Spunky, I have nothing to do with the board, but the text did go bold sometime late last night and was corrected this morning.

Mmmmm, sorry to bother again... but where's the Question to Moderators thread??

Anyway the text in bold is great (especially when using a laptop)...don't fix that.

Spunky, Here is the link: Questions to Moderators
Note: It's located in the topic "The Clubhouse : Questions and Feedback" from the main topic page.

Oh thanks Draheid,

I found it. They said it's fixed but I'm glad I still see bold... :)

P.S. I never had eye glasses...and I sure won't start now...

Is Dana leaving Wednesday night--or is everyone lieing to each other about the plan?

Spunky

Yes, she's gone!

Oh, well, it was nice to read the text leaning back...way back.... but now I have to squint again... oh well...

Spunky, I can enlarge my text and have it bold by going to View and clicking on text size and selecting largest. Maybe that would help you.

Spunky

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:17 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Well, I'll be darn!!!! Thanks a lot Laisey!!! :)

Spunky

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:18 am EditMoveDeleteIP
...and by the way... I only clicked "larger" and not bold and it's just great!!!

Spunky, you're more than welcome. Larger is the size I use and it really does help. BTW, if you're using Windows check accesories in programs and see if you have an accessibility listing. There probably is a magnifier there that can be a help if you run into some really small print someplace.

Thanks Laisey... I'll do that...maybe in about 10 years time! LOL

Will the cameras avoid Dana tonight??

More than one person has noted that the cameras LOVE to follow Dana around. Usually when a HG is voted out, the cameras avoid them on Tuesday. She's still on camera now. I fully believe she's going tomorrow - but I wonder if the cameras will avoid her tonight. She is so good for drama.

I have a quick question...Ive noticed a few comments about them going to FOTH when the HGs sing....why is that?

Lurknomore

Cause they don't have the rights to the songs and would have to pay the fees to use them if they are broadcast. Common theory is someone went after them after BB for royalties because since then they haven't been permitted to sing.

Thanks Lurk...I thought that had to be it, I couldnt come up with any other wacky reason it wouldnt be permitted...

When are they going to eat that watermellon that has been sitting on the counter for DAYS!!!! I know it won't be on the counter tomorrow.

Hamsterlady

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 02:18 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Tell me about it Cinder! Watermelon sounds really goooooood right now. I think I shall hijack the watermelon and cut me a slice right now. Would anybody else like a slice??? :)

Mystery

Or we could cut a hole in the watermelon and upend a bottle of vodka in it.

Gina, You're right. They used to really telescope who was leaving because they didn't focus the camera on the evicted one much after the voting occurred. The rest of today and tomorrow are the key for that. :)

Ok, another question from a Brit..
Can you explain what the difference is between jam and jelly please! I always thought what we call jam you call jelly but since coming to this forum I've realised you have both!

Kellirippa

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 03:52 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
jam is mashed fruit gelled, jelly is gelled fruit juice.

(I'm not actually American, but that's what we call them in Canada.)

Ladyxanax

Thanks Kellirippa. Do they taste massively different? Is jelly more popular - I've never even heard Americans or Canadians mention jam before coming to this site!

Jam has small pieces of fruit in it(or am I thinking of perserves?) Jelly is smooth like a gel.

Kellirippa

Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 04:04 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
No, not massively different Ladyx, it's just that jam has fruit chunks. Not really sure which is more popular commercially, but homemade jam is easier to make than jelly.

We have jam, jelly and preserves on most grocery shelves. Most people I know call all of them 'jelly' unless specifing for a particular purpose. As to taste, to me they descend in full fruit flavor from perserves, jam, jelly. And they have different textures, jelly is smooth, and they get lumpier the more fruit there is.
