just an observation ..

While manually removing a person or two from my LJ friends list, I noticed for the 99999th time, (but only did it register now) that LJ comes back and says, "friend removed".
OK I'm not saying the only reason I remove people is that hey are no longer friends. But, I mean, how does LJ want to assume the person being removed is still a friend, given that they have just been removed? makes sense? thought not! ah well!
had a good day yesterday at singing then at rB's. It was great to just relax while he tries to convince me that records are better than CDs! I must say I don't have as poor opinion of them as I once did. -- i mean How on earth could I have a good opinion of them when sis and I played frisbies with all Dad's records as youngsters? -- they were, from then on, obviously way too scratched.
I was to go over to rickybuchanan's abode again today for her regular 'stich and bitch" session, but I am a little worse for ware today; tired; so, hope to visit another day soon.
I now have my M-power spotting my router when I do the scans, thanks to a sjtaylor but alas, we still couldn't figure out why I couldn't do anything with the connection. -- still working on that one however.
It's been over a fortnight since I took a look at my wonderful LJ friends page, which means way too much catching up to do, so instead I'll work around to some individual journals to get the latest goss.
til next time, RdFreak

The term Friend refers to the fact that anyone you friend can read protected entries unless you secure them to a friends group. You can actually read public entries from a journal with an rss feed and that would in fact be a subscriber. I guess they could have called it your snoogle page but friend was easier. As to "friend removed" according to the ystem they were an LJ friend until you removed them, and the phrase "friend removed" is present tense so you are removing an entity that LJ calls a friend from your friends page. I guess a phrase like "you have pissed khoath off your friends page" or "you have wiped khoath" would upset people a bit more.

you are always so serious!
anyway, did I remove you? if so, I didn't mean too! :)

You didn't remove me, so no problem there. regarding serious or not; it is impossible to tell in parts of anyone's entry whether they are joking, knit picking or just taking the miki in the absence of smilies. I also guess that saying "friend removed" is less judgemental than "Jan is no longer your friend on livejournal.com"
