Good morning, Bravenet citizens!

Things around this virtual neighborhood are rather quiet, lately, aren't they?

And the search for interesting journals seems to be getting more challenging, too; it seems more fly-by-night folks are coming in than real people interested in sharing their own lives, which I'm sure is frustrating to many. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about it; those types of journals aren't breaking the Bravenet Terms of Service, so they've been allowed to stay...
Not long ago, the community was enjoying a vibrant, healthy life. But as more and more of those advertising journals appear, the
real journals are being shoved down and out of view. This is why it's so important that we come together as a community and say, "Hey! Here's someone you might like to visit!" Just because this is an internet site, that doesn't mean we're not a community.
Having said that, here are some members for you to drop by and visit:
