"Make a plan" should become our national motto..... We went to a wedding the other day just outside of Bulawayo in which there were 80 members of the same family (excluding small children) all under the same Iversens tent !! And what's more most of them still live right here in Zimbabwe ! The children who were not present in the photo as they were having a ball out on the farm, swimming, climbing trees, playing cricket and rugby in the green pastures, as children are supposed to do..... The bride and groom and their retinue arrived in an ox wagon with a full span of sixteen trek oxen. It was a sight I will never forget. When I heard the herdsman crack his whip I knew unequivocally that I was a pioneer and that I was here to stay in the land where I was born, where my mother and grandmothers were born and where all my children were born. Farming is not a happy word in Zimbabwe, the few remaining farmers were all recently sent letters saying that they had to be off their farms in six weeks time. Only two out of 6000 white farmers have been offered 99 year leases but the terms of the lease are so ludicrous that they are laughable. Who knows how these courageous folk will face this next trial, but there were no serious faces at the wedding. Scores of the adult youngsters still live in Zimbabwe, they have turned their hand from farming to a variety of other enterprises (Remember our Motto ?) It was fun to see this vellie and khaki shorts brigade resplendent in elegant beige trousers, starched cream shirts and fine silk ties !! There was a lot of pulling and tugging at the neckline when the seven groomsmen stood in a proud line at the alter.... Those farming folk sure know how to have a good time, and in spite of the shortages in Zimbabwe, there were no shortages at all on those tables laden with a magnificent spread of wonderful food. Thank you Zimbabwe's Farmers for all you have done, for all you still do, and for all that you will always do for the people of Zimbabwe. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 NOTICES BULAWAYO COUNTRY CLUB NEW YEAR'S BASH Due to popular demand from the public, and following on from the cancellation of CBC's New Year's Dance, we are holding a huge bash in our Wednesday Club Bar and Veranda area on December 31 2006.

At 16:20 this afternoon Dad passed away peacefully in the Highway Hospice near Durban. It was his wish to be cremated and his ashes spread in the Zambezi Valley. Details of the Memorial Service and Wake will be circulated by this means as soon as Mom has finalised them. I wish to compile a small collection of stories about the old man (be they serious or humorous) and would appreciate any input form his mates. Thanks to every one of you for the all the kind wishes during the past 9 months, it was good to know that there was such a large support base rooting for Dad. Many thanks Steve reply to ++++++++++++ Geoff Atkinson died yesterday afternoon in Durban. Geoff was responsible for getting the work we all are doing off the ground. He was one of those amazing people that 'JUST DO IT!" No blathering around, just action. After the suicides of the 6 of our Pensioners almost 6 years ago, we launched our relief drive with a Reunion at the Fish Hoek Middle School, and he taught me so much about organising events. We had many a disaster but he just laughed it off (I am sure he secretly wanted to behead me often), but he just kept going with his clipboard and "Now Annie - focus!". It was very shortly after that he fell ill. He was an awesome worker, organiser and help to us all, and so beloved by so many. He was just always 'there' for us for advice or just practical stuff. A rare and wonderful friend. Wow, this is really a huge loss to us all. My deepest sympathies and love to Pat, Steve and family. Annie Bishop +++++++ COLEY - ROSEMARY, beloved wife of the late Peter Coley, sadly passed away last week.

E-MAILS; soap@netconnect.co.zw / scallywags@netconnect.co.zw December 2006 To all our friends and donors, S.O.A.P. (Supporting Old Age Pensioners) supplies groceries to approximately180 pensioners in Bulawayo, who live either in their own homes or at Coronation Cottages, Masonic Homes, Garden Park and Rhodes Jubilee Cottages by delivering a parcel on the 2nd Wednesday of each and every month throughout the year. We are an independent organisation, which has existed since early 2002 and are not in any way associated with any other charitable group, this includes S.O.A.P. Harare. All our work is purely voluntary and no deductions are made from any donation. Many pensioners often do not receive enough money to buy even one loaf of bread a month showing what hardships pensioners face today. For the month of December our outgoings are in the region of Z$8,000,000 (EIGHT MILLION) which is donated in either cash or goods, naturally this expenditure increases every month. As many people will know, S.O.A.P this year organised its own very successful fundraiser at Whitestone School on the 29th of October. Latterly there have been several other fund-raising events where people have assumed that funds raised have been given to S.O.A.P. this has not been the case. Confusion seems to exist, with many people automatically expecting us to be the recipient of the many worthwhile fundraisers that are held in Bulawayo under the general heading of helping the elderly. In the past month there have been fundraisers at a restaurant and also a sports club where many people understood that money was to be donated to S.O.A.P. although we received nothing. Also we hear that parcels of foodstuffs have been collected in South Africa for the elderly in Bulawayo and once again it has been thought that ‘our’ pensioners were the beneficiaries although again we have received nothing. With cases like these is it any wonder that it is believed that we receive much more help than we actually do? Should anyone be in doubt of how to contact S.O.A.P. please would they use the details at the heading of this letter to avoid SOAP being confused with any other organisation? Also please note that we have not operated from Clark Road since early 2005. Should you wish to help any of the other very worthwhile charities or help groups operating in Bulawayo at the moment may we suggest that you contact The Bulawayo Help Network, which is a referral centre that puts pensioners in touch with other forms of help. They are open Monday to Friday mornings at 57 Josia Tongogora Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues, ‘phone 65383 if you are unsure of where any donations need to be deposited they will be able to help. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of YOU who contribute for your continued help, without which SOAP would be unable to carry on helping those who have saved all their working lives for their retirement but to no avail. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Many thanks, Dave Gill and Louise Campbell +++++ Lots of folk are getting stopped by the Police and charged for driving through an 'AMBER' traffic light! The schedule of deposit fines does state that driving through an amber light is an offence! However, it also states that ' if the vehicle is within 20m of the lights when it changes to amber, and the vehicle cannot safely be stopped then it can proceed'! If you get stopped and you feel that you were in the right, then do challenge them and take it to court. Better still if you have a witness who can testify how far you were from the light and what speed you were doing when it changed so much the better!! You are innocent until proven guilty!

For booking phone 67904 ++++++++ This product is called Faxtastic powerfax and is a fax to email service provider. It allows people to send a fax directly to an email address by using a 0866 number. This product can be used by Zimbabweans to receive faxes from South Africa directly to their email inbox free of charge. The sender pays for the fax; the recipient receives it free of charge. How this works is, the email address (e.g. Bulawayo@zimbabwe.co.zw) is assigned a fax to email number ( e.g. 0866xxxxxxx).This number is now the fax to email number and it now receives faxes and forwards them directly to your email inbox, in a TIFF picture attachment. A TIFF program link is provided free of charge for those who can’t view the TIFF file. It can also be used for receipt of international faxes (being senders outside of South Africa) but this requires a monthly rental fee of R20. You can also send faxes from your email program to fax machines but this is charged for and the applicable charges are in accordance with international dialling. You can get more details and register for this product at the following address:- www.faxtastic.powerfax.co.za If you only have email facilities and cannot access this website, you can send an email to the following email address, requesting your free signup and you will get signup notification via email. faxtasticsa@gmail.com The advantages of this product are as follows:- - The server can receive up to 30 faxes simultaneously, ensuring that your line is never busy and that you receive ALL of your important documentation. (How annoying is it when you phone a fax line and get the engaged tone?). - It saves you paper and ink costs. You can now view your fax on your screen and print only the necessary faxes instead of all faxes being printed upon receipt of them. (How often do you receive a fax that you don't want, yet you are paying for the call, the ink and the paper? Now you can receive unwanted faxes and not pay a cent for them and simply hit the delete button!) - If you are in a large business environment, each person can receive their own personal fax to email number FOR FREE, allowing them to receive faxes to their personal address, making their documents confidential. (How often do people see faxes that they shouldn't see?). - The quality of the fax that comes out on your screen is much better than the quality of the fax that comes out on fax paper. (Lines across your fax paper and missing text, doesn't that just drive you around the bend? And how about those paper jams? Not anymore with this product.) - Having your faxes arrive at your email address gives you mobility of receiving your faxes. (Remember waiting by the fax machine for your fax to arrive? This is longer necessary as you can check your emails anywhere! A bigger bonus for those of us that can receive emails on our cell phones as now we can get a fax on our cell via email, how’s that?) - The number that is assigned to your email address is your number for life. It is not like the numbers issued to you with an internet service provider whereby your number is surrendered upon termination or cancellation of their service. (Having to change stationery and letterhead details for a lost fax to email number is costly; this no longer has to be the case.) - You can sign up for this fax to email number at no cost and you can enroll as many numbers as you want at no cost. Faxes can be received on this number free of charge, so long as it is from a South African number. - Received faxes are stored for duration of 5 days on the server, giving you adequate time to retrieve them. For further details, visit www.faxtastic.powerfax.co.za or send and email to faxtasticsa@gmail.com requesting more information. ++++++++ Be Made Whole Are you sick of being sick or tired of being tired?

You may choose the sex if you reply quickly as there are only two and the other "owners -to-be" don't mind what sex they have. They are black with a small amount of brown/white markings around the face and on the feet, and VERY cute. It will grow up to be a small dog with short hair and they are fabulous with children.

Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things. --Eric Butterworth Inspiration of the Day: 47-year old Jim Fruchterman, a 2006 MacArthur "Genius" is a rocket scientist turned social entrepreneur. His idea: Take existing technology and transform it into products for those with disabilities or other disadvantages. Fructerman’s early work involved the production of a reading machine for the blind using optical character recognition. His non-profit, Benentech, created Bookshare.org -- the world’s largest online library of books (more than 30,000 in all) for people with disabilities; they’ve also developed gear to find land mines in war-torn areas and invented a better way for human rights organisations to store and document abuse investigations. Fruchterman’s own motivation? His initial feeling of being the only guy in Silicon Valley not trying to make a billion dollars, "I'd like to help people not be as lonely as I was the first few years," he says.

No plastic containers in microwave. 2. No plastic water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as frozen dinners, instant ramen noodles and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over! foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead. This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life! +++++++++++ If there is any responsibility in the cycle of life it must be that one generation owes to the next that strength by which it can come to face ultimate concerns in its own way. --Erik Homburger Erikson
