Education & Reference - 12 August 2007

I have seen it attributed to Benjamin Franklin in Poor Richard's Almanac. Also, is it the correct original saying -

For want of a nail a shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe a horse was lost,
for want of a horse a rider was lost,
for want of a rider an army was lost,
for want of an army a battle was lost,
for want of a battle the war was lost,
for want of the war the kingdom was lost,
and all for the want of a little horseshoe nail.

Thanks...

Sex with professor! Help!?

I got involved with one of my old professors who is 30+ years older than me. I didnt know he was married, but ended it as soon as I found out. Now im left with the aftermath, and things are becoming very clear. I see him at school, and I feel so used/manipulated. Im almost unable to function. I dont know what to do, but I fear that he will do this to some other girl.

I feel very stronly that I need to let his wife know what is going on while he is at "work" so that it never happens again, and so that I can move on with peace in my mind. I already spoke to a counciler at the college and they told me there is nothing they can do about it since it was consenting and since i was not his student at the time.

Please help!! I really dont want this to happen to anyone else, but I know that it will if i dont do something to stop it. (and i know its happened before...he has a system down pat).

Do you think telling his wife is the right way to go, and if so...how?
