Small friends cut for people I haven't had contact with in quite a while and/or dead journals. Nothing personal. Let me know if you think there was a mistake.
I feel I have survived only because of my recent knowledge about fruit fly infestations... or is that experience? Yes, experience... I have gained no knowledge except to understand that I still have them.
Anyway, there can be no other explanation as I have been such a bad LJer of late.
Don't be silly. I guess I've never explained this (I always meant to do up a "get to know me" post), but the real value I see in LJ is in fostering human relationships. Even if someone abandons LJ, as long as we "connected" in some way at some point, it will take me a very long time to let them go, usually a couple of years; smaller connections will take less time, but still a long time. And if people comment and I know they're reading at least sometimes, that counts for a lot. Most of the people I defriended I've never really connected with.
So, that's all to say, I've connected with you! Much more than over fruit flies - mostly relationship stuff, I think, but other things too. So no worries. :)
Based on my post circa about a week ago, you must know that I'm in the same boat. I've been a very, VERY bad LJ friend and can't expect the same from others. I completely understand that people get busy and can't post/read; or even if they are spending time online, perhaps they have migrated, in whole or in part, away from LJ. I judge not. :) (Lest I be judged.)
Mine seem to be gone from the kitchen, but I see them from time to time in the bathroom and the living room. Hmm.
I was lazy about attacking my infestation. All I really did was take the garbage out, do the dishes, and put out a wine trap. I had a bad infestation last summer for a whole month and believe me none of those things would have helped. I had to put any non-sealed foods in bags or the fridge; wipe down *everything* (the kitchen got a thorough cleaning); put out multiple traps; try the vacuum method, etc. I pretty much tried every tip I found on the internet.
Good luck with your infestation! What have you tried so far?
