[QUOTE="Star*, post: 373431, member: 4964"] LIBRARY......it's not a 7 letter word.....I don't care HOW you add it up. Dude once - in his INFINITE wisdome pretended to take the book up to the depository and then stuffed it in his shirt. It was about bicycles. He was in sixth grade. I was so proud he had gotten a library card. It was a major accomplishment for both of us. One of the first things I got after my divorce. That stupid, little book cost me about $65.00, MY library card, and embarrassment like you can't imagine. YOU don't think librarians can't put a KIBOSH on you? A Voodoo hex....you don't think you will ever need to use the library and they won't be at the front counter LURCHING on their padded stools like VULTURES waiting for the lion to walk away from the dead carcas? RIGHT...... I went sometime last year when there was a recommended book out from here and applied for my card. When the book came in? I took it and sat in a chair....there in the library. Literally afraid to walk out with the danged thing. I finally left. I even called them 2 days before it was due to BEG PERMISSION for another week. Which I felt the VULTURE granted with beedy little eye slits and an evil voice even though I couldn't see her I felt her rustling her feathers in joyous overtones of "AH HA....CAUGHT YOU TRYING TO SKIP OUT AGAIN." Yeah - haven't used it since..........too worried I'll owe....and right now without a job? I can't afford a second mortgage on the house to pay for an overdue book. [/QUOTE]
