Goeiemore, Ek is n 47jarige man met blonde hare. Daar is geen bles haar gevalle in my ouers nie. Deesdae val my hare plek plek uit en dit lyk of ek op die ou end gaan bles word.Ons eet gesond,ek was my hare elke oggend en wonder of daar nie iets is wat ek kan drink of aansmeer wat vertraging van uitval hare sal bevoordeel nie. Baie dankie.
Hare wat plek plek uitval kan dui op 'n velinfeksie of immuun probleem - sien asb 'n dermatoloog sodat mens die oorsaak kan behandel voor dit erger word. Daily bus ride is a tonic,says novice passenger | George Municipality

Daily bus ride is a tonic,says novice passenger
Henriëtte Davenport, a carer at a frail care facility in Denneoord, took the call for George residents to use public transport to work seriously and has recently started taking the bus to work, "because it was the right thing to do". Just how much she would enjoy this daily venture, she had no idea before starting out.
"I have a car, but calculated that it would cost me a lot less to take a GO GEORGE bus to work from where I live in Bergsig," she says. "I make one transfer – on the same ticket – and therefore need to buy only one multi-journey ticket at R85 for a week's transport, while I previously had to pay at least R130 per week for fuel. And that does not even include wear and tear on my vehicle."
Henriëtte went straight to the GO GEORGE Info Kiosk at the George Transport Hub for information on how to use the bus. "The information officer, Meloney Frans, was so helpful and assisted me to plan my route and a suitable schedule to get to work on time, all from the handy pocket guide which I now carry with me. As it happens, the bus routes suit my needs perfectly, with stops close to my home and my work place. I went back to Meloneyfor a special thank you after my first day as a passenger - there was no stress, since I was told what to do and what to expect. And to tell you the truth, compared to driving to work on my own, I find the ride and the other passengers a real tonic! For those 30 minutes or so, I become part of a community. Sometimes, I just sit back and listen to them chirping away. It is good for my spirit."
Anyone needing help or information on how to use the GO GEORGE bus service, is welcome to visit the Info Kiosk at the Hub, or phone the GO GEORGE Call Centre on 0800 044 044.

Henriëtte Davenport, ’n versorger by ’n versorgingsoord in Denneoord, het die beroep op George-inwoners om openbare vervoer werk toe te gebruik ernstig opgeneem en onlangs begin bus ry werk toe, "want dit was die regte ding om te doen". Hoeveel genot sy uit dié busryery sou put, het sy nooit besef nie.
"Ek het ’n motor, maar ek het bereken dat dit my baie minder sal kos om ’n GO GEORGE-bus werk toe te neem van waar ek woon in Bergsig," sê sy. "ek klim een keer oor – met dieselfde kaartjie – en koop een multiritkaartjie teen R85 vir ’n week se vervoer, terwyl ek voorheen minstens R130 se brandstof moes ingooi per week. En dit sluit nie eers slytasie op my motor in nie."
Henriëtte is reguit na die GO GEORGE-inligtingskantooor by die George-vervoerkern(Hub) vir inligting oor hoe om die busdiens te gebruik. "Die inligtingsbeampte, Meloney Frans, was so behulpsaam en het my gehelp om my roete en skedule so te beplan dat ek betyds by die werk sal kom, alles met behulp van die handige sakgids wat ek nou by my dra. Gelukkig pas die busroetes my behoeftes perfek, met bushaltes naby my blyplek en my wrkplek. Ek is met ’n groot dankie terug na Meloney toe na my eerste dag as passasier – daar was geen stres nie, want sy het my voorberei op wat ek moet doen en wat om te verwag. En om die waarheid te sê, die rit en die ander passasiers kikker my regtig op! Vir daardie 30 minute of wat, vorm ek deel van ’n gemeenskap. Soms sit ek net rustig en luister na almal se praatjies. Dis goed vir my gees."
Onderskrif:Henriëtte Davenport op pad huis toe na ’n oggendskof. Sy neem die Denneoord-bus van die werk af en klim oor op die Loeriepark-roete by die vervoerkern. Meloney Frans is die inligtingsbeampte in die inligtingskiosk by die George-vervoerkern en het seker gemaak dat Henriëtte weet presies waar en wanneer om op die bus te klim, en hoe om oor te klim vir die tweede been van haar daaglikse rit werk toe.
