Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every second or third time I come back to look at my Friends Page, LJ is letting me view fewer and fewer entries.

Ok, the catch up didn't work. It's been so long since I logged into LJ that I've completely missed a whole pile of entries (LJ Friends won't go back far enough) so if there's something you think I should know, comment here or drop me an email (this username at hotmail dot com ( Read more... )
