That could be a problem if you have a really bad memory.

Don't tug on Superman's cape
Don't spit in the wind
Don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger
Don't mess around with Jim

A few rules from our Magic Mountain days (we had a list of over 200):

Always remember where you parked (especially when you own a gray Hyundai Excel).

Sometimes you just gotta bail and get your hand stamped (and go make out in the car).

Make friends with the employees and you'll get deals on stuff. (Note: this does not work at Disneyland.)

Eh, probably doesn't work at Magic Mountain anymore either. Definitely not to the degree it worked back then.

If you save something on your computer don't just hit ctrl S - look and see where it's saving it to. Maddie claims she did this multiple times on a powerpoint she was working on for homework but it's gone. I've done every kind of search I can think of and it's not on her drive.

Poor kiddos doing it all over again.

What version of PowerPoint? If it's recent, with the ribbon, click on the office logo in the top left. There should be a list of recent documents on the right side of the menu that drops down. If it's an older version, with the standard menu bar, in file there should be an "open recent" option that should list any recent documents.

That was the first thing I did - and it's not listed. No idea what happened. She'd tried to print and it was giving her some errors, I could print from my laptop fine so I had her save and re-start. And then it was gone.
