However, one thing: light/white words on a black background is awfully bad on the eyeballs. After a minute or two it is way too much visual fatigue. Not sure why so many bloggers do it this way. Mind you: I do know that I can simply highlight (or "Select All") the whole page and the problem's over, LOL.

The moment when the woman sees something (the audience doesn't get to see what!) in the window as she's about to drink a toast and lets out a scream has got to be one of the most frightening moments in the whole series.Brother Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176233134588988372noreply@blogger.com
