library adventures

Teaching my 5th graders about different types of reference materials today and while I was leafing through the Old Farmers Almanac for weather information, I came upon three very detailed advertisements for erectile dysfunction remedies and this classified page where we can become penpals and have romance with Asian girls; ask Rev. Jackson to perform voodoo to remove Cross Conditions; have Leza reunite us with past lovers (only in Alabama and Oklahoma); and request Dr. Sal help with bad luck, court cases, and witchcraft. I like to provide a well-rounded education.
at least Sister Margaret is God's Helper, LOL! They all seem to specialize in love problems. You know, I wouldn't have thought to consult the Farmer's Almanac about that.

@margonaut See you learn something new every day. Apparently a lot of farmers and fishermen have love problems. On the page after this was an ad for “pink honey” — “pour it over your body and get anyone to do anything you want.” Only $7.98.

Hunh. Is this the same Farmer's Almanac my grandmother swore by? That she gave me a copy of? She would have been shocked!
