Not saying it ain't so but.... I lived in SA in various places. Joburg, Durban, Mandini, and Capetown for over 20 years and was a smoker even before we emigrated there in 1981.
A can assure you that - especially among the Afrikaaners (white native South "efricans". - It was a slang term, for weed alongside dagga etc. And a "scaife" was slang for a smoke but for those in the know, it also meant a joint.
Another Afrikaans word I love is "Krag" - I like to apply that to weed too but never heard anyone else use it in that fashion.
"Krag" <-- thassa old rifle. Might be a connection with Boers.

One of my novels* is partially set in SA. I had a lot of help from a lady who worked in a casino down there with background stuff that only somebody who lived there would know.

*The honey on the cover is my Beautiful Scottish Witch. I am on the cover of The Cadet -- The Adventures of a New World Pioneer in the 17th Century.

Ain't she purdy?

Krag is an afrikaans worg meaning "power" but also strength, vigour, and related words.
As far as I know me and my afrikaaner buddy (now living in Vancouver Canada) are the only people who use it to refer to zol 😊

LATE EDIT ADD: I ain't advertising. PROOF: The e-book goes for a whopping 99 cents. Of which I get some pennies. But if you go to the URL, you can click on the book picture and read the first five chapters free-fer-nuffin. Kewl.

And that's where the book begins: In South Africa.

Hope you get better soon GW. By the way ..... Happy Anniversary. 37 years is a long time with the same person.

Thanks brother me too! 37 years is certainly the longest for me, with my first two lasting about 4.5 years each.

What about Ultra sound blasting?

They insert a camera up through your *****, through your bladder, and into the tubes from your kidneys to find the stone and then break it up mechanically so that the pieces will pass. They insert a stent so that the kidney drains afterwards, because it causes the tube to swell shut afterwards. They then remove the stent after the swelling goes down.

Im sick , Mother Fooker Got a flu shot 2 days ago and I was in the Office , but I hope it ie just the shot reaction.

Commiseration brother! Hope you feel better sooner than later!

I sure hope he gets well. That really upsets me if that’s the case where your friend and all of us that put trust buying and consuming medicine that helps us heel. When we purchase a product and the label with all information isn’t correct then that leads to someone getting sick or dying. I hope manufacturers that are false even to the smallest degree are shut down. This is our health. Again I hope your friend gets well. Take care

Thanks, I'll pass it on! He does seem to be getting better.

53F @ 90% RH, rain and wind at 8mph, predicted to reach 56F with good air quality.

Thank ya'll for all the good thoughts and commiserations. I haven't passed it yet, but have been kidney stone pain free since yesterday around noon, so I think it made it my bladder. Some pain in my right foot furniture locator that I barely remember causing because of focus elsewhere.

Weak as a kitten this morning, but was able to eat yesterday afternoon and have an appetite this morning.

More shootings and usual chicanery and we now have a public dumping issue to go along with the homeless dumping issue. Remember when Portland was considered one of the cleanest cities in the US?
 
Just tried to buy this on amazon but it wouldn't let me.
I'll try again later.
HA!!! You just made me spend 99c to buy my own book. One click. Tested. 🙃 :eek:

And you don't even haveta do that. Just click on the fargin book cover picture, and start turning pages. Save the 99c until you've read a few chapters.

I'll do anything to increase my income. Even buying my own books. Money rollin' in...
 
Flat feels cold out this morning. 36 fargin degrees out. One thing I know for sure is I simply can't take the cold. Never used to bother me but I think I will wait for the sun warm things up a bit before going out to feed the critters.

Just saw this....the newly designated terrorists in this country are Socker Mom's and parents attending school board meetings. No worries though our Attorney General has promised to have them all behind bars by night fall. Just pulled all border agents from our southern border to help round them up.
 
I'm so sick of this ********.
I though I had seen it all....FBI investigating parents concerned about their children's education. I am so glad my child graduated college in 2001. It was bad then but terrible now. We pay your fargin salary through our property taxes. Teach reading, writing and arithmetic not hate and how to burn our flag.
