The outreach ministry put out the call 2 weeks ago and a volunteer's boss is donating a queen and full size bed to the ministry!
The full size bed will go to an elderly lady who is moving out of a nursing home back into public housing. I'll get the queen size bed. And it's not just a mattress, box springs and frame. It will have a headboard, bottom board -- in other words, a WHOLE bed! I've never had a bed with a headboard in my whole life!
I do know the color is gold, so it's not wood but brass or something similar. Next Saturday morning I'll put Angel in her carrier for safety reasons and temporarily move things out of the bedroom into the bathroom so the men can get my old bed out and my "new" one in without knocking things over. I'm hoping and praying this mattress will be good for my back. It will be SO nice to sleep in a "REAL" bed again!

Praise the Lord for His provision!
I will pray that this will be a very comfortable bed for you.

I'm doing the best I can with the font. I'm not changing the bold but I was trying different colors as people were complaining about not being able to read it. But I have to be able to read it, too. So I changed it to pink, but now people don't like that, either. I give up trying to please everyone. The problem with that is you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing NO ONE. It's going to be bold and white and I'm not changing it anymore.

Rennie-I was never one to complain about your bold, black font. It did not bother me. But to tell you the truth, when I tried to read this post, I had to stop because the color is so light, that I had to strain my eyes to see it. So I never did get to read the whole thing. That's what members were trying to tell you-that it was just too light to see.

but the real "bottom line" is...you get to sleep in a real bed!!
Yahooo
I have tried different color fonts and it seems like I can't get away with it...the colors I like are too light to show up...
so here's for basic black!!nothing wrong with it..goes with everything and always a relief to go back to.
So check in after a good nights sleep. The week-end is nearly here

If you just leave the font as is, with no modifications, it will "change" with each person's preferred color scheme so that it is readable with each one. It will be their "default" color. I use a dark color scheme, so I can see it fine...but when I try to read it offline, it is like it isn't there! On the dark color schemes the default is white, on the lighter color schemes the default is black. I don't know about the colorful color schemes, but I'm sure it is legible for that scheme.
Just don't mess with the color, it will change on its own for each person.
