I do know this. A high percentage of OPP posters either are semi-illiterate or else they have no idea of how to use the edit button. I understand typos in the body of the post, but what about the ones in the "headline"???

You can actually edit to correct your title. You have to do it almost immediately. It is my belief you have several things working with some "posters". Some are older and went to work early in life. Some could probably run circles around others using math, science and the like; however, the writing part does not compute. Some are in a hurry and hit send to quickly. And last, but most important to me, the inability to enlarge the font size for visual acuity.

Thanks for the sensible explanation. Good luck with the font sizes and that upcoming visit with the optometrist.

Please, Mr. Brian, I do not want to go. :( :-( I absolutely abhor things coming at my eyes, even knowing they will not cause pain. I know it matters little; however, let me be personally boring. Several years ago they sent me to an ophthalmologist. It required two nurses to hold my arms down to administer drops in my eyes and took three tries to accomplish. I know...I know...grow up. :XD:

UncleE and myself were viciously attacked by an intestinal virus. :idea: :lol: At first, I thought it may have been your doing. I remembered you were away so did not hold you responsible. I have other possible candidates for the attack. :-D :hunf: It has improved substantially; however, I am being very careful.
By the by...how was your trip?

Oh no AuntE I would NEVER wish ill on you (or UnclE). Happy to hear you are on the mend however! Thank you for asking, we had a great trip. The weather was not overly cooperative, but part of the time we were at a hot springs so that soothed the cold and snow away somewhat. We also visited Partner's Sis and Bro-in-law and their now 4 mo old daughter. Little one is growing like a weed! Very cute and even tempered.

I just had a visit to the eye doctor, they still use the same techniques. But, if it is just the typing on your screen that is too small; try this. On your menu bar see "view", click on that and go down to "Text Size" you will be able to adjust the font as it appears on your screen. Do not do the zoom, it actually will cause small issues when you try to see a complete page.

A lotus flower! Thank you!!!! Your kindness reminds me of a Malayan Proverb, goes like this "One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind." I am again in your debt. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Back in the 50's many hospitals were run by Catholic Nuns as non profits. Health care for those times was good.
Now hospitals are run for profit & the over all care is so so.

You are blathering and repeating yourself,,, it is ok to quote someone,,, but repeating the words of an idiot, even if it was yourself, is a cry for attention!!
Do you need to call your liberal mentor for some comforting!?!

When chased you run, when the light goes out you cry, when you don't get your way you throw hissy fits. You should consider yourself lucky I let you have the last word when I feel you need to have it. That's called having COMPASSION for the less fortunate like yourself.

But another phenomenon is highly intelligent posters,,, that are apparently educated beyond their ability to reason,,, like you for instance, the medical term is "liberals."

Allow me to break character for a moment, I understand you ignore me, and I pour it on because of that. But Brian, you are too intelligent to really not know, how arrogant and condescending you come off. These men KNOW your disapproval and your confrontation, that you like to try to hide, but in everything you say and do, you are making fun of them and they know it, but they dont use their "gifts" (punching you in the nose) to dominate. That is all you are trying to do is use the dynamics of the group to dominate and exclude them, and you know it. That is why they dont like you, and you do it on purpose. You think you hide it with humor, and they would probably like to launch you to the moon, because like a liberal, what is at the basis of what you do is meanness and anger.

Both are "what the hell are you looking at types???" that are better left alone........very alone.

Then they're not "conservatives" despite their political views. They're aggressive @$$holes.

I agree A.E.
A recent assessment in Florida proves 98% of people that collect welfare do not use drugs. And further studies indicate that the 2% were probably false positives due to medications they were taking.
Yes, even Paul Ryan's recent report about the poor indicates that people who collect welfare collect for no more than 2 years.
