Looking at the generated HTML it is pretty horrible and from some of the things in there I'm going to blame Microsoft!<br /><br />The actual problem is that for some reason each paragraph has ended up with a text-indent (that's a CSS property, i.e. a style) of -18.0pt which pulls the text to the left and just out of the column in which the post appears. The result being that the first number (or letter on the lines that don't start with a number) are missing.<br /><br />This kind of thing is why I still use the HTML view in the standard Blogger interface to write my posts. I just don't trust fancy editors!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-89797564499976210052013-08-15T17:16:09.496+01:002013-08-15T17:16:09.496+01:00the cat came back is kind of a promise. hope she h...the cat came back is kind of a promise. hope she heads home soon.<br /><br />sleep helps skin no doubt. <br /><br />I spend a lot more than 15 minutes a week looking for mislaid. but maybe I make up for those organized people.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251168248457758117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-13872957332374629142013-08-15T17:04:00.135+01:002013-08-15T17:04:00.135+01:00I was fascinated by the small house.

So sorry to learn that Ivy has slipped ...Scriptor, <br />So sorry to learn that Ivy has slipped away from you. What a heartbreak it is when such spots of sunshine disappear from our lives. We are wishing her return for you. We've just had a cat move in with us, and although her stay will be temporary, I shall miss her sorely when she goes - if we manage to keep her till then. And who knew a young cat could find so much to say about getting what she wants? Free spirit that she is, she tries as hard as she can to get outside to the world that calls her, mysterious and wonderful as it is, we realize when we watch her outside, and I feel so mean for my denying her the small pleasures of a cat. <br /> Your photos, especially of buildings, and often your comments about them, hold such interest for me. I am struck every time with the history of place inseparable from them and the wonder of the place where you live. Looking forward to more! Take care, McGregorMcGregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268805830469084301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-32767305648214491162013-08-15T13:58:57.467+01:002013-08-15T13:58:57.467+01:00Holy cannoli, there's a lot to this post (and ...Holy cannoli, there's a lot to this post (and a lot of variety to this post as well), so I'm just going to pick a few items upon which to comment! First, though I won't SAY it, know I'm thinking and feeling it and putting in a good word to the 398.2 Gang for you (specifically the Head Faeries of the Health and Slumber Divisions). And I certainly hope that Ivy deigns to return home soon, she doesn't seem to know a good thing when she sees it!<br /><br />I, too, am relieved that I'm not alone in misplacing things (usually my eyeglasses, sometimes my keys) and wasting time looking for them!! I always thought that those two items especially should come with a remote finder, that when activated will make the misplaced item issue a loud beeping sound so you can find it (much like I can do when I can't recall where I last set down my cordless phone handset!)<br /><br />Love those car stamps!! And am glad local law enforcement finally dealt with your nitwit psychopath neighbor. Too bad they can't order him to seek psychological counseling! <br /><br />The Smallest House in England is really something (the thought of raising 8 kids in that small space - or of raising 8 kids in ANY space, even the Houston Astrodome!) gives me a major attack of claustrophobia! Wonder why someone went to all the trouble to switch out the position of the door and window? Better Feng Shui?? (A red door means "welcome" in Feng Shui, so maybe that IS the reason!)<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better and catching some much-needed Zzzzzz's soon!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-8223488664511724662013-08-15T13:52:01.847+01:002013-08-15T13:52:01.847+01:00How exciting to see relatives in a book of old pho...How exciting to see relatives in a book of old photos.
