[QUOTE="donna723, post: 185828, member: 1883"] Ha! I doubt if very many trees were sacrificed to print our little phone book! It's about 1/4" thick and has several other small towns in it besides ours. I have [U]never[/U] used 411. If I need a number I get it online or some other way. People use it at work all the time even though they're not supposed to. And then if you fall for the bit about how they can connect you to that number for a small fee, they really charge you out the ying yang! It add a lot to our phone bill every month. Even with my new glasses, I can barely read the tiny little print in the phone book! With my old ones, it was impossible So many things are printed now in type so little you need a magnifying glass to read it! This is one of my pet peeves! If I can't read it, even with brand new glasses, what about old people or someone with a vision problem? Seems very uncaring and inconsiderate to me. I once bought a package of those scalloped potatoes that you mix with milk, water and butter and bake. The instructions were printed on the box in very tiny [I]light brown[/I] type on a [I]beige[/I] background! There was about one color shade difference between the type and the background. Almost impossible to read! And I've gotten medications like ointments (both for myself and from the vet for the dogs) that come in little tubes. The instructions and dosing directions are printed so tiny that they're extremely difficult to read. Why do they do that?!?! [/QUOTE]
