Am back from both business trips, with mom's surgery in the middle. It went fine and she's recouperating nicely. I will try to catch all the way up with LJ, but it may not let me get all the way back, so pokes on anything I shouldn't miss will be appreciated and loved.

Thank you! And to you too!

I'm not dead, hand to god. It's just, you know, things. I don't want to cut my FL, but I have no time anymore to read LJ at work, so I go a couple days and then binge through everyone, and by then if I had the time to post I no longer have the brainpower. Plus the longer I go without posting the more Significant something feels like it has to be to merit a post. How can I break a month of silence with "I just made a snowball from my windowsill and put it in the freezer"?

I can so relate. My last update was, like, "er, I have nothing to say! Sorry!".

On flisting, have you tried extreme filtering? Just putting ten people on a filter and reading only them for a few weeks? I suspect the rest of us will survive (for a little while, at least!) and it might help you restart your LJ conversation.

But more importantly, dude! You have a snowball in your freezer?! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :):):):):):):):):):):):)

I haven't tried filtering at all. (For reading. I have used posting filters a couple of times.) It makes me twitchy, but I suppose it might come to that. Though I think I might spend more time obsessing about who's on the filter than I save by reading it.

I do! I totally have a snowball in my freezer, that I made from my windowsill on the Day of Blizzard, and expect to keep until I can throw it at someone this summer. Or, more likely, totally forget about until I go to make a snowball and freeze it *next* winter, and find one already there.
