This past weekend, I wrote out my will in the event I don't survive the surgery. Daddy is getting his sister-in-law, who works for a bigshot lawyer in Columbia, to work it up for me and have her boss make it all legal. What's great about this is it's going to be free, since I just can't afford to have a will made out under my own steam. I'm so pathetic....it sucks so much to be poor.

Anyway, one of the directions in my will is to have my journal given over to Aunt Tudi and Llew. Aunt Tudi has read very little of the journal, since she doesn't do the Internet, and there are parts of the journal that Llew was unable to read since he's not an LJ member. I place just about everything here and I want them to know the Whole Story, as 't'were, should I depart this vale of tears.

So I've exported the journal month by month and am now in the process of printing out the whole megillah. It's a daunting task, but one I need to do and quickly.

I want to wish you the best of luck for the surgery, when it happens. I'm sure you'll be fine!

It's a shame the export tool only does one month at a time. I can help you process the data into a reasonable looking printable format if you want.

Firstly, you would need to stick all the files together as one. I would do it using the XML export option. You can write a style sheet to format that how you want and print it using a browser. I'd be glad to help you out with this if you'd like.

You're very sweet! I'm afraid I'll have to pass, though, because there are some private posts that would probably take 10 years off your life should you see them. That's why I'm only letting Tudi and Llew read the entire journal in the event of my death. Horrid, eh?

Posts that would take 10 years off my life? Wow - I can't imagine what those might be like. You must have gone through some bad times.

Still, I could help you without having ever seen the data, I could send you whatever I make and you could do the processing yourself.

So the offer's still there, if you want it.

You'd do that for me? Thanks! :)

For that smile, I'd do anything!

I've not done any XML stuff before, so I'll have a play over the next week or so.
