Index

[aggienaut]

   Being as there are now over 2500 entries here, I thought I'd make a tag index for the unlikely circumstance that someone other than myself might want to look for something here ;)

   Unfortunately everything is going to be listed from most recent to oldest so if you start at the top it'll be "reverse order" -- I don't know how to fix this.

   I'm sure there are entries that lack the proper tags. The travelogues at least are pretty well tagged I believe.

   Some more recent entries will have weird gaps in them because the old location (livejournal) allowed embedded google maps but dreamwidth does not, so when the entries were migrated the result was a blank space where a map was. Also a lot of links will still point to the livejournal location... but since my updates are still originating there that shouldn't be a problem.

Index
Non-Fiction
   Introductions - I've introduced myself a few times, typically for annual writing contest "LJ Idol," here's the ones that are correctly tagged. This one is my favorite though.
   Beekeeping
      Honeybees
   LJ Idol - Nonfiction LJ Idol entries
   Roadtrips
   Sailing
   Travelogues
      Australia - since I lived here long enough that it is no longer novel, so there are likely missing tags.
      Ethiopia
      France
      Guinea
      Israel
      Kenya
      Kyrgyzstan
      Nicaragua
      Nigeria
      Spain
      Sweden
      Tanzania
      Turkey
      Uganda
      Zanzibar

Fiction
   Historical Fiction
   Science Fiction - I know there's more that could be here, it seems I haven't been using this tag diligently
   LJ Idol Entries - Mostly fiction, a wide variety of topics. I think only about 75% of these entries are correctly tagged.
      LJ Idol Season Indexes - used to be a thing I did, though I stopped doing it in later seasons because it was kind of tedious to put together.
   The Coming Zombie Apocalypse - Continuing coverage of the coming zombie apocalypse
   The Clone Series!

Thank you!
I often plan to go back thru and peruse your adventures :-)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! (:

[sobota.livejournal.com]

I am definitely going to peruse your Sweden and Aussie adventures, two countries I would love to live in :)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

I just went back through a lot of the Australia entries, and there's a lot because I was there for six months, and decided not to tag the ones that weren't really "about" Australia as Australia. I'm still not sure how to handle the tags on that though.

Sweden so far is only two (longish) entries from last July. I actually will likely be there again at the end of this month though (:

I spent an entire year in Sweden in 1998-1999, but that was way before I was blogging ;)

Hi - I find your bee posts very interesting!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (:

[pundigrion.livejournal.com]

I applaud your dedication to tagging!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Haha I also love giving entries random tags, there's a few really random ones in circulation. I wish more of the LJ Idol entries were tagged. I know I've written over 100 LJI entries and it lists the tag as only being used 75 times.

But it's invaluably useful I use the tags all the time when I'm looking for a particular entry!

Привет! Может тебе понравятся мои новые рисунки?)

Unfortunately everything is going to be listed from most recent to oldest so if you start at the top

Hello! I see that you added me as a friend. May I ask how you found my journal and what led you to add me?

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Oh I just discovered that massive friendzy Lavenderfieldss posted a year or two ago (:

[pigshitpoet.livejournal.com]

wow! how did you catch that bee in flight coming in for a landing on the hives?

like some industrial military insect complex,
are all the dots in the sky also bees?
; )

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Lol military insect complex! Bee in flight is just a matter of probability, with enough bees in flight (yeah the other dots are also bees) its likely one will be doing something in the foreground (:

[kristenbos1981.livejournal.com]

Hi there.. I've added you as a friend, I hope that was OK. :-)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Haha hi Kris, I'm Kris! Welcome! (:

Yay for tags! I just came back to lj tonight specifically to read your old bee posts to see if I could learn something.
I found a bee in my garden today. She appears to be a forager at the end of her days - no pollen evident in her sack, very tattered wings, sitting very still. I thought she might just be tired or cold, since it was a pretty cold day (but the first dry and sunny day in about a week). I gave her some sugar water on my gardening glove and she perked up a bit, flapping for a few minutes but not taking off. I thought she might be too cold or hungry still for flight so I gave her some honey (she ran to jar as soon as I opened it then gorged herself for about 10 minutes)... she was definitely hungry.
I sat in the vege garden, bee on my hand for a good 30 minutes or so, thinking about your Melissa and how sweet she was.
I brought Arthur inside to get warm, and gave her some honey, and she sat on the back of my hands (eating on one, resting on the other) for hours. I've popped her in a shoebox with the gloves (she seems to like them), and her choice of honey and sugar water.
I'm hoping that tomorrow she'll be able to warm up enough to fly home... or can at least die peacefully in the warm instead of sitting on a spinach leaf in chilly drizzle.

I sort of read all your entries in one go. Hi- glad to see you found my excuses scattered about. But I'm right here on DreamWidth. My condolences on your grandfather - he seems to have been an amazing man, and I'm sorry I won't have a chance to meet him.

I have friends in Melbourne, whom I visited in 1998. One of them now lives in one of the suburbs, and the other lives somewhere near the Victoria Market (the hotel I was staying in was right on Swanston Street, and so is her flat, so I just took the tram and got off at the market and went down a side street. She's bedridden with a chronic illness (they still don't know what it is, although it was originally diagnosed as "chronic fatigue syndrome". So I visited her at her home, and we had a long afternoon talking, until she got tired and I had to leave. I'd love to go to Melbourne again, but my husband's job (driving an airport limousine) went away during the pandemic, and we have no money, so unless I win the lottery I'm not going to travel until December when I spend the holidays with my daughter-in-law's family up near Niagara Falls.

I have been vaccinated against Covid - two main shots and a booster. See, I have congestive heart failure and some level of kidney disease and also diabetes, and I was considered "at risk". My doctor has told me not to bother getting another booster yet. I seem to be getting stronger as time passes - last October I had "cardiac ablation", where they administer electrical shocks to one of the nerve centers in the heart, to prevent it from going into "atrial fibrillation", a form of arrhythmia that causes it to pump inefficiently. And one of the drugs I'm on can help the heart muscle rebuilt itself. I had to change a lot of my behavior, including diet (I still have to avoid most sweets, and I can't drink alcohol because it interacts with one of my other meds and makes me sick), and I need to sleep more than is socially acceptable (I wouldn't be able to hold a job). But I'm still here!<https://youtu.be/3xz1tugdg6a>
