someone stole one from me...:

Odd how that's the fate of good books.

My family used to own a huge, baby blue Checker back in the '80s.

Unfortunately, the maintenance proved to be too costly, so we had to get rid of it.

:(

I don't loan books any more. If I'm sure I'm not going to read it again, I will sell it in a yardsale or donate it to the library.

I can't afford to replace it, now.

I knew someone else who owned one years ago, and he said the same thing: The maintenance and repairs were killing him. Too bad...

Hi, DC!
How was your weekend?
Did you get to rest at all?

(A change is as good as a rest, I hear...)

I know what you mean.

I loaned someone on my Lincoln-Douglas debate team-back in high school-my copy of Slouching Towards Gomorrah.

He wound up going to Harvard, and never returning the book.

I can't tell you how many books I've lent to my older brother, only to have him never return them.

"I can't tell you how many books I've lent to my older brother, only to have him never return them. "

Well that sounds like something you can give up for lent, then.

Bome people, I won't name, borrowed book after to book and never returned them. I made a trip to their house to reclaim some and discovered their entire library consisted of my books! They denied they were my books, argued me straight out of the house. Unbelievable. Obviously, I don't talk to them anymore, but they still have my books. They're Dems, too.

Another good reason to put book plates in it, or at the least get one of those library seals, and emboss your name in two places...where they would miss half the story if the pages were removed.

It's time to get UGLY about loaning books...

LOL.

Figures.

Live and learn, I guess.

The guy who borrowed my book in high school was also a liberal, although I don't think he kept it intentionally.

*rim shot*

Yeah, I stopped loaning my brother books after I lent him Claudius The God, which he subsequently gave to one of his friends.

I haven't seen it since.

You and I had discussed Middle Eastern music way back when.

Had a little buddy resurect it today, after 7 months.

His/her one and only post( since signing up on 2006,2/13) was to tell me to read the Koran.

Got any thoughts?

Yeah, that sounds familiar.

I think Freedumb and Darks had a run-in with that guy on another thread.

Apparently there's a troll who wants to be re-ZOTted.

Weekend was so-so. Didn't get nearly as much classwork done as I should have. Now I am way behind... again. Third week running. I just can't seem to keep it up to speed this quarter.
