LOL

Have you never heard of truth in advertising? I keep trying to get this type form punctuation to post as I want it to and keep stubbing my toe on apparent lack of computer skills. In initial write, the image of a cascade was clear(even with the period lines). Then I hit review and everything contracts. When I use advanced formatting to get rid of periods and get letter spacing right, I wind up with double spaced lines which dilute image. I'm a gonna git this hyar 'puter stuff figgered out someday lol.......stan
