It is. I am 35...by a certain method of expressing numbers.
EWWWW!ArkieDukie wrote:Today the mystery of why I've been sick so much was solved. When the movers took the headboard for my bed, they discovered a huge patch of mold on the wall. Behind my bedroom wall, on the outside of the building, are the meters for every unit in my building. There's no tuck pointing above the meters, and there's a bit of a gap between the meters and the wall. Therefore, every time it rains, the moisture comes through the wall, making the mold very happy. Now I need to check the head board before it comes into my apartment. If it's moldy, I cannot have it in the apartment - unless I want to stay sick all the time, that is.
Have I mentioned that I'm extremely allergic to mold?
The good news for me is that the condo association is likely responsible for the cost of fixing the problem. I spoke with our building rep, and that's what she thinks. They're responsible for the building and exterior, and the mold problem is due to an issue on the outside of the building.CathyCA wrote:EWWWW!ArkieDukie wrote:Today the mystery of why I've been sick so much was solved.

Yet another reason for you to leave town! I hope that the mold abatement in your current home doesn't cost too much.
Good! I hope she's right.

Glad you are getting away from this.ArkieDukie wrote:Today the mystery of why I've been sick so much was solved.

Still your birthday out here, hope it was a good one for you! (Then again, anytime anyone gives you whiskey, it can't be a bad birthday, can it?)windsor wrote:EarlJam wrote:Is today Windsor's birthday??windsor wrote: That is correct. He is a former ref.

I am so glad your out of there. You don't need that place. PHB has lost the "cream of the crop".ArkieDukie wrote:Went to supper last night with a friend who happens to be a former coworker. Found out that NuBarbie's office is being completely remodeled, so she has to sit at my old desk while the work is being done. She's getting all new furniture and everything.
I wonder if PHB has bothered to think about how it makes the other people in the lab feel when he does stuff like this. Seriously, a newly remodeled office for someone who has been there for less than a year? The guy who has worked for PHB the longest, in a position that is allegedly equivalent to NuBarbie's, shared an office with me. It's also the lab common room, containing 2 printers and a fax machine. It's maybe slightly larger than NuBarbie's office. It's like the community gathering place, which sometimes made it difficult to get anything accomplished. Wonder how long it will take her to complain about the constant stream of traffic and noise?
So nice of me to leave just in time for her big office remodel.
If you are talking about the display on your browser, try this: press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key and the shift key and then " + " (plus sign) key at the same time. Each time you press the "+ over =" key (with the other two held down) your display font should get larger. If you have a separate number keypad on your notebook with a separate + key, just press the control and + keys to make it larger. The shift key in example one is to type the + key instead of the = key. If you want to make it smaller, hold down the control key and press the " - " (minus) key. This works on Firefox and I think Internet Explorer.Very Duke Blue wrote:The fonts on my pc are giving me a fit. Something I must be doing makes them so tiny I can hardly read them.

Thanks Ozzie, it worked. Now I can see what I'm typing and read so much easier.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:If you are talking about the display on your browser, try this: press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key and the shift key and then " + " (plus sign) key at the same time.

If you want to increase the text size/visibility across the system, not just the browser, you can try two other things:Very Duke Blue wrote:The fonts on my pc are giving me a fit.

1) Increase system font -- go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display, and choose a larger size.
2) Reduce screen resolution -- go to above, and select "Screen resolution," and select something with lower numbers (e.g. 1024x768).
