Not so dear LJ,
Why, LJ, why do you insist on trying to make me use the visual editor? HTML is my preference. It's listed as my preference. It's what I've coded everything for. Quit defaulting to the visual editor. And while we're at it, can I have my small posting screen back instead of this ridiculously huge, continuously scrolling, nasty awful mess that you've made of it? And a list of my icons so I don't have to go through the entire 250 or so of them to find the one I am looking for because I can't remember what the first letter of it is saved as?
No love,
Me
So Tired of this Nonesense
Jan. 4th, 2013 01:03 pmAccessing LJ these days is like trying to load a picspam with a 56K modem. No, I take that back. That was faster. I can't even access the part where it says what is wrong, although I have a feeling it's due to all the "improvements" they are making. Maybe it really is time to make the switch.
What is Up with LJ? and Other Stuff
Aug. 6th, 2012 10:40 amToday I received 7 pages worth of email notifications for a gift I receved in March. Umm...yes, LJ, I already know I got this item...5 months ago. And even if I didn't, one would have been sufficient. Not 175. Bad LJ.
And since I'm on here, I wanted to thank everyone who sent me information of how to get free books for the Kindle...or as we are now calling it in this household Free Kindle Krappe (TM). It is nice to see that there is so much of it.
I am hard at work on the drabbles and hope to have them ready, or at least some of them, by this evening.
Why is it the one morning I have to sleep in is the only morning in a week that I get an early moring phone call? *yawns* I was really tired, too. 26 laps yesterday and a walk. Plus it was too hot to sleep until 2 a.m. Yesterday was 90 at the height of the day. Right now it is only 67, but will get higher as the day goes on. Still, a day in the 70's is much easier to tolerate around here than a day in the high 80's, like most of the last few days.
Anyone have any experience with becoming a landlord? One of the workmen working on our house to get it ready for sale is interested in renting it long term (like a two year lease). Since the market is sucky out there we are thinking about it, but have very little idea of what to consider, other than criminal and civil background checks, credit checks, and calling old landlords for payment history. We have no idea what the tax ramifications are, either.

I didn't even know you could do that. *sighs*. I was meaning to just keep the most recent few pages and delete everything else. *grumbles*. Oh, well, it needed to be cleaned out. It had 1400 messages in it, so I haven't been erasing them for a long time. Probably since summer. Bad LJ housekeeping, I know. Oh, well.
I am spending the day writing today. I was going to write last night but I ended up with a cluster headache behind my left eye so I simply went to bed early. I fell asleep with my laptop running and all of my programs open, too. Fortunately I'd saved everything I'd been working on previously. I hope I get something done today and don't start procrastinating, but I had a restless night so concentration may not be at its best. I have ideas in my head and dialogue aching to come out, but it is so gorgeous out and there are baby ducks and chicks outside.

UGH LiveJournal Fail
Dec. 21st, 2011 01:18 pmOkay, so normally I don't do this. But I am so annoyed by the new LJ changes I am going to. It makes it difficult to actually read things now and we won't even get into what they did to the icons. Go here to complain: http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/71858.html
Also send them a message by paging down to the bottom of your screen. Under about hit contact and then let them know that way as well that you do not like the changes.
Also, do you like my new icon? I got it just for this.

LJ-Cut help needed for HTML
Oct. 5th, 2010 03:32 pmCan someone give me a quick crash course on how to do an LJ-cut with html? I usually use rich text editor, but I want to learn how to do it with html.
For example, I would like to make the following paragraph say Frog Prince.
There once was a frog who became a prince. No other frog has done it since. We're convinced.
Can someone give me the code to do that, only instead of using < > brackets in the example code, use ( ) brackets so it won't cut while you're putting in the code and then I can try it out? Pretty please? Thank you.

Updated my Friends List
Jul. 30th, 2008 01:22 pmJust a heads up, I updated my friends list today. I realize that a lot of you have friended me over the last few months, and I didn't toss anyone off because unless you're a jerk why would I? And no one has been. But I did friend some of you back who for one reason or another I hadn't friended before. Some out of oops, you mean I didn't and some I was waiting to get to know, and some I was coming to realize, hey, I'm reading their fic all the time and sometimes I miss it because it doesn't show up on my f-list and T&C was swamped with stories that day.
