A change of attitude, an expression of gratitude and a good time had by all.

When all of this ad banner mess started, I was feeling like our community had been destroyed. I was angry and hurt. I'm still very upset about how the ad banners were implemented but I'm starting to understand that the community hasn't been destroyed it has just changed. Before our community was like a (cyber) housing development with just one builder - AOL. Now I think of the community as having expanded...there are more builders now like Blogspot, Xanga, LiveJournal, MySpace.com, BraveJournal and the international flavor of AOL. I think a community looks better with a variety of builders (in cyber space and in the real world).
Oh, we've certainly had some 'construction issues' with our (cyber) moves, but we're getting settled in and let's face it, the people are just the same....many are just in new houses (and some are in multiple houses....their summer homes, winter homes, etc. LOL)
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has taken the leadership roles to let AOL and the outside AOL world know that customers want and deserve some respect. Many voices and pens have been busy standing up to AOL and letting them know the error(s) of their ways! It's been like (cyber) David facing/fighting (cyber) Goliath....and AOL as the (cyber) giant is getting lots of stones flung at it by the (cyber) David(s) who sprung up out of J-Land!
You can effect a change in the environment AOL, but you can't change the people. Many friendships have been born here! I had the pleasure yesterday of spending a few hours at my home with three remarkable women. I would never have met them if I had not been a member of J-Land. We all live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and plan to keep the momentum going! The album below has the few pictures I took yesterday (some of which are blurry). Donna is in the black printed top, Judith is in the red sweater and her identical twin, Julie, is in the pink cardigan. Ladies you really brought the holiday spirit into my home yesterday (I apologize again for not having my decorations done). I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to the next one!

I'm not getting alerts for your journal! Hmm. But I've added this one to bloglines along with your blogspot journal. Hopefully I'll catch your entries now. :-)

I'm hoping that this time will soon pass, it's very sad that the Community isn't quite the same. But I think we can all get it behind us, and you're doing your part. I was so pleased to see tht you had gotten together with some good friends from Journal Land.

I went and visit your album and wow...that's wonderful to be actually meeting and seeing some of those you've met though online journals. I hope to meet Penny (schnoozebeary) she lives about an hour away from me.
btw..I love the pillow I saw in one of the pictures (coffee pillow) *grin*
and you have a beautiful home.
happy Holidays,
Gem :-)
