I wish I could reassure you, Aims, but I am afraid that I too was denied a Barbie Dream House, and it did indeed scar me for life.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Happy Birthday Sparky !
question for the academics here -- my neighbor is in college and is doing a paper where she needs x number of articles written form 1920 - 1950. She belongs to a number of libraries both academic and public. Unfortunately it looks like the lowest price article is 16 dollars -- so we are talking maybe 120 dollars for this one paper.
First -is this normal? What she should expect? and second , when I get the citations from her I hoping some of you might have some ideas of better ways ( meaning cheaper ) to get around some of these costs.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
beth - is there a reason why she can't access the articles via academic databases for free?

Shir, I think it is because they are historic -- current things are mostly free, but not the older stuff. ( Actually one of our local paper charges for anything more than a week old ) But I'll be double checking once I get the citations from her .

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy birthday, Sparky!
I feel the need to remind everyone, including myself, that my parents do not, in fact, spend every waking hour plotting how best to make my life miserable. Sometimes they are normal people. And sometimes we are a normal family.
Awesome thing to remember.
I did , however; have the camper
I had the Dream Car. I pretended it was different cars.
I know, I know. You are all shocked at this.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
beth, I have read and enjoyed free access to plenty of articles, dated back to the 19th century via jstor, WoS, Muse, Google Scholar and etc.. That's why I'm asking.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I never got my Barbie Dream House but I did have the Millennium Falcon.

That's good to know Shir -- part of why i asked her for the citations -- to see if I could find different ways to accss them -- or even find other articles .
