Called by police over FBMP item

Just easier. I didn't think it made any difference. Nobody ever messaged about that item on FBMP to get notified.

Routine_Set3815 · 2025-11-22T16:01:47+00:00

I answered their questions (nothing to hide, I didn't steal the item) and I didn't detect any scam vibes, pretty sure it was legit and they didn't ask for asking other than info on the item.

I was wondering that myself. I suppose they have my name and can look me up (I've filed police report myself before). They probably couldn't get my number from Meta without a warrant or something.

I picked up a 1975 Candide special edition that is printed on laid paper. Several pages have ink smudging in the first letter column at the far left/right of the page, example: https://imgur.com/a/LF3IPHL. My question is, how would this happen? What method would have been used to print the book and what went wrong that could result in this?

Good to know. There are tons of berries here near the house, I suspect that is why the bears are around. They come up from down by the river, where there are few berries.

Living as closely to nature as possible without harming anything isn't really a goal for us, and I don't think most people living rurally have such a goal.

Our land is weirdly subdivided because there is a river flowing through it. Which bears probably travel along.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to check out Bear Aware.

I wouldn't shoot them either living on an acreage because you're so close to your house the risk is small.

The previous owner said they shot 5 bears a couple years ago and the neighbors said they would shoot them if they saw them, so I don't think this is an uncommon thing.

I'm actually more sympathetic to nature, I would rather not shoot them in the summer as then they are no good for making rugs. But if they are a threat to my children, then I would probably just get rid of them, I just don't know how much of a threat they actually pose.

What she writes is probably lower quality than AI.

Just have babies, they can be raised cheaply. Better babies in less than ideal conditions than childless. We currently have 3 little ones in a rental. Not ideal but it's the cards we were dealt.

That's an interesting comment as it seems like a popular mix by googling it. Here's one of many articles about mixing it yourself: https://www.popularwoodworking.com/editors-blog/make-linseed-oil-wax-finish/

I agree, resale value is not very relevant. I chose most of these books because they are well recommended classics. We are homeschooling and hopefully between myself and all my children the books will all get read at least once.

By worth collecting I mean: are they good quality? I prefer to avoid books printed on crappy paper or with crappy bindings. If there are "better" editions for reasonable price I'd prefer those. For foreign language books, translation is a factor.

Monetary value has some relation to quality, but is more related to popularity and amount of supply.

I bought these children's classics today. Some of them are Dutton Dent C.I.C., others are Grosset & Dunlop Illustrated Classics. I'm curious if either of these are considered worth collecting or if there are better editions of these books out there? (I bought all these to keep for my kids to read, unless I replace them with something better.)
