Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I know I have been MIA lately. Haven't had a lot to say again, and haven't really felt like reading and commenting. Last I shared that we had a meeting with the vice principal at Eli's...

I am cursed with a shrinking spell!

Fleur @Fleura (31022) • United Kingdom 4 Feb

Some months ago my ‘phone suddenly, of its own accord, decided to shrink the font of my text messages. I didn’t change anything, but suddenly all my texts were tiny. The first few words that appear on the locked screen are normal...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I'm sorry the shrinking curse attacked you. As for Word, did you try enlarging the font size? I needed to do that to work with my manuscripts. 100% isn't large enough.

The Unfair Treatment of Wynne Evans by the Press.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30095) • Lichfield, England 30 Jan

You all know how much I like Wynne Evans, so this makes me very sad. As I understand it, this happened at the launch of Strictly, which was a couple of weeks ago, so why it should come out this late is beyond me. Apparently,...

Dena Miller @Dena91 (16827) • United States 1 Feb

Valerie J. Routhieaux That's awful! I don't watch the news, but my friends who picked me up for church told me about one flight that crashed, not about the other. My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones on those flights. Only once. I heard about a flight that...

Jim Bauer @porwest (96421) • United States 2 Feb

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346759) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Feb

The photo is of one of our cats. His name was Blue because, in Australia, red-headed men are often nicknamed Blue. I know @TheHorse will relate to the following. He has a T-shirt that relates to it. I came across a comment with...

Positive Thinking.

Judy Story @jstory07 (141944) • Roseburg, Oregon 1 Feb

Valerie J. Routhieaux I agree with you that Mother Nature lost her mind with the strange January weather. To answer your question, no, I don't want to see spring. I want snow here and a lot of it. We're supposed to get two inches tonight. I hope so.
