OB food: I put a lot more of the bacon in my home made beans than
usually makes it in, and I love it! I cook up 5 or 6 strips of thick
bacon for the bacon fat to brown the chopped onions and normally end
up eating all or most of the bacon while I finish making the beans. I
think I ended up putting 5 strips in the beans this time! YUM!! :-)

And pure bacon is the best, which is why usually not much of the bacon
I render for it's fat ends up in my beans!

:-)

Must fuel the Christmas Candy making machine before today's production
starts! I have a 2x batch of fondant flavored with oil of peppermint
and 6 drops of green food color all waiting to be formed into patties
and dipped! Ugh! ;-)

Why do you keep making these ridiculous posts? If Google Groups does
not work for you, use a real usenet provider. No one is forcing you to
use Google Groups.

I've explained why I prefer using GoogleGroups. Were you not paying
attention?

I posted this "ridiculous post" using Free Agent connected to eternal-
september.org's Usenet news server because GoogleGroups was sucking so
badly, a problem which appears to have been ephemerally/temporarily
ameliorated.

I have options! ;-)

gg is a tad slow this morning. not bad though. however, i can't get
rid of favorites that i marked(then unmarked) about 2 months ago. it
is only a certain 5 favorites. Other favorites that I have unmarked
don't come back to haunt me. as for beans, eat only 3 oz. along with
a serving of low fat organic cottage cheese blended with flax oil, and
fresh ground flax seeds. eating this combo prevents cancer of the
left nostril, which comes about from eating too many beans without a
proper counter measure.

As much as you post about it, maybe it is the norm, and is not at all
"temporary".

Did you ever consider that?

Sometimes, GoogleGroups response is very fast! And sometimes not.

There is nothing wrong with my access to Google Groups when John posts
his complaints, so I can only think it's his provider.

That doesn't explain why you make so many posts regarding Google
Groups performance. Make them on a news.* group. We get that you're a
masochist.

Like I say Nancy, it's very variable. On one post I'll see it right

He doesn't have the mental capacity to post about anything useful AND
because some of you keep giving him attention. I read without filters
for awhile and just started using them again and this is much better.

He has both a real usenet provider and a real news reader. There's no
excuse.

Exactly. There are lots of people here who post from GG, but he's the
only one who is constantly talking/complaining about it.

All kidding aside, does combining beans with dairy help those who have
a gas side effect or not? I thought the only cure was to eat more
beans over a period of time.

OTOH, GG has never lost any of my posts the way my "real" provider has
been doing. GG will give conformation that your post was successful
while my T-bird reader will act normally and even place the post in the
sent folder but the post will not appear nor will it ever appear. This
has only been happening in the last few months. That's in another class
of lame altogether.

I don't think so. Certainly cheese doesn't matter. People say Beano
works but I've never tried it. The Mexican herb epazote works a
little bit but the bitter taste is somewhat strong (and seems to me to
go better with black beans that with pintos). We eat beans so often
no special help seems needed. -aem

99% of the time when I think I've "lost" a post... it's just at the
end of another thread with the same name. I stopped losing threads
that way after I started navigating to the next unread message by
using my spacebar.

Thanks aem. I happen to *like* eating cottage cheese with baked beans
(okay I'm weird), but I'm the only one in my family who does that.
I'd like to have beans more often, but hubby gets gas and it's not
easy to convince anyone who gets gas that they should eat beans more
often.

I've been using Thunderbird of years and this is a new behavior that
I've seen. It could be a problem on my end or from my Usenet provider.
OTOH, my provider has certainly gotten laggy and then there's my
having to chant when sending post so that I won't get a time-out
error. This tends to be stressful and hopefully I can find some
resolution for this.

I checked my Eternal September account and found only posts up until
5:18 this morning which would be 7:18 your time. It's the end of the
world man! 😲

Huh! So maybe if news provided information to other news providers,
service could improve?

My guess is that the server has lost it's ability to keep up with the
traffic. They're probably running old frankenmachines out of some guy's
mom's basement. :-)

At one time, this was a "feature" of the NEW GoogleGropes. They changed
the headers. For those who used threaded newsreaders, the headers no
longer contained the same information that had been used to link the
threads. This seems to have been fixed.

Stressfull? Really? Are you kidding? This is usenet and not
corporate e-mail that is important.

I can't believe some of the crap I read here.

You just love to hassle other people. Learn some manners pig! �

The problem is that when I press the send button, three things could
happen.
1) The message gets sent
2) TBird returns a time out error
3) the message gets sent but does not appear on the Usenet servers

So the reality is that I never know which one it's going to be when I
try to post to usenet. Stressful? You bet! Now go plonk me forthwith
cause I don't want to see any messages from your sorry ass to me. Tank
you veddy much. 💣

Only people who write silly things. You must have a terribly boring

Work, finances, and cancer are stressful. Usenet is not.

I've been here plenty long to establish I'm not a troll and I talk
about food way more than you. Just because you don't like what I say
doesn't mean I'm a troll.

Whatever disagreements we might have, you are certainly not a troll.
I think dsi1 was referring to Mr. Kuthe, who is also not a troll, but
does constantly complain about the performance of GoogleGroups. I use
GoogleGroups too, but I don't complain about it because I figure that
it's free, and often you get what you pay for.

Not true. Sorry for not being clear. I was referring to ludacris not Mr.
Kuthe. My idea of a troll is a guy that gets off on hassling other
people. Evidently, I hit some kind of nerve by pointing out the reality
that the Usenet servers are past their days of glory and are going
downhill. His response was to call it crap and me an idiot. I might be
an idiot but him saying so is mostly an indicator of his upbringing -
not my IQ.

BTW, contrary to what you guys and all the Usenet vets might think,
there's no statute of limitations on being a troll or an old dude with
bad manners. As it goes, I'm not going to feed the troll.

I define troll as one who stirs up shit, but is not willing to stick
around and engage in argument, but just sits back and takes
satisfaction in the trouble (s)he has caused. Often, trolls do not
have strongly held beliefs, but merely post whatever they think will
offend the majority of the NG regulars. Troll is not synonymous with
asshole or perpetual gadfly. I also think that in an age of virtually
unlimited bandwidth, that killfiles are way past moribund. It's easy
just to choose not to open posts by those whom you don't wish to
read. Plonking someone is *so* fifteen years ago.

Plonking is pretty much the acknowledgement that you're unable to
control your compulsions and impulses. Most of the practices and rules
of Usenet posting is archaic and useless. Obviously, the geeks are not
interested in changing with the times. Looks like it's up to you and me
to bust it all down. :-)

That man needs a sense of humor!

I just made up a batch of pintos and ground turkey. Yes I know that's
weird, but I also top it with cottage cheese when I eat it.

I don't get overly gassy from beans, but I do notice 'a little bit'
now that I'm using the simmering method of cooking them. Previously i
was soaking them overnight and putting them in the slow cooker or
boiling them. I never got any gas from ones that were soaked for 8-10
hours.
