When is Easter this year? Every year it sneaks up on me and I end up buying the last of the Easter eggs at the shops. For my nieces and nephews that is, not myself.

The best time to buy Easter eggs is after Easter.

  The best chocolate buttercream Easter eggs I've ever had were made by Fannie Farmer.  :apondering:

Apparently it's April 16, not that far off.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I hate Easter. I just hate it
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

There are no Easterbunnies in the Netherlands b.t.w. There is a Hare taking the task of hiding eggs very seriously.

I hate Easter. I just hate it

Okay, I lose two days pay to celebrate a Judeo-Christian celebration. I am neither Jewish nor Christian, but all good. I would rather work but I literally can't. So I do not go to church. What do I do instead? I give an egg to my daughter. An egg. I remember Christ was on the cross holding an Easter Egg that the Easter bunny gave to him...

No, wait a moment....THAT is not the Judeo-Christian celebration we are celebrating. The Egg and the Bunny are remnants of a lost Pagan celebration which is not in any way part of the biblical mythology or narrative. It is lost in history what the Hell we are trying to celebrate. I trust vaguely that it is somehow a renewal thing based on the seasons that are in opposition to the ones we have in our Hemisphere.

Christianity adopted THIS Tradition as they did others like Valentines Day. Most of the various Saints are other religions Gods and worshipped figures that they "amalgamated". St Nicholaus? Part elf/part Winter Spirit/part Saint Nicolaus/Part 1930's Coca Cola Commercialised figure with red clothes and white hair and beard. hardly about a messiah being born.

Truth is that the dates of Jesus's death and birth were not even correct but were changes to accommodate these existing celebrations that they are celebrating.

Yet we take time off we do not want to take, We are not paid and have to buy crap based on a myth that we know is contrived and commercialised and that we don't believe in but that we pretend we both do believe and like. Its all a fat pile of crap.

Oh yes. Bah humbug

I have a green with red lettering, frillied up with holly, wearable button that reads:

Bah Humbug!

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
