Shir, that's crappy of the researcher and her husband. I hope you hear back from them soon. As for whether or not you can take out other books in the meantime, different libraries have different policies. Around here one of the more common policies is if the fine is under $10, then you can continue to check books out. But some places have the policy that all overdue books must be returned and all fines paid before you can check out more books.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Glad to hear that TCG is ok, but even minor car accidents can yield major inconveniences.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Maaaan....I am all sorts of worked up today. More Mosque BS on FB. I'm beginning to use the Hide button judiciously.
And one of the cats peed on my bra. Which I didn't notice til I got to work. Thankfully, I have an awesome co-worker who is lending me her shelf-bra tank top to wear.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ack. Glad TCG is okay, and I hate that he was in an accident.
Cindy, as always I appreciate your thoughtfulness and self-awareness.
I am with Laura in my frustration that we waste so much time and energy on things that "should" be clearcut and simple.
Matt, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I miss seeing your pixels.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That looks like a beautiful place to get married, sj. Congratilations!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Yikes! Glad TCG is okay!

Always Anti-fascist!
wrod. There was an excellent Special Comment about that yesterday(yes, I generally love them, but the historical metaphor was more spot-on this time.Wondering whether I should have shaved my legs, however, remains inappropriate.) And that whole issue is totally a kerfuffle. Too bad when the critics come up, Gibbs can't just say "Well, Charlie(George, or Brian) we've decided not to feed the energy creatures on this one. Next?)

Glad to hear that TGG is alright.
And congrats to Gris on getting married! (and ~mas and happy birthdays for everyone else in the past 2 months).
ION: I'm hiding in the computer farm, enjoying the air conditioning, thinking about when it won't be so hot so I'll be able to get out of here. It's almost 17:00. And yes - that hot).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I need a better link about the Muslim community center NOT opening on 9/11/11.
Well, it's a construction project in NYC. The only way they could possibly open it on 9/11/11 is if it were scheduled to open six months ago.
Dirty secret not posted elsewhere: Yeah, I actually think the folks that want to build the community center in lower Manhattan ought to say, "Oh man, this is ouchy. Never mind. We'll pick another spot." This is a moral judgment, not a legal one.
Trudy already responded with my own thoughts on this - it's not ouchy to the people living there, and I'd really love it if the rest of the country could go back to just pretending New York only exists in the movies.
It reminds me of the Simpson's ep where Barney and Homer and training to be astronauts and they're told "In a way, you're both winners. But in a more accurate way, Barney is the winner." In a way, 9/11 happened to all Americans. But in a more accurate way, 9/11 happened to the the Financial District and the Pentagon and the people who died on United 93.
I think I'll start a Facebook group protesting zoning laws in Kansaas. If NYC has to check in with Real America before we can develop our communities, it should damn well go the other way too.
