Hello? Anybody home?

*waves shyly*

Recent events with the Wee Pook (no longer so wee) have made researching my pregnancy and the Wee Pook's early development necessary, and as I was a pretty regular poster way back then, I realized that this journal will be an invaluable tool. So, I'll be hangin' around here for a while, gathering facts, and hopefully reconnecting with ( Read more... )

Yeah, there's not much depth on facebook, is there?

Very sad.

Welcome back. Grab yourself a chair and a cup of tea. :)

Thanks, darlin'. :-)

Yep - I second that - I loathe Facebook and only retain a presence there to see what people who've left LJ (poke Owl) are up to...

:)

Yes, it has only been useful to stay in contact with people who otherwise won't respond to an email. I feel sorry for the alien anthropologist who has to sort through all those banal posts from our society.

I don't really get fb. It seems, to me anyway, to be a contest to be the most superficial. Plus, it is an opportunity for total strangers to piss on each other. Plus, I don't want everyone knowing my business. I know, I'm leaning towards the negative side of fb. I like my friend's list in here. I can be anonymous, or at least a.k.a. LJ seems more like a community where people share.

I think it can be a useful tool for keeping in touch on a superficial level, but that's just it - superficial and extraordinarily public.

If they were bars, Facebook would be the flashy/trendy bar down the street that's gone through 10 owners and themes in the same number of years, but failed to establish a regular clientele. LiveJournal would be Cheers ;-).

Heya!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned, but my nephew is autistic. He's 6 and a half, diagnosed when he was 3.

Heya!

I don't know if you have or not, but thanks for sharing that with me. I'm meeting more and more people who have a relative or a friend who has a child with autism.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad, really, but it's helpful!

hello!

I'm still around, reading - although, I haven't posted in ages............ I've been debating changing that, but haven't jumped one way or the other yet.

owlslight March 17 2011, 15:56:32 UTC

Hi!

Yeah, I hadn't even been reading for a long time. Glad you're still here, too, though. :-)
