It is true that shipping is more expensive than domestic (naturally); but most sellers place a disclaimer on every item regarding domestic vs. overseas shipping and thus avoid frustrating potential bidders. This is the best way to handle the situation ... win/win, sellers develop an int'l market and buyers who truly want the item will pay the price.

5Are You In The Antiques Trade & Separately - Ebay Question
by Celtic ini'm interested to hear whether any of you are in the antiques trade, and if so, specifically, within which sector?.
ourselves, the family business, we deal in antiquarian books, maps and prints, generally topographical english counties 1550-1860, although we do have a wider stock.
we do not deal in reproductions, only antiquarian stock.

Sirius D - thanks for the kind post.
While Celtic relates a harumph to the sound of mating whales, I define a harumph as the sound that accompanies a grumbly shuffle, perhaps a scrounch of bushy eyebrows and scruffy days stubble. Like a humpph only crankier.
awaiting Celtic's next installment before posting mine,

Girl Scout Cookies are the Work of the Devil
by Xena in.
seriously, they masquerade as angels of light, with their dark chocolate minty taste (my personal satan being the thin mint ones) but in reality they are little fiendish wafers of fat and carbohydrates waiting to attack the weak defences of your tastebuds so they can defile the temple of your flesh.
i think i need an exorcism....or another box of cookies *sigh*

I found this site in December. I am 44, left JWs when I was 21....and am still plagued to this day by the mark growing up in the JW cult left on me.
I know that doesn't mean this other poster is not a troll, but depending on what one experienced .... the stigma and impact may never go away.

well....i was wondering about the public response to my PM, but figgered what tha hey....better than no response a'tall
so yah life is large, like love, and painful to boot. but that's how you know you're still alive, I say. Being here, aware on the planet, is a kind of wounding and yet wounds heal, they may scab a bit, get picked at, heal some more....and at the end of it you usually have a mark. but those are also the reminders that you've lived.
and in between you get to see lovely gardens and crashing seas and breathtaking mountains and that one most beautiful rose...and war's ravages and the children's bloated bellies of government's greed...
you get to smell the salt air and cinammon bread and dog's breath and your lover's scent....and sewage stench and refineries belch and fear's sweat when as a little one you realized you broke a rule and were about to be caught.
you get to feel muscles kneaded and bums pinched and hearts pound...and joints ache and maybe cancer's kiss and the dagger of death to the one you loved most
you get to hear mozart's magic and django's chords and babies squeal and teenagers giggle and creeks gurgle and waves pound...and footsteps in the night headed to your door to smother the innocence of your youth
you get to taste oozing chocolate and chili's fire and gin's tang....and salty tears in the KH bathroom after you've been whupped yet again and the blood from your knuckle as you bite your own fist to keep from crying in the face of your nighttime marauder....
so life's a mixed bag...and the WTS brought us all a big helping of the uglies, along with life's other jokes on us....
so who the heck really knows who we are -why we be -where we head- we can know none of us are unscathed...and lean on each other, learn from each other, cry in our beers together, laugh with each other.....and await the next thrill or the next catastrophe.................

O&C...
Well, that's a little better. infinitesimally. but I'll take what I can get.
I thought you weren't "in" to foreplay....but I agree that Widmer Hefeweizen is quite tasty, heads above other American Hefeweizens.

by MegaDude iniraqi govt.
papers: saddam bribed chirac .
baghdad, iraq, jan. 28 (upi) -- documents from saddam hussein's oil ministry reveal he used oil to bribe top french officials into opposing the imminent u.s.-led invasion of iraq.. the oil ministry papers, described by the independent baghdad newspaper al-mada, are apparently authentic and will become the basis of an official investigation by the new iraqi governing council, the independent reported wednesday..

Latest reports confirm Saddam bribed a boatload of people, including Americans, Europeans, middle Eastern and more specifically, Iraqis.
This is neither a left nor right issue, it is an issue of lack of ethics and greed. These two unsavory characteristics know no racial, ethnic or national affiliation. Rather they can infiltrate any members of a population, zeroing in on individuals with little or no moral capacity.

The Soul & A Visit To The Opticians, Hmmmm ....
by Celtic innot long ago, a month or two back, i thought it was about time that i got my eyes tested, cos i wasn't believing what i was seeing.
(last bit, just an off the wall comment, no relationship to the actual sentence).
it was certainly an altogether interesting perspective that one picks up at the opticians.

So ... you start with the eyes being the mirror of the soul, but then you end with the light shining into your eyes....and no mention of what characteristics may have been revealed ... what elements of your soul were illuminated?
