so, how does this lj thing work?

I would have sworn I posted a comment to someone's journal this afternoon, but this evening I can't find it. Can you delete comments in your own journal? On a related topic, can you search for your own comments made in journals of others? I checked the friends posts above and below the post I thought I responded to, but no joy.  
Of course, it's entirely possible in the aggravation of work today I wrote a draft and failed to click the "post this" button. Or perhaps I've finally gone completely out of my mind, ha-ha-ho-ho-hee-hee-ha-ha.

Comments

Yes.

Yes, you can delete comments in your own journal. When it comes in (in the mail message) you have the option to delete it. I don't know of any good search function, but I'm rather fire and forget. If you're out of your mind, may I have the lasagna in the freezer?

Re: Yes.

I think if I'm insane or dead, GM gets first claim on my stuff.....although as you are the holder of my health care directive, I suppose I should be careful not to have a tempting amount of lasagna in the freezer at any given moment :)
I'm sure GM will give you all of my run-on sentances.

I dream not of the fountain of youth;
who wishes to be callow and not know to count blessings?
Instead, give me the good of the ages:
Ripe cheese, simmered sauce, salty olives, and more!
Let not the fount of Lasagna fear;
She is one El Gastrome' will hold dear!
(And her health will be good, even if the rhyme and spelling are queer...)

I don't know of any way to search for comments of one's own in another journal -- not easily anyway. You can search via web browser once you're on that journal comment page, but there isn't an LJ function which will fetch them for you.

If you go to the view where you can see the LJ toolbar -- I went to home and could see it, then click on journal there will be a menu at the end that says comments. It shows comments you made and that people made to your posts for 10 back with unpaid, 100 back with paid account.

I do that all the time - write the omment and then press "Browse" instead of "Post Comment". It's really aggrivating.
