DearWebby's tech support pits From: Wendy Re: Font size DearWebby Here I am again because for some reason I don't remember how to do something that I'm sure you've covered many times. So here goes: How do you change the font size on my Gmail account.? I've gone to settings, clicked on a larger font, but it won't let me save the changes!!! Also, how do I change the font on my whole laptop? Maybe that's what needs to be changed? For some reason the font on my whole laptop is so small that a chipmunk might have trouble reading it! Ha, ha, So, please oh, wise one, can you help? Thanks again for all the help, jokes, pics you send each and every day. Cheers, Wendy Dear Wendy Just come on over, sit on my lap,.. oh, and bring your laptop along! No need for the chipmonk. If you can't come, then if you are handicapped with W10, then try CTRL SHIFT > That does not work in W7, so I can't test that. If you are on W7, go into CONTROL PANEL, Appearance and Personalization, Display Keep in mind, the ninnies at Microsoft want to reboot after that, because they are in a snit that you don't like what they had decided is good for you. So, save everything before you do that. If you want to change it just in Gmail, hit the 3 dots and scroll down to the settings. CTRL + (or CTRL - for making it smaller) also works. So does holding CTRL while using the scroll wheel on the monkey, nah, the MOUSE. Have FUN! DearWebby A fellow is talking to his Irish buddy and says, "I gotta stop drinking that Irish whiskey" "How come?" asked his friend. "Because every Saturday night I go out and drink a fifth of the stuff, come home, make mad passionate love to the wife, wake up Sunday morning, and go to church." "What's wrong with that?" the Irishman asks. "A lot of good Irishman go out on Saturday night, drink a fifth of good Irish whiskey, come home, make love to their wife, and go to mass on Sunday." "I know," said his friend, "but I'm Jewish." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ An insurance salesman was getting nowhere in his efforts to sell a policy to a farmer. "Look at it this way." he said finally. "How would your wife carry on if you should die?" "Well..." drawled the weather-beaten man, "I don't reckon that'd be any concern of mine -- long as she behaves herself while I'm alive." ____________________________________________ A young couple had a flat tire outside the fence of a mental institution. The wife was leery of the inmates wandering inside the compound, but there was a swift creek separating them and her husband said it was OK. He took off the four lug nuts and set them into the hubcap to keep them from rolling away. Well, when he rolled the spare tire along the car, he rolled it over the edge of the hubcap and the nuts went flying into the creek. He tried wrapping a coathanger around the lug bolts, but as soon as he lowered the car, the wheel popped off to the great amusement of the spectators behind the fence. After a few more similarly hilarious attempts, finally an inmate behind the fence told the young man to take one nut from each of the other tires and put them on the spare. It would be safe enough to get them to a service station a few miles away. "That's pretty smart for a guy in your place," the husband said. The inmate replied: "I may be carzy, but I'm not stupid." ____________________________________________ A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear. No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?" The chauffeur, a corporal, says, "General Wheeler." "I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker on the windshield." The general said, "Drive on!" The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker." The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!" The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General, I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?" ______________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
