Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wanna read the adventures of the twin appraisers! They can join up with Mike Rowe and fight crime! With special guest appearances by the old guy in the wheelchair and his furniture moving minions.
I'm avoiding my library because I have a book I need to take back and it's way way overdue. It's a little paperback so I doubt there's a waiting list for it, but I'm still avoiding the library out of shame. I will find it or at least replace it at some point. Thankfully they max out the fine at $10 per item. Yes, I know this from experience, although from one dvd mistake when I returned one of my personal dvds instead of the library one. Oops! It's $.25/day for books, and $3/day for dvds at my branch.

Clearly!

Cash, my mom certainly thought it was the right answer for me. Considering how I've devoured books all my life, she was surprised no one had thought of it sooner.
I'm going to be in a research study on Tuesday for arthritis. The screener was so excited, "Oh, you qualify! We almost never get someone who can't afford the medication!"
I'm so happy I could make her day.

Hee!! The perky female interest can be the sports memorabilia appraiser (love her!), and the evil bad guy is the doll appraiser (he gives me the creeps for some reason, maybe because he never manages to crack a smile).
Also, I confess I am one of the Buffistas who can't be trusted with a library card. I know myself well enough to have realised (albeit it took a while) that it is just Not A Good Idea. Cheaper to buy the damn book in the first place, for me. I wish it were not so, but a lifetime of library fines has persuaded me that this is one of those things I'm not very good at.
Which sucks. I mean, when I was a kid/teenager I used to go to the library with a carrier bag tucked in my pocket. Biggest haul was 42 books, iirc. Which I returned in a mostly timely fashion - but as I got older, the promptness of the book-returning began to get, ah, less prompt. Yeah.
And then after a certain number of weeks it just gets very embarrassing, and my Run Away impulse kicks in.
So in the end I fled the country.
