One very dead ancient Toyota

[urbandruid]

Our car is so dead.

Not in the sense that it died, but in the sense that it's gonna. Ran out to Target to get some stuff tonight, and when we came out, we noticed that one of the front tires has issues. Like it's kind of cracking. Stupid bloody useless thing.

See, the car knows. It knows that Mom got that raise and that we're getting a new car. It knows its days are numbered. And this is its answer.

So we came home and called my uncle, who is car guy, to see if he knew of a good place in town to get new tires put on. Turns out he has tires that will work, and also knows a place. He's making noises about giving them to us, the tires, but he made the mistake of telling Mom how much he paid for them. So our plan is to not even argue with him about it- and give the money to my soon-to-be Auntie. I like this plan very much, having come up with it myself.

For some reason, livejournal hates me. I keep trying to reply to comments, only to be told that I cannot reply to a comment that doesn't exist. (A comment which, by the way, is still there when I reload the page). I swear, this new way of replying to/posting comments is for crap.

And once again I am rather bored. This concerns me. It should probably concern you, too. :)

Comments

A solution to disabling the new format of comments:

Go to Console (http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/) and type in:

set disable_quickreply 1

Spiffy, thanks. Oddly enough it's a comment of yours I'm trying to reply to that it keeps telling me doesn't exist. Silly LJ.

[epsilon-delta.livejournal.com]

Darn! Did LJ wipe me out of existence again? It keeps doing that! *g*

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

So it would seem. Check this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/epsilon_delta/343.html?replyto=599) out.

Way weird. I tried deleting & reposting, but it won't let me delete because the comment does not exist. D'ohh!

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Okay, that settles it. LJ is too, too strange.

[epsilon-delta.livejournal.com]

O_O And now the comments have all disappeared. Check back on the page again. They're gone.

It's very strange, it was only one thread in a friend's journal. It was there, and then it wasn't. I kept trying to reply to her comment, and it kept telling me the comment didn't exist. There probably was a news post about it, but I don't pay too much attention to that stuff. I probably should, so I'll spend less time wondering when this stuff came up. :) So LJ's been slow for you, too? I thought it was just my computer, or my connection. It often is.

*lol* I think you're right about electronics having personalities of their own. I know my laptop does, so why not the car?

My scanner was like that once. It still does it now and then, and I'm really not sure why. It just randomly decides, "nope, not going to scan for you today, hahah!"

I think I might know what LJ's problem is. I saw a comment posted in a friend's journal, about how someone had gone on NPR and raved about livejournal. I'm not sure, but I think it could be possible. If we just got a ton of new users and people surfing around... I just hope it mellows out soon, whatever it is. Took me three tries to log in, and each try took a while.
