Formatting your post



Recommended Posts

Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and as such may not be your opinion. I am not attacking anyone or even seriously expecting people to change what they do because this is about my opinion which is as equally valid as yours!

I find it very difficult to read posts that are formatted

  • with pretty pale pink fonts
  • tiny type
  • or centred

I also find it difficult to read posts that are written in text talk, with lots of spelling and/or grammar mistakes.

I guess that is what comes of being a formally trained writer who is, gulp, turning 50 this year.

The worst for me is when people don't use paragraphs. That usually makes me give up trying to read what they have written.

No, the worst is when people use absolutely no punctuation!

The only problem I have is the very small print.

Everyone has different educational backgrounds, so I don't fault anyone for doing the best they know how.

The colors don't bother me or whether they center, right or left margin.

I don't even care if they use paragraphs.

I just like the fact that they feel they can share and be supported.

To each their own!

I agree with Maddysgram... I can handle just about anything. If the font is too small for my bifocals... well, I just don't respond. Or maybe that's what they wanted? Anyhow. To each his own.

I totally agree with this! My eyes are getting old and the light pink is just hard for me to see against the white background. Hmmm, glasses maybe in my near future.

Awesome! Great to see responses in the same light-hearted "you don't have to do it my way" style as I was aiming for in my original post.

Just goes to show that we really can all get along if we just play nicely.

:P :P :P :P

I guess everything looks the same on the phone app... I don't see any different colors or fonts

Us phone app-ers only get black & white, all the same size fonts. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
