Happy Birthday : to everyone celebrating Birthdays on May 5th.:)
westgrand, is it just me or are all your posts now in small font?!
No, its not you, Tom...it's just that all the other posts are coming up in larger font [[on Soulful Detroit only), and I first tried reducing their size.
So, I then altered mine....
I'll now try reverting mine to same size as the others.....:)
They're still a tad too large for me.
I feel I need to lean right back, and type with my arms completely outstretched, but at least the posts are now all the same font size......:)
Hey west,last time i[leaned back]i woke up in detox,hehehehe!!!
LOL
I wonder why that's happening to you, westgrand! You haven't changed the settings or something like that? [[I have no idea what I'm talking about... I don't even know if there are 'settings'... lol)
I couldn't insert videos into posts for a while, but I tried it on a different device [[laptop!) and it worked there :)
Wonder what happened! I have a friend [[younger than me) who loves this font [[i.e. hates the small font). She's the only one who's complained to me about the small font. BUT........guess who emails everyone in the smallest font possible?!

Thelma Houston, Jimmy Ruffin and Saundra Edwards -- three Motown legends -- all born on the same day! How wonderful.
Well, Tom.....not the exact same day, just the same date, and in different years.
But you probably already know that Smokey Robinson and Bobby Rogers were born on the same day, February 19th, 1940....and in the same hospital......:)
Haaa... yes... not the exact same day and year, now that would be a coincidence...
... but not as much of a coincidence as Smokey and Bobby... that really is a coincidence...
... check out my deliberate accidental overuse of the word coincidence in this post... haaaa ;)
