Click on it - the background will turn a pale apricot/mushroom pink = the magnifying glass is activated.<br /><br />Now every time you click on the chart that is open on your screen, it will be magnified.<br /><br />Method #2<br />Click on the tiny triangle (down arrow) right next to the magnifying glass.<br />A menu will open, and you can enlarge or reduce from there (clicking on the line that says so), or you can click on 50, 100 or 200%.<br /> <br />Hope this helps. 🧐 Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196924805687069270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-40924651173117087012022-01-12T03:01:41.057-08:002022-01-12T03:01:41.057-08:00I have to agree with you, I found the crossover pa...I have to agree with you, I found the crossover pages a problem to read, but i have had my cateracts removed (I didn't even know that I had any)and now I can read most things without glasses. It has been wonderful for me, as I love reading so much and it was becoming a problem for me. I am not suggesting that you have such a problem, I am just commiserating regarding the size of the printing.

I like to think it's the carbohydrates; a universal comfort.<br /><br />I've been re-reading Jennifer Crusie recently, who's practically the anti-Betty. She's contemporary, soft-core, Brighton-bound and full of independent-minded, wise-cracking Americans who push for what they want -- at times to criminal extent. She does love pets, though, and eternal true love, and the dialogue crackles. These are not tea-time romances, though...<br /><br />Keep commenting, please, Betty Meetu.

All the same, I kept being the silent spectator as ever, and here I am finally responding , and still with you till the end :) (i hope that's not coming too soon though!.:(...) <br /><br />I am very happy to know two other people wrote in from India, and I hope there were more after I last commented :)<br />Actually, my meeting with the Great Betty was pure chance...about few years ago, when I was sifting through paperbacks in an old bookstore in India.. I was trying various mills&boon editions to find those stories which comforted my romantic needs. I bought my very first Betty Neels, 'A Girl named Rose'. At first, honestly, the medical details began to go over my head a bit... But I actually read that book 3 times… And Betty just grew and grew on me. Somewhere, I found comfort in her predictability, her depictions of the solid determined young women, and the RDDs , and the fact that I knew nothing would go wrong and the end will be happy...all this topped with 'lashings of whipped cream'- the beautiful details of the glorious picture the Great Betty's words painted in my mind... the food, the travel, the clothes and of course- the romance. It was after this first book, that I hunted down a few more Betty books( I found the ‘Daughter of the manor’ and ‘The Girl with green eyes’ to my delight:)) at the same store and there was no looking back ever since :) I felt a joy that I could call pure...It is probably the lack of lusty descriptions and soaring passions, that made her stories find more focus on the other joys of everyday life, like the sumptuousness of a good meal, the comfort of an Uncrushable jersey dress, the first time one of the characters falls in love ...it sounded more real and surreal at the same time! I don't know how that can happen ;) I can just go on, but I fear I have babbled a lot, so let me save up my talk for the rest of the topics. I should probably comment more on the topics, guess it will keep me from babbling all over one topic like this one ;)<br />The world of Betty Neels is very special to me, and this amazing blog makes it all the more special! :)<br />Thank you Betty van den Betsy and rest of the Betty gals :) More power and love to all of you :)<br />Betty Meetu<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-26945656760338904952012-10-16T12:16:21.609-07:002012-10-16T12:16:21.609-07:00They would not let me publish a "detailed&quo...They would not let me publish a "detailed" comment.<br />S When I did not like my former email provider (gmx -<br />P lots of spam) I changed to a different provider.

I was on the point of going back to commenting anonymously. But then I checked my options. <i>Signing up without a phone</i>. I gave them someone else's mobile phone number, received the code, typed it in, and was asked again! to supply a phone number where they would be sure to reach me if ever they needed to do so. I gave them the same number as before.
