Hell, that should be our new marketing campaign. "Libraries: Find Out Without Fucking Around."

Do you happen to know if they're open through tomorrow? I'd like to get over there, but it requires some planning from Marin.

Before my time, but one Christmas the cat lit itself on fire.

My grandma's cat had very few brain cells and liked to warm its belly over tealight candles. It didn't notice until one of the humans smelled smoke and screamed, at which point it ran under the couch. No house fire, but close. @_@

...okay, upon reading the recipe, I am less repulsed and more just confused. Y'all enjoy, I'll stick with my cranberries spiked with Amaretto. ;)

Horseradish cranberries was the original intent, but the post has exploded, so... ;)

... where's the dislike button o.O

Oh, there's also the New Year's Eve morning where we discovered that hard-boiled eggs explode in the microwave. Saved us some chopping for the salad.

Some of my family have never forgiven one uncle for the Thanksgiving he went rogue and put fennel in the cranberry sauce. Like, that's my mother's reference point for "bad idea" now. o.o

My retirement plan for years has been to open a pirate commune in Canada. Want in?

Panettone stuffing? What in the sugar-crusted insanity is that? Panettone is for French toast casserole the next day, if anything.

Had nothing to do with my degree in US Foreign Policy, of course, but I picked up Spanish and Russian and run storytimes in both.

Lifelong reader, to the point that we joke about my birth taking twelve hours because I wouldn't put down my book. Post-college, walked out of a library in San Jose with the epiphany of "*this* is where I want to be." Extra classes to get my GPA up, then grad school, and here I am.

I wish them (and you!) all the success, and enough success to share the good ideas all around. <3

Ooh, which nation?

Ooookay I think it's time to pause that line of conversation, thank you.

Only so helpful, but maybe you could 3d print one? There seem to be a decent number of models out there.

Private ownership of guns should be completely illegal. Crossbows can handle most of your hunting and can't be modified for mass murder (don't tell me if I'm wrong). De-arm the populace, de-arm the police, and make it a hell of a lot harder to cause death. Period.

Also, bring back swords.

Expired food bank donation soup? @_@

Can't spare the tomatoes with SNAP cutbacks. How about bricks?
