    Is Lasik worth it?

    Yea kinda why I chose Rayban aviator frames but went rose gold, mainly because I spent a few weeks this year smelting 24k gold down to 9k gold although that was white gold (more silver than copper) :ROFL:

    Is Lasik worth it?

    I have a family member that helped me with the raybans so I go them with every coating on the lenses I wanted, I got them for R5k, would have cost me around R12-R14k from optometrist.

    Is Lasik worth it?

    Just to update, now have two pairs of glasses, my raybans for outdoors/recreation/driving and a pair with Hoya lenses that I use for work and gaming. Great to have a full spectrum of vision again, even if it cost me over R15k and I now have two pairs of glasses.

    Are we being priced out of new PC releases?

    I don't want to buy brand new AAA because it is such a high price then you have to hope it is a game and not a message board for some team's feelz or a rehash/remake/grab cash cause of nostalgia trap.

    One woman makes R75,000 per month by renting out back rooms in Soweto – but was rejected for a R1.5 million bank loan

    Since my reality shifted I am living in a granny flat in a backyard in a residential area. I only have to look after myself now so 2 rooms and a lounge are perfectly fine for my needs (bedroom, study, lounge). Anyway, the person that owns this property bought it with the intention of building...

    Provincial department spends R96 million on travel while schools struggle to get money

    I am curious as to how much they spend on student transport. My son was in a school close to the NW province border, the busses collect children from areas up to 50km away and then take them home every school day. It seems like an extreme waste of fuel and time to me. some of those kids have to...
