Really, Google Groups posts look bad in Google Groups? I don't
understand why a serious company could have made something this bad.

Here is our conversation. The thing is, every post from everyone looks just like this.

Yeah, ours looks like that but not dsi1's. His run all the way to the edge of the
screen. See the difference in what you write and what the image you posted
compared to how his appear?

If I decide to post like him and never press the enter key my posts just go all the way to the edge of the screen and annoyingly look like this. See what happens when I wait for Google Groups to automatically start a new line of text for me when I just chatter away, pound the keyboard over and over and over????
 
(Sorry folks, I was just trying to demonstrate to Thomas what a mess dsi1's
post look like. 😣 )

I guess if I had a 60 inch monitor my neck would tire. I am staring at a 10.5 samsung galaxy tablet.
I don't notice end to end. It's like reading a book.

I see the post just fine using Thunderbird.
 
Some time back on another computer I had Agent and I think there was a
setting to fix them.

I liked Poi. I can't get it now but the flavor, reminded me of some
indefinable spice and black pepper.

No David. Your Taro does not taste better than ours. The USA
(including Hawaii) imports most taro. Primarily from Asia and Africa.

Thanks for the info. I should get another filter. I still think is sucks
that I cannot count on vacuuming one floor or our two story house
without having to change the filter.

I've not yet gotten the warning that I need to wash the filter. Too bad Dyson
doesn't include a spare in this model but in some they do. I just didn't want
to be stuck with a filter that seems to take forever to dry. If you have forced
air heat have you tried to putting your filter on top of one of the vents to boost
its' drying time??

Something is going on. I remember my grandpa always sleeping at parties when I was a kid. These days, I'm my own grandpa. The good news is that I didn't sleep at the restaurant yesterday - even though I only slept a few hours yesterday. The Hawaiian sun and breeze was truly invigorating. My wife chose the vegetarian option. I ordered a baklava. The dessert was a bit skimpy for da Hawaiians.

For all of them. Because all Hawaiians have the exact same
requirements for a desert.

That plate is cashew chicken. It's my favorite dish at Thai restaurants. I make a version that's sort of Chinese style. It's quite easy to make. The restaurant made their version with shredded chicken breast. I'm not sure how they did that.

They shredded and stirfried it.

Deserts are against the law on this island.

Many, many years ago a former boss's son died while working for the Embassy
in West Germany. It took a full month for his body to be returned to the USA.
