I forced my niece to go with me and sign up for access through her grad program; I told her I'd pay for her for a year if we can use it when we go up there!
I had to visit my mom out of state, on the day the Lewinsky scandal broke, and she has no computer! Before I left for the airport, I printed out every article I could, to read on the plane!
Mr. uvular couldn't go with me, so I left instructions for him to print out relevant articles and read them to me over the phone each night!
