I SEE J-LANDERS!!!

Note:  I will put a picture of me in my journal soon.  I really don't have a problem with it, I just don't have a current picture that I like.  It may just be a pic of my face, but it will be current.

I really do like being able to put a face with a screen name or Journal, and I'm sure others feel the same way.  But I also respect anyone who isn't comfortable with putting in a picture of themselves or family members.

Now for the real reason for this entry, and it ties in with the previous one and the above paragraphs:  I keep seeing J-Landers in my town.  And they aren't really there!

Earlier this week I saw a lady in Meijer who looked to me just exactly like the pictures of Kelly (Noonmom).  I actually followed her about a bit.  It was uncanny.  I had to keep telling myself, "Kelly lives in California.  She wouldn't be in Jeffersonville, Indiana!"

A while back I swear I saw someone who looks like the pictures of Martha (lifes2odd) (who lives in Florida) getting into a car in the Kroger parking lot.  She was putting her cart in the cart corral when I spotted her, and then she stood talking to a young girl for a few minutes before she got in her car, so I had a minute to study her. 

Then this morning I was getting gas and while I was in line to pay at the counter the lady a few customers ahead of me finished paying, turned, and walked outside to pump her gas.  She looked just like Pam (lanurseprn).  Pam also lives in California, and I knew it wasn't her, but she really looked like her, smile and all!

So I guess for me the downside of seeing pictures of J-Landers is that I see their doubles all over my town, and it's a little unnerving.  Or maybe I'm developing a serious case of paranoia.  You guys aren't stalking me, are me?

I suppose alerts are still down?  This usually doesn't happen to me.  I get most journals by RSS Feeds, so I'm missing private journal alerts I know.  I don't think I've ever had a problem with getting comment alerts untilnow.  I hope AOL is working on the problem.

In other news: 

I overheard Eler Beth explaining what  ecosystem means to her friend B yesterday.  She did a pretty good job, too. 

We went to a graduation party today, and even though it was very hot, we had a nice time.  While there someone asked Eler Beth what was wrong with her arm and she said she had a "gangolian" cyst (instead of "ganglian").  That was kind of funny.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend, and I'll be around to read journals tomorrow afternoon.

Have a good night.

Nope, it wasn't me - that's so funny though. I wonder if all these people notice you staring at them? They might think you're the stalker! LOL!
This stuff going on with alerts is strange. I am getting your alerts, but only yours. I haven't got one singe other alert all weekend including my comment alerts!
Keep us posted on who else you see around town! Martha :-)

Nice to know that you notice people around you enough to see the likeness to J-Landers.  Most people go through life with their eyes pointed down.

Me thinks you might be spending too much time in J-Land!  lol  So far, Hubby has never relented about us not posting pictures of ourselves online.  He's convinced 90% of those on the www are bad and out only to do folks harm.  -  Barbara

A fellow JLander saw me once in Sacramento.  It was Linda from Fresno..."Fasttrack58"  we had just moved there and we were exploring Old Town.  Funny thing was she was too shy to come say hi...that and she didn't want me to think she was stalking me.  LOL

Hi Lori,   Nope, still no alerts here.  I forgot to comment on your lovely family(human and furry) in my last comment.  They are All adorable.  Even Mom and Sis.
I'll look forward to seeing one of you when you're ready.  I don't know how to do that-even if I did have a current photo, so I'll just remain a mystery for now.
A friend of mine once saw a woman who could have been my twin in N. Dakota.  She went up to here and started a conversaion,  turns out the woman's name was Lee (which is actually my middle name). They had a good laugh about the similarities.

Missing alerts but still remembering who to visit!  It is funny that you keep seeing J-Landers. I believe we do build a relationship with our on-line buddies. On occasion I will relate some story in a conversation with my son and he will tease me by asking, "Is that from the real world or your internet friends?"  He just does not get it!  LOL
