Question about journals.

I recently came across two very obscure comments of mine suddenly appearing in my journal. Previously, I had NOTHING appearing in my journal--just didn't think I had the time to write anything.

I have no idea how these comments got there. They really look silly, as they are so totally out of context. How do I delete them? Couldn't find a place to edit. Thanks!

And your two comments are from months ago. Weird!

I suggest posting in ATA - it might be a glitch.

At the bottom of each journal entry it should say Posted by NCarolinawoman and then give the date and time it was posted along with how many replies there were. That date/time/replies info should also be a link to your post. Click it to open the post you want to delete - at the bottom right hand side of the post you should find links that look something like this:

[div class="excerpt" style="display:inline-block; margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #999999 inset;"]Added to Journal (RemoveSelf-delete  Edit post  Reply to this thread

Click on the Remove link, repeat for all posts you want to delete from your Journal.

I hadn't been paying attention, and I'm thinking those posts may have been up there for some time.
