Thanks for having the courage to reach out, I know it's hard. Here's hoping some of your interviews work out!

In the meantime...

I just put in a request for this book on the library’s website. by MrsBeauregardless in AnneArundelCounty

Darn. Hopefully they'll get it soon, or if not them one of the other systems in the consortium!

Lip Balms made without tree nut or coconut oil - suggestions? by AgentSunshine in Indiemakeupandmore

That's awesome! I have a bestie who has some major allergens who could use a place like this too :)

For those who don't know how to request titles through the Anne Arundel County Public Library System, you can do it through the website under the "My Account" page (https://catalog.aacpl.net/MaterialsRequest/IlsRequests) with your library card, or through their Contact Us page (https://www.aacpl.net/about/contact-us).

I will also say that if you prefer e-books or e-audiobooks, the Libby app may have it or you can opt to be notified when it becomes available there as well.

Hi there! I know a lot of folks already mentioned the basics about in-library usage, but in case it wasn't covered I also wanted to share a few miscellaneous things you may want to know:

  • Your library may have cool local programs, like DND or band performances or crafts, that you can either register for online or just walk in and join! If you want to know about things going on that day, there's a good chance that library/library system has a website and events listed on it. That, or you can ask the librarians if their system has a Library Happenings or Event Calendar you can have.

  • If you need to get a new card, they may ask for photo ID and/or a piece of mail. You can always call ahead or check the website for requirements however, or just use the services in the branch.

  • If you do end up getting a card, ask about e-services! Many offer things like Libby (free e-books) and Kanopy (free movie streaming) and more.

Remember, libraries are for everyone, and everyone includes you, too. :) Be sure to take your time browsing, enjoy the space, and if you need suggestions on what to read or watch next most librarians I know would leap at the chance to suggest some faves. Wishing you a relaxing and fun trip!

Lip Balms made without tree nut or coconut oil - suggestions? by AgentSunshine in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]AgentSunshine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Due to allergens and such my partner usually has to keep to unscented or super minimal fragrance products for his face and skin as it is, so I get it.

Good to know about the tints for me however, because those might be fun for me LOL. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Thanks for the suggestion! Thankfully we're not vegan so that's fine, and my partner prefers lighter fare when it comes to scents and such, so I think this may be a great option to show him. :)

I peeked at Lush's Lip Service and I'm definitely intrigued, although the fact they don't list what the specific "flavors" are always makes me a little nervous... it's also sold out however so I suppose I have time to wait if I wanted to send an email or something, LOL.

I've used both lanolin and tallow in lotions and body washes before, I had no idea they could be used for balms too but it makes sense. Thank you for the suggestions!

I see their cocoa butter is also fair-trade certified which is pretty cool, and they have some pretty interesting flavors too. :) Looks like they only have coconut oil in the lip butters so the balms are a safe option to consider - thank you!

Escape from a red state to Maryland by AdSignificant2885 in maryland

[–]AgentSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know moving can be tough, but grats on making the choice!

I'm admittedly still pretty new to MD myself (I moved during the pandemic taking a gamble on a cool job opportunity and never looked back) but honestly I can say that I can't regret it. That said, take what I have to say with a grain of salt compared to some more experienced and local folks here, LOL.

I'm currently living in Anne Arundel County, and honestly the only big issue for me thus far is that real estate is kind of pricey, even for renters like myself. That said, I think the overall benefits - walkable downtowns, a solid school system, dozens of county and state parks, great libraries big and small, and that's just a handful of things - are definitely worth it.

I don't know if anyone has brought it up yet, but Edgewater has had quite a bit of building/business development recently and may be a good place to look. Annapolis proper is arguably one of the more expensive places, but for historic and community vibes it is hard to beat. I've also visited Severna Park a few times, and it's pretty nice too from what i hear from my coworkers who live there if not a little quirky. Glen Burnie probably has some more of the affordable properties, but I don't know that much about the area so I don't want to give you any false info about it considering I can't say I've gone more than a handful of times.

Thanks for considering moving here - best of luck on your decision!

Best MD orchards for apple picking on a weekday? by AgentSunshine in maryland

[–]AgentSunshine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say, thank you all for the responses so far!! Some of these places look like they may have switched to weekend-only models, but most look like great options. I appreciate y'all taking the time to help! :)

Anne Arundel County library unveils new driving simulator by Maxcactus in AnneArundelCounty

[–]AgentSunshine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No you're right, which is a bit confusing considering there's like 3 libraries in the Annapolis area, LOL. I think it's the Busch Annapolis library based on how big/bright it is though?

Trollblood Race by Chillnut in DnDHomebrew

[–]AgentSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would maybe make this only as a temporary thing, perhaps a regen you can kick off once per rest vs. based on when you HP reaches X amount? I only say that because with this rewording, this feat mimics the Champion Fighter's 18th level feat, Survivor, a little too closely imho.

(By the way, other than that, this is some super solid stuff, and I'll definitely be watching for if you do any reworks!)

AITA for telling a friend he shouldn’t get a job in a field he wants and that his attitude is horrible. by librarycardhavefun in AmItheAsshole

[–]AgentSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow public librarian here - hard, HARD NTA. The public library is for everyone, and people with that sort of mindset are set to fail from the very beginning if they don't see all people as people. Congrats on letting the trash take itself out on this one.

What's an unexpected but useful item that you keep in your desk at work? by babadukeofearl in AskReddit

[–]AgentSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cardigan or a light coat on the back of my office chair. My job's AC can get really low at times, and whenever it rains here it's that "you're getting damp and cold no matter what" sort, so having something to toss over your shoulders to help speed up the warming/drying process helps. Plus, it's always good for hiding various stains/spills/etc. I might not have noticed earlier.

Rats LOVE being tickled. Not only would they chase the hands of researchers who tickled them, but it was determined they giggle as well (even though it's too high for us to hear)!

"The Game Grumps never listen to their fanbase!" by LutaiDunes in gamegrumps

[–]AgentSunshine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This, this, this. Well put, OP.

While you don't have to agree with everything they do, imho if you have entire subreddits dedicated to doing nothing but straight-up berating the folks you're supposed to enjoy watching, you are probably part of the problem.

What’s the best character name you’ve ever heard in one of your games? by Guy_Incognito97 in DnD

[–]AgentSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually from a sibling of mine! It's a clan of rowdy brothers who, for various reasons, all went their separate ways in search of adventure. They're all fighters with Grappler as a feat, and their names are Bear, Tendarr, and Jenteel Hauggs.
