My husband is a voracious reader and loses stuff all the time. I wish I had a buck for every buck we've paid in library fees. I could probably buy a car. Ah, library fees.

Apparently they obtained much more money this way by people just leaving whatever they felt was appropriate for their books being late. With the money they bought new computers for the library! What would your donation have looked like if you hadnt had to pay the late fees? Believe me- in this crazy month of heightened moodiness we call holidays - we totally understand your not posting :) Is it writers block? And please tell- how did you escape the coffee shop without paying? At our local library they have “done away” with late fees and now have a donation jar right where you go to return your books.

I actually called my library from the parking lot of In 'N' Out last night to avoid yet MORE late fees, though I'm nowhere near the $80 mark, ha ha. Nice to see you! Yes, I feel for you.

I feel like you could say you lost the books and pay less than that! Those people are scam artists! Stupid library! Anyway, I'm glad you're back. $80 is so MUCH!

Alter-egos? They are EVERYWHERE around here. Some of us have more than one.

LOL. But I'm glad you are back...my days get boring without your blog to read. Seriously. I know, does that give you an idea of what a GREAT job I have? Not quite.

I understand your words and everything in between them- ranging from writing discontent from current reality to ridiculous library fees. I do have a proposed theory as to when library fees went up... It was when libraries decided to stop hiring people to work in the library and manage the card catalog. Now that computers are the "new thang" and one must have a BACHELORS DEGREE to work in a library, the public libraries realized they needed to increase profits. This was voted upon at the secret library convention. Proposals turned down included: -charging $40,000 annually per library card. - ceasing to buy new books and cd's proposing instead to make everything e-book and itunes. - renting larger libraries out to be erotic dance clubs at night. - Oh, my dear, i do understand… I understand your words and everything in between them- ranging from writing discontent from current reality to ridiculous library fees.

I can now fit into my prom dress again thank you. Maybe in the spring you could take a few days off so I could get ready for bathing suit season. Glad you're back!
