Happy Birthday Mark!
Wow, I admit I haven't logged in here in a long time, but I came on to with mblj a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I couldn't pull up his name on my friend's list - because my bio and my friends list were both gone! Was it all deleted by the site?
So I go to my friends page and see posts by the few people still active here, which leads me to believe my friends list must still be here somewhere or nothing would show up on the friends feed page.
Then I start reading kishenehn 's post about LJ/DW and I didn't know what he was talking about until I read some of the comments and started figuring it out and wondering if that had something to do with it. But no, apparently something changed in Chrome or one of my extensions like ghoserty that's blocking my ability to see certain content because I went to IE (which I NEVER use) and it's all still there So I logged in using IE and suddently I get this pop up about the change in their rules, which I didn't get when I logged in on Chrome. Weird. Unless I can figure out where the problem is, I guess I'll have to use Firefox or IE now for LJ, but I use a lot of the same extensions on Firefox, so that one may not work either.
I'm also a little sad to see a couple of names gone from my friends list including garyjr. He hasn't been here for years and I didn't really ever expect him to post again, but he was how this all started for me 15 years ago back when you had to get an invitation. I'm sure he must have deleted his account with all the LJ hoopla I was unaware of until I saw Mark's above mentioned post, but seeing his name still there was a little nostalgic comforting somehow. And pagebear who was a very nice guy and worked for a company that made a certain kind of . . . errrr . . . . films of the adult nature has a line through his name too. I wonder if he deleted his account or whether they banned it? I don't remember him posting any content that would get it banned, but who knows. Do they look for key words?
It's like we're living in bizzaro-world since the election. So much to say about all that, but I don't have the energy or the will right now. I'm tired of it all.
But I'm still alive. Ha! Still making monthly trips to the Bay Area and feeling my days are numbered here in LA due to parental issues. It's just geting too hard to manage everything I need to manage for them from here and go back and forth so much. Other than that, I rarely leave my little enclave here, I'm still walking everywhere, still hitting the gym several days a week and staying in shape,, but nothing like the shape I used to be in. I'm too old to care now. LOL. I did make it to San Diego to visit a friend early last month and that was fun. I hadn't been down there forever, But then my mother went in the hospital. She's home now and OK, but I was up there for 3 weeks and just got home a few days ago. I actually bought a floor mat thing and was sleeping on the floor at the hospital at night so she was never alone. So nice to sleep in my own bed again!
Anyway, hope you had a happy birthday mblj , And to anyone else who sees this, hope you are well!
