So I kicked a possum today
It came out of the bushes when I opened the door to my apartment and tried to run in. I said “No Possum, you are an outside possum and not allowed” then it kept coming so I kicked it.

So I'm trying to make a library for my friends
What I need is a program that will let me scan bar codes of books and/or DVDs that we have and then put them into a spread sheet so we can see what books people have, and who has what checked out (since I lose more stuff this way).
