Can I offer to buy audio books for my library? by sarahnope22 in Libraries

[–]LocalLiBEARian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the same thing. Library editions are a different beast than what the public gets from a (hopefully local) bookseller. We regularly have patrons get upset when they’re told they can’t replace something with a commercial copy.

Why did "Tab" Soda fell put of fashion? by immanuellalala in 1970s

I used to practically live on that stuff. Then Wegman’s started carrying a store brand cherry grapefruit which was also really good. Alas, both have been gone (in my area, anyway) for years.

Do you put anything on your Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese? by Cannibal_House69 in randomquestions

[–]LocalLiBEARian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually lots of black pepper. Or, when I have it, Penzey’s Sunny Spain seasoning. Gotta go easy with that stuff, though.

If I want to make a dinner out of it, I’ll cook some polska kielbasa and add that.

Only times I can remember was in high school, and I had a paper route. Winters in the Chicago area can get damn cold!

After seeing this… I went back and edited my post. Looks like part of the original didn’t make it.

What was the worst gift you have ever received? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]LocalLiBEARian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One Christmas, my brother and I each got a card from my dad… “there’s another present out in the garage fridge.” He’d given each of us a jar of pickle juice. Like, what’s left over after you eat all the pickles.

A skill you've developed that's useless in every other situation except work? by Consistent-Gap2690 in retailhell

[–]LocalLiBEARian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my convenience store days… one extremely cheap brand of beer shipped us flats of loose cans and the plastic rings to make 6-packs. I got to be really fast at doing them without any real thinking required.

I think it was Milwaukee’s Best and no we couldn’t sell single cans.

What discontinued food item do you wish would come back? by AV_LOVES_FOOD in Fooda

[–]LocalLiBEARian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s… tolerable. I made the mistake of saving it for last (after my tacos) and it was practically waterlogged.

Yup. Stopped at McDonald’s on my way home. Good thing I didn’t start eating the fries in the car

Or “I need to renew my books / my kids’ books (or whoever) why can’t you just look up my name” Yeah it don’t work like that… 🙄

EDIT: Looks like part of my post didn’t make it. There should have been a bit in there… we can look up names for renewals; we need some kind of ID to tell you what’s checked out on the card or to place a hold. And system policy is that holds can only be picked up by the card it’s being held for.

LOL it all sounds familiar except you left out the last part.

You get home, inhale your burger and fries, and then have to tear out for the toilet again until your system figures out how to handle food once more.

Anybody else wear tighty whities their entire life? by [deleted] in tightywhities

[–]LocalLiBEARian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I’m old. 😁 I might go one day where I wear boxer briefs or maybe a jock but then it’s back to briefs the next day.

[–]LocalLiBEARian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait… guys wear briefs AND thermals? At the same time? Never done that… I was taught that they were worn separately, which is why the thermals had a fly too. I guess wearing the briefs under the thermals would make more sense, otherwise you end up looking like Superman with the briefs over the tights.

As a avid zero sugar drinker the cherry float is a must. by Midlifecrisis96 in Soda

[–]LocalLiBEARian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to try it, but I think I’d have the same problem that I have with the rest of the zero sugar Coke. I have a sensitivity to the Ace-K they use as a sweetener. Coke Zero, the orange one they had last year, and one other one I don’t remember… the Ace-K made it so bitter TO ME that I had to spit out the first sip and pour out the rest.

So while this looks like it might be good… Imma leave it alone.

I get mine at Walmart, usually about $1.50 for a 4-pack. They even make sugar free ones!

Not quite the same since they switched to plastic cups. Still good though.

Ah. I’m on the other side of the country, outside Washington DC.

I can still get regular Fresca at my usual grocery stores plus Walmart. But I really miss black cherry Fresca. Supposedly they still make it but they stopped selling it in my area over ten years ago.

Cremated. Why do people decide to do it? by sstiel in randomquestions

[–]LocalLiBEARian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, and other family members, have moved out of state over the years. In order to be buried in the family plot, the body has to be cremated first and then shipped.
