I receive notifications of my LJ  comments, both anonymous and registered, so that configuration functions as a "pm" type of notification, because I get them as people leave them there.  Is that what you are looking for?

I also get notified via email when there are responses to my comments, but I was thinking of a messaging type of thing amongst users.  I guess not ..  :)  Thanks for the info L & L.


Louise, so how are ya feeling?  :)

Eh... well.  I guess I could be doing worse.  The drops I am taking are keeping me from coughing, which is good, and the nose drops are helping but not as much as I wish they would.  I expected I might feel a lot worse than I do so that is an improvement.

I was having a lot of pain in my teeth and called my dentist, who got back to me to let me know that there are no live teeth under that bridge I am having the pain under, so it must be a gum irritation. I never knew a gum irritation could be so -- irritating!  But as soon as I feel better I am going to go up and see him and have him poke and prod my gums.  He told me a situation like that is really quite minor to take care of.  At least I'm not facing another root canal.  Nurse Leslie tells me that sinus pressure can cause toothaches so I am wondering if that isn't what is really going on, since I have IMMENSE sinus pressure!

More than you wanted to know I'm sure!

A bowl of hearty soup is excellent comfort food, and since your tooth hurts and your gums are irritated, have it warm..

While Louise gave us a teaser, this is my favorite paragraph:

“Thank you,” Ennis leaned over, brushing his thumb across Ellery’s damp cheek, pushing loose strands of hair back from Ellery’s forehead and tucking them behind his ear. “It’s cause I love you.” Then Ennis leaned down and brushed his lips softly across Ellery’s lips, kissing him as gently as he had penetrated him earlier... giving him a subtle message.

I just love the imagery of their faces so close together, light hair, dark hair, Ennis's fingers in Ellery's hair, pushing it back....sigh.....

I totally agree with Leslie and Fred about this passage.  It is just beautiful. (although the hot sweaty part was pretty damn good, too!  ;))
