We actually hire college students with online stalker skills to work on a longitudinal study where we are trying to locate participants in an academic study from a long time ago. Not hiring right now, but some of you with mad skills might be happy to know you could get paid (a tiny amount) for your skills.
This thread brought to mind this song.
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don’t see
Trying hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
[Chorus]
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He’s watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there’s a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
[Chorus]
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There’s nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees.
If you are looking for old high school or college friends try classmates.com I used it before FB to connect with some of my old classmates.
@VaBluebird, Thank you. I never knew what the lyrics were and it is my favorite Doobie Brothers song.
