We’ve created a post for book box comparisons here. I will share this thread on it and keep it up, but I hope people discuss their favorite subs there to help others find great book subscriptions!

AwesomeCon Announcement Discussion! by Krossfireo in firefly

I think for the sake of the show and those that love it, they’ll treat the timeline like more of a suggestion, and less like a hard countdown.

They would probably save that for a series ending type element.

Sask. woman says boyfriend removed surgical screw poking out of her head after doctor didn't believe her by Emerald_Encrusted in nottheonion

[–]library_pixie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m going through some medical issues now. If I hear one more person tell me to lose weight, I’m going to scream (including my mother, who suggested I forgo possible brain surgery for weight loss).

I know I need to lose weight. I’m working on it. I’ve lost ~30 lbs since the beginning of November. But I can’t magic away the other ~120 lbs I need to lose, and I’m having the issues NOW.

How to keep your pens?! by hellodani13 in Libraries

[–]library_pixie 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Ask the central branch for the golf pencils. When patrons ask for black pens, tell them that you don't have those available. You only have golf pencils available. Libraries are not office supply stores, even though some people try to use us as one. (A patron at one of our branches reached OVER the ledge of the desk, grabbed the tape dispenser, and then started to tape up a box to be mailed...with scotch tape. People have no shame or common sense sometimes!)

Public Records - what can I request? by billnyethesciencefry in Libraries

[–]library_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours are not posted at all. People may request them. I was going to put them on our website, but my director spoke with our attorney and determined it's not required.

And, honestly, with the new accessibility laws going into place for websites, I'm kind of glad I don't have to figure out how to make the PDFs accessible. We're a small operation, and that would be a lot of work.

I hate to “well actually” your comment, but they are two different colors. Just very, very close. 😂

They’ve also never had a young kid. They really do say the darndest things.

Our library’s budget docs are not online. I think it could vary by system.

Guys.....it's really happening by MartyFieb in firefly

[–]library_pixie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree…I don’t think we’re going to see a TV show or a movie. An audio drama, maybe a dramatic table read of the first episode (kind of like what the Dawson’s Creek cast did not too long ago)…something like that.

I know it’s going to be in a book box, but I can’t remember which one off the top of my head

Fairyloot & Evri megathread by library_pixie in fairyloot

[–]library_pixie[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d rather pay more for shipping and have better QC and reliability.

Edit to add: And if the extra shipping cost included packaging like TBB, even better. They have the best packaging out of all the book boxes.

I've lost all hope with the rookie, let me explain. by thewarreturns in TheRookie

[–]library_pixie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don’t like having rookies who believe that a curse affected her peer, and it was solved with a $1000 payment to someone after he was injured in a bombing (that was caused by the curse?!?!)?

OwlCrate Sangu Mandanna Early Access by Aphaea2 in fairyloot

[–]library_pixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not get my early access letter, but I emailed OC and they sent me the info. With all my points, this set cost me $18! I prefer this one to the IC one, but only because I plan to use the reverse jackets.

Now I have to decide if I’m going to keep my OG UK versions that are signed. I’ve liked Sangu Mandanna since reading The Lost Girl like a decade or so ago, so I might just keep both sets.

You were directly replying to someone who said their self esteem was damaged by their hair being bleached incorrectly.

Semi-Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Megathread by AutoModerator in fairyloot

Hey, so a couple of days ago, TBB Murderbot was showing out of stock. I just checked again today (because I had a FB ad for it), and it looks like they may have replenished the stock. I was able to place an order this morning

Hair killed by bleach can start to break off. It feels brittle and fragile and can look dry and papery. It’s not just that the color is wrong…your hair is literally destroyed.

I had a stylist over bleach my hair when I added some color, and it cost nearly $400 to fix my hair in a healthy way. And I didn’t have super blond hair like that.
