just about every day there’s a book returned with a grocery list stuck in it. sometimes the impromptu bookmark is something more exotic like an old airline ticket, a packet of carrot seeds, or a photograph. my god, the photos we’ve pulled out of books. usually it’s a grandkid. we’ve a drawer half-filled with random pics of kids. why are we saving them? even we don’t know.
anyway, this morning there was a list that fell out of a book and i had to copy it down because it’s probably the most random list i’ve seen so far this year. it reads as follows:
potassium
prilosec
sant. pads
mayo
cortizone 10
padlock
“no tresspassing signs”
blush-revlon (cream) rosy glow
i’m guessing it’s an ironic no tresspassing sign?

You guys should make a bulletin board of all the photos you get. That way someone might come in and stop and look and be all “Hey, that’s little Timmy! Wonder where they got that picture of him?” and you can just laugh.
we’ve thought about it, but then what if some crazy parent comes in all, “you’ve a picture of my child out in public where all the pedophiles and kidnappers could see it!” because, that would so happen.
I try to make sure I don’t leave a bookmark, because 9 times out of 10, I use one of my Gadsden Times business cards for a bookmark.
But I may totally start including random bits of paper for you guys to find.
Hey!
I’ve been looking all over for that list!
it’s okay ma, i picked up your sant. pads and mayo.
skknt!
and laura, if by “random bits of paper” you mean money, then by all means.
that is too funny. i am always paranoid i am going to leave something in my books. i double check to make sure i take out my nude photo bookmarks…
The sant. napkins, no tresspassing sign, and padlock seem to be items that go together.
“one of these things is not like the others…”
yesterday we had another packet of seeds fall out of a book. this time it was flowers.

Oh, and Jaimie, he said to tell you sorry for Sunday. He’ll try to be better behaved next time! :o)
