I have not been asked to search certain sites until I came to the E.A.C. library.  These people are too picky.  I've been told almost every day that I am here, that I am not allowed to be on a site.  At first it was when I was searching through myspace.  This lady tells me, "you are not allowed to do myspace here."  And the most recent one just happened a minute ago.  This other lady tells me, "you are not allowed to do facebook here."  I just hope that they...
