You ought to try a shampoo brush, this is by far the best, you'll
wonder how you lived without it, an inexpensive luxury:

Kent also makes the world's finest hair brushes/combs.... not so
inexpensive but last a lifetime... I'm still using the military style
hairbrush my mother bought me when I entered the navy... I bought more
since in different firmnesses to use as my hair grows from military
summer short to rock star winter long. Kent hair combs are hand made
miracles, there are none better:

Because my bathroom is done in Victorian, and I like the Victorian Calendar
on the wall with the other things, do you have anything in your outhouse
besides a corn cob? Wondering.

Especially when they look down and see a Dave in the toilet, that would be a
ghastly picture.

But calendar paper is quite hard, surely it's scratchy and not very
absorbent. Still, that might explain why you're still full of shit.

And most calendars provide only one page per month. That represents
a woefully insufficient supply.

Just wall decoration (with the pic). I keep one in my kitchen and
always choose some nice scenic thing each year. I'm not all things

OK Google is a different command. I don't need to say "OK Google"
when I use the microphone.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

I don't need to say ' OK google' either but I think it tends to work better when you do.

I tried the OK Google Flashlight On command. It worked,
though I have a better flashlight app.

For the same reason I don't say Open Sesame when I want to open the

Then learn how to do it with thsn. Others have and do. Meantime

You of ALL people dispensing advice about Usenet. You don't even understand how to read headers or attributions correctly.

You're lucky to get a response from me at all because I've long regarded you as an imbecile. Just filter my posts in future,(assuming you can figure out how).

(wish I could put context in replies, seems no way to with Google groups when using a phone).

Using OK google is much better than swiping/pressing an app imo.

Really? You obviously are confused. You are also unable to handle
usenet *basics* of quoting. Hint, at the most basic level 'copy and
paste' at need.

"If you're using the mobile interface for Google Groups on your iPad,
quoting when replying is not allowed. Look near the bottom for a link
labeled "Desktop" and click on it to go into new GG desktop interface.
The characters will be smaller and it's not optimized for tablet
formatting but it allows quoting. My experience with GG on the iPad is
that it's pretty sluggish but I hope it works better for you."

I wrote this over 3 years ago. The situation is still the same except that people are likely to posting from cell phones. The way things stand, no quotes will be trending in Usenet and Google Groups.

He's on the road (Cambodia, at least last week). He's using a "smart"
phone to keep up with what's going on. Don't expect miracles from a
Google app on a cell phone when we're talking about Usenet/newsreader
functions.

Thanks. I'm not about to copy and paste quotes and then add the delimiters every time I wish to reply, that takes ages to do on a phone (Google groups is far more basic on a phone than a PC,).


I'll be back home on the 27th, until then I'm sure ppl can deal with my Google posts... Or they can filter me if they can't

Wish I took more pics of the food I've been eating, it's absolutely fantastic cuisine here.
