Unmunged email: /at/easypeasy.com "Impatience is the mother of misery." > Use tissue paper, not book pages. (...) If you follow the rule about "No Porn or Gambling" on the computers, then you won't even need the tissue paper for crying about your losses. Edmonton's central library had a coffee stand in the middle of it for a while. The "no talking" rule took a breather for orders, although I imajin the stand would've been there longer if they had come up with a system for pointing out orders. Today, a Second Cup is there, but they hav their own room. _______ <a href="http://www.mynumo.com/SherLok">BrewJay's Babble Bin</a> >> Use tissue paper, not book pages. >(...) > >If you follow the rule about "No Porn or Gambling" on the computers, >then you won't even need the tissue paper for crying about your losses.

I was thinking "use tissue paper, not book paper" at first, but I rejected it and failed to change the first part. "Use tissues, not book pages." Better.

I spend several hours per week in the library, writing. Unfortunately the local high school students feel it's a great place to gather and gab. -DD |
