These are called temp files; they are files that end in "tmp" and are created when you open a document and are contantly updated as you revise the document. They often have weird names such as "~bt00099.tmp" and are erased when you close your document. You would never think to look for them...
...taught herself this craft while in Europe, and apparently, she is quite skilled: the black dress she was wearing is a product of her handiwork. She also keeps a cat and is a playfully self-conscious about taking up the habits of, in her words, "a weird old lady."

Such a simple strategy--more food for less money--contrasts with McDonald's weird pitch for the Arch Deluxe (the "grownup" burger that has flopped so far) and its recent 55[cents] promotion, a complicated scheme in which customers paid 55[cents] for the Big Mac and certain other sandwiches when accompanied by the purchase of any size beverage and fries except...oh, never...
