What gives you hope?

That situation was forced a bit on me, except the still earning a good salary bit. I also have a dream of building an uber automation / integration solution and I'm starting on it in April. Right now I'm building a fairly small system for a very lucrative market that will provide some nice passive income. From just 2 clients we can double our income and (technically) not be dependent on placing resources at clients anymore.

...maybe then you'll think of joining the team. ;)

Hehe but if I join your team then I will still be working for someone. :p
 
I don't like to have hope because every time I have hope for something it doesn't come true, so I tend to just float in state of hopelessness. It's easier than dealing with constant disappointment.
 
Seeing anyone help an animal in need and also my SO, he is very supportive and always manages to give me the courage to move on in life

I found this poor lost soul in my kitchen on Friday night then released it in a safe environment away from dogs and humans.

Does that count?

Yikes - do you offer snake removal services? Will surely give you a call being all professional about it. I might just go primal seeing a big snake like that or run for the hills. Whichever comes first.

Snouted, horned, beaked, Botox lipped - Won't influence the speed at which I run. Might just have to put your friend on speed dial. We have a conservation area across from our place and all my neighbors had some form of snake in their house before - I pray that mine do not get any. Had plenty of scorpions before - that is OK. I will put them back in the field. Snakes are a bit more intimidating to me. One of my neighbors had pet snakes and he got bitten by one - needed to be rushed to hospital and had to get a skin graft for his whole arm. Almost died. I could always go to him for assistance, but he no longer lives there.

Yea I used to keep snakes but semi venomous at most (ok I kept a boom slang when I was 16 but that does not count as I was a teen).

Now the only ones I come into contact with are at friends or when relocating them from my or my neighbors property.

My heart pumps every time.

Being young and ignorant was cool - you were so free. I used to catch snakes in a sheep kraal and all of them were harmless 'tabak rollertjies' according to my wisdom. Even took them to school. They were not super big like your Cobra - like 1/2 a meter tops. They were actually 'Skaap stekers' not sure about the English - they were actually venomous. Use to catch spiders and bugs and hid them under my bed for safety - especially if mom took out the Doom.(Only sometimes tasted them out of curiosity) Oh lol. So interesting that nothing happened to us (ignorant children) Now, I know about stuff like the Black Widow spider and I will just crap myself seeing any big spider.

You sound like my type of guy!

We really should start (or continue with) the metal thread... I believe it must be around the forum somewhere.
 
Some things that never seem to hit the news stands.


https://www.facebook.com/alivewithpossability/posts/969745223061242

A group of students at Tuks have started a group promoting peace across racial lines & religions. They congregate to promote peace by joining hands & singing in Zulu, Afrikaans & English.
The group was started to show that violence is not the answer & their numbers are already more now than the current political violent campus groups.
These kids are the future. They are our hope. Proving that good will always prevail & we are stronger together than divided.
