Well...it's not exactly the same, as it's the digital collection, but my local library has a free service for audiobooks, videos, music, and ebooks.Wyldewode wrote:I think the public library should have a subscription program like Netflix. You pay a fee each month for the postage, and they send you out the movies or books, and when you turn something in they send out the next one.

Danlo, you can always do what I do now (in my head). . call her Owlie. Which for some reason makes me think of Harry Potter--in a good way!Auleliel wrote:A U L E L I E L. Or you could call me by the name I'm called off-line: Michelle. It's a little easier to spell.danlo wrote:The A person who's name I can't spell
By the way, Auleliel, Michelle is a pretty name. It's my best friend's middle name. . . but she spells it with one L.
We recently got the same thing (different name). What I was thinking about is the fact that I am 15th in a line of holds for Northanger Abbey. It would be nice if it just came to me, rather than having to get a phone call or letter, drive down to the library and get it. I know that doesn't seem horrible, but it takes time.Menolly wrote:Well...it's not exactly the same, as it's the digital collection, but my local library has a free service for audiobooks, videos, music, and ebooks.

I think Homer Simpson's "Makeup Gun" was the best invention I'd ever seen.
Homer: Now, this next one's for the ladies. How many times have you gals been late for a high-powered business meeting,only to realize you're not wearing make-up?
Marge: That's every woman's nightmare.
Homer: That's why I invented this revolutionary make-up gun.It's for the woman who only has four-fifths of a second to get ready. Close your eyes, Marge.
[Homer fires the make-up gun, which appears to be a shotgun with some containers of liquid attached,into Marge's face.After the cloud of dust vanishes, she ends up with way too much on]
Homer: Now you're ready for a night on the town. [holds up a mirror]
Marge: [gasps] Homer! You've got it set on "whore".
Homer: Okay, this time try to keep your nostrils closed.
[Homer points the gun at her, but she pushes it away from her face. A vaguely face-shaped blotch of make-up stains the wall]
Homer: Oh, look what you did. Now I have to go get my cold-cream gun.

I had an electronic Smith Corona that had double ribbons and auto-correct (would beep when you typed the incorrect letter, and you pushed a button and it automatically went back and corrected the letter for you). I eventually ditched it in favor of a computer, but I wrote several good research papers on it.
