    Of course. Spend 14 hours a day here and it's bound to happen eventually!

    Dammit! It was supposed to be a public poll and now I can't change it. Stupid nonmoderatorness. Can't even fix your own posts!

      When I was pregnant was my last child, I vaguely remember dreaming that I had the baby and I was trying to decide whether I should name him Solon or I think Pelagius. Either are fine names. Perhaps I should have gone with one.

      I don't remember having any other CUF dreams.
      What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

        Nice. A kid born for the Classics for sure.

          I don't think I've had a CUF dream, but it's only a matter of time. I'll try to work one in between the Raquel Welch special and the end-of-the-semester-and-haven't-gone-to-class nightmare (the latter of which I've had >100 times).

          However, I confess that while riding my bike, during idle moments at the office, or during weird or funny experiences, I often think "CUF might enjoy this," and I start composing a post in my head. Most of these never hit the board which, given the quality of those that do, merely highlights the utter banality of my daily routine.

            I've been out of school for over a dozen years now but I still have that nightmare at least monthly. I wonder what a shrink would conclude....

                After graduating, it was especially bad the first decade or so. I even ordered my transcripts to review, thinking that if I could see that there were no unofficial withdrawals, incompletes, fails, etc., it would somehow help eliminate the subconscious dread. Didn't work. I'm 58, I've been out of school for > 30 years, and I still get them, albeit much less frequently.

                  I have that dream quite frequently. That and the one where I show up somewhere and look down and realize that I forgot to wear clothing.

                    Flash got really pissed at me for a few weeks after school started because he started having all of his "OMG, I don't know which building the final's in" dreams again.

                      This thread was nothing more than a means for you to announce to the board that the firm you're summering at has loaned you a laptop.
                      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                            That doesn't explain what babs is doing with a laptop.

                              The dream I have the most is where I'm playing high school football again and am trying to figure out how I still have eligibility.

                              I've also had the end of semester dream.
