It has come to my attention that typing in all caps is not the thing to do. I really had no idea. It is hard for me to see sometimes and caps made it easier. I will do better from now on cuz I don't want you guys to think i'm a dork head I really had no idea it was inappropiate (sp?). With that, I sorry ...... Jennifer Wasn't sure where to post this.... duhhh me again

No problem Jennifer. And, can I take advantage of this opportunity to say that your daughter is a DOLL!!!! Did you already tell us the story behind her nickname? If not, I'm eager to hear!

LOL, Jennifer, a dork head? You must be as old as I am, I haven't heard that term in a loooong time.
It's a whole new language, isn't it? It takes courage to post in a new place. We're glad you're here!

LMAO!! i didn't wanna tell you....i hope that whoever delivered the news was gentle....and don't be dissin dorks, baby....there be LOTS of dorks readin along! i know when i first got online, and the news was delivered to me.....um...lets say the point got across!! hahahahah EVERYBODY does it at first! now i use the caps so that there is some inflexion in my words....cuz typing and talking are WAY different....and sometimes people misunderstand what you are trying to say! i also use the "..................." way too much even though i know it makes A nuts! use all caps when you want to yell something out loud.....like HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! now...if you are using windows explorer...look up at the very top of your screen...and you'll see file.....edit....view.....favorites....tools.....help click on view and then click on " text size" you'll see a number of options there ...just slide your cursor over to large or largest... and increase ALL of the text size ALL OVER your puter! this is a very fine place to ask questions... cuz there are probably 100 people out there that think they're print is too small, but didnt think there was anything they could do but squint! we learn how to post pics and lots of stuff in here, CUZ WE'RE FRIENDS!!! and friends help each other out!! and ditto on the darling daughter comment.. she's ADORABLE!!! we've always called molly a 'turd whacker' (i'm pretty sure the boys/sarge came up with that one) so googs is an adorable name, AND one that can be used in public/mixed company! BTDT (been there done that), e & molly kate

Jennifer, I just get the cheapie glasses at Walmart for reading. I bring a book or something and just keep tryin' them on until I can SEE. I buy 'em in threes 'cause I tend to leave them lay all over the place I keep one in my knitting bag, one in my truck, and one by my bedside. You are old as dust: dorks & glasses!! Chris too

Jennifer, Right after I read this post by you, I watched the video of Brooke, and noticed an older daughter. I might be way off, but I giggled to myself thinking she was likely the one who explained the "all caps" thing to you. Leave it to our kids to get a kick out of correcting us!!! No matter who it was, I do hope they were gentle. It's not a big deal to me! I've worn $5 dollar store glasses for 10 years now, and have just increased the strength every few years. (Started out at like 1.25) They really work well!!

Who said you shouldnt type in caps?? I don't care, I just thought it was your style, everyone does things differently. Anyway I love checking your posts to see if your picture of Googs has changed again. LOL That reminds me I must change my picture too, its about 10 months out of date. ;D Lorraine
