GO ON, GIVE HER A KISS! Today many marriages are just for sleeping and waking up together, raising kids and ageing together until death arrives. This is not right at all. I call it the malfunctioning of family units. Marriage is supposed to be enjoyable and romantic. A lot of couples these days hardly kiss, and they only hug each other when they receive good news. The only time a husband gets to put food in his wife’s mouth is when she’s seriously ill and can’t feed herself. The only thing that makes a man touch his wife’s neck is when she has a fever. He will simply rub her and then wait for the next time she has a fever. And if you happen to see a couple sitting…

I FEEL SMOTHERED AND I’M WORRIED HE’S GOING TO HURT HIMSELF Q I have a friend I’ve known for seven years, most of which were at high school. He told me he liked me in the first few months of our friendship, but I never really thought much of it as the feeling wasn’t mutual and this has never changed. This only drove him to try harder to get me to like him and also sabotaging two of my romantic relationships – something I’ve forgiven him for but not forgotten. He’s admitted to having abandonment issues and not being able to make friends. We matriculated three years ago, and I send a text every now and then to…

AT THE BAR ■ A man walks into a bar and asks, “Do you serve women in this bar?” “No” replies the barman, “you have to bring your own” ■ One night after closing time a bar owner is clearing up when a ghostly dog floats in through the door. The bar owner is scared but manages to ask him what he wants. The phantom hound explains, “I’ve lost my tail and can’t rest until a kindly bar owner stitches it back on.” “Sorry”’ says the bar owner, “but we don’t re-tail spirits at this time of the night” WHAT WAS THAT? ■ Question: Did you hear about the schoolteacher who married a dairymaid? Answer: It didn’t last. They were like chalk and cheese. ■ Question: What do you get…

THE past few years of the little boy’s life have been tough. He was unable to walk, talk or breathe properly because of cysts the size of a grapefruit located in his face and his airway. But Alex Grabowski is one determined little kid – and his family have reason to rejoice now. ‘MOST PEOPLE ARE LOVELY BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME NASTY COMMENTS’ After undergoing multiple surgeries to remove parts of the cysts, the four-year-old from Somerset in England can take a few steps and say a few words. And to his mother, it’s balm for the soul and music to the ears. Little Alex was born with cystic hygroma - a fluid-filled sac that results from a blockage in the lymphatic system, most commonly located in the neck…

I’VE been a journalist for a long time, yet there are still so many stories hitting my inbox that shock me. In a way I’m glad because I don’t want to become numb to the things happening in the world, even if they are truly scary. One of the features in this week’s issue is such a story. It’s our advice article about children and their increased exposure to pornography. It was a huge eye-opener to read just how easily kids are hearing about sex and porn from their friends or, thanks to lockdown and more time spent on devices, discovering it accidentally, sometimes on the phones of adults around them. It’s unbelievably easy for young kids to stumble upon pornographic content without realising what they’re seeing. The internet has…

I want to thank every single healthcare worker in our country for their dedication to their patients during this coronavirus crisis. You have done an amazing job. BJ, EMAIL Prince Harry, you’ll do more good for mental health focusing on the good things that have happened in your past instead of spewing forth toxic bile. Do you really want people to remember you for this? You’re caught in a web of greed, anger and desire. Come and live among us, you’ll then be enlightened. SHARON KRITZINGER, EMAIL Oh dear! Where does “wimpy William” come from E Van Heerden (YOU Say, 13 May)? The only wimp in that family is Harry who lets his pushy wife lead him by the nose. CLARE, SMS I was cheated on in my first marriage.…

THE twins are well-known businessmen in their small town, recognised almost everywhere they go. But over the past five years their appearances began to change to such an extent people had to do a double-take to make sure it was them. The brothers had practically become shadows of their former selves – in the best kind of way. Between them, Martin and Marius Dreyer (41) have shed 123kg after decid ing enough was enough. They were tired of their big boeps and bulging butts – something had to be done. Martin and Marius aren’t only twins, they’re best friends and best friends often embark on challenges together. If they tackled things as a team, they decided, they’d double their chance of success. At his heaviest, Martin weighed a dangerous 192kg.…

AS FAR as daddy’s girls go, this kid is in a league of her own. She loves spending time with Daddy, makes sure he always has his special treats and is kept cosy and comfortable. Except in her case Daddy isn’t her father – he’s a 2,8m python that weighs 30kg and could crush her in a heartbeat. But 16-year-old Christon Kriel knows her stuff. Daddy is just one of the 51 reptiles she keeps at home in Bethlehem in the Free State – a collection of coldblooded creatures that includes 29 pythons and numerous chameleons, lizards and bearded dragons. Her collection started with a pair of leopard geckos called Emico and Kulula that live in a glass cage in her bedroom. Just like people, her pets all have their…

IT REALLY feels like my whole life has led me towards the field of skin health and, while I don’t like mentioning my age, I’ve got to say that being 47 has been surprisingly good. After having flaky skin for most of my life and a serious case of eczema, I now marvel at how baby soft my skin looks and feels. Good skin is achieved from the inside out and I feel the need to speak out about chemical intolerance as the scientific research is continually ignored by health practitioners and bloggers alike, so people continue to suffer needlessly with skin (and gut) symptoms that could be alleviated with a low-chemical diet. Following a nourishing, low-chemical diet gives your liver and gastrointestinal tract a much-needed break from chemical overload,…

IN SOUTH Africa, the average age at which men and women divorce is 45 and 41 respectively.

PASSENGER 23 ★★★★ By SEBASTIAN FITZEK Head of Zeus The title refers to the fact around 23 people disappear from cruise ships every year. Five years ago, undercover detective Martin Schwartz’s wife and son were two of them. Murder-suicide was the coroner’s verdict, but Martin never believed his wife would have killed herself and their son. Now, he’s received a call from an old lady who lives permanently aboard the same cruise ship they vanished from. It has happened again, she tells him. Eight weeks ago another mother and child disappeared, but now the child has turned up alive. Most disturbing of all: when the missing girl reappears, she’s carrying the teddy bear of Martin’s missing son. The old lady believes there may be a serial killer on board. Passenger…

HER fans called her La Divina – the divine – and Maria Callas seemed to heartily agree with this description of her. “I have been touched by the hand of God,” said the singer, who was hailed by her devotees as the greatest soprano. A new biography, drawing on her previously unpublished letters, makes exactly the opposite claim, however: based on all the suffering and betrayal she endured in her glittering but turbulent life, it might seem to some that Maria was cursed. She was regularly drugged by her violent lover, Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, so he could sexually abuse her; swindled by her husband and father; and blackmailed by a mother who tried to force her into prostitution. Maria the singer may have had the upper hand in…

Cystic hygroma is the medical term for abnormal growths that appear in a baby’s neck or head and grow substantially over time. Although the condition can develop after birth, it’s usually present while the fetus is developing in the womb. The condition can increase the chance of miscarriage. Cystic hygroma sacs, which usually form between the ninth and 16th week of pregnancy, are filled with fluid and caused by blockages in the lymphatic system - a network of organs and tissues that moves fluid around the body and transports white blood cells. Growths that form after birth generally become visible around the age of two. The cysts are usually soft, spongy lumps and can also form in the armpits and groin area. They vary in size - from as small…

JULIA’S BABY DIARY No 2 Congratulations are in order for the Kruger family with their second bundle of joy on the way. JULIA ANASTASOPOULOS (37) showed off her five-month belly bump when making the announcement on Instagram recently. “My husband Ari [Kruger] and I sort of laughed when we found out because we both kind of knew... so we were very excited” she tells YOU. The Suzelle DIY and Tali’s Baby Diary star says the news couldn’t have come at a better time because she’s ready to take a break and put her feet up. “It’s good to balance out the craziness of what we do. I think that this year is a good year to have another baby.” It’s a different ballgame with the second pregnancy, though, she says.…

Not too long ago, I had to deal with a medical aid issue because I had to undergo a procedure under anaesthetic. A medical device had to be imported from Norway to be surgically fitted into my body during this procedure. My stress levels were at an all-time high because the procedure and the device were both very expensive. However, an employee from the insurance company phoned me consistently throughout the entire process of the importing of the device and the approval. I really appreciated her assistance and support so I decided to email the co-founder of the company and share my story. He promptly forwarded my email to every employee in the company. The next time I heard the helpful employee’s voice, she was thanking me through her tears…

BEING born into a life of unimaginable privilege is something most of us can only dream of. Castles, palaces, more money than you can ever spend, staff waiting on you hand and foot, chauffeurs to drive you around … it’s the stuff of fairytales. But if Prince Harry (36) is anything to go by, it’s more misery than marvel. And we know this because he keeps telling us about it. In his pre-Meghan days, he seemed playful and fun, a prince who laughed easily and had a sense of lightness about him. But from what he’s been saying lately, that happy-go-lucky persona hid the true Harry – a man so haunted by the death of his mother and stifled by the callousness of royal life he was a messed-up shell…

VITAMIN C Scientists have demonstrated for more than a century that your skin literally falls apart if you don’t consume enough vitamin C. Eat papaya, cabbage and Brussels sprouts which contain plenty of this skin-saving vitamin. ZINC One of those magic minerals for wound repair and skin health and maintenance. Early-stage zinc deficiency can appear as atopic dermatitis. Research shows that skin lesions, dry and rough skin and delayed wound healing can occur due to zinc deficiency. Severe zinc deficiency can induce acne, blister-like dermatitis, nail changes, diarrhoea and hair loss. GLUTATHIONE It’s probably the closest thing to the fountain of youth as it helps to even out mottled skin pigmentation, reduces the risk of age-related diseases, reduces the appearance of age spots and calms skin inflammation (when combined with…

ONE: ONE PAN, ONE HOB, ONE MEAL ★★★ By ELENA SILCOCK Hamlyn There’s something magical about a recipe that requires you to do little more than bung a load of ingredients in a single pan and by a process of culinary alchemy a dish of deliciousness emerges at the other end. It’s cooking that lends itself to comfort food and with winter upon us that is just what’s called for. Silcock’s approach to food is she doesn’t want too much washing up, she doesn’t want to be stressed and she doesn’t want to use a whole raft of ingredients. She offers a list of storecupboard staples and tricks to make one-pan cooking easier – like grate garlic straight into the pan and don’t faff with peeling things. Then comes the…

ANCIENT EGYPT PART 2 OF 2 Social sciences FOR more than 3 000 years the Ancient Egyptian civilisation flourished on the banks of the Nile River in northeast Africa. But after Egypt was conquered – first by the Greeks, then the Romans and eventually the Arabs – Ancient Egyptian history with its treasures was systematically buried under layers of different cultures as well as the sands of the desert. Centuries later, archaeologists known as Egyptologists started uncovering the treasures and knowledge buried there, leading to an ongoing fascination with this great civilisation. → AFTERLIFE Some of the rulers of Ancient Egypt, known as pharaohs, had enormous monuments and tombs – pyramids – built for themselves. They believed that after the pharaoh died, he became Osiris, god of death. The new…

3 As a music lover, the ‘80s music had so much variety. From massive pop hits to rock ballads and even electro - what’s not to love about that? 2 The hair always stands out for me. People did not hold back when it came to ‘80s hairstyles, and the punks made a statement too. 1 The decade’s TV shows always prove that it was an iconic time because they’ve stayed with us. These days they’ll try to recreate the movie or do a spin-off from the shows, like MacGyver! 3 For the incredible music. My faves are Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart and Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To Do with It! 2 And then there was the fashion. Madonna in the ’80s was an absolute icon.…
