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.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
Which for some reason makes me think of Harry Potter--in a good way! 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.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.
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. Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:57 pm

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.

A method of easily determining that someone is a minor.

A typewriter with a "Delete" button.

Uh, I was fairly sure they made those. I seem to remember typewriters with two ribbons of ink: One black and one corrective.Auleliel wrote:A typewriter with a "Delete" button.

Really? I wish mine had that.

There's like this little lever you can pull or something and it changes to the corrective ribbon, and you press the key and it moves backwards and goes over the space with white stuff.Auleliel wrote:Really? I wish mine had that.

Cool. Mine is definitely not that fancy.
Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 7:51 pm
This was a pretty old typewriter, but I guess it would be considered fancy. Hit up eBay. They might have one like it up for sale.

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.

Both of my typewriters are single-ribbon, and the ribbons are starting to wear through...

Typewriters are soooo very unwelcome. Holy shit they sucked.

I certainly like my computer better. But I have an antique Underwood that I use sometimes in my art.
