MindSay support

The MindSay support board is interesting; it's as if everyone has supporthelp. (Or maybe I'm special? I doubt it.)

The options you have are Answer, IC/Action, and Comment—it's not possible to make a screened answer, and any Answer you write (that's the default choice) is immediately approved.

Is this what it was like at LiveJournal and DeadJournal a while ago, where every answer, no matter how bad or good, goes straight out to the user? I'd heard about this but never experienced it before.

On the other hand, there don't seem to be any supportclose people, either; at any rate, /admin/priv/ doesn't work on that site. This means that you only get points if the users close requests themselves, I suppose. (Or maybe the owner of the site goes through every once in a while… but the board has some yellow requests going back four weeks.)

Having my sisters over

Ireen, Jennifer, and Elaine came over today to celebrate Stella's birthday a little. Ireen brought little Emily along.

We talked a little bit, played Magic (nothing to do with MtG, the collectible card game), and ate cake.

Nothing much, but I was still glad when they left since long social occasions tend to tire me.

They offered to take some of our luggage, since Daddy and Inka are in Tornesch over the weekend and had offered to take some luggage down in the car when they go back on Monday. Stella gave them a suitcase containing most of our things; that means that we'll only have to take along food and things we need for the journey itself when we go down to the temple tomorrow.

On the way back, we'll have to lug the suitcase ourselves, but c'est la vie.
