Good morning, fellow readers! This is my very first read-a-thon, and I'm really excited to be doing this! I decided to track my books read in 2013, and I am ashamed and kind of boggled by how few books it is. Reading has always been my favorite pastime, but I barely have time for it anymore since returning to work (and also juggling 3 kids and a ( Read more... )

Given some huge breaches of confidence that I've had lately, I think it's past time to do some clean up on my journal. It's years overdue. I have become more paranoid about what I post here, which has actually stopped me from posting a lot anymore, and I really need this to be my safe space again. I will be doing a very major friends cut this week ( Read more... )

Well, I've caught up on a great many pages of f-list entries, even if I didn't post a whole lot. If there's something important that I missed and I should have responded, please let me know.

Apparently that stats thingie is faulty (I wondered). But for some reason I can't download the one I used to use. Does anyone know how to get reliable lj stats? Even LJ's lj stats thing won't work for me, as everyone is an invisible user anyway.

Okay - I think I got this old one to work. Take 2?

Broccoli & lettuce are going wild in their trays. It makes me happy. Some spinach & tomato seems like it's starting to germinate, so I need either plots or more trays to put them in soon. Nothing else seems to be doing it, but I'll give them just a couple more days ( Read more... )

Thanks to qilora for passing this info along

Read how livejournal is hacking our outbound links, ignoring privacy, not informing us about these changes at all...and how to opt out

Link leads to caffeinepuppy's journal, which seems to contain the best info on this.

Ever wish you could drop me, but are terribly afraid you'll hear from me/have to explain/be all awkward? Yeah, I usually give a little good-bye message. Now's your chance to disappear with no strings attached! You'll never, ever hear from me again ( Read more... )
