   Well, sure, but they don’t have to remove books that they never put on the shelves in the first place. The most subtle yet powerful form of banning is choosing only the books you want in the first place. Which, I hasten to point out, for a library does include best-sellers of all sorts.

   LOL I wouldn’t yell at a santa like that, but I think everybody should give their kid a wink and a nod about santa. I’ve seen kids too old believing too much that they should know better about, and I can only conclude their parents went overboard in “letting” them “have” this “magic of Christmas.” It’s enough fun when you’re in on the joke, and no shock waiting in the future. Congratulations to those of you who went through it without the shock, but I’m thinking of the others.

   Repeating the same phrase about everything is not cool.

   At least his memory trick worked fast for him. When you get my age, you remember things when you wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

   Dear Phoebe, what I like about it most is that it makes you feel that way.

    I used to often trim my fingernails by tearing them off with my other nails, one or more one day, then maybe a couple more a few days later… now I let them grow out and take a pair of clippers to them. I’ve been saving the clippings, partly just to see how they add up and partly with the idea of doing some sort of experiment someday. Anyway, I’ve never heard of a man (a real manly man) who didn’t do his own nails one way or another.
