You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one.
I hope some day you’ll join us
And Ted Kennedy can kiss my bum.
Not so good, but better than John’s masturbation fantasy of Socialism.
And the world will live as one—(one neck, with Glorious Leader’s fingers tightning around it)
A Lennon flashback? Happiness is a warm !
I heard him sing “Rock and Roll Music” on radio today. “A voice that sounds like human flesh ripping.”
”The work is everything, the Man, nothing” I prefer to Imagine the verse below
But all shall be well
And all shall be well
And all manner of things shall be well
Dick Durbin voted against a republican?
I’m shocked.
Barb! Good to hear from you.
BARB! DAMMIT! Stop hiding from us! Where’ you been?
Sorry Guys! I’ve got a 5-10 page autobiography due in psych on Monday.
Since we’re spending the weekend in St.L I need to get it done before I leave.
I’m at page 5 now and I’ve got to get myself into my mid 30’s + answer some deep questins posed by my prof-who I like-in 5 or less pages.
I write like I speak. grrr.
I’ll be up late-luckily I can sleep in the car.
Whilst driving?
Hint: Do NOT begin your autobiography with the words, “I was born..”!
Also: Would you please post the racy parts?
Joe Cocker:
But you can leave your hat on the sharks out
You can leave the sharks out
You can leave the sharks out

Oink made me do that....somehow.
Well I finished the damn thing printed out a copy to check for length-our ink is almost out- and while trying to save it to floppy misunderstood a command-it’s almost 2am-and ERASED IT!!!! 2 days and 7 pages worth of work gone! I’ve got the copy but the ink gooes in and out and is smudged and it’s not very readable.
I can’t re-write it because it was pretty emotionally draining. I dug deep.
I e-mailed my prof in a panic.
Hey my A was nice while it lasted
Damn, Barb. Do you have any kind of undelete utility? If you were using Word look for a backup copy?
Don’t give up on it. Don’t write to the drive and wait to see if there’s some way to recover the file. It’s all there, it’s just that the first charachter of the filename is gone and the file allocation table has cleared it for use. It may be recoverable.

Professor Skipper
P.S. Barb, why don’t we get together for lunch on Saturday or Sunday? I’m buying. I promise not to complain about your chatter.
I’m betting The Skipper is right—there is someway to recover the info. Try. Ask a geek for assistance. My sons work writing code & weird they might help.
P.S. Next time don’t push that DELiver button.
OCM: 1. There are gazillions of sites selling term papers. Schools got Industrial Strength plagiarism detection software.
2. I have no trouble imagining that. ”I get high with a little help from my friends”
By the time you go to all that trouble, you’ve done the real research. I thought maybe you’d added error deliberately so it wouldn’t look plagiarized.
My last class in college, I had fought with the Professor all term—I was out of Vietnam—and those WERE the days when dissent was tolerated. I handed him my final exam and said, “I’ve seen an exact copy of this test.” I had—but unknowingly, thinking it was one of many former test examples.
He looked at me, ”I’ll be damned! That asshole is a man of honor!” and told me to turn the test in anyhow, as is. The bitch of it is, without “cheating”, I’d have gotten a 96 instead of 100. Not that I have not done some plagiarism on portions of my term papers.
It’s always a good idea to give ‘em something minor to gig. It gets a lot of other stuff past ‘em.
Yep, paraphrasing and rearrangement is one way to beat plagiarism. Not that I’ve ever done anything like that, of course.
One time I was at the library & could NOT find one more book to complete the required bibliography for an assignment. So I went to the children’s section and found The Little Golden Book of Medieval Tortures or some such. I hoped the Prof. didn’t check the citation & he didn’t.
