My Dearest Fellow-Ethical-Treatment-Of-Animals-(PETA) Friends, Does your worry for the wellbeing of Draft Animals keep you UP at night? I am totally against the mistreatment of draft animals, for any reason. However, some people just don’t care, and they abuse these animals for base pecuniary reasons, not caring a wit about the damage done. Is there any hope for these animals, do you think? Following are several examples of the emotional injury to draft animals... What can be done to help them, do you imagine!!!!? SOMETHING must be done to rectify this injustice. Let’s all make an effort to help these poor beasts overcome the predicament that life has randomly thrown their way. Thanking you, and, With sobering regards, Gamma G. Note & Questions: Is This Draft Animal Situation now beyond rectification and redemption? The Barkeeps are making out, BIG TIME, as Trump might say, while these poor Draft Animals pay the cost and inevitably go penniless: Is it indeed hopeless? Let's HOPE not....

Does it have a happy ending?

a. What is boomer-formatting??? b. You should be so lucky to turn into me when you reach my age.

Post images of your bread maker, and maybe someone here who can read Chinese might translate it into Thai for you, or English. I wonder who on this forum reads Chinese... Hmmm....Let me think a bit....

Yes! They all throw peanuts at me. I am paid in peanuts. And, being paid in peanuts is FAR more than I deserve. Far more.....indeed! When I have collected enough peanuts, I shall use my blender to make half a jar of peanut butter, maybe...

Good! Do as I do! Not as He says!

On Second thought.... Maybe this forum is not yet ready for discussion of the uses of LATEX. Such a discussion is normally approved ONLY for ADULT AUDIENCES....

Maybe this is why I haven't finished the book yet.

What's your favorite LATEX color? Mine is yellow... This girl in LATEX is just so mellow....and yellow... She reminds me of Donovan...

Latex is such a versatile material. Little wonder that it is becoming increasingly popular in the world these days.

If your first attempt at installing TeX Live fails, just because you forgot to prepare enough space on your SSD, and then you need to delete your first installation, and then reinstall it, as has happened to me this evening, then you might be wishing you had purchased a latex mattress before you started. I am thinking of buying a latex mattress before I begin STEP 2 of the LATEX tutorial, which I linked above, at https://www.learnlatex.org/en/lesson-01 Latex mattresses are expensive but well worth it, especially if you weigh a lot, and if you might have health problems such as arthritis. Or, if you are completely healthy, then you will still get a better night's sleep, or so I have been told. Here is a video about Latex Mattresses, but let's not believe everything we hear. I cannot vouch for these guys:

Please NOTE: For those of you that choose to install TeX Live on their Windows computer, but then decide to uninstall this VERY LARGE program from your hard drive... a. First use the standard Windows uninstaller using the Add/Remove button, as usual. b. However, after doing this, the 3.5GB of TeX Live files will still remain in the directory "TexLive", located on your root directory. c. You will need to locate this directory, and delete the files contained in the directory (folder), and then delete the directory (folder) itself. I just wanted to mention this, so you don't get stuck with 3.5GB of files on your computer that you don't want. This software, I believe, was first ported to Linux (maybe), and so most guys, these days, probably use TeX Live on Linux, or maybe Apple OS. Windows works, OK, though....

As you say, such a fate, for me at least, would be highly likely. And so, I would never tempt fate by marrying a prostitute or a bar girl. But, each to his own, and I should be the last to judge others.

I wouldn't be attracted to old women, even if they dressed up in latex. I am attracted to women of about 23 or 24, same as I have always been. But now, I am too old for them. Therefore, if it is not right to have a 23- or 24-year old, then I think it's best to have no muffin at all. See what I mean? But I can't even tell which of these girls is wearing latex, and which might be just wearing leather, or something else. Talk about TAINTED LOVE!

This girl is SUPER CUTE! Still, just a tad too much latex for my taste. And, she should loose that wide belt, maybe...

If you decide to install TeX Live on your computer... Please ensure you have plenty of FREE SPACE (Head Room?) on your drive. I thought I had enough space, with 9GB free, but it turned out to be insufficient, and the installation failed prematurely before coming. When this happens, then you must uninstall the program, and then delete the TeXLive directory, before you can start the installation again, as I am now doing. (TeX Live is easier to install on OpenSuse, as I recall. But Windows should be OK, too.)

In case anyone chooses to install TeX Live on a HDD or SSD.... TeX Live is a VERY LARGE software program with many lines of code and MANY files. During the installation process, many compressed files need to be unpacked and installed. Unpacking these many files requires a LOT of time, but is not especially CPU intensive (the CPU I am using is an antique, and slow, Intel i5 4670). My installation of TeX Live required approx 60 minutes to complete. ((Installation on an SSD will probably be faster than on an HDD.)) Size of the Windows 10 OS is about 20GB for the 64-bit version TeX Live requires about 7.8GB of disk space Both programs take a long time to install, about an hour, it seems. But: TeX Live is free software And: Windows 10 is ALSO free software...IF you know where to download it for free. I always choose free software. I always prefer opensource software. Most good things in life are free, but usually not so in Pattaya...

TeXLive is a very large software program, and the installation process may take you about.... Maybe about the time required to listen to "Tainted Love" at least 10 or more times. There are MANY files to be installed in the TeXLive computer application. Just let your computer BUMP AND GRIND for awhile. (Of course, another option might be to use a LaTeX online version. But, not quite as satisfying, IMHO.)

Just can't get enough of this TAINTED LOVE...

Wow. Now I got Tainted Love Can't stop thinking about TaintedLove... Latex or not... The tune is GOOD!

But WAIT!!! I don't want anyone to get too bored, here, before we have finished our installation. Are these girls wearing latex? Is this what latex looks like? First time for me. Looks good. Very becoming, in fact.

Having begun reading the linked tutorial, you may decide that you want to install TeX Live on your Windows computer. Or, if you have an Apple, or a Linux computer, then you will know what to do just by going to this tug.org site: https://tug.org/texlive/ Just play around with it.... Have a lot of fun! (Please note that, for the Windows version, you will need just under 8 GBytes of free space on your hard drive or SSD. This is not a lot of space, and you probably have plenty.)

For those who have never used LATEX, then one of many starting points might be this site which provides a very basic tutorial for newbies: https://www.learnlatex.org/en/lesson-01 It's always nice to know more than your teenage grandchildren. Sure, they might be able to quickly set up your iPhone, when you might require days or weeks, But, can they compose a beautiful document using LATEX? Probably not. Why not impress your grandchildren by being able to do something, using fantastic opensource technology, that they cannot? The above site is just one of many offering tutorials, and some say it's good. Old dogs are never too old to learn new tricks.

Maybe just a bit too much latex... And not enough LATEX
