Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I don’t know if people in the 60s used bathrooms less, because O’Neill and it’s walls didn’t exist before 1984. Since then, there have been many updates and renovations, including adding bathrooms to the 1st floor. That had less to do with increasing bathroom breaks and more to do with making that space a study area (it had been a Gov’t Docs collection).
According to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, one meatless meal counts as a day of fasting. More Lenten questions and answers, including what counts as meat: http://bit.ly/bc-lent
How did you happen to imprison Kermit in a dorm, and why are you helicopter-parenting a grown muppet?
Depending on where you are, there are opportunities for catamaran tours, hiking, snorkeling, or exploring cities rich with history. As the island and its economy recovers from Hurricane Maria, the best thing to do is to visit locally owned shops and restaurants. Not only do you get a more authentic experience, but your dollars will go directly to the people who live on the island. Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet have great lists of things to do and places to see.
This article in The Heights explains the whole situation: bit.ly/BC-ugbc-feb-2020. More than that I don’t know.
There is a sharpener at the Office Supply area, located at the 3rd floor Circulation Desk.
I had a nice chat with those in the know about our resident rodents. Basically, O’Neill is open 24/5, is very well-used, and allows snacks. Under these circumstances, mice are going to feel encouraged. Facillities is aware of the issue and does what it can. There are certainly ghosts on the 4th, though – I found 51 results in just the Ghosts in Literature subject heading…
IDK, but if it hadn’t happened there never would have been different lyrics to the melody of “God Save the Queen,” and you’d be eating fish and chips for tea rather than pizza for dinner. At any rate, you’re 245 years late; that alternative timeline is in the trash can (not the dustbin).
Me too! They were a birthday present from one of my helpers.
Your choice: a) I have a very small typewriter operated by preternaturally smart mice or b) my assistants use a template in Microsoft Word: bit.ly/print-postit
Sanders’s platorm aligns pretty closely with social democracies in many northern European countries, like Denmark & Sweden. Ask around among BC students with ties to those locales to see what they think. Here’s a brief summary of his positions on Politico: bit.ly/politico-sanders.
Do you mean the million dollar stairs? Some of my assistants have been nearly blown off their feet near the top, so I know what you mean. Prevailing wind direction, location of buildings, microclimates… these are all words that I hope make it sound like I know what I’m talking about… or maybe it’s just my Alzheimer’s flaring up.
This one is best left to the realm of daydream and fantasy; turning this into a reality – even if possible – could have disasterous effects under the University’s revised Consensual Relationship Policy: bit.ly/RelationshipPol

Even so, still not ok. Learning to have self control and not act on all your desires is part of adulting.
There are so many different kinds of love, from romantic love to the love you share when laughing with friends. I have no doubt you hold an incredibly special place in so many people’s hearts.
Best Chinese lesson of all: 我 爱 你 wǒ ài nǐ (I love you)
❤️ to see so much ❤️
All bods are hot! Dad bods, wall bods, you name it!
Well, hello there!
That is so kind of you! For some reason I’m not going to quibble about, they let Dry-Erase Boards like myself travel without a ticket. But I’m low on vacation time, so I’ll have to decline your sweet offer, and I’ll be hanging around during break.
Start by putting them on an information diet. The fewer details they have about what’s going on in your life, the fewer opportunities they will have to grill you for more info. Decide what topics are “safe” (won’t lead to nosiness) and stick to those when you talk to your roommates. If they’re that intent on violating your privacy, though, you may want to think about living somewhere else next year.
You don’t need to say or do anything other than continuing to be a supportive friend. It’s curious the woman in question doesn’t want to acknowledge dating your friend, but sometimes people don’t want to go public with these things right away; to protect the new relationship and to treasure it for a while without outside commentary/input.
Obama is keeping his counsel on his lack of endorsements in the Democratic primary, and given that he hasn’t been shy about endorsing candidacies in the past (bit.ly/obama-endorsements), that’s… unusual. And perhaps significant. Who will win? There are too many variables in play even for seasoned poll-watchers like FiveThirtyEight to make predictions. It’s a very consequential election, and with so many unknowns, it’s no wonder people are having a hard time maintaining civility.
