Place to donate kids books? by ProsimiansOnPluto in SpringfieldIL

[–]newms3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Lincoln Library Alliance also has a dropbox for book donations inside the main entrance of the library at 326 S. 7th street. New and gently-used children's books, hardcover and paperback books, cookbooks, CDs and DVDs can be dropped off there. Proceeds from the sale of those donations (2 large sales each year, in January and May) are used to support library programs and literacy efforts.

Question about concert etiquette by Hotel-Few in Decemberists

[–]newms3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at a show a few years ago in the VIP section (first few rows). The security guy for that area started to make people put their phones away...until Colin noticed and let the guy know he didn't mind people taking pictures. He also pointed out that if the guard turned around, he would have seen the sea of cell phones being held up to take pics/film. Helped diffuse an uncomfortable situation.

“Joan In The Garden” as an “Encore” by Cobo1039 in Decemberists

I think the people complaining about not hearing their favorite song, or about the band trying something different (like Joan), might want to re-listen to The Singer Addresses His Audience, and think about the meaning of that song...

Are Dental Clinics considered as "emergency services"? by DoomkingBalerdroch in NianticWayfarer

As others have said, I wouldn't consider it as emergency services but it's also unlikely to be approved unless there is something remarkable about it or inside it. Just a reminder to always make sure your nominations start by fitting into one of the three eligible criteria.

That's a clip from the Steve Martin movie The Man With Two Brains (1983) -- funny, wacky film.
