    If white bothers you, you can always change to a black background. Several people at work prefer to work that way. There are a number of different display settings on computers these days for different issues.

    I would like to know how to do this.

    Right click on your desktop and you'll get a menu that looks something like this:

    Choose Display Settings. In the search bar type: Ease of Access and High Contrast.

    There are other ways of getting to that point as well like the search under your start menu.
    Or if you know where Settings is, find it and then choose Ease of Access.


    Once you get to High Contrast, turn it on. Then you'll have some theme choices. Pick one you like and Apply it.

    If you choose Colour Filters from the menu (right above High Contrast), you can choose Greyscale which greys everything. Or Inverted which makes the white backgrounds black.

    There are things you can do with themes, brightness, etc. as well. You can find those under System and Display.

    I've got mine set so that the night light comes on at midnight and turns everything sort of a pinkish colour. At work, it comes on at 4:30 pm.

    I have to giggle at all of the posts about the background or finding our thread; for the life of me, I can't find a way to get out of the community section and back to the Home page (the one with our daily count, friend posts, etc). Anyone have a clue?

    HEATHER - how awesome for your book and for your marriage

    LISA - Thank you!

    TRACEY and MACHKA and KELLY (and any others) I tire very easily these days too!

    MACHKA you have a heavy load with full time work, commute and DH to care for in some ways. it's understandable that you be tired. It's not only the glare - it looks like comments are floating in space and I don't find it as pleasant as in a box. Though there may be an aspect of habit involved.

    MICHELE
    "anything in particular?
    I dunno. It feels a mix between physical and emotional I guess. I have to say that when I feel okay physically I tend to feel okay emotionally over all... but there may be some crossover!

    Relatively brief today.

    Going to do inventory and state of repair session very shortly for departing renter today. (I
    have 2 tiny rental studios). This one is a pain. He seemed a nice guy and paid his rent no problems. No problem whatsoever for a year.

    Then after 14 months he had bedbugs. This can happen is is no one's fault.

    But there are no other bedbugs in the building and it would seem, in that case that the renter is responsable, in reality.

    Law would seem to put responsibility on the owner, unless I can "prove that he had irresponsable behavior" (which is ridiculous as a term and impossible to prove).

    He was very accusatory, and panicked and left and gave his 1 month notice. I asked him to treat it with diatomic powder (which works well) which he did, but he was freaking out and insisted that I get in specialists to do a very toxic treatment, so I did that (2x required, to be efficient.) because there was the risk that if it spread in the building I could be blamed.

    The new sofa bed pretty much has to be replaced as it is full of stains as he let it get highly infested before notifying it. I wonder if he hadn't subletted it!

    The technicien doing erradication said there in no way he could have slept months with so many bedbugs without noticing it. (he is a young healthy student) A mystery!

    I had to spend time and money on eradication and much stress, with all his calls and mails.

    And will likely have to replace new sofa bed. There is at present a 6 week wait or so for sofa beds. which means no rent for 6 weeks!

    I didn't want to order it before doing the inventory and state of repair. I want to see if he is going to clean and try to clean the sofa or leave it with stains. He is really into fighting to defend himself

    . Since I had to go to his place 2x I saw his sort of big paper on the wall that looked like it came from feedback to him from others during a workshop - on his strengths and weaknesses.

    It said something about being a "fighter" as one of the main things. That is definitely the impression I got.

    He seems to be determined not to spend a penny. He spoke about mental and physical distress that he had to bear due to bedbugs and shortly after I found those terms in a legal text on the subject.

    He reminds me of a past renter I had who was pre-law. She seemed to enjoy being litigious.
    I had not seen him to be thus till now.
    For example, he tossed the comforter and sofa cover rather than cleaning them. He will aim to not be responsable for anything.

    I don't know if it's money (I kind of doubt it), his family pushing him this way, his wanting to win, or wanting to feel that it can't be his fault this thing... It doesn't really matter.

    It usually takes a good hour and he said he was bringing "a friend" which is very rare and sounds more litigious.

    I need some painting done in the bathroom closet so maybe I can get it done while waiting the 6 weeks for the new sofa...

    Thank goodness the new renter in the other place is the exact opposite. His dad, a landlord wanted to note nearly every speck of dust on the entrance inventory and state of repair but then also offered to fix several things that needed fixing free of charge (except the cost of 95 e or so for a faucet, with receipt.)

    Just have to roll with it. Jumping on my scooter now and going.
    .


    They seem to have put the easy spoiler button back. Yay!

    Kelly/KJ ~ I am having the exact same problem. I can get to my bookmarks under Categories but once I am there, I can't get back to my home page where I can log my food.

    Machka ~ Help!!!

    At the top ...

    It says something about viewing the page in English (or a language of your choice) then below that there's a line that says Home and Motivation and Support.

    Tap Home.

    You might then have links along the top.

    If not, check the right sidebar and choose Invite Friends.

    That should get you where you want to go.

    Did Biggest Loser Workout 2 DVD. Then went to see if I could donate plasma (I can’t), stopped at WalMart on my way home, now making cookies for Colby. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Bob Harper Inside Out DVD. I didn’t like to go to the gym on the weekends because it’s usually busy, but I may have to change my routine now. Perhaps they aren’t real busy early in the morning.

    One thing that I wish this new format did was take you back to your last post. It takes you to the last page.

    Barbie – thanks for telling me that about finding the bookmarks. I usually scrolled down to the bottom of the page, but now I won’t have to do that

    Tracey – I just hated when I was done and then like 10 months later it starts up. I do hope everything works out for you

    Now making a pumpkin raisin bread to take to Jess and Colby

    Barbara – I don’t do any type of formal log in. As a matter of fact, I can’t even find WHERE you would log in. Now today I just checked to see where I might log in, I can add another food. Why is it that sometimes I can and other times I can’t? I’ll wait for a time when I can’t and see if there’s a place where I can log in. I know that I can’t seem to access the database to add a new food (one that I’ve never had before) but I can add foods that I’ve had before. That must be a feature for premium members. But that’s ok

    Julie – can you order the sofa bed and when it comes in store it somewhere so that you can put it in and not have to wait the 6 months?

    Well, she’s finished. It seems that the majority of people opted for the colorful shells. Wish more on here had responded. Oh well...I asked some friends, also.

    :) try going down to the very bottom of this page and click on "calorie counter" among the small blue words. It should take you back to the home page to access food and exercise

    I have a MacBook Air. I don't see anything like this. I already have my desktop in a charcoal color.

    Ah ... I don't know anything about MacBook Air. But there should be a settings option somewhere. Maybe try Googling it.
