MY OLD EBAY STOCK 2006: AN ARCHIVE

Back in the mid-noughties I was a full time Ebayer. Time was divided between finding stock at car boot sales and charity shops and auctions and also with the actual listing and selling online. Ebay was only just 6 years old in the UK back then and it was a lot of fun. I even enjoyed all the wrapping!

This was my stock back in October 2006. I must have sold it all as I don't have any of it now.

Have you sold a lot on Ebay?

SENSE 7, 8 AND 9

I did some autism training tonight. I was surprised to find out that there are not just 5 senses but 8!

The other three where completely new to me!

• Vestibular - sense of balance
• Proprioceptive - sensations from muscles and joints
• Interoception - sense of our internal organs eg. thirst, hunger

I wonder if these three senses become more important during space travel or maybe in the future with the colonisation of Mars?

Maybe these other senses will come into their own in a future humanity.

What do you think?

TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED

Owing to a enervating cocktail of longer work days and an unusually boiling heatwave here in the UK I'm a sluggish dullard at night at the mo.

As a result I may not respond to comments or emails as quick as I would like. I am slowly catching up.

Now where's that cold Corona!

ET: ANOTHER SERVING

Hello Woodsy

Further to ET., My wife loved the movie at first viewing back when it was released.

On our next wedding anniversary I served her breakfast in bed using this tray bought for the occasion. The tray has not been used since.

On the next visit to the UK after seeing the movie and before it was released there I took Reese's Pieces for my young cousins so they could experience them when seeing the film. 

At that time 1982, Reese's Pieces were not sold in the UK, before the movie they were barely known in the USA, Supposedly M&M's by Mars were to be used but Mars declined to promote the movie as a tie-in.

Stay well,
