Life, Interrupted

In case you have missed this discussion -- here is a good explanation of why the cross-posting of "locked" links, whether the original post OR COMMENTS to it, should never, ever happen. I checked very carefully when I did the initial link between LJ and Facebook to make sure that locked posts never traveled across that link.

The minute I find out that a locked post has been violated, there won't be any more private posts, period. Only public ones. The public post link-up was a big help when I was not well enough to remember to go to multiple places. I would hate to see LJ outlive its usefulness, because then I'd have to go build a private blog. But that could happen.

That explanation:

Andrew Sullivan picked up a link from a Brit trapped in the northland by her spouse's love for the bleak wildness of it all. So, she gave up the day job and is trying to survive her kids and the north. Up until now, I suspect the blog has merely been her lifeline to friends and family far away. But now, we've found her. I've only read the last 3 posts, and laughed several times (making chocolate crispies and the dollhouse at school killed me) -- I MUST write for the next hour -- but here's her profile:

Moving to Northumberland from London was not my idea. My husband was in fact the only one terribly keen on the move. When I asked my younger son what he thought, he confided: "Bears might eat me". "There are no bears," I told him as I looked into the darkness and the growling started.
