LJ issues

Seems like LJ, at least for me, has been having some odd issues with post notifications. Some notification emails show up normally, but some either arrive containing the text of my post and missing the text of the reply, or dont show up at all. If some of you were expecting a response, I might have missed it due to not being notified.

Anyone else having similar problems?

Judging by the huge amount of spam I receive via my LJ address, it is also possible the some of the notification mails are being tossed as spam. I have a feeling a lot of the spam that arrives in this account is due to crawlers triggered by some of the memes. After all, simply adding "@livejournal.com" to usernames will create valid addresses to paid/perm users. Say NO to prepackaged memes!

Reading material

Catalogs. I got a million of 'em. I receive catalogs from companies and outfits I have never heard of nor done business with. Everything imaginable it seems. If one were to gauge who I am by my favorite catalog, they'd either know me very well or think I am some sort of weirdo. Where some people's favorite wishbook might be from Sears, Neiman-Marcus, Williams-Sonoma, Cabelas, etc, mine happens to be from Grainger:



Grainger is an industrial supplier. Everything imaginable, from air compressors, pumps, motors, plumbing, tools, electrical, paint, etc. Their catalog is a six pound plus tome of more than 4000 pages. Over the years, I have bought countless things for the garage, home, workshop, as well as for work and my garage sidebusiness. I find it slightly odd that me stepping into a Grainger branch is not far removed from that Shoes video that infiltrated Livejournaldom. Is it so wrong that an impulse purchase might need a forklift?

What's your favorite 'wishbook'?
