Newbie from South Africa
G' day (new) mates.
Greetings from the rugby capital of the world.
I became a single parent in my late 40' s (33 year-old schitzophrenic son). Started a small
joinery so as to keep an eye on him 24/7. Have somehow managed to survive for to past 15
years. Love EVERY minute of my working day...
Only discovered the internet a year ago, so please forgive my mistakes.
I' ll tackle just about anything...have the philosophy that if you can read you can do it.
Regards to all
