LJ wants us to lure friends back with paid account time. Huh. Much as I miss folks and would love to see old familiar user names back again (hello dear long-time-no-see folks, if you should be lurking! *wave-glomp*) I just don't see that going over well. Although if anyone's particularly particularly desperate for a month of account time for some ( Read more... )

Yeah, I think the Age of Journaling may be coming to an end. I know a lot of people fed up with the constant DDOS attacks and the way they'd make changes noone wanted and had to be worked around always opt out. Shrugs, I still stick around because I do not like Tumblr on a number of levels, but I really doubt free 'paid' time is going to bring anyone back to LJ.

Oh, just watching wild bunnies bopping around outside, I can't imagine having one inside! Gandalf must be a very patient cat.

Possums are very cute when they're not backed into a corner hissing at you.

Boo for work-craziness, but yay that the personnel mix seems to be settling in.

Velociraptor screech lessons? Best aunt ever.

I am so ready for it to be spring.

Yeah, the DDOS attacks were not their fault, but the constant out-of-touch responses to their user base (like this initiative - just took a look at some of the comments to the "get your friends back" post and the response is...not positive, to say the least. I'm not going anywhere soon, even if it's a bit quiet these days - tumblr has some fun bits, but I really haven't been able to figure out how to have a decent conversation.

Bunny's shoving at the puppy pen right now, wanting out - I think I've got it secured this time. She's still got a bit to work on her potty manners before she can be a house rabbit - she put the droppings in the litter box, but she's done a few pee spots on the carpet and I need to figure out how to keep her out from behind the couch where all the power cords converge. Gandalf has hissed and swatted at her a few times when she's practically bulldozed him, lol, but she doesn't seem fazed. The other two kitties flee in horror, or watch the scary bunny from a safe perch ( ... )

LJ's my first online home, it's my comfy place ^^

Tonight bunny was munching on the cat kibble of all things! I'm sure that's not recommended, so I moved it up out of reach. Gandalf grows more and more disgusted XD

Oliver was making lovey dovey lip-smack courtship noises to old lady Flaily-possum, which was pretty cute, except she was not thrilled and would have chomped him on the nose through the puppy pen if I hadn't intervened. Possums. Not so much for the snuggles.

I find the young 'uns take quite naturally to loud, obnoxious, screechy noises, so I'm sure there's hope! XD

The working with animals is a totally awesome part of my job! The other 90% of it is working with humans and red tape, which is sometimes not as awesome ^_~

'Free paid account' time? Yeah, not an incentive for me.
Besides, I tend to lurk more than anything else - need to remember to comment more, instead of simply browsing and bookmarking favs.

Stray Bunny sounds like a handful. Wouldn't mind owning a bunny myself, but considering how I remember to take care of the yard, poor things would likely die very quickly.
Poor Gandalf - being pushed around by something you would eat under other circumstances. (And yes, while the poop in litterbox is a good thing, encountering a stranger's leavings not so pleasant).

Opossums and frogs, and work, and flowers, and staff ... yeah, I can see how that would eat up all the time and energy in the world.

Nieces are the bestest! Second only to grandkids (or so I've heard. Need to talk to some grandparents who also have nieces and nephews same age).

Yeah, the paid account was nice the few years I had it, mainly so as not to see the adds, but otherwise not a biggie. Extra icons were fun, but I forget to use the ones I have most of the time anyway.

Bunnies are very fun! Also very messy and kind of high maintenance, at least if you're doing it right. I can see getting tired of the clean up very quickly, although my garden is liking the free bunny fertilizer. Poor Gan, he has a tough life! XD

So much to do! Mostly fun stuff, but still *flop*

Now my niece is making very dorky faces with her tongue sticking out whenever someone takes her picture. I'm very proud :D

My grass will need mowing by next week - if it dries out enough! Thunderstorms and heavy downpours the last few days and more tomorrow and Friday, so things are very soggy.

I get a whole day off tomorrow, w00t!

It's always a delight when you stop by ^_^ *glompcling*
