Yeah, this is a policy at the Lincoln Library, the public library of Springfield IL, NOT the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. I work here at the public library. And this is hilarious. Contact me for more info.

Mostly I think the main problem is going to be parents arguing with the librarians over the food.

This is not going to end well.

+1 and then some for the Send Bad beers back, Kate. Do it nicely, politely, and no bar is going to be upset. A good bar will be embarrassed and happily replace.

I deliver food. This conversation is SO CLOSE to the real problem it pains me.

At first I was going to say, “it’s not a big deal” and just pick it up from the door while holding back a % of the tip.

But that’s because I haven’t ordered delivery in a long time and I just realized that...yeah, I’m only doing this because I don’t want to get out of my sweatpants and my 72-degree apartment.

I don’t know what’s going on at HBO but, they either need to order more episodes or extend the running time to one hour. We are at the finale and the show definitely didn’t get to thoroughly explore and then close, the themes for this season. There are still so many loose ends that need tying up.

I’m one of those occasional drivers - I only turn the app on during my daily commute, and get 3-5 riders ($40-50) per week. I’ve never even come close to earning a bonus payout from either Lyft or Uber.

It’s not even messy. From the middle of the torso to the head, one quick slice. I ran a catering function that served 150 lobsters at one time- it takes like 3 seconds and there’s nothing comes out. It also prevents them from climbing out of the pot if the water is high :D 

This is so incredibly stupid.

Take a sharp knife and from the top quickly slice through the lobster’s head. It will die instantly and plop it in the pot.

Done.

Monique.. I am so damn sorry this happened to you. Lord knows I feel your pain. I remember telling my mother at a young age that the babysitter she had hired said she didn’t like me because of my skin tone (Can you guess who was darker?) only to hear her say ‘She wouldn’t say that!’ She not once checked into it. I…

I was in middle school and the first girl to get breasts. The boys would grab them at any opportunity. I tried sitting in the front of the classroom right at the teacher’s desk so she would see it and protect me.

First, thank you for sharing that. All the women in my family were raped, I was molested myself several times and know it’s hard to recall those memories.

I saw my mother raped in Brooklyn in the back of a store room by a security guard. I was 3 and he forced her into the store room. She wouldn’t let go of my hand. I…

I didn’t report in my 40's, when I was riding a crowded #2 train from 42nd street uptown. (New Yorkers know what I mean). We were packed in like sardines, and an OLD old old white man put his hands up in front of him and coincidentally palmed my breasts until the train got to 72nd St - the next stop - and I lurched…

If you want to understand why women don’t come forward, I implore you to watch our elected government officials question Christine Blasey Ford next week.

I hear you, I believe you, I’m with you.

I’m allergic to penicillin.

Exactly that, hard cheeses are too dense for mold to spread.

It’s my understanding that hard cheeses, like cheddar and jack, are too dense for the hyphae to penetrate very far, so cutting off an inch or so past the mold makes them safe. It’s only because bread is so soft and porous that it’s a problem.

Why would you cut it out? It’s penicillin.
