I have to pluck up the courage to admit to them that they have been living under some sort of lavatorial deception !! For many months now I have been the envy of the Nero Foundation, by virtue of the fact that my Lavatory / Bathroom/ P.K./ W.C./ Ladies Room / Comfort Station ... call it what you will, has always boasted nothing but the best, as far as loo rolls go !! Until recently when there has been absolutely nothing left in the stores !! I have always insisted upon "Thick and Absorbent Baby Soft 2 Ply Toilet tissue with (and I quote) "softness through micro pocket technology". Aaaah ... such decadence, such pampering, such softness .....and of course it had to feature the little tawny coloured doggies that suit my tawny colour scheme on my own personal comfort station !! And it is most pleasing on the eye as well as pleasing in other areas. However I began to notice that a great deal of sniggering ensued behind my back .... "fancy wasting money on such an unnecessary luxury" they would say in hushed voices, as they rushed off to have a last comfortable piddle before going home !! They have told me categorically, more than once, that they do not come to the weekly Friday meetings only for the convivial company, the excellent food, and the Cranial Titillation, but also because of the quality of the Loo Paper !! They told me, with tears in their eyes, that they are unable to afford the tawny cushion comfort tissue and have to settle for the local recycled equivalent .... Well... Girls ... I have some bad news for you... you have not saved a single cent !! While queuing for bread the other day, I stood and counted off, sheet by sheet, the exotic comfy roll.... It took quite a time, but time I was not short of. It was the subject of a great deal of curiosity and mirth from other queue jostlers ... but I shouldered on, in my smarting thirst for justice... There were a lot of helping hands too, as the Public W.C. was close by and the queue was exhaustive. However I kept a strict and accurate count, and giggled hysterically when I got to over 700 sheets on the Doggy Brand as opposed to 350 sheets on the local stuff !! Hee hee...spend thrift indeed !! For confirmation I rushed home trailing great swathes of puppy paper and threw it on the scale ... it weighed 120 grams...... I then weighed one of the local toilet tissue rolls, and I quote "strong soft and absorbent" one ply - 350 sheets per roll !!".... This little number weighed just 80 grams !! Now I must tell you a bit about the Nero Foundation, which was started as a venue, where a group of Bulawayo girls gather on Friday mornings, to discuss various "business" matters concerning the city !! Aptly named the Nero Foundation as we girls "bridge the gap" while Zimbabwe burns !! A kind of "Privy Council" for the Bulawayo Community I suppose ... Jealousy will get you nowhere Ladies, we all know that you need your "big cheque book" to purchase Tawny Coloured Baby Softs, but the last laugh is on you, as in fact I have proved that, I had the winning "hand" in this tissue issue..... ++++++++++++ +++++++++ + 2) WEEKLY WATER WATCH BULAWAYO: The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) has sent an SOS to the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) to provide water and bowsers to service residential and industrial areas amid worsening water shortages in the country's second largest city. Bulawayo is in the throes of a gripping water shortage, which have seen the city council introducing a stringent water-rationing regime including the industrial areas and the Central Business District (CBD). In an effort to alleviate the water shortages, the council introduced water bowsers to service areas facing critical shortages but the mitigatory efforts have disabled by lack of adequate bowsers and fuel shortages. In an interview, the executive Mayor, Japhet Ndabeni-Ncube confirmed that they had written to various stake-holders for their help in the provision of bowsers. "It's a understanding issue where we ask for bowsers from anywhere including the army though it is yet to respond to our request," said Ncube this morning. Residents in most of Bulawayo' high density suburbs are going for more than two weeks without water as the crisis that has seen council decommission three dams inside six months continues to worsen. The remaining two dams-Insiza and Inyankuni-are only supplying a mere 67 000 cubic meters a day against normal requirements of about 145 000 cubic meters. Bulawayo experienced a similar crisis last year where council recorded a marked increase in cases of diarrhoea. But council has warned the situation would be more grave this year as the two remaining dams might dry up before the start of the rainy season- CAJ News ++++++++++++ +++++++++ + 3) NOTICES CHRISTIAN BROTHERS COLLEGE P.T.A.

Finding Peace in Stressful Times Day to day life - working to make an income, managing relationships and family life, and meeting one's own inner needs - can be stressful even in easy times. But in the times we live in with the economic hardships, the uncertainties of what will happen next and the day-to-day frustrations of getting the basics to keep home and work life running puts all of us under enormous stress. In stressful times, people often try to cope by drinking more, working more, becoming angry and depressed, playing out negative patterns in family life and relationships, and neglecting their inner needs. These often lead to illness, unhappiness and decisions that have negative consequences for work performance, for family relationships, and for ourselves; further adding to the cycle of stress. In these times, it is important to be able to see and think clearly, know what to involve ourselves in and what not to, be flexible and realistic, respond to stressful people and situations in appropriate ways, and also manage one's own needs and find ways to relax and enjoy what life offers. The courses below, which will be taught by Clive Holmes during September 2007, help us to cope with the demands, uncertainties and losses in our lives and find greater peace and happiness. 1. Emotional Intelligence and Awareness 2. Restoring our Inner Balance 3. Understanding Death and Dying Clive lives in Scotland and holds a degree in Philosophy. He has been teaching courses in the UK and Europe for the last seventeen years. He runs a range of courses targeted at the public, the business community, teachers, school children and health workers. He has recently been approached by the National Health Service to train staff in concepts of emotional intelligence and awareness. His speciality is teaching awareness as a means of enhancing well-being. Please feel free to pass the information in this programme to anyone whom you think may be interested.

And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do; Hope you don't mind me asking, Please bless my computer too. Now I know that it's unusual To Bless a motherboard, But listen just a second While I explain it to you, Lord. You see, that little metal box Holds more than odds and ends; Inside those small compartments Rest so many of my friends. I know so much about them By the kindness that they give, And this little scrap of metal Takes me in to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you. We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew. Please take an extra minute From your duties up above, To bless those in my address book That's filled with so much love. Wherever else this prayer may reach To each and every friend, Bless each e-mail inbox And each person who hits "send". When you update your Heavenly list On your own Great CD-ROM, Bless everyone who says this prayer Sent up to GOD.com
