Gaming Store Suck

[greek_jester]

Throw away books? Only if they're worn out and coming apart and even then I usually find another copy of the same title to replace it with.

My name is DGoddessChardonnay and I have a problem . . .

I don't throw away books (except for the ones that started growing mould from a leak in the shed when we had just moved in - my step-dad has emphysema & can't be around mould).

I will admit to selling some, though. If I'm not willing to read it again a year or so after I've read it, then it gets sold for cash or credit at the book stall I go to. What? I've got to fund my book habit somehow now that I'm paying a mortgage.

It's VERY rare for me to throw away a book. It has to be badly damaged or moldy. Ones that I don't intend to read again or have no further use for are donated to my local library. Believe me, they love my wife. She donated 6 cases (paper box sized) of romance paperbacks. They were ecstatic.

And we don't have a problem. We just understand that we're part of the Tier 3 of book collectors.

Tier 1: Decoration - A few artfully placed coffee books designed to give the appearance of intellectualism. Good for a photo shoot and not much more.

Tier 2: Information - A well-rounded collection of books used both for entertainment and knowledge. Can be a combination of pulp and serious literature without fear of ridicule.

Tier 3: Insulation - Thicken the walls and cut the heating bills.

Would "Tier 4" be "the library doesn't feel like home because there are too few books"? If so, I'm somewhere around a Tier 5.

That's it. I want to go to Buenos Aires

So today, I went and visited my friend's local gaming/comic book store. To note, next door to the store is a salon that, well, a lot of husbands get dragged to.
Well, as I'm browsing through the paints, this guy comes up and pokes his head in the door. "Yall have wifi? Can I use it? Its locked and all."

Friend: "Yes....we have wifi, for our customers."

Guy: "Yeah well, I need the password so I can go back and buy some Magic cards online."

He really didn't want to buy Magic cards. He was coming up with an excuse to pretend to be a "customer," so he could surf whatever he wanted to surf.

Maybe its just me, but my first thought was he wanted it so he could look at porn while his wife/gf whoever got her hair done!

Exactly.

I refuse to characterize my love of books as an addiction. An addiction is a maladaptive behavior, and I am very well adjusted.

In other words, people who don't love books are the ones with the problem.

Ask Evil Empryss about the first time she helped me move.
