Hey Friends, old and new.
It's been so long since I posted, it's a whole new experience.
It is definitely going to take a while before I feel like I know my way around here, again. Seems like everything has changed!!
But I have a specific question.
WTH is with the search function? No matter what I search for, absolutely nothing happens. And that is even when I type in the username of a friend.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

This journal is now friends only. I'm always interested in making new friends, however. So if you want to be one, please leave a comment telling me what drew you here. :)

Making this post so that a friend will get a month of free LJ. Makes no difference to me since I have a permanent account. Too bad I can't give it away.

Here is what is making me happy today.

One of my new favourite TV programs is a British series called Doc Martin. I discovered it recently on PBS. Yesterday I found out that my local library has all five seasons on dvd! Hurray! And, the library is open today, so I am going to go and grab some. That also means that I get to see it right from the beginning!

Much happiness is mine! :D

Okay, what am I missing now? I stayed away from LJ for another few weeks and came back today to catch up on my friends page.
Here I am happily reading backwards to see what's happening in everybody's lives and my friends page only goes back to Jan 31st? After that there is no more "previous page" at the bottom of the screen, just "next page" and "back to top".
I don't get it. I don't remember there being any kind of limit to how far back I could go on my friends page, before!
So what are we supposed to do, go to each of our friends' journals individually to see what they had to say last month?

SO totally NOT COOL, LJ!! :(

I haven't been around LJ very much of late and they seem to have made some significant changes since I was here regularly.

So what's with the "new friends page"? I have a cool custom layout that I like a lot and it goes away when I take their suggestion to "switch to the new friends page". So where's the advantage in that?

Does anybody know why they made these changes and do you like them?

Younger daughter posted some new pics of our granddaughter on facebook today. I really couldn't resist....points if you catch the reference. :)

Now this is my kind of Christmas! :)

The Travelling Kitty Pikachu has gone missing somewhere in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You may be a long way from there. I know I am. But please, spread the word online. Someone you know may know someone who is in a position to help find him!
