Hi Question:

[debmommy22]

I am trying to add my new credit card to site and it won't let me. I think LJ has been having problems. Has anyone else had this problem? My old card is cancelled. They said extending my package for 3 more months, but I have to pay to keep my Icons and account eventually. Let me know if anyone has any info. Just keeps giving me an error message

Oh I didn't know we got 15 icons without an account. I remember when they gave us only 3 icons unless we paid them. Yeah I will make copies of them. I have them all in folders, but will have to search through them all again. I had no idea Russia owned this site. Yikes!

Happy Birthday! I am 55 now. I hope it is not too bad, I know you had stomach and other problems. My problems with sleep is really bad because of my hypomanic episodes. Being Bipolar sucks. I am on meds for it, but now they are making me hungry all the time like psych meds eventually do with me and I am fighting to lose weight again and not let myself get chubby again like happened after I had Alex in 2005 till I had to stop all meds in 2012. I lost 25 pounds and I don't want to gain that all back. Most of my pants are tight in the waist again. I am not happy.

Oh btw. I did not vote for our President. He is a joke. Don't want to get political just wanted you to know he has really messed stuff up that the former President set in place that would have likely stopped the war from starting or at least it would have been stopped sooner. Just my opinion. I know you have your own Prime Minister I think.

It's why all payments are now in roubles so I get charged extra for the currency switch *sigh* If it wasn't for the Torchwood communities on LJ, I would have left years ago but I want to retain access to what fics still remain.

My health problems keep getting worse and I'll likely have to have more tests soon. I was hoping to wait until I had my Covid booster, but I don't know if I'll get the choice. Have to get another appointment with the Doctor soon because the treatment he put me for a month isn't helping.

Roubles? Great, I know nothing about this. Maybe it is best that my new card never got added to pay for this year. I know I am not here much so kind of stupid to stay. You are one of maybe 2 or 3 people that remember me here. I always enjoyed talking to you. I know you are not on Facebook so can't find you there. I am mad at FB anyway, why I wanted to come back here and the icons are fun, but kind of not worth it anymore. I hate this war, and everything is so bad. I feel so much for those poor people.

I noticed some of my icons are not active because I cannot pay but just not going to worry about it. I did send a reply to an email LJ sent me about people having trouble with payments. I don't know if they will help me or not. They don't have a phone # just like FB. I am on Instagram more now, have made some friends there. It is fun going Live with them.

There is still that free place you go and post your fics Dreamwidth. I haven't checked, but I should still be on there. I don't pay there and I have 15 icons unless they changed it. Do you still post there? Place we might could go if this site closes or won't let us on. I mean you can be on here free I think too, just not many icons.

I am so sorry you sick. I understand. My bipolar illness worsens with age. My sleeping is still a problem. I am on so many meds and I build up tolerances to them. Just crap way to have to live. They cause hunger and weight gain too which I hate. I am depressed more than happy and makes it hard to get things done. My son is 17 now, he is having major problems too. I know health care where you are is not good. I wish they would do more for you.

I want to come back and check out your fics sometimes. I always enjoyed reading your Jack and Ianto fics. I still love them. To me they are together and Ianto never died or if he died he came back in one of those fix it fics.

Hugs to you! I think about you often. Sorry I am not around all the time.

Deb.

I'm still on dreamwidth, under the same name as here, and still posting my fics both there and on LJ. I prefer dreamwidth these days, the people who run it do a great job and keep everyone up to date with any problems that occur and what they're doing to fix them.

I hate the war too, so many people trying to get away. I don't want to let Russia have any more 0f my money so when I run out of paid time I probably won't renew again, just stick with a basic free account.

Got to organise my Covid booster, and after that I'll get a doctor's appointment. One thing at a time is all I can deal with.

I'm still writing and posting fics, and all my Master Lists are up to date. Feel free to poke around my journals, here or on dreamwidth. Everything's there.

Remember me to Alex. Sorry you're both having a tough time.

I may start going to Dreamwidth more then. I did get a response from LJ, but not sure if I want to try to pay. I am not here much, seems kind of silly. 15 icons can be enough anyway. Also don't like that they are owned by the Russians. Dreamwidth sounds great. I will probably go over there now and I guess at some point they will get rid of my professional account here. They are giving me till July anyway.

Yes want to read your fics when I can. I enjoy them.

I got my Covid booster a while back. So far I have not gotten it or Alex. I hope we don't get it. My brother and his family got it but they got over it. My brother had it the worst and they had their vaccinations so hopefully not as bad as it would have been without it.

Thank you about Alex, I will let him know.

Oh I am mad, somehow I scratched my reading glasses today. They are expensive and no insurance. I am wearing my old pair right now. I will have to go get a new pair made. My close up vision is so bad now. Gets worse every year. Oh well. Things are so expensive right now too.

Oh I agree with you, don't want to pay the Russians. I don't think I am going to renew account even though I might be able to now. Not sure, they told me how, but didn't see where to add a charge card, but decided to wait. Probably just keep free account too.

A lot of people ate migrating to dreamwidth. It's a lot busier there than it was. I've had an account there since 2009 I think. I'm still posting here, but dreamwidth is my online home.

My booster is booked for the 15th, unless it gets cancelled. My second vaccine kept getting cancelled and I had to keep re-booking. I can get it done very locally in a pharmacy. When the vaccines first came out, people had to travel to vaccine centres. My neatest was in the next city, way too far for me to go, especially since the one-way system is complicated and I don't know my way around it. So I had to wait until I could go somewhere closer.

Your brother was lucky he was vaccinated. He might have ended up in hospital otherwise. I seem to have avoided catching it, but I hardly go anywhere and I always wear a mask when I'm around other people.

Yes, you might as well just leave paying and make do with a free account here. I managed for months that way.
