What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

past decisions

My county stopped charging late fees. I think it's ridiculous. Why tell me they're due on a certain date if I can keep them as long as I want with no incentive to return them?

I think it's mostly so they can still give the next patron an idea of when the title is expected back. My local branch not only removed late fees, but also raised the checkout limit to something wild like 18 pieces of media at a time

I actually asked about it, and they said it kind of works out - most people weren't paying late fees anyway, and when they looked into it, late fees tended to discourage the very people who might benefit most from library services. They still charge for totally lost or damaged items, and apparently those fees are more likely to get paid.

I guess time will tell if it holds up long term, but so far it's been about a year and the shelves are still packed.

We're allowed to check out 30 at a time. I live in the biggest county in the US and, even though it's big, once we're out of the city 80 miles west of here, the towns are far flung. Most of our books are "ordered" and shared with other towns. It all works out.

I was trying to imagine carrying 30 books home before I remembered normal edit - most people drive.

I was even considering a wagon

Sometimes if a few likes can really brighten up your day

Fuck hormones!

What the hell?
It was t-shirt and shorts weather last night and now I'm shivering and switching the heat on.

I’m craving latkes! So random.

 

[Kitty_so_frisky]

Oh, potato pancakes...

I love latkes (one thing I miss about living in NYC is the food), but boxtys are great too. (My main problem with making them is when we have mashed potatoes, there are rarely leftovers.)

Now I want some...

Well they were just mentioned on this page! Maybe you skimmed past it and that one word stuck? They do sound delicious

I had 3 ebooks out for about 1 day earlier this week. Had finished book 1 in the series and was considering rereading, and book 2 waiting list popped half a day later so I held onto the 1st in case I needed to refer back to any parts of it. Then a few days later, another wait listed book popped when I was a day away from finishing book 2. Having even more than 1 book at a time is unusual for me, unless I’m concurrently reading historical fiction and corresponding historical fact at the same time, which I often do.

As for carrying 30 books: many libraries loan ebooks via Libby or similar apps. Phones, tablets and Kindles or other ereaders are much lighter!

 

[SmokingFap]

Just because.

@Kitty_so_frisky has a pair of breasts that would drive a guy to distraction, I would have commented beside the appropriate thread but I might have commented too many times already

Heard “Father Figure” by George Michael today and thought of you. (You know who you are). Hope you’re doing well

So... do we still pinch on St. Patrick's if no green is worn? Cause that may have an effect on my outfit choice...

Most definitely pinch if there is no green

I’m going to cry if I wear my normal stoic colors and don’t get pinched

Yes and punch anyone wearing orange the twats. Kidding but not really.

Damnit.. then again, some pinches are okay...

That's a long ass drive for me to come pinch you...

Can I put them in a chokehold instead? My punches suck. But I can latch on and choke a dude out.

I’ll keep from crying knowing you’re pinching me in spirit
