Dear Rhiannon,

I am typing this in hush mode ( just in case Jesus is listening ) but I have on occasion bought some antique finds and flogged them on EBay.

Don't tell Barnardo's and yes I probably am going straight to hell. :-[

I wish I had the time to ebay more. So long as the charity shop knows what they are selling there's no problem - there's a limit on what such shops can charge even for the best stuff and so bargains are still to be had. I did once spot an Art Deco ornament in Oxfam for 99p that I knew was worth at least fifteen quid and I did point that out to the staff.

All this negativity about retirement is something which is quite foreign to me.  I retired in 2004, did part time contract work until 2009 and have been fully retired since then. The past decade ranks as one of the most fulfilling of my life.  Retirement has simply entailed a switch from working for a salary to working for no remuneration but in areas which I find both enjoyable and satisfying.  I find it difficult to imagine how I ever found time to work.  There are simply not enough hours in the day.

I retired in 2012 and have no regrets. Over the years of working I built up a stockpile of 'nothing' and now I'm slowly working my way through it  :)

Dear Sass,

Christmas, bah humbug!! did you know Jesus was not born on the 25th of December, apparently we stole that date from the pagans, also Christmas trees are pagan and yule logs, what else!! oh yes!! Easter eggs, pagan ::)

Actually, he was born the 7th month of the Hebrew calendar mid Sept to  mid Oct.  The date was not stolen from pagans. In fact the date was stolen by Pagans when it became the birth of Christ.
The winter solstice and pagan day was the 21st December, The Easter egg is the Jewish celebration for the new life represented by an egg. It was all part of the leaving to go into the wilderness and the passover. In fact the pagans copied a lot if you research you will see there were no set days for the 25th December till after Christ.
The Jews always went by their calendar.

Dear Sanity Clause,

I would like a gorgeous brunette who owns a pub for Christmas, yes I know I asked for that last year, did you deliver, no, socks again >:( >:(

Gonnagle.

You would not know what to do with a gorgeous brunette who owns her own pub. But you got to use the pub didn't you.
And sock always handy when you have cold feet, :)

Holiday... so anyone else feeling the same.
Might head off to Edinburgh in late November beginning of December for some ME time and a little Christmas shopping therapy with a few of the girls.
I am taking daughter for more bloods this morning and it certainly feels like Autumn now.
Started my Christmas shopping has anyone else. :D Hope all have a good day..

Sass, if you feel you need a holiday, you go for it: no-one is beholden to the board, and apart from perhaps a few apologies here and there, nobody owes anyone anything. It's a voluntary board.

You've a lot on your plate, and if the board is feeling more chore than joy, then take as long as you need.

HoHoHo

What...take a break and leave you with no one to guide you....
Might just do that when daughters feeling better.  :)

eBay is addictive.

My husband started collecting carving sets on eBay and we must have a hundred flippin sets gathering dust 😉

I sympathise! With mine it's seasonal decorations and clocks.

Christmas trees, Santa Clauses, Easter decorations, Hallowe'en witches on broomsticks etc., vie for position with clocks of all sorts.

All of them gathered on his weekly excursion to the car boot sale. :(

If you were any fuller of bullshit you would explode.

Stonehenge, which is set to the solstices (Winter and Summer) was built long before Christ! And what do Chritstians celebrate - Yule - Yule which is a pagan festival.

Easter - Pagan Ostara - from the same root as oestrogen a hormone dealing with fertility - eggs for Easter!

You can push your ideas that Christianity invented everything on tthe religious calendar until you are blue in the face! Paganism existed for more than 23,000 years before Christ!

This can be proven - the earliest religious artifact, the Venus of Willendorf, a fertility deity, has bveen dated to between 25,000 and 23,000 BCE.

No single artifact that PROVES the existence of your Christ exists!

The fact is that artifacts cannot prove what god or false god they belonged to because they cannot speak people assume but no proof. Whereas the facts are the bible shows how languages came into being and how all people have knowledge of the one God and the flood being a worldly belief in different nations.

Christ existed... In Chester the Roman Garrison based their had records of them crucifying Christ. Something you will never get to see. Just as the Nails, the shroud and the spear kept as a witness. People don't keep things like that if they are not real.

False gods do not predate the Hebrew Faith.

China and Hebrew literature at the top. Did you know the oldest religion which professed one God was actually Chinese. Nothing to do with paganism by the way.
Because paganism can be lumped under the one Baal.
It is the worship of nature in about every form, the male forces of course. But does not pre-date the one God faith system.

Sass,

What is your list supposed to show? What book is taken from?

Why does it not show Zoroastrianism, which is possibly the oldest (non-oriental if your statement is correct) monotheistic religion and the probable precurser of Judaism?

What has this to do with "language"?
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

You really are a joke!

Where did I say anything about the Venus belonging to any particular God, or, in this case, Goddess!

I merely stated, truthfully, that it is Pagan. A false God/dess only to you!

I didn't, my point is, whch you cannot stomach, is that it predates your Christian crock of shit by bloody long way!

More bollocks - Go back to the time of Henry VIII and the Christians Church had been selling artifacts like thise you quote for years.

The antiques trade has records of thousands of items kept as Holy Relics of Christ that have been proved to be nothing of the sort.

Not only are you full of shit - from this poost I would say you are one of the most gullible people I have ever had the misprtuner to come across - even taking into account the Flat earthers, Creationists, and those who believe that politicians tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

That is an atheist slant on the question, but I was, and am, asking for the Christian perspective. Not, of course, that I am likely to get it from JC -  I will probably get nothing more than a link to some stupid poking fun at the witch post so,ewhere.

One of these days I really must find time to follow one of the links just to find out what crap is at the end of the link!

Well how grown up of you to continue your nasty name calling. I suppose you learn that on your one line, how to be a witch, courses.
I notice the Celtic Connection uses magick not magic. I wonder why magic gets your cauldron aboilin matty.
