Monday ...... oh goody .... I love Mondays, but then I love Tuesdays as well !! Monday and every day means a sojourn to the bank. Oh what a challenge that is... some folk have an hour's ride in the subway, others have to walk for miles every day, so when I "grits" my teeth, and think banking, I bear in mind all the other folk with their own daily grind. In Zim one needs to go to the bank on a daily basis as the powers that be limit ones cash drawing capabilities so strenuously that the day's drawings can possibly just buy one a loaf of bread !! Picture the scene ... first a telephone call ... now bear in mind HeeHoo, God Bless his Cotton Socks, has made provision for me to visit the Executive Service of the bank which means a comfy chair in which to queue, a cup of coffee and a smiling face, all in air conditioned comfort. Not so my poor countrymen who have actually been spending many nights sleeping on the pavement outside the banks in queues.... Picture my average morning call to the bank ... "Good morning" do you have cash today ? Oh good, you have cash I will pop along ... oh dear ... but you have no power ... oh well I shall call again later..... later Good morning do you have power yet ? Oh good, but what is that ? Your computers are offline ? Oh dear ... how troublesome .. oh well I shall call again later. later Good morning do you have power ? Oh good ... are you online yet ? Oh splendid .. I shall call around ... sorry what was that ? Oh (pregnant pause ) you have run out of cash ???? And so on and so forth, Monday to Saturday this continues as I grit my teeth and gnash them as well, BUT - I am not standing in a queue in the boiling hot sun, so I keep smiling. When one does hit the jackpot and one gets power, computers and cash all at the same time, the ambiance at the bank is so very pleasant. They have newspapers for one to read while one waits, smiling ladies offer coffee tea or juice (even champers at Christmas !!) Everyone who is anyone banks at my friendly platinum lined bank, and a jolly hour can be spent swopping war stories with the many friends who frequent the same bank as HeeHoo and I. The fuel problem is similarly fraught. "Good morning I have a coupon do you have fuel today?' Cash is out of the question, it is a coupon or forex, even if forex is illegal in Zimbabwe... Oh good thats just spiffing, I shall pop along, oh, what was that ? no power ?, oh golly gosh, I shall call again later. later Good morning do you have power yet ? Oh wonderful, thank you ZESA, I shall call by shortly, oh what was that ? You have diesel but not petrol ? Tut tut ..... "OK Kriel make a plan" .... Nothing daunted I hunt HeeHoo down and wrest the diesel car from him and rush off gleefully, only to find that in those precious few moments, the fuel has run out.......or I am proffering the incorrect coupon at the incorrect garage, or that the diesel has now run out and the petrol bowser has arrived and is disgorging petrol.... Now month-end has its own particular charm. Somehow or other, around the 24th of the month, alarm bells in my head tell me that it is time to pay the bills. Accounts are rarely sent out in Zimbabwe. I have not seen a ZESA (electricity ) account in months, I seldom see our rates, water and sewage accounts, I occasionally see the phone bills...... but only well after the due date has expired .... ZESA is by far the worst, one can phone seven numbers seventy times and it is pot luck if you find anyone at all, let alone anyone coherent enough to tell you how much you owe for the month. Taking a stab at calculating one's bill is fearsomely difficult with runaway inflation figures as we have. It could be ten dollars, it could be ten million dollars, best to try and call them to avoid discontinuation of a service. Mind you, we have so many power cuts one would probably not even know if ones service had been discontinued. Paying for the trash bins to be collected is still reflected on the municipal statements however the garbage is never collected and one has to trundle off to the dump carrying one's own fly ridden trash. Just as I designed my new range of Prison Garb, so I am working on a range of Trendy Trash Togs.. I can just see an outfit with pockets for a peg that can be secured firmly over the nose, and the headgear apparel encompasses one of those hats they wear in the Aussi outback, with the corks dangling around the brim to keep away the flies !! BUT ...... I still love Mondays, I also love Tuesdays cos it is the Drinking Club with the Bridge Problem and Wednesday means yet another glorious tussle with life in Zimbabwe. ++++++++++ 2) NOTICES URGENT MESSAGE FROM SPCA A NUMBER OF GOOD QUALITY, WELL LOOKED AFTER, LOVELY DOGS, HAVE BEEN FOUND AND ARE UNCLAIMED.

TOM'S COURAGE AND CHEERFULNESS IN ADVERSITY WERE MUCH ADMIRED BY ALL HIS COLLEAGUES AT THE ACOL CHEMICAL GROUP OF COMPANIES. +++++++++ TOM JONES, RESPECTED COLLEAGUE AND LONG STANDING FRIEND, PASSED AWAY 8/10/08.OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO SALLY, CRAIG, MEL AND FAMILY. FROM ALL AT BANCROFT NEIL & CO. Tom's funeral is at 10am at the Presbyterian Church 5 th ave / Jason Moyo on Tuesday 14th Oct. +++++ My name is Laurette Schmidt (nee Begemann) and I wanted to let you know that my Dad Xavier Begemann died peacefully last Saturday morning 27th September 2008 in Cape Town after a relatively short illness and battle with cancer. I am in the USA right now so am very far removed and dont have all the details but my brother Wade who lives in Johannesburg SA was with him during his last days and could provide more information. We grew up in Bradfield Bulawayo and attended school at Hillside Junior School and then Wade at Gifford High and me at Townsend High I know that my Dad was a very active figure in sports all his life, in Bulawayo mainly cricket & soccer, he worked on the Rhodesian Railways most of his life before moving to SA and was known and loved by many people so thought it would be great if you could mention him in your next publication in your condolences section. He was 78 years old. We have not decided what to do with his ashes yet and this is going to be my second question. We did not have a funeral for him and are planning a "celebration of Life" for him on 24th of this month, not sure of the specific details yet. My mother Lynnette Begemann (nee Fincham) passed away in Bulawayo in 1980 and her ashes were put into one of the Walls at the Garden of Remembrance, along with my Dad's second wife Marie van Vuuren. I am more interested in what the situation is at this garden, is it still there or has it suffered neglect or damage during all these turbulent years and if it would be possible to find out what would be involved with getting her ashes so that we might think about putting them with my Dad's. I was hoping that with your contacts etc. that you may be able to shed some light on the situation and would be very grateful for any news you may be able to give me. I have a general idea of where the plaques for my Mom and Marie are but it was a very long time ago that I went there and only visited once, maybe 20 years ago. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give me. Your name is so familiar, I know that we have probably crossed paths in the past. All of you in Zim are always in my thoughts, I miss our heritage and it makes me so sad to think of how it was and how it is there now, the few of the real Rhodies that are still there sticking it out have my respect and admiration.

She told me one of her friends is always having abortions, against what she believes in but has no choice. When the foetus gets to be 2-3 months old she loses it. This happened several times over. The couple went to check with many doctors and at last one of The doctors examined the dead baby and found that the baby's body cells kept dying as the baby was growing in the womb until he/she could not survive.This was because her uterus was affected by Cellphone Radiation. The doctor told her she now has no chance to give birth to a healthy baby because the radiation has affected her uterus so that the major portion of the cells in her uterus have already died. This happened because she has been keeping her cellphone in her working jacket so that the phone rested against just the right spot of the uterus. She had been wearing it like this for a few years Please beware of this and take note if you don't want what has happened to this woman to happen to you. Dearest friends & family members, Please do not ignore cellphone radiation which will damage our health or body organs. Please put away your cellphone when ever you don't need it. Guys, Please do not keep your cellphone near the kidney position and pants pocket as this will damage your genital area and affect your ability to father a baby. The other doctor also advised another friend to keep her cellphone away from her new born baby to avoid radiation damage to the baby's brain cells. Do not let the baby or toddler play with the cellphone. This is because the small young baby or toddler is still very fragile and growing, so he/she is much more vulnerable to radiation damage. Please remember not to sleep with your cellphone or put it next to your bed. Keep any other electronic goods (such as tvs) which also give off radiation away from your bedroom to reduce risk. Further, do not think that if you switch off the TV there will be no radiation. Actually it is still around in your room. It is not advisable to have even a small digital alarm clock close to your head while sleeping. Please pass this on to your friends and family. I would rather be careful than regret not knowing +++
