Ah, I see. Here's some good advice (for those who don't know): don't use Google Chrome to post poems.
I have been using Chrome since I started on this site, without a problem...not sure I understand anything you said there btw...
How does the browser affect line spacing, if you're copying from MS Word, or whatever? It seems to me that the line spacing is whatever you have set in your word processor, and has nothing to do with your choice of browser...
On a somewhat related note...I know the default settings in MS Word always add extra spacing, and a space between paragraphs...the first thing I do when I open a new word doc, is to go to the spacing thingy, and move the check mark from 1.15 to 1.0, and then uncheck where it says "Add space before paragraph"...
After that, I set my font thingy to Times New Roman 12...give the doc a title, and click "Save"...and continue clicking "Save" after every paragraph from then on btw...
I don't use MS Word, so maybe there's a wee discrepancy between my word processing program and browser. I know that any chromium based browsers I've used, bugger up the line spacing. Perhaps I should look at my word processing program. I use AbiWord btw.

Nothing really of note happened to me. I saw the most embarrassing thing: Two old women line dancing to aggressively cheerful pop music, but that's about it. Speaking of aggressive, I got all aggressive today because people were walking really slowly and kept getting right in my path. That was so damned annoying. My brother, Paul, broke his wrist today. Fell off a scooter, you know these wee micro scooters? Yeah, one of them. He's okay, probably sleeping now. He didn't seem very bothered by it. He's got a couple of formidable cuts on his arm, too. Oh! I won £1 on a scratchcard today. Told ya I was gonna win the lottery

I was trying to think to myself how to describe the pronunciation of the word "teuchters" to a non-Scot. It's a little difficult, but here goes!
Teu = Choo. Ch = vampiric-sounding hissing noise, like at the end of "loch" and "ters" = well, exactly how it sounds, so it would be: Choo-hiss-ters. Funny language, this Scottish.

This is going to be a toughie. The person above says something, and the next person has to sum it up in one single word! OMG! Tough, right? So, example time:
Me: Headphones.
Next person: Loud!
Etc. Geddit? Then, go!
First phrase:

I understood perfectly what you meant. Obviously the site isn't optimised for mobile. Tablets can handle it better because they have more memory and a bigger screen. I honestly think it's a case of incompatibility, which is why I suggested looking for a browser - a lightweight one, which uses fewer system resources - which can handle instant messages. Not knowing what make and model your phone is (which doesn't seem all that important, I know, but certain phones are just incompatible bricks), I can't give you specific advice, but generally, when something is taking a long time to process, it is either your CPU or your memory being slow. You've just gotta work out what's making it freeze and combat it, somehow. A good idea would be to see if it is doing the same on other sites. If it is, then it will definitively be your phone that is the problem.

Sounds like your memory is getting low. When I had my old phone, I had to use a task killer before and after every browsing session.

It could be your browser. You're using a Kindle, right? I've found that the default browser is quite crappy. Chrome is decent, but takes up a lot of system resources and can slow everything right down. UC Browser is the one I use and I've found it pretty great, but the downside is that when IMing folk, you have to go to their profile page to reply to them, which is a little inconvenient. Opera mini is good, but you have to manually refresh the page because it doesn't have Java, so it is a pain.
Of course, I could be talking from a hole in my head, and it could be a site issue, God knows, I ain't a network tech, but it is worth looking into another browser to see what works.

Big11, looking like Garfield. Has a sense of humour, which is a bit far-field. What I mean to say, is that he... Sack this, I don't know the guy from Adam, but he seems like a nice enough feller. Probably a grumpy git in the morning, though, what with the Garfield avatar.

I hate to admit it, but I have done and depending on the person, probably would again.

Yes, you were right. Well, sort of. It was actually "Nevermore", (one word, as opposed to two. Some editions have the word split into two, but they're wrong because that's not how it was written), but pretty much the same thing, anyway.

Duh, Aria (colors_of_the_wind), of course. We'd likely go to a nice wee romantic restaurant. Of course, our first date will be a nice home cooked dinner, when I arrive over there.

Nope. I keep my failures, so that if I look at them again, I can either draw inspiration from them, or learn from mistakes.
