Messages between Yurii and catsuberalles
Hey, great to hear from you, and thanks for all the compliments and enthusiastic response! Sorry about the curve balls in music lol names, I do that for different reasons, e.g. not giving away the punch line. re "Edmund Fitzgerald," check out the Wikipedia article, it's well-researched, very interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald re redoing Silvertoes' rubber band video, I thought of it, but I'm too lazy. Maybe later... *stretch* *yawn* *purr* *snore*
OK, I quickly ED your reply to Ben. Egg-on-face here, didn't realize that *you* didn't realize how your comments were being posted (and that your info was being posted against your wishes). Nuts, I should have realized. I've deleted my comments/replies 'cause they contained that info, and it's a bit tricky. Move your mouse over to the right side of the comment, and a faint 'x' will appear. Click the 'x' and a deletion confirmation box will appear at the top of the comments section (I think that's where it is). If you don't see it immediately, scroll up; it flummoxed me for a while before I realized.
OK, Ben mis-directed this message to you (posted to me by mistake): "Hi Yurii, Yes, we swapped out the commenting system from Wordpress to Facebook. You are not required to use your FB account to comment to control trolls and spam. You can always use your Cheezburger account when it comes to direct messages like this. As for comments, you can pick another pseudonym by using your Hotmail, Yahoo, or AOL accounts to log into comments. Please make sure you log out of FB if you'd like to comment using another name or not your real name."
I hear you, that's what I told Ben, please make it easier for people to comment (using plain ol' ICHC sign-in). Daily treatment, yikes. Does that mean lasting long-term improvement? Sure hope so.
It's distressing to me because most people refuse to use FB (me included) and won't jump through the hoops required to post comments, and I miss people's comments...I was pleasantly surprised to see yours. *I* _have_ to be able to comment, hence the throw-away Yahoo account. Ben said (in response to my question) that they'd like to make commenting possible with ICHC account alone, but the commenting system is tied into FB, and the FB system won't allow it. They're working on it... PS If you sign out of FB before loading a lol you'll be given options again (I'm guessing).
Right, votes are still AWOL, dunno what they're planning for that. I just faved the lol (into my "non-cat: human/inanimate" collection) and it isn't showing up because of the delay. I find the delay annoying, but what the hey, I'm glad it's back at all.
that's funny, I thought I faved that one. one sec...
PS re "who faved": for example, on the "Head Games" music lol, I saw two people favorite it in quick succession, but it took over an hour for it to show in the list.
...so what you're saying is, cheezburger no longer helps you feel BETA? OK, that doesn't even get a :rim shot: The VA...in my dreams there's someone in cheezland with enough pull to get that agency off its collective duff, but then I wake up and...it's agonizing to be unable to be of any assistance whatsoever. I know the feeling of being trapped by finances, and my situation still doesn't compare. Excuse me, I'm at a loss for words and helpful ideas at the moment...but I'll always be here to "listen." re BETA, the "who favorited" feature is back in a different form just in the last few days, but the faves don't show up immediately - there's a delay, and it's variable. "Depends on server load," Ben says. Other than that...King Solomon was given a ring that read "this too shall pass." Let's hope so.
Um...you haven't been around much either? 'cause I'm "here" to thank you for the purr-ayers and good wishes, and I'd be happy to reflect a bunch of good feeling right back atcha. Really, all my cheezfrends have been amazing - thank you for being one of them. ** Liked the lols! Please forgive me for faving "medieval cat" only for a short time (so others can see it); it's a _great_ lol, I just can't get past my unease with clothes on cats. (Sometimes I'll forget and fave one and then unfave when I realize later.) The lol you did of Silvertoes is _great_! He hasn't lost his "kitten curiosity," tho' he doesn't seem to break things while investigating. heh. ** re eyedoc & Lee-Ann, that would be a real Am-trek for you to take. :insert rimshot: Never mind the dough, I pray you're always feeling well enough for that kind of marathon, whether you travel or not. Best purrs to you, TTYL.
arg feel guilty about sticking to alpha order, which leaves you last. It's so hard to keep track otherwise! I'll get to your messages, please don't be offended. Kinda overwhelmed right now. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for all.
"Hmmm, all doze coinz could cause a Quiet Riot...." - yep, this place is full of "Animals" that live in a"Crowded House," and that could lead to "Madness" - "Wham!" just like that. ** "Re: Navel stuff - I always tell people that I'm giving up my belly button for Lent" - every time I hear "lent" it sounds like the past tense of "lend." As in, "Lent me your ears and I'll filk you a tune, and I'll try hard to make it fu-nny." Or, to paraphrase Jackson Browne in "Running on Empty," "If I can get you to smile before _you_ leave..." Looks like I succeeded at least a little bit, eh? Good, good...'cause now I'm falling over, need to go back to z-land. Buenas no-more-cheez-for-right-now!
"Silly Chris, phrasebooks are - " not your only source. "I'm tellin' ya" stars21 had it right. Check, you'll see. http://www.stars21.com/
