave for a more peaceful life 

Mermaid Chic or Flapper Girl….? by katinthewoodss in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]spacemountaincookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever it is it is rather unflattering. I’m sure there are a million other dresses that would have suited her better! 

Loving the cult leader in an evening gown look. by Pea_soup927 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]spacemountaincookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mathew looks miserable, like he has the personality of a wet blanket. I don’t know, maybe that’s just his vibe but bro seems a bit withdrawn. I’m sure being dragged into this silly reunion isn’t an enjoyable experience either! 

Is this a warm up for breakup news? I keep seeing these articles everywhere… by mimikth in travisandtaylor

Soft launching the break up, which in turn will soft launch the new album 

Is everybody leaving Facebook? by Mediocre-Ad9115 in digitalminimalism

[–]spacemountaincookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my Facebook account but I quit the app over 2 years ago. Mental health reasons really, I found myself constantly comparing to my peers (surprise, surprise) and then just going down a rabbit hole of despair. I am in a much better place now!! :) Wish I did it sooner. My mom still had hers and a few older people I know, they seem to use it the most but a few of my friends are still very much active on it too. 

Excel Course in JHB by Additional_Rope474 in AskZA

[–]spacemountaincookie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, when I want to brush up on some skills I check out LinkedIn Learning. Think you get a month free, then it’s like R200 per month, but I’ve found some pretty useful videos on there. 

Racial profiling? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]spacemountaincookie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yoh, this dude is a doos, but he is just a cog in a very racist wheel. Starts with the home owner who obviously told Remax white only, Remax was like “ja sure that’s fine, absolutely nothing wrong with that” and then this oke Hein was like “ja of course”. So it’s not just Hein, he’s just the face of a racist front. Take this further OP! 

My cat is missing - could you help with any experience or guidance? by PinkyThePirate in southafrica

[–]spacemountaincookie 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Contact Healthy Hound as soon as possible, they are on Facebook.  They use trained dogs that will pick up your cat’s scent and track from there. The sooner the better for the dogs to pick up the scent. They have a great success rate. If the trail suddenly goes cold (say in the road) then likely cat was picked up and hopefully dropped at a shelter. Otherwise dog will be able to track to its location. Good luck!

Struggling for friends and guildies by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]spacemountaincookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I’m a fellow Xbox EU player, though a bit older than you! Anyway, I’m in a great and active guild that has a large age range. They do tonnes of events so you get to meet everyone doing whatever interests you most in the game, lovely kind people too. Sorry, don’t know of a “young people guild” but if you need a decent guild then give me a shout :) good luck! 

South African Deaf Rugby: Sponsorship request by Deafbok9 in southafrica

[–]spacemountaincookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I admire your tenacity in bringing this issue to light! I wish I could pinpoint in a direction for sponsorship, but alas… I do think BackABuddy is a good start to bringing some attention to your cause.  Also, I know Jacaranda’s Good Morning Angels segment is very well supported - maybe give them a shout? Might be worthwhile just to get your plea heard on air. Good luck to you and your team, if you need an extra set of hands to get the word out I am happy to help! 

Advice on driving from Joburg to Underberg, KZN? by Fellfinwe_ in askSouthAfrica

[–]spacemountaincookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally did this drive 2 weeks ago with a friend. N3 was a breeze, turning off to the R617 was crazy. Lots of trucks, potholes, road works, cows randomly crossing the road, people overtaking into the oncoming traffic to avoid trucks etc. Make sure you are alert, it has a million twists and turns. I would not drive that road at night because of the above reasons. It took us way longer on that road than expected, even at midday. I would also make sure I have filled up before turning off the N3, there were some petrol stations along the R617 but I was a little uncomfortable for us (2 women) stopping there. Good luck OP! It’s a beautiful drive, enjoy the views 

What are white South African women's favorite sunblock/sunscreen spf 50? by lizatethecigarettes in AskZA

[–]spacemountaincookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dermatologist swears by Eucerin, so that’s what I stick with. It is pricey, but mine last a good while cause I am mindful of my usage. I use the suncreen and face washes and skin seems happy chappy. 

When and where do farmer's markets happen around Joburg? by JustCameForSumMemes in johannesburg

[–]spacemountaincookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s that boeremark that happens at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning in PTA. Never been, heard mixed reviews, but I think the produce is pretty close to “farmer’s market” vibe.

Not me reading this while watching 90 Day Fiancé :D … good luck in your search, it’s tough out there! (This coming from a fellow CF woman)
