"Ooops, There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant!"

Frank Sinatra sang a song in a movie called A Hole in the Head (1959) that includes a number of verses about how if you have "High Hopes" you can do almost anything:

Just what makes that little ole ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant

{But he's got hi-i-igh hopes, he's got hi-i-igh hopes}
{He's got high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes}
So, any time you're gettin' low, 'stead of lettin' go, just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
(Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant)
{Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant}

I was looking through the Craig's List for Boise section on computers and electronics, and I found an ad that is either a scam, or someone who has taken that song to heart:

single mother living in a shelter wants to start on line vet tech school and would like a cheep or a donated lap top

I'm a bit skeptical that this is all she needs to be a success, but talk about "High Hopes." She's not sitting around feeling sorry for herself. She has a plan, and she's going for it.
