I'm back! (Kinda. Or mostly sorta.)

Honestly, I'm not sure for how long, but I'm giving this another go, assuming that the problems with the Russian takeover have been ironed out in the past 4 years (I know, ironic time to come back, isn't it?)  But I need a break from all the drama going on over on the Blue Hellsite.

I've forgotten how big a learning curve this platform has for

Hi! We missed you!

Hello!
There are some differences but it's not too bad. The tricky thing was scrubbing my identifiable information to keep this unlinked from other social media searches because I'm weird like that.

It had a hiccup of going down shortly after the revival. But I haven't had too much trouble and there's even an app for it now so I can update off the lappy top.

Welcome back!

Thanks! :)

And also: I have no idea if I even *have* any personally identifiable information on here. How do you find out and how do you scrub it?

In the right upper corner there should be a mini icon of your picture and your name. If you hover the mouse over your name you will get a dropdown menu. The first item on the menu is profile. Click that.

Mine had my actual real life name and it had become at some point searchable because I logged out of google and searched for myself and LJ came up. That is not a good thing. So in the profile I just changed my real life name to my old nickname.

I don't have a dedicated email for this account, which I guess is another way it could be traceable. But I'm not as worried about that.

Know what's a horrifying thought? I started this LJ when our son was born 15 years ago. I don't want the kids finding this and reading it. They will need therapy.

Cool! Thank you! (Oh geez, I hadn't even thought about the kids, and they are getting to that age...)
