Speaking of which, I really should return Casi's CDs that I borrowed

In their cases.

No, but if you can't change the person (and you never can), change the circumstances. You can decline to lend your stuff to suck-ups, like CG, you can lock them away, burn a copy, or you can put them on MP3. It beats a fucked up CD.

xoB is correct - not the point.
The point is too many people don't have respect for another's belongings - maybe it's the idea of a more disposable lifestyle? -
"hey you have it, I want it, and if I lose, break, never return it well you can just get another,there are plenty more down at WallyWorld, no big deal"
With kids and teens you can almost (just almost) forgive them - we may have been the same way -
But when we're discussing adults who show no respect for another persons belongings, it drives me batshit - adults should know better.

I lent my 'Hollywood Babylon' books, and the fuck cut out pages.
I told him that I wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire.
Never talked to that asshole again.

Set his ass on fire and then tell him you won't spit on him!

That depends. Is it from AOL?

I don't think any of my CDs work anymore. We are lucky to have working DVDs. That probably tells you how good about this I am.

I do have that cool record player! And I have added Waylon Jennings and the Marshall Tucker band to my record collection in the past month. I always peruse the records when I go to the Goodwill. Of course, that means digging through multiple copies of things like Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass, but I can usually turn something up to enjoy. Unfortunately, the player is acting funny, lately. It seems like it won't spin fast enough, though I have it on the correct setting for 33s.

No matter how awesome the CD cases, if people won't put the CDs back, then.... (heavy sigh and shrug of shoulders)

Ironic that case is the one who can't re-case the CD/DVDs.
