Word consistently wants me to change

Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
>Baby costs came in today: 11k+. Don't remember how much of that's covered, though. These breast barnacles are 'xpensive!
Ouch. But I think that sounds about right (all associated costs--epidural, hospital, OB and ped came in around 12K for us. We were responsible for 10% of that but we had stashed enough in our flexible spending account to cover our portion. I thank super-planny husband for that.) Also, BWAH! That's the best baby-related phrase I've ever heard.
Oh lord, that's fantastic. And I feel obliged now to share the information that an enclosure for platypi is called a platypussary. And that I just clicked on a website (http://www.platypuscomputing.com/platwhat.html) that played the sound of kookaburras laughing, and it made me very happy. And I just refreshed the page, so they'd do it again.
It's a VERY good show--all about helping and sharing but with an ECHIDNA!! Bonus. Their theme music includes a didgeridoo, too, which is cool. Platypussary? Hee!
Nora, righteous anger indeed! I've had to deal with my twin sister's jealousy a few times because I appear to have the life she wants sometimes (husband, kid). But at least she's never yelled at me for it. It's not like your life is something that just dropped into your lap. You work hard for it and the people in it. Gah, it's just horrible to be so jealous you'd berate a friend in public for something like that.
Poker party went very well last night. I came out $5 richer than I went in after coming in 2nd in the Texas Hold 'Em tournament.

Done. And no variation of "cuddle" is there anymore. But after the venereal incident the other day, I'm freaked out all over again that it'll splip past someone.

Now you'll need to write about cuddling -- and boom! His name.
It's the way.

Spellcheck always wants to change my first name to Mount.
Huh, nobody's ever called me Spellcheck before...

Ok...in getting ready for starting to put together this portfolio, I went through everything I've been given back by the professor (I keep them in their own folder). I am missing assignments turned in on the following dates:
February 14
February 22
March 8
April 1
Plus, every revision that I've written this semester (I quit turning them in sometime in March, because it was clear he wasn't going to get them back to me...and I decided I didn't need the frustration) has not been returned...some of those go back to early February as well.
Please tell me I'm not off-base in being frustrated by this. I've even talked to the professor about it. There's only 1 1/2 weeks left in the semester. This portfolio is 50% of my grade. I really need this stuff back so I can make revisions and know where I stand walking into turning in the portfolio.
eta: I know this started a kind of a huge deal when I brought it up before. I'm not trying to start a huge deal again. I'm honestly asking if I have a right to be frustrated by this. 'Cause if the teachers and profs around the board feel that I don't, then I need to change my attitude about it, which is what I did before. I'm afraid, though, that I really let it go, maybe to a point that may end up hurting my grade, 'cause I'll be rushed to get these things revised.

Come back! I didn't mean to kill the thread. I promise I won't complain about school or profs anymore. Only positive comments will come from these fingers. Promise!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I can understand your frustration, especially if the prof hasn't given any kind of indication of when he'll give them back.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It seems a bit much to me, vw, but may be he considers the revisions part of your portfolio already and he'l lump them all in together?
ION, I have a cold and feel yucky.
IOON, I am going out for Dim Sum today and maybe that will cure me!

All is well that ends in pizza.
VW, place a single page where each revision goes in the portfilio with the words like "Placemarker for paper _______. To be removed when paper is returned by professor ______."
If indeed he can't get your paper back to you, you will at least have something in there to indicate why, and the professor will be semi-gently reminded he really has to keep track of things.
