Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Blogger is Making Me Want to Chew Iron and Spit Nails!!!

.

Blogger is doing it's own thing with my fonts.

I do NOT want my fonts to be a plethora of sizes.

I do NOT want my font to be big enough to be read at 1,000 feet without your glasses.

But no MATTER what font size I set on blogger, they turn out however blogger feels so inclined.

It is driving my OCDness crazy.

Thanks for reading anyway.

Happy camping, it isn't my thing any more!
BTW I like your mentor's blog I took a peek!; June 14, 2009 at 1:36 AM
Altered Glass said...: Well, on this side of the page, it looks just fine! I always have craziness happen to my uploading pics. Frankly, I think someone is just playin' with us!!! How's that back to nature reunion going for ya? Actually looks like fun, no phones,oops... I forgot cell phones, well anyway no other huge distractions, oops.... laptop...
I'm sure you are having a lovely time anyway. K.B., Truly, I bet fun just follows you where ever you are!!! (I mean that in a good way:); June 14, 2009 at 6:24 AM
brokeintrovert said...: No, my font sizes are intentional. It is operator error and inexperience with the program. I know this is not your problem...I hope you can fix it, so you'll have piece of mind. Your blog is very nice.; June 14, 2009 at 9:04 AM
kyooty said...: I never know what my font is going to do either.; June 14, 2009 at 9:29 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: My frustration is I DO KNOW HOW to use the blogger program, it just isn't doing what I tell it to do!!! I think it's got a mind of it's own.; June 14, 2009 at 10:07 AM
Debby@Just Breathe said...: ((Hug)); June 14, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Cass @ That Old House said...: Hmmm... why such blogger troubles for poor Keetha?

Clearly it is because your blog is HAUNTED. My ghosts have texted your ghosts, and they've decided to mess with your stuff. They are such charming little cut-ups.

Which might explain the blood pouring from your veins instead of nostalgia.

Your family reunion looks like a blast! Never knew Quakers partied quite so hearty.... :-)

(My sister's comment on camping: "Why do people go out in the woods and pretend they are homeless?")

How long will it take you to shampoo the Eau de Campfire scent out of your hair?

Have a good time!

Trish said...: Grrrr...and I certainly understand the OCDness!!!; June 14, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Kristin - The Goat said...: I'm so happy you all had a campfire - camping just isn't camping without the smell of a fire pit in everything that you own. LOL

Love the nighttime lights - and the neon on the ground, too - Clever!!; June 14, 2009 at 1:32 PM
Lori E said...: One thing you might try with your font sizing (provided you have already gone to settings and tried to change "text size" there) is to hit the enter key a couple of times after a picture to disassociate the text from the image. After all your typing is done you can backspace out the extra blank lines; June 14, 2009 at 5:06 PM
LV said...: Sorry about your problem. For me, the bigger, the better. You will work it out. Stay calm.; June 14, 2009 at 5:34 PM
j said...: The spot on your blog where you change colors and fonts? Mine is STUCK. I can't change anything. So I have had to learn how to EDIT CODE to change colors and sizes permanently on my blog. And I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to colors matching.

Sorry Blogger is driving you bonker!; June 16, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Well, I don't WANT to learn to edit code. Here's the deal - - - I'm not sure the problem is the CODE, because it all looks GREAT in the creation box, it only looks WRONG when I publish. AND FURTHERMORE - - - it is WORSE on the rerun posts, which looked FINE to start with, and all I do to repost them is copy and paste the html from one to the other - - - so it SHOULD look identical.

GRRRRRRRRRRR

Oh trust me, I HATE how that last Sunday Rerun post looked - - - at least two different font sizes and BOTH of them LARGER than I intended.; June 16, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: blogger makes me mad too.; June 17, 2009 at 9:29 AM
Raise Them Up said...: I can so relate when I use blogger to compose.

My husband loaded Windows Live Writer for me and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! You can compose a post, add/subtract pictures, and even crop etc, right there in Live Writer. And it doesn't even mess up your type or font!! You see it just as it is going to appear on your blog. No need to toggle back and forth between windows or guess what it will look like.

Not all operating systems support it. But it's SOOOOO worth looking into. Can't recommend it enough. :)It has made posting so much less of a head ache for me.; June 18, 2009 at 3:48 PM
