To avoid the truncation, you'd have editors/readers like Ruth's that
would split the messages willy-nilly at some predetermined point... so there's where the two instead of one with extra overhead comes in...

That's different from the scenario I imagined.

That's what I figured... ;)

If it were mine, the tail end of the message
would have been forgotten forever. Not so if the
mail program automatically sent out a top part
and a bottom part, each with its separate overhead.

Are you one of those who (like Lilli) will drive a car
until something goes terribly awry, the danger being that
the breakdown happen in an inopportune time or place.

Not quite... I've learned somewhat what doesn't feel right, and would
take it to my mechanics to check out before it broke... and Richard does sometimes also keep track of that sort of thing...

And the feeling of reassurance is a benefit
of that carefulness.

So in some way he deserved his treatment?

Pretty much... He was a pleasant enough fellow, but a bit bumbling...
and didn't realize any of his faux pas... Richard would refer to him
(not to his face, though) as the gazelle.... ;)

That's a situation where mercy and good sense
compete.

Precisely... :)

Yeah.

So are intelligence and wealth - perfectly okay in
themselves but easy to use for damaging purposes.
Other frequently positive traits, too, I guess.

Probably...

Yeah.

The nonprofit she's joining is potentially a beneficiary...?

Yep, but there's going to be no enforceable
conflict of interest at that point.

Had she stayed on the committee, there might have been, though... wise move on her part...

She tried to change the direction of the committee,
which we members didn't mind, but the board of
directors nixed that.

Ah.

Yeah.

Hard or soft crunch? I usually prefer the soft
crumbly kind.

Not too hard, but not soft crumbly, either....

The Asian brand turned out to be in between as
you implied but closer to the subtle end than
the hard brittle end.

one could somewhat lick the outer level of flavor, and then

Hah, the truth comes out. One might even lick off
the outside and replace them in the bowl, and some
unfortunate innocent in the future would be
treated to what was still an okay snack, if one
didn't let on what had happened.

I suppose one might... but I wouldn't have... :)

Nor I, not even as a joke, because most people
are more neurotic about minor health issues.

Very true...

I have been known to pretend to do such things as
a joke (but let the victim in on it before it got
out of hand).

The dog, whose paw is sore, came up to me in
sympathy when I stubbed my toe just a few minutes
ago, points in her favor. She has bad breath,
points against.

Poor thing... ;)

She is in the double digits in human years.

It would.... I meant to look for them when we last went shopping, and
then forgot... maybe next trip....

Not such a big deal, though it would be nice to
know at some point.

I might remember in a hour or so when we go to the store today... we'll see.... (G)

Veni, vidi, vicisti.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Easy Coconut Loaf
Categories: Budget, Cakes, Desserts
Yield: 1 Servings

2 lg Eggs
1 ts Essence- vanilla
1/4 ts Essence- almond
1/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Milk
1 1/2 c Coconut- desiccated
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 c Flour- self-raising

Prepare a loaf tine by lining with baking paper or greased paper.

Break the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the essences and
salt, then the milk, and beat with a fork or rotary beater until
combined.

Measure the coconut, sugar and flour into another container and mix
well. Add to the egg mixture and mix gently until combined. Do not
overmix. Pour into the prepared tin. [If you have a food processor,
put all the ingredients except the flour in it, then process to mix
well. Add the flour a mix very briefly, just enough to dampen the
flour. Turn into the tin as above.]

Preheat the oven to 180^C. When you put the loaf in, turn the oven
down to 160^C [otherwise the top of the loaf browns too fast]. Bake
for 40 to 60 min until the centre feels firm and a skewer, pushed
right down to the base comes out clean. Remove from the loaf tin
after about 5 min, and leave to cool on a rack.
