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.

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.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Mostly lurking...
The answer for buffistas is to marry a librarian.
Clearly!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
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.

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.
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).

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The answer for buffistas is to marry a librarian.
Or become one!!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I hate the homeless... ness problem which plagues our city. I just had to call security on a dude sleeping out by our street marquee. I hope the day gets better from here.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
My parents lived in Inverness for several years right after they retired.
Fred Pete, Inverness is the same county I live in! I'm glad to hear someone was able to get out of here. Some days I wonder if that is possible.
Yea! Good grade for vw, Much migraine ~ma for you, too.
Tropical Storm Fay has knocked the power out here for a few hours. We'll see how long it will last. The news just announced that round 2 is on its way. The rain has been off and on since yesterday and the wind is pretty intense. It could be much worse, though. Frances in 04 brought much worse weather.
Copious amounts of ~ma to my fellow Florida buffistas.
