I've been posting on Livejournal since August 6, 2003. That's nearly 19 years and considering that Livejournal has only been around for 23 years, that's most of its life span. In that time, I've accumulated the following ( Read more... )

I'll be damned...LJ support actually answered my question. It turns out that anonymous commenting is currently disabled for reasons that were not explained. LJ developers are aware of the issue and working to fix it but in my opinion they need to step it up...this has been going on for nearly a year if not more. And now, since I know they'll answer ( Read more... )

Bummed out about my stupid journal. I tried switching my layout to one of the newer themes, knowing that it might not work and if it didn't, I wouldn't be able to get my Findus theme back, and sure enough, that's exactly what happened. I've sent a ticket into the LJ support email asking for help on the issue about non-LJ accounts not being able to ( Read more... )

I just scrolled back through my friends feed, which was all colossal and comics and made it all the way to June 7 before there was an actual post from an actual person on my friends list (and that, one that I've never met in person and probably never will). So, I guess I'm not the only one being lame about blogging. I'm still writing my daily good ( Read more... )

Having a pinched nerve in my neck is the weirdest sensation. If I tilt my head back slightly, my right hand fills with pins and needles. The moment I bend my head forward, it disappears...mostly. I have the faintest sensation of needles in my knuckles even afterwards. If I don't tilt my head forward, the pins and needles intensify until my elbow ( Read more... )

Geez louise, my last post was in MAY. How do I manage to go this long without writing when my intentions have paved the way to hell and back, they're so good. Part of the issue is my ongoing, renewed struggle with the pinched nerve in my neck, which began again with a vengeance about a month ago. Just sitting at the computer causes it to pinch, ( Read more... )

It's the last day of a 4-day weekend and Mors Dag here in Sweden. We had Thursday and Friday off for Ascension day and a bridge day, and it's been a relatively quiet, very relaxing weekend for the most part...except for some major bummer stuff that happened on Friday ( Read more... )

I've had this list for a while, before we went to Rome, in fact, but I was waiting until I had finished writing about our vacation after our return. We had a bumper crop of recommendations for next year's book group books: FORTY-SIX books to choose from. GAH. I actually hope that the organizer will cut the max to 3 per person in the future, because ( Read more... )

No rain at all for our last full day in Rome: 26C and sunny. We headed out and walked down the Via Nazionale to the beautiful Palazzo delle Esposizione where they were holding an exhibition of the world press photo of the year plus installations on many of the contenders and past winners. Sobering and disturbing to see and read about as so many of ( Read more... )

A big day and a big attraction: the Vatican! We were up at 8, breakfasted by 9 and it was another gorgeous sunny day. We took the Metro almost all the way to the Vatican and then stood in several lines: for entrance, for security, to exchange our vouchers for tickets, to pick up audio guides. We got in just after 11, which was almost an hour ( Read more... )
