Lost Property

 

Yesterday I discovered I had lost my school pencil case.  I searched my house high and low in all the familiar places, but no avail.  I searched again, no luck.  Then I started to panic!  I know a pencil case is a really silly thing to worry over.  But I was panicking because my school timetable is in it.  I can get that replaced, but I can’t stand the thought of being unorganised for the new school term.

 

 

I’m much calmer now and I’m not worried.  I know it’ll turn up somewhere.  Isn’t it funny?  If you spend ages looking for something, it usually appears right under your nose.  Or sometimes, you set out looking for an object, and you find something that you lost ages ago.

 

 

Do you think J-land has been quiet since the Christmas?  Are AOL Alerts down?  I have not received many “New Entry” or “Comment Added” alerts.  Maybe its AOL’s belated Christmas gift to us, GRR!

 

Have a great weekend.

Well Leigh as you said Look for something and it never seems to turn up.Then as soon as you turn your back and forget about it it it seems to be right there.I do hope it appears soon.I have heard alerts havn't been working for some people.Knowing AOL anything can happen any time of the year!!! Keep looking Leigh you might find yourself something else much nicer than your pencil case.I did  last week,when I had misplaced something.I found £30-00p I didn't know I had left hanging around in a book LOL!! Take care

Hmmm.......how can you be calm LOL? I'm always misplacing things. But when someone else loses something, I'm the first to find it, figures. Yep, alerts we're down. First time for me since joining J-land. What a bummer, makes ya want to swift kick someone's ........I have noticed things have slowed down a bit since Christmas. I believe it's just people trying to regroup thier energy after the busy , hectice holidays. Hang in there it will pick up soon hon. (Hugs) Indigo

Hey Leigh !!!!!!!

I hope that you found your school pencil case. I hate when I lose something I search and search and search until I find what I've been looking for.

I too think that J-Land has been quiet since Christmas. I haven't received any Comment Added alerts to my journal maybe my entries are just putting people to sleep. Thanks for sharing this entry. You and I think alike these days. Take care Leigh you might want to put an alarm on your pencil case when you find ha,ha,ha, ha. Byyyye for now !!!!!!!!!!!

Leigh, are you sure you haven't turned some alerts off ?  I'm still getting a lot of them everyday.  Of course, I'm "plugged in" to about 40 journals.  Sometimes it's overwhelming.  Hope you find what you're looking for...it's very frustrating when that sort of thing happens.  Take care and have a good rest of your weekend...Linda in Washington state  http://journals.aol.com/lsfp1960/LindasWorld/

I too have noticed it MUCH quiter, I have around 80 or so journals on my alerts...not getting them like usual.
I know we've had a couple of episodes where alerts were not working in the past couple weeks, but supposed to be fixed now. :)
