Never mind. I have decided to make this Thai dish called Larb in the
morning (get everything ready at night) and take it with me. I think
my basil will last till tomorrow. And mint (bought yesterday) should
be OK.

Do you read your posts before you hit send? I understand that English
may not be your native language and that's fine--it explains some of
your syntax and that's easy to overlook. But could you AT LEAST use
spell check? Or read before you hit send, and correct the more blatant
spelling errors? This is a WRITTEN medium. The blatant typos make you
look ignorant, stupid and disrespectful of your audience. It says to a
reader "Screw you, you're reading this, you figure out what I'm trying
to say, I can't be bothered to make it clear."

You have mentioned several times you are in grad school, so you
couldn't be stupid. You're obviously educated. You have mentioned
wanting to help your brother eat healthier, and buying him cooking
tools to assist in that, so you seem to be a kind-hearted person who
cares about others. Yet, the sheer volume of typos in your posts bely
all of these positive attributes. It is frustrating to read your
posts.

Please use spell-check. Please make an effort to be clearly
understood. All anyone here knows about you is how you present
yourself on this newsgroup. Do you really want people to think you're
stupid, ignorant and don't care about others?
