How about every television commerical ever?
ION, I want one of these. For when I have a house with a pool, natch.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why does it need to inflate?

Because otherwise it wouldn't be...I have no idea. Maybe in case you wanted the screen in the pool?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it because they're books you bought for your courses, and you won't be needing them anymore? 'Cause that's understandable.
No, those I sold yesterday. This is mostly the result of culling out books I bought when I was younger and had less taste. I just...I've never gotten rid of so many books before.
A few books were in such terrible shape (and were such terrible books) that my only option was to throw them away. I threw away books. I'm a terrible person.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not good books in bad shape NEED to be thrown away to make room for good books which will delight you every time you see them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Dana, you saved others from the horrible books. You are a good person - the horrible people are the authors who foisted their crap on the public.

Coding and Sleeping
We took a box full of books to sell to a used book store, but my wife didn't want to sell them for the price we were offered so now we have a box full of books on the floor. I thought that was an odd decision, but then I'm much more of a "get rid of it" person that my wife.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did they go in the trash already, Dana? I've been known to leave books on the stoop or somewhere where people walking by might take them....I figure they might become trash, but maybe someone would take them.
Actually, thinking about getting rid of books, I am accumulating bad books myself, because my friends who work for publishers and whatnot give them to me. I should try to sell them, especially the hardcovers, I guess.

That's what Micole keeps telling me. But it's still kind of traumatic.
I also know that the used bookstore will not give me shit for these other books, which is kind of miffy-making. But I just need to let them go.

No one should read these books, even by accident.
