I have several different linklists going that I made with Yoshi's EE linklist module. There's one that I dump links that are on other rolls where the author has decided to stop blogging or the blog has gone in a direction I no longer find interesting to read on a regular basis. I keep them as a reminder of those people I used to love reading as well as a reminder to check to see if some of them start up again. I never permanently delete a link until the site is no longer available.

As I was moving links today, I got a little sad. So many sites where some monumental event happened and the blogger decided to move elsewhere to become anonymous and I wasn't privy to the new location. So many that closed up with no explanation or goodbye. So many that I enjoyed and have absolutely no idea what ever happened to that person. Isn't it weird that you can grow so attached to the people you meet online without ever really having met them?

Then I got to thinking about how many times I've thought of just chucking this whole project and starting anew somewhere. There are a few people who have found this site that I wished they hadn't.

Anyway, if I used to read you back in the day and you somehow find me again, I just wanted to let you all know I was thinking about you and wishing you well.

OK, heads up! It's going to be funky around here a lot today. I've vowed to fix the slow loading today so I can move onto working on a new theme. Since I totally removed my sidebar and it's still slow, yet none of my other sub sites on this Expression Engine install are slow, it's something going on in this particular blog. I may break something, but it's backed up in it's original state, so I can reinstall that at any time. Just thought it fair to give you guys a warning and yes I know about it. Hopefully I'll find and fix the problem and coming to visit me won't be such a chore.

Apparently, I'm not.

I just came from visiting Bug's site and she posted a link where you can determine if you're one of the "cool" bloggers. I'm a B-lister. *sigh* I may as well give up blogging. I'm not one of the popular kids.

Go here and see how you rate in the blogging popularity contest.

OK, I've seen a theme around at least a couple of wordpress blogs that looks like a manila file folder. I can't remember whether I saw it on a fellow postie's site or if it was on my Thursday Thirteen rounds this week. I'm kicking myself for not writing down where I saw it or bookmarking it. I'd really like to use it for my weight loss blog. If you know what the heck I'm talking about, could you point me to where it is? Thanks!

I'm surfing around the blogosphere this morning before I move on to a craft project I want to work on. I have things I want to say and stupid blogger errors out every time I try to leave a comment. This SUCKS! You know I'm not going to go back later and try to comment again. The moment is lost.

I guess the Mercury Retrograde is in full effect now!
