Secrets from Mom

Tell us something your mom doesn't/didn't know. We all have secrets from mom, right? 

Did you share with mom your first kiss or keep it to yourself?

Of course, there's some things we never share with mom, eh? 

And the parties we all went to when we were supposed to be having a sleep over or baby sitting...

Mysterious 'vampire-slaying kit' including pistol and knife up for auction.

A "vampire-slaying kit"containing a pocket sized pistol and a 19th century copy of 

the New Testament is going under the hammer.

The Gothic-looking container worth between £2000-£3000,also comes packed with 

pliers,rosary and a bottle of sharks teeth.

Also in the metal-bound box is an ivory-lined wolf carrying rosary beads, as well as 

a blue phial with mysterious contents and a silver-bladed pocket knife.

And inside the lid is an oval enamel painting that depicts the resurrection of 

Jesus Christ.

There's no record of the box's origin,but the 1842 copy of the New Testament within 

does bear the inscription of an Isabella Swarbrick.

The current owner from the West Midlands,who wishes to remain anonymous,said 

they did not know much about it's history.

"I have had it in my own collection for three years now and bought it at an antiques 

fair,"they said.

"I loved the look of the Gothic box,and when I opened it,I just had to have it. I thought 

it was so interesting-a great conversation piece."

Charles Hanson,owner of the Derbyshire-based Hansons Actioneers,the firm selling the 

box,said people are fascinated by stories of vampires.

"They have been part of popular culture for more than 200 years.

"The publication of John Polidori's The Vampyre in 1819 had a major impact and that 

was followed by Bram Stoker's 1897 classic Dracula."

 He added: "However,a belief in vampires and strange superstitions goes back even further 

and persist to this day.

"The task of killing a vampire was extremely serious and historical accounts suggested the 

need for particular methods and tools.

"Items of religious significance,such as crucifixes and Bibles,were said to repel these monsters

hence the strong presence in the kit we have found."

Shep Makes an Overdue Apology to dERp...

20200707 Shep as Author

Some months ago I incorrectly called dERp out.  I stated that her original Expect Resistance account had been deleted by disqus for posting revenge porn of a popular disqus commenter.  While it is true that dERp's original account was used to post this revenge porn, the result of that act was disqus' nuking of the Political Rhetoric Busters channel.

***
For reasons unknown it did not lead to the removal of dERp's original account.
***
Let me begin by stating I'm sorry, and eager to correct my error.  I want to explain myself.
***

dERp brought it to my attention that this was not the reason her original Expect Resistance account was nuked.  I thought it strange that she did not mention why the account had actually been removed, so I consulted my notes.
***
The original Expect Resistance account was removed by disqus because it was used to link to You Tube death threats against my family and myself.  No one understands better than I do the need to be precise when documenting dERp's bad behaviour.  I apologize for confusing which felony ultimately led to the removal of dERp's original account.

Just so we are clear where the responsibility lays:
