Not cool, man... not cool.

Lol. Libras tend to be indecisive as well, so maybe you lean more toward the Libra side.

I'm actually in a fine mood... but I was suddenly struck by inspiration and I just had to share.

The problem with being a Libra, is that with the even temperament that allows you the ability to simply let things roll of your back, it also leaves traces of minor annoyance behind; like water trails on a duck’s back... and the minute traces begin to add up, they get heavier and heavier and eventually, you're sitting at the restaurant staring at your partner, rapt up in the hilarious and somewhat cruel story of the day's events with their coworker and you raise the spoon to your lips and the soup is cold; and not just tepid, like it sat on the sideboard a little too long; no, this is, they fo

Owning a business that opens at 10:00 doesn't fit into my sleep schedule. (I'm sure a lot of you own businesses that open, or require you to be in the office/on site even earlier; or maybe you work a job that has you up at all hours of the morning inconsistently... unless, of course, you're a morning person, in which case you probably enjoy yourself... ... ... the point is, I don't want to hear it. This thread isn't about you, this is my sob-show so pipe down.) If I had to list my top three favorite hobbies in life, the list would look something like this: -Sleeping -Reading -Eating (w

Monday Reminder: Britaini will be in 11:00~12:00 today for children, ages 4+ for story time and silly hats. Refreshments provided, free to you guys. *PLEASE NOTE* an adult must accompany said child/children...we are NOT babysitters, people . We hope to see you there!!!

*admiresyoursoapbox* I understand that a lot of parents have no other option; I'm not knocking them. But I do agree with what you said. And the potty training? Oh yeah; that was ridiculous! I was in class at the private school one day and a little on had to use the restroom. I let him go and a few minutes later I hear him calling for me. I go to the door and he's just sitting there and he says, "I'm finished." I said, "Good. Clean yourself up and come join the rest of the class." He says, "My mommy does it." I said, "Well that's fine but I'm not your mommy. Figure it out and when y

There is a difference between a controlled classroom environment (and yes, those do exist) and daycare. A controlled classroom environment runs smoothly, with very little mess and with very few sound violations. Daycare, on the other hand, involves quite a lot of screaming and poop. Now, I can only base my conclusions on my own personal experiences (and boy, howdy, do I have a few!), but I've collected stories from a few other people who've chosen that career path and while, technically that's all hearsay and would carry less weight than a sack of hot air expelled from (insert chosen

This makes 2 posts about bathrooms... and people say you can't have "high-brow" potty humor.

I find there are quite a few necessary evils in life. I could get political here, but I"m not going to. I want to highlight the evils I faced this morning; those being water and customers. Blah, blah, blah, I hear you; customers aren't evil; they're a blessing. I agree, but I feel there are special circumstances and I'm going to plead my case. Water: seemingly innocuous; quite healthy even... (The spokespeople for the water campaigns are such liars.) When you drink the recommended amount for the day, it makes you pee... a lot. Which, in and of itself, is not a bad thing; however,

DON'T KILL IT!!!!! Spiderdude isn't hurting anyone!!!!!!

I heart you too, hot mamma!

But you keep reading! That's okay; we

Yeah; so far my spiderdude hasn't said anything about seeing my bum. Then again, how would he even broach the subject. I mean, after this long with nothing having been said, it would be awkward to suddenly say he had a problem with it. Then I'd feel bad about showing my derriere to someone who obviously didn't want any part of it and slightly offended that he was so put off by it. It would be like an episode of Seinfeld gone topsy-turvy.

That's why it's a phobia: the fear doesn't have to be rational (which it totally isn't; I could squash the little dude(-ette) with a big, pointy shoe, but I won't because it might be one of the crazy radioactive, rambo spiders -like the one that bit Peter Parker- and four legs could appear on each side of my shoe as it lifts my foot off of its heaving muscular body, throws me backward to the floor, jumps on my chest and pierces my heart with it's fangs!), and neither does the solution. See... told ya'.

Sitting down, legs together. The key is to pretend you don't see spiderdude; it's a mutual respect kind of thing; you don't take a half pound of my flesh, I won't smash with you a hairdryer.

There's a spider in my bathroom (at home, people; my bathroom at home. I don't leave spiders hanging around in the store if I can help it). I'm pretty sure it's one of the scary ones; the kind that, if they choose to bite you, an alarmingly large parcel of flesh will rot away and slough off during the night while your dreaming about 3 foot bees trying to crawl out of a 2 centimeter hole in your left leg (does anybody else have dreams like that?)... And I'm kind of deathly afraid of spiders (because they have too many legs, too many eyes and it's really unnatural to carry hundreds of babies on

A love of literature starts early, and The Book Worm is here to encourage just that. Beginning June 4th (Monday) and continuing through summer, join us Monday mornings at 11:00 a.m. for Story Circle! Our Story Circle is geared toward children, ages 4 and up, and all that's required are a good pair of listening ears and wild imagination! Our June 4th selections are: The Blunder of the Rogues by Tim Egan "On the night we were first arrested, we were so cold our fingers hurt." Not the typical opening for a children's story, but catchy, nonetheles

Every Tuesday, The Book Worm does something truly fantastic; we offer you a vast selection of fiction in a myriad of genres and we then allow you to choose any genre from which to purchase as many titles as your budget (or... your children's college fund) will allow, all at a 2-for-1 discount. What I'm trying to say is: BOGO Fiction is the bomb and it's happening right now. On an unrelated note:I've decided that, in order to make a name for myself, I'm going to start ending every sentence in an upward inflection. It seems to work for all the Kardashian offspring; I mean, their fame and

I can't offer any advice Spunkywman, just wanted to say I wish you luck in dealing with this...and OW, bless your heart that sounds painful. ~RhondaW

Happy Monday Pccommers !!!!! Today, take an additional 25% off our New Age, Religion and Philosophy sections. Also, please remember that our Open House celebration is this Saturday . Here's the note from Britaini: So much has happened inside our indie book shoppe, The Book Worm Bookstore, in the last three months. New ownership, new paint, old furniture newly unearthed. But that's not all we want you to see. In the last 3 months, the staff and I have worked tirelessly to create a space that feels like home to our fellow readers. Those of us who go without sleep

Pets, Science and History are an additional 25% off today !!!! How would you like to read a book in this room? Below is a link to images of Neil Gaiman's personal library. I swear you would never see me again if I had a 'room' like this . Gaiman's Library

You and me BOTH, sister!!!

Just wanted to mention since a few of you awesome Pccommers stop by on Sundays. We will be closed this Sunday, because I figure book buying will not be in the forefront of most folk's minds, and I will probably end up sitting here all alone and by myself . Enjoy your day!!
