RXA

50 days until Christmas.

Facebook allows you to post a ’status message’ that tells people what you are doing. Mine currently says that ‘Richard is wondering if it really is illegal to sell his son on eBay’.

One of my friends wrote me a message pointing me to the eBay terms and conditions.

“Humans, the human body, virtues or any human body parts are not permitted on eBay. Section 32 of the NSW Human Tissue Act expressly prohibits the trade in human tissue and this extends to skulls or skeletons even if the skulls or skeletons are to be used for medicinal or educational purposes. Items that contain human hair (such as lockets) as well as skulls and skeletons that are used for medical purposes may be listed on eBay.

eBay does not allow persons to offer or list human virtues such as their virginity or companionship on the Australian site. This extends to listings under which there is an offer for engagement in sexual activity on the receipt of payment or other financial advantage.”

Damn … what about Craigs List?

Matthew arrived last night (after I had driven 521 kms since Saturday).

So now I am experiencing a different kind of tired. I call it Matthew tired. My day has consisted of 746 requests most starting with “Mum! … I mean Dad!”.

I took him to see Surf’s Up today. Not a bad flick.

To those who have asked … Lucy’s dive trip is going well. I spoke to her Saturday night and she is having a great time. I’m looking forward to seeing her tomorrow night.
