Just back from cervical MRI - results due Monday. They decided that I can’t continue PT for my shoulder until they address neurological issues. On one hand, I’’m not looking forward to more surgery. On the other hand, it would be nice to have feeling in the fingers of . . . that other hand.
I had to look twice at who was having cervical diagnostic tests ...
Best wishes on regaining full use of your extremities. Can you learn to type with your toes?
Methinks the monitor would be too far away to read at that point - particularly since I installed OS X Lion. The Your Reply box on FR shows approximately eight-point type for my entries and I can't figure out how to change it. I can barely read my own posts as it is, until they're posted. (Noticed a few more typos in the last, say, nine months?)
I have little keys on the left side of my keyboard, with a magnifying glass on them, that let me make the image on screen larger or smaller. It can be a pain when the cat walks on them!
There's a new baby girl at my house since last you stopped by the UT; here's a link to my announcement.
I have the same job I had when last you visited; working for a different employer, but with the same client doing the same thing. My new desk is less than 50 feet from the desk I inhabited in 2001. I'm even driving the same old car, although I am about to move OUT of the same old house, which is a very convoluted story that's long enough to glaze your eyeballs.
Some days it seems I'm going in circles, but it pays alright.
What has been happening with you?
I have Firefox set to "allow pages to chose their own font size"; my 17" monitor has 1920 x 1080 "native" resolution, and that means text renders pretty small on most web pages. Wikipedia is notoriously microscopic size (a capital "A" is only seven pixels high).
Here's a link describing how to make text render larger in Firefox.
Apple's Safari browser offers similar options.
I had bone spurs in my neck that were paralyzing my arms. I had two injections of steroids 15 years ago, and so far, so good. I’m sure I like surgery less than you, but I detest hospitals, so once they fix what’s “wrong,” I’m outta there!!
I will pray for the doctors to be inspired to do the right things for you. It’s all I can do to keep your sense of humor handy when I need it. :o]
Lovely rose, lovely kitteh!
*ahem*
FWIW: Hold CTRL and use the “scroll” button on your mouse to enlarge the type on your screen. (She says, belatedly.)
Anybody here?
Good to see you back on-board. A prayer you and yours are doing well. Welcome back! (a few days late)
No.
I’m here; sporadically.
Which has nothing to do with Wahabi fungus, BTW.
At least I know why I feel so alone...
XOXO
I kiss your cute face, and the faces of your family, because I can face such wondrous things!
‘Face
And that reminds me...
...I still owe the UT pictures of the baby.
Perhaps one night this weekend after darkness falls upon the packing and moving activities.
I was taking a nap with Kathleen. We were up very late last night (her fault, not mine).
We had an “Envirothon” meeting this morning, getting organized already for next year’s competition since we were so successful this year. It looks like I’ll have four children doing it, instead of one, so I’ll have to drive to stuff ... but at least Kathleen will at an easily-managed age by then.
Tonight some children have swim practice, if it doesn’t storm, and others have a Venture crew get-togther, and I don’t know where Bill, the newly-minted high school graduate, is, or when he plans to return.
I need to get more pictures uploaded, too. I’m not moving, praise the Lord. I may even get out of working at Cub Scout day camp, because the coordinator says their liability insurer isn’t happy about the idea of a baby’s being there. Hey, fine with me ... I just volunteered out of a sense of obligation.
Maybe he’ll email next week and say it would be okay, after all, for me to clean bathrooms or something, baby-in-stroller and all.
Those of us who dwell here are patient sorts...
Do what you need to do and use my ping list to let folks know how sweet your latest baby is.
:o])
I can change the size of the various font options in the browser's preferences or whatever it's called for the particular browser. I can change the font.
That works wonderfully for everything on the page except the font that's inside the Your Reply box.
