Yeah, so this happened
On July 1, the Upper Valley of the CT River, where we live, had what is called a "training" event of storms: the storm cells line up like box cars and throw down inches of rain at a time, one right after the other, unceasing for an entire day ( Read more... ) -
House & Medical Fund
I don't know if it was someone here who donated recently to our House & Medical Fund, but it couldn't have come at a better time. I was down to $5.41 in my checking account and we were wondering what we were going to do about food. Being out for an entire week from the bookstore due to my spine & IBS has not helped matters any ( Read more... ) -

So ... LJ
The fuss over LJ hasn't settled yet, and I haven't been posting as much as I had in the past (most of my friends migrated to Tumblr, changed their names, and disappeared into the ether), but I do still read the friends that remain on LJ and who have been crossposting from Dreamwidth.

Rumors of my demise...
Despite my absence of posting, I'm still here, and I still read daily -- though less and less of my friends are posting here. It makes me sad ( Read more... )
