Concern about missing members

[Meerkat]

Alrighty, folks. I heard back from VJ. He said, and I quote, "you have my permission to tell the Forum members I'm in a nursing home and not doing so hot." That's all he gave permission for so there ya go.
I'd advise any of you who have his email and who think kindly of him, to send him a quick email with no response necessary.

Patch I'm sure he knows he has people here who care for him . I know I'll nevrr see another helicopter without thinking about VJ, tell him 'Prudence' sends thoughts and cares. He said he isn't the religious type don't know if thats changed?

Thank you, Patchouli.
Sad. You know when your weight keeps going down and the health professionals suggest going into a home, that things are not good. If I had a mailing address, I would send him a greeting card and letter. Does anyone know it? If so, would you PM it to me?

 

[Weedygarden]

I am back too after flooding and flood mitigation works in the yard that thankfully worked. It was a huge job.

I had noticed that you were quiet. Australian's have sure been through some stuff in the last year or two. Glad you are back and hopefully life will improve.

VJ is also in my prayers aswell.I just don't tell him in cse he doesn't want to know, but I'm sure he understands its not to push its just that we care.

@Weedygarden I don't want to "bother" him, but I will try to stay in touch with him and see how he feels about that (getting cards). I would not post the address openly of course.
I'm very surprised that no one else has mentioned having contacted him. It is our duty to reach out to one another, isn't it? Don't be dropping the ball, y'all.

I don't think posting his address here for everyone to see is necessary or the correct thing to do.
I do think it is good that we are trying to connect more personally off line. We may not meet most of the others in person, but this is a community.

I wouldn't send anyone's address to a third party without their express permission.

Me, either, nor would I want someone to send it to me without permission or mine to someone else without permission. I have the same view about sharing cell phone numbers.

I feel the same way. If everyone has posted their email on the same private thread I may send an since all have seen them anyway but onlyto those on the thread.a

I wouldn't. If someone want's to send me their contact information I'll probably do the same in return, but only in a PM or email. I use a paid email account so I can be assured of my privacy. Love you guys but I don't tell everything over the net.

Car say you and I and a couple others here started a PM thread and we all shared our email with eachother.
We all now know each others email so if I send them a email from my email that is hard to use nobody is getting anyones email they don't already know,like a family chain email.
I hope I make it clea. Its late and I'm tired so hope I'm making sense.

Haven't heard back from Venom Jockey since the first response but I did pass your messages on to him.

I don't want to know it now, but does someone know his name? If we end up at a quiet time with him, his name could be searched to determine if he has passed away.

 

[Swing]

He's (RP) his initials) messaged me some via the FB group. Thursday he said 2 out of 3 docs said he could go home, but I've not received any messages from him since then.

Anyone heard from Justin who lived in China and was tring to move back to USA last year? Hope he got out of China .

He was supposed to have moved to Wisconsin or Michigan about a year ago. I had watched for him, but have not seen him here in over a year.

Where is @SheepDog ??
Hasn't been here in a week?

 

[Amish Heart]

Where is BlueZ? He had the virus

 

[Weedygarden]

Where is BlueZ? He had the virus

He did say he was symptomatic. I wonder if anyone has email contact with him?

 

[Peanut]

I saw Bluez logged in, in the last couple of days.

He is not that active here. He has loyalty to the former place.

 

[havasu]

He is not that active here. He has loyalty to the former place.

WHY?

 

[Sentry18]

WHY?

That's like being loyal to an airline company that went out of business and just sitting alone in an empty abandoned hanger.

I stopped in there a few weeks back looking for something. It was a ghost town. A virtual tumble weed rolled across my screen.

 

[Meerkat]

Well they made it easier for me to leave,thy banned me for giving out our new site here to others.

 

[Weedygarden]

WHY?

He posted about that quite a while ago. I will look for that comment and share a link to it here. I believe, if I remember correctly, he has also been an administrator in other forums, and felt as though it is important to stay on board. I don't necessarily agree with that, but each to their own.

I, too, go their occasionally just to see the tumble weeds, @Sentry18. It is a ghost town, and they have no one to blame but themselves! It was a great community that they were not loyal to, but the better part of the community is here now. This group will continue to grow. We have a solid core group who are here daily, and they are now fake and old news. It was good for a while, and that while is over now.

I think almost all of us are here now. I was really mad about not being able to givr our old buddy this address when he was very ill and passing and asking for it. Can't remember his name but there is no sense in being that mean to someone that sick and they knew it totherwise they wouldn't had known what we were talking about if not easedropping.He sid he would love to knowwhere everyone is so he can join us.Maybe Captain ,not sure.

The one person that I remember who we know passed was Machinist. He had cancer. His daughter is a member of this group, but I don't remember her name.
