I can only get on AIM Express. Once in AIM Express, no one can IM me. I have to IM out. And even then it doesn't always work. If we are talking and the window gets closed, I don't get messages. Sometimes, messages duplicate and/or get dropped, and I never know. Anyway, I use it almost never because it's not very useful to me. Not that I think legions of people are trying to talk to me, but just in case anyone has (I think a few have) and I've ignored you completely, it's because I never even knew you tried. All I know is that the program has stopped working and is now laughing at me.

Anyway, e-mail always works. *still sulking over traiterous AIM*

I have. I passed it off as something like that. [Smile]

I thought you were downloading something. I have a friend who has aol, and whenever she's downloadingsomething, she sets it to log off AIM as soon as the download is complete.

But, then, I kinda wondered, too. [Frown]

Which just shows how totally paranoid *I* am about stuff, and shouldn't reflect on you in the slightest. *hug*

*hugs Olivia* I'd heard that you wondered, but I checked AIM a few times, and you weren't on. Then I got off quickly because I could just imagine someone else trying to IM and it not working and the cycle starting over. [Razz]

But no, never, not ignoring anyone.

If I log off as soon as you (the generic you) IM, it means AIM Express has decided to toy with me again.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Naw, It's cool. I was just paranoid because of thinking before that you were upset with me, and feeling bad about not calling you.

I HAVE *thought* about calling you many, many times, but as soon as I think about it, something happens with my new job or the kids or something. [Frown]

Right now, my boss wants me to make appointments with groups of people, only he hasn't told me who is in which group. *sigh*

Oh OK. I thought you didn't like me.
