No more sore throat, but I have been struck voiceless! Fichtre! Very frustrating. I feel like Marcel Marceau. I wish the loved ones would quit laughing at me as it is not funny. Still scratching my head over this ping.fm. I'd like to post to FB ...and LJ at the same time, there must be a way. Ah, I hear the coffee machine whispering my name!

I've not been writing much in my LJ because I've been playing around on Facebook. Facebook is fun for all ages! How did I waste my time before I discovered Facebook? Reading? Writing books? Hmmm. I still haven't figured out the point of Twitter ( Read more... )
