If you're not on my notify list, then you didn't get the previous quick announcement about how I'm taking a little break from my journal. Now that you've read this, you know.

I'm not mad or sad or anything -- I just need to regroup a bit. I'm sure I'll still be around this forum and my other haunts. I'm leaving town tomorrow and won't be back until late Saturday, so when you don't hear from me until then, that'll be why. Okay? Okay.

Back to y'all's regularly scheduled conversations on the same bat time and channel...

This response will put this announcement in the New Answers area too.

Gwen, I haven't gotten your notify list mail yet, so thanks for posting here.

Sorry about that, Anita. I think I accidentally used the old mailing list instead of the latest one.

Oh Thank Jebus, cuz I seriously was thinkin' that Gwen HATED me all of sudden!

I mean, maybe you do, but that would have been a definite sign.

Hope you had a fun weekend, Gwen.

Keli, I pride myself on hiding my hatred for you much better than that.

I did have a fun weekend, thanks. In fact, I'm dying to write a journal entry about it. I can't decide whether to do so or not. Some hiatus-taker I am.

Someone tell me the truth -- is the new bunny-lily thing on my site unviewable because I was lazy with the coding, or are the images too slow to download, or are people finally tired of my whining and they just can't be bothered to click on the new stuff and read it? Or is the new stuff sucky and lame? Or is it that...

Okay, I'll quit now.

Gwen, we won't hold it against you if your hiatus is brief. In fact, we'll be thrilled.

Oh, and I didn't realize there was anything besides just the bunnylily page until just now.

Hey, I clicked on all of the bunnylilies.

How can you tell if people are clicking on it or not, anyway??

-- Anonymous, November 13, 2000

I can tell by looking at my site logs. It says how many times each page has been viewed in the past week.

(Actually, though, I haven't even checked them recently. I just assumed from e-mails I've gotten that people weren't seeing the stuff. I worried because I took a shortcut when creating the image maps.)

Gwen, I rushed right in headfirst and read everything on every page as soon as I could. It was all quite unlike anything I've ever seen (or, in some ways, read) on your site. Let me just say that I dug it! Damn, next time you want to go on hiatus, if you're going to do something like that to your web pages again, go right ahead (but hurry back because we all miss you).

Thanks, y'all. I appreciate your comments, even though I'm usually too self-centered to remember to acknowledge them.
