The Kitchen Table

please i really need help, computer questions

18 years ago

I know it's late, but I hit two keys and now my email "body" of the letter I try to type is microscopic!!

I was pasting, so instead of "control" V, I think I hit the "windows" key and V? When I reply to an email, or write a new email I can not read what I am typing?

*The really stupid part is I did this a month ago, and it was shrunk but I could still read it.... NOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE :o(

Thanks

Do you have the screen maximized? - Press the center square at the top right of the screen, next to the red X.

Are you able to see lots of emails listed in your inbox, but not the message itself?

Could you post a screen shot of what your OE looks like? That would help - if you need instructions on how to post a screenshot - let me know.

I can't replicate any problem by pushing control V - hmmm... I am curious! LOL

3 Pinanga coronata or some othe Pinanga palm? (This is really just a guess based on the leaves looking like the picture in my little palm book.) 7 Could this be a Walking Iris, Neomarica sp? I think I see a plantlet at the end of a long leaf. 11 Snakeplant, Sansevieria trifasciata WW

Based on just the pose, it looks like an inchworm (geometrid moth caterpillar), but the photo is a little blurry. Is it spiky or furry? Is it big enough for its claws to scratch you or could the scratch have come from a trig it was sitting on when it fell that you inadvertently scratched yourself with? Can you get a better shot?

I am just a homeowner so i can't help much. What do you mean by a "good split"? Does that mean the ductwork isn't right? If it's not right then a new system won't make it right. If you fix this "split" issue maybe your system will keep up? OR is split just numbers. I assume it used to work? The guys here will want all the specifics on your home, size, floors, location, basement,and more about your current system (models) I think you are at that age where you can go either way. If you move in 5 years you will have an aged system that buyers will be scared of. If you replace it now at least you will reap the benefit of higher efficiency, better cooling and dependability and warranty. If you have low eff furnace you might want to consider the whole package so get prices for ac alone and whole hvac. I get my new stuff tomorrow. We haven't had problems really, though it did struggle with those 95 degree days, but we did get it down to about 78 so not as bad as you. Sometimes I think it still works more than it used to even in the 80's. Ours just had it's 17th season. Many neighbors with the same system have had problems that called for replacement.We decided to just do it without the emergency feeling that could happen in the summer. Looking forward to the 10 yr part and labor warranty!

I really need KD advice....please help

No matter who you hire, it's really important to understand what *you* want to some degree -- unless/until you determine you want to just go with an experienced KD thinks you should have. That's not the KitFor way and since you keep posting here I think you're one of us -- not someone who will hire someone and let them build their vision for you. It's terribly overwhelming. I almost sold the house rather than renovate it. But you seem to be doing fine. Two years from now, I bet you'll be here giving advice to others based on your experience. Since you seem to have 2 people lined up to help, have you compiled enough clips and photos of kitchens you like to help them figure out a style you like and features? If so, you're set for now. Having those "inspiration" pics will be a huge help because you can use the clips to figure out out what you go for -- you've said sort of country but that can mean different things to different people. The photos help make it more specific. When I went through mine, I found I picked a certain shape or color or style over and over. So I was able to define for myself what I liked that way. With that guidance, the KD you wind up with should then be able to guide you through the rest.

If everything on the pages is too small, press CTRL and scroll with your mouse wheel. This should make all the font on the page larger, or smaller. (of course, it's not working for this page - but someday it might for you!) =)

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I should have posted a picture, but you would have not been able to see the text because it was THAT SMALL!! I actually received a reply back from our computer expert at work, (the CEO of the company so I really felt stupid asking him, but what else was I to do?)

All he told me to do was go into the top tool bar under "VIEW" and then "ZOOM" and correct it back to 100%.

So my "fat finger syndrome" is fixed this time again!

Thanks again everyone!
