Thanks, Lani and Kathy, for your comments on my writing style. I honestly appreciate constructive criticism...having worked in print news for most of my adult life, I know the true value of a good editor!
To explain myself, I find the black print boring (it's black when I'm typing it ) and have often colored my postings thematically, as in red or green for a posting about a Christmas event. (Musta taught elementary school for too long!)
And I find Comic sans a highly readable print but then I'm myopic and rarely wear my glasses as home so many prints have a comic sans look to me. I make the print bigger because so many of my friends can't read the regular sized print any more.
But your points are well taken and I'll keep them in mind with all my future posts.[:I] And you're absolutely right-on, Kathy, about my combining 2 totally different subjects. An editor would have told me the same thing. Unfortunately, I'm often writing stream-of-conscious here and my mind flits from subject to subject and back again. So, you're right, I asked for it!
Mahalo for your kind comments...I didn't take them any other way.[:X]
