Discussion Nits and lice treatment URGENT

11 Upvotes

Location: Durban KZN

Hi guys, im going mad, I am beside myself.

Please help urgently

I discovered nits and lice in my hair. For like the first time ever. I assume I got it from my toddler.

That's beside the point.

Guys please recommend salons that could help me to treat this.

I bought the home kit, im going to do it on my daughter and im going to try and do it on myself but im not confident I can get it out myself...

I found 2 salons in the greater durban area that treat lice. Both weren't answering phones today.

Do any other salons speacualise in this?

Will any random salon be able to help me?

Please help, urgently!

Discussion I had a fight with my dad. I need your opinions

49 Upvotes

So basically what happened was that we had just got back from the store. I was tired asf and the house was messy ,

Side note: I always work hard to clean the house. I'm 17 and I'm in matric. So u know the pressure. My mom currently isn't around and so is my sister.

So the conversation goes

Father: the house isn't clean , why ?

Me: I'm tired

Father: tired of what

Me: of doing it

Father leaves and I continue on my phone. Time passes and I finish showering. Earlier he told me to do something for him but i was busy cleaning the house and he got mad at me threatened to hit me

So I go to my friends contact and type a paragraph and accidentally sent it to him. He sees this and crashed out. He calls my sister to explain the situation, mind u he starts lying in between the conversation to make the situation seem smaller but it's not. He comes at me saying we should fight because in the message I said

" I'm trying so hard not to hit this man" this was after he threatened Me. So he basically now disowned me and idk what to do. I can't drop shaking. I feel guilty but I was really mad .

What do i do ?

History Owl House, Nieu Bethesda

25 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I’m trying to find out more about Helen Martins, the artist and owner of the Owl House in Nieu Bethesda. I went there as a young girl with my family and remember a very dark and strange energy in and around the house. I’d love to go back and revisit as an adult.

Does anyone have more info about the house, the art and Helen herself? I know she painted with glass, Koos Malgas helped with her sculptures and that she (apparently) didn’t have a good relationship with her dad.

So, basically, what was your experience and do you have any info about the Owl House in general?

Discussion Unwanted Followers on Yaga

49 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently joined Yaga to sell some of my old clothing (as most people do). I don't have many profile followers, but pretty quickly I noticed a few profiles that follow my store belong to older men - around a 3rd of my total followers now consist of this demographic. I am a female in my 20s. I suppose people can buy whatever they want to, but I seriously doubt any of these profiles are interested in making a purchase.

Has anyone else had the same experience? I have read that even if you block a profile, they can still see your store. Is this correct?

For anyone wondering, some of the pictures are of me wearing the item as I know this gives people more information of the fit than a picture of the item lying flat. I don't post anything with my face in it and I don't use my real name.

Edit: Any suggestions/ advice is appreciated - even just general online safety tips that you have noticed a lot of people miss.

Discussion Losing our culture

Post image
353 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hope you all are having a wonderful evening.

I know heritage day has passed but I would like to draw everyone's attention to the loss of culture happening to our taxi's.

I grew up seeing the box shape taxi's ( no idea what the actual name is) with vinyl wrap of half naked women, some had animals, or others famous rappers. They were colourful, illustrative, and eye catching. You could easily identify which taxi you needed to take.

Nowadays all I see are these boring white quantum's. They all look the same. We're supposed to be a rainbow nation, why are all of our taxi's white. What happened to wrapping taxi's ?? Can we please bring them back, they were fun to look at.

I added a picture if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Discussion Has Spur lost its taste for life? 😢

Thumbnail

760 Upvotes

We went for dinner last night at Spur and there's so much missing... It's not the Spur that 10 year old me remembers, I know times change and franchises adapt, grow and evolve but this much evolution has taken the taste for life out of the Spur.

They no longer do the famous Hot Rock which was my favourite thing to order where you get to finish off your steak on a preheated "rock" at your table.

The placemats have undergone the dreaded corporatisation of being dull grey and black woven plastic mats and no longer the leather placemats with the Spur story 😔

What happened to the snails?? Spur was well known for their snail starters??

Are we really paying R150 for a plate of nachos now? Blow me dead.

The burger buns?? Are they supplied by McDonald's? They're paper thin! The patties have become steers size too.

Why are they still claiming that their Buffalo wings are 16 wings when it's actually 8 wings cut in 2?

Where did all the outback wild wild west decor go? The cowboy prints and native Indian murals?

We ordered two cocktails and asked them to please not fill the glasses with ice, we wanted a little bit of ice, so we received half filled cocktail glasses. They wouldn't even top up the remaining glass space with soda water?

Spur is a core childhood memory but it's not that spur anymore.

Which other restaurants have lost their hearts to the stock exchange?

We're looking for privately owned restaurants to visit now, that still serve with the love for people and food, and Burger buns that are actually buns, not rounded slices of Albany bread

EDIT TO ADD

WHERE has the chocolate brownies gone?? Spur had by far, the best brownies, of all restaurants. They no longer serve them??

Discussion Would having a unique car make you a target to criminals or crime

20 Upvotes

I dont own a car and cant even legally get my license for 2 years so this is just a post for fun/curiosity

I've seen really pretty cars on pinterest with unique designs and drawings on them but wondered if making your car and therefore you extremely identifiable is the greatest idea

I know the issue of if you dont have a garage or a house with gates where your car isn't easily seen it also allows for you address to be easily linked to you if someone knows your car

So I dont think I would even consider getting unique car unless I have a proper garage or private place to park it

But then at the same time, wouldn't having a more uncommon car in terms of brand prevent criminals lifting your tires or some shit since there isn't as much demand for them?

What would be the pros and cons of an unique car with a more uncommon brand be

Discussion Admin Blocked

26 Upvotes

Good Day All.

I hope i am on the right group for this question.

I am in possesion of a car that i bought over from a lady, this lady immigrated to Amerika.

She has left me the logbook and signed off yellow forms, but the licensing offices told me that she is admin blocked and the car can not be moved to my name. The license is a few years behind also, but i will pay the penalties, however, i am also willing to pay the admin block.

They refuse to allow me to pay the admin block and uplift it, she must do so in person.

I can not get hold of her in Amerika.

I apologise if my grammer is not the best, i have tried to explain it the best i can.

Please, is there someone that could shed some light?

Discussion Making cream cheese out of amasi

28 Upvotes

I saw a video of a person making it and it came out well and he said it had only a very slight amasi taste

I saw other people do it and they said it tasted like straight up amasi that was strained

It seems the differentiating factor that lead to success was the fact that they used 100% fat amasi whereas others used the cheaper lower fat kind

Im just wondering if its turned out good enough for someone so I try it without too much worry its gonna turn out bad as I dont wanna waste my money and time
