more. However, it

Don't give me that drivel. Just tell me what really happened.
Dribble comes out of babies mouths.
I guess the better question here is would you prefer to be thin or fit?
Just because a person is bone thin does not mean they are fit and dieting
alone will not get you fit. BTW, research has shown that just straight
dieting or medication doesn't necessarily cause a lot of weight loss.

One possible solution might be to put those items on reserve that

I did a big readings section for one of my graduate courses recently and

Inform the library that your class of 100 students will be using these
materials from the shelves and that you would appreciate their helping your
students locate the materials and otherwise accommodating such usage. Be sure
