Hello all! This note is to let you know that I've done another friends cut. This was a "voluntary" cut, meaning if you were cut, you did not opt in on the poll that I posted last week. As it was a "voluntary" cut, if you just missed the poll and would like back on my friends list, I'm fine with that. Just leave me a comment here letting me know you're still around on LJ-land (I imagine most people cut were dormant journals as you've migrated to twitter and/or facebook and we're friends there--I know this is true of at least *two* of you) and I'll add you back. I just don't want dormant journals friended in case they are hacked and you do not notice. It's a security issue, not because I don't still like you! So, if you are still around and just missed the poll, lemme know and I'll add you back. :-)

Friends cut.

You know the usual spiel, nothing personal. Either you never post here anymore because moved on to another networking site and we're friends there (there are a few of you this applies to) or you never post and never comment or some combination of the above. I just really feel like my flist is too big and I need to trim down to only active journals.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I am applying for adopt_a_mom and one of their requirements is a nursing story, so here is mine.

( Cut to save friends' pages )

I've been thinking about it for awhile, since I have become increasingly uncomfortable about the fact that I post about very personal things in this journal and there are so many people reading, some of whom I barely know. I'm finally getting around to doing it.

If I cut you it's for one of three reasons:

a) You never post anymore
b) You never respond to my posts/my responses to your posts
c) I just feel that our paths have gone in separate directions

It's not personal. God bless.

Due to a desire to protect my identity, and that of my friends and family members, I have had to make this journal friends only. If you'd like me to add you, please add me to your LJ, then comment and let me know how I know you. If I don't know how I know you, I will not add you (part of that whole, protecting myself and my loved ones thing).
