    eyesight detting poorer or type change

    I am having a terrible time seeing the list of topics this AM. Did you make a font size change or am I just getting old all of a sudden?

    Hi Ruthe

    You can always change it by going into your settings or options menu...

    Zoom

    One thing you can do is hold down the Ctrl key and use your scroll wheel to zoom text size in your browser.

    Eyesight

    As soon as I hit 45, my eyes became less able to see small print.

    Used to make fun of my Dad by holding the newspaper 6 feet away. Hes said "You'll find out one day, this is nothing to make fun about."

    As usual, he is right.

    So, here I sit with a 50" plasma tv as my monitor, not three feet in front of me.

    Thanks

    I must have changed the text size by mistake. Now it is fixed and I can see everything again. Yeah!!
    I am beginning to hate this protection part of posting. It took me ten minutes and all variety of numbers and letters to figure out if they wanted I or l or 0 or O

    You too?


    I did the same darn thing.

    Thought I was going to have to upgrade my reading glasses to "Mr.Magoo" power.

    Merry Christmas Ruthe!

    When I turned 40

    I started losing my ability to see things up close. I figured it out in church. I was having trouble reading the hymnal right in front of me but could look over the guys shoulder in the next row and read his perfectly. I talked to an eye doctor and apparently it is the eyeball becoming less pliable with age so that the muscles around the eye have trouble squeezing it to focus. (I'll re-write the Eagles song and call it "This is the Age of the Stiffening") There was an experimental procedure that was tried that would insert a rubber band around the back of the eye to pre-squeeze it. It makes me laugh to think about everyone above 45 all bug eyed. I don't know if it worked but I would rather just use reading glasses. I got a pair in every room and car. WW
