Except librarians cull books all the time. A bad library is a library where old, outdated stuff sits on the shelf, cluttering things up and obscuring the good stuff.

Suburban Milwaukee? My sister’s graduation was the same, but there were a few acts of rebellion. At least one girl “accidentally” ordered a blue gown, and my sister switched caps with her best guy friend. And their public school graduation was at a church, ugh.

WTF?

How is this thread not overrun with Sam Heughan pics yet?

Yup, for Christmas grandma made matching vests for all of us girls in the ‘80s. The only time we’d ever wear them was to Christmas the next year

Oooh, I almost stopped at GLD to buy some of the Rehorst Barrel Reserve Gin today. But since I didn’t, it’s probably just gonna be my friend’s homebrew. Got a couple bottles left in the fridge.

Uh, ladies? I have never been to Maine, but I just got assigned to write a piece on earmuffs for the Maine Department of Tourism next week, so I’m gonna be scanning the comments for interesting tidbits. Tell me more!

I’m anti-death penalty, but this one gave me pause. My first reaction was “Good, let him fry.” But he doesn’t deserve to be a martyr. He deserves to be locked away to rot for the rest of his life. With bedbugs. And crappy food. Only cold water to wash his face...
