Christmas Cards

[bk_forever]

Well, after working for all of half of yesterday on Windows Internet Explorer, LJ is once again inaccessible unless I use Google Chrome. How unhelpful. Can't believe I PAY to not be able to access my own journal on my browser of choice. I WAS thinking of paying to have more icons (I seriously need more icon space due to being active in more fandoms these days). Now I'm not sure it's worth paying out and stretching the budget for something I might not even be able to use much. I hate having to use different browsers for different sites, it makes everything fiddly. And I don't like posting to LJ using Chrome because it messes up my formatting even worse than Internet Explorer does, making the font really tiny so I have to adjust the size and keep checking the preview to make sure it's actually going to look readable when I post. *grumble*

Anyway, that's not the reason I'm posting. I wanted to say to anyone who's hoping for a card from me - if you've moved since last Christmas and haven't already given me your new address, please comment below or PM me. I'm screening comments on this post so no one else will see. I'll unscreen non-address comments about the other subject. Probably, lol!

Bear in mind, your card might not reach you until the New Year, because I'm not sure when I'll get them posted out. *rolls eyes* Christmas sneaks up on me every single year. Those who know me at all, know I am NEVER prepared, and this year is worse than usual owing to mum's declining memory and arthritis meaning I have to do all her Christmas preparations too. Twice the work and less time than usual to do it. However, I am stubborn, and I want to keep my own life ticking along as best I can. I'm not prepared to give up my few pleasures so there WILL be cards, I just can't guarantee when, lol! I found I had some part-done cards left over from last year, so amazingly it will be handmade cards again this year! YAY!

I'll delete comments after making a note of addresses as I think replying to them might un-screen them and leave them visible to everyone else. I'll reply first and I think you should still get the reply even though the comment is gone.

It does seem to be a browser thing. Another of my friends uses Firefox and hasn't had any problems, as far as I can tell it's just Internet Explorer that's causing the problems. It's a pain though.

Thanks! I've made a note of your address so I'll probably delete the comment - I think they unscreen when they're replied to and I wouldn't want it to be left out in the open. I don't think I sent you mine, so I'll PM you in a minute. I'm so disorganised you wouldn't believe it! =D

It can indeed *rolls eyes*

Oooh, good thing I checked! I had the wrong address for you! It'll go to the right place now.

Silly me, I've lost where I made a note of what crystals I sent you - can you remember?

I'm going to delete your comment as I think replying to it unscreens it, but you should still get this reply. I hope. o_O

What crystals did you send me? I'll check & get back to ya! Gotta go root through my jewel box. :)

[bk_forever]

LOL! They're sneaky, they are!

[sassysailorgirl.livejournal.com]

Ok! Here's the crystals you sent me : rhodonite, red jasper, sunstone, green calcite, lepidolite, aquamarine, moss agate, bloodstone, yellow jasper, green aventurine, and blue calcite. :) And I love them to bits!

[bk_forever]

Yay! Thank you! Don't know what I did with the original list, but I've written them down in a notebook this time. I'm so bad about knowing where things are. I thought it was in a safe place, but I never remember where the safe place is o_O

Glad you're enjoying them! =D

That's so nice of you! Thanks! ^_^
(And now you know my real name, lol)

Re: awieatti

[bk_forever]

You'll know mine when you get your card ;)

I'm happy you responded, There are so few people into FAKE these days that my FAKE-loving friends are very special, and definitely deserving of a card =)

Re: awieatti

[awieatti.livejournal.com]

Aww you said I'm special? *blush* :3
Ditto, you're basically the only active FAKE writer I know! xD But it's so important to keep obsessions alive! (When they're good obsessions, at least.)

Re: awieatti

[bk_forever]

Awww, thank you! =)

totally4ryo is still putting out chapters, not frequently but it's happening. Both her fics are long and involved though, so they require a lot more work than my ficlets. I live in hope of finding time to read, but both are parts of larger 'Verses that I haven't read any of yet.

Your card went in the post today! It might even reach you before Christmas! Maybe. I can hope!

I totally agree with you: LJ sucks, big time. My access is more than sporadic since the last week end, no access to my journal, to my friends page, and when by some miracle I can read my friends page, loading the comments takes ages. Grrr. At least, I don't paid for my account. *sigh* Anyway, even posting on LJ is now an ordeal. I hope they will solve the problem soon. It's unbearable. I considered up-grating to a paid account, mostly for the extra number of icons, but there is no way I pay for something that doesn't work.

I know what you mean. I haven't tried with Internet Explorer yet today, but if you have Google Chrome on your computer, which is free to upload, or Firefox which I think is also available free, LJ seems to work perfectly with either of those. I don't like posting via Google Chrome, but it does work well enough. I just have to remember to enlarge the text, otherwise it comes out tiny. This seems to be a compatibility problem between LJ and Windows Internet Explorer or something. I just hope it gets sorted soon.
