We did do this but I know it is over a year ago.
This might be a good time to double check this and add new friends.

Frankly, I don't have any "friends" here. There are people I like, people whos posts I enjoy, and even some I miss when they don't don't post. "Friends" is reserved for people I have met. Same rules for facebook, there is NO one on my "friends list" I have not actually met.
Some here know my name and address, my facebook stuff, my actual phone number, which is all useless when I go tits up. When I go tits up, I have put in login info for the board, so my my DW, should she survive me, can let you all know.

Frankly, I have never had "friends" anywhere. I was and have been only a "friend" when it was convenient or beneficial for others. Coming from someone who gives unconditionally it is always a slap in the face. Regardless it is what it is. I do not do farcebook. Noone here has any actual information of mine and thats fine. The world is different today and I get that.
That said, for as long as I am welcome here, I will check in and respond when I can. I do appreciate this space where I can vent and have discussions. Other than the occasional rant I do try to remain fair and open minded.
I do appreciate the "concern" when I go awol. If I were to die in my sleep tonight no one would know nor care except possibly my wife and thats even questionable. Jesus, God, whatever has seldom visited my world. I understand the answer can be no so its all good. Still have no clue why my "guardian angel" has worked so hard keeping me here but I know my work is not done apparently so that can be the only reason.
Hopefully missing members are too busy or moved on as a choice. Hopefully it is not due to to bad health or otherwise. Not sure if this should be a [rant_on]\[rant_off] post but anyway I need to shut up now.
As extremely reclusive as I am, I like many people here!! It's nice to know someone, even someone you have not met, cares and to have a connection with them! That strange little bond is a really big thing! If you read this you are part of that strange little bond!

I've met two ladies on here, and yes, I consider them friends. But there's been others that I've never met. Ben and Urban and I were Mainstream Preppers for many years, mostly just us three on there. I'm glad we're all here.
Strange, what an appropriate word, I think a lot of friends and family think I'm strange, as to reclusive, I don't see you as being that, rather warm and loving, always concerned for the welfare for those who may be missing from here. Like I said before, Pearl is more than a pearl. You have a good heart and that's a rarity in these days.As extremely reclusive as I am, I like many people here!!

But never a "Strange little bond".
Interesting though.

Weird super glue
We all do have a strange little bond. Here together from many different places, having fun, learning, sharing, held together by Amish Heart's weird super glue!!

Ha, I'm not claiming the super glue
The kid says she still likes your car but it would need to come in 4wd before it would be semi practical for us.

I have to drive one of the trucks when the weather is bad around here, the car just won't do it. The first day I dropped the neighbor girl off to the Amish School in the morning, I was driving the Challenger and I had all the 6 to 8th grade boys, staring at the car. Pretty funny.
What color is it Amish?

Very dark grey, black leather interior. V8. I saw your white one! There's a white one that I see in the bigger town.
Has anyone seen Double R post lately?
The last I see was 2/12. ???
No, I was just thinking about her this morning!!!!!
I just did a search and she last posted on the 13th, that's over a week ago!!
Let's give her another day or two. She had a lot on her plate. She might have needed to get grounded for a few days. If we don't hear from her, I can PM her. Obviously if you feel otherwise, it's not my call. I just don't have a bad gut feeling about it. Will still send up a 
for her.
for her.I was just posting on another forum about so many members choosing to become ghosts. Roughly four years ago we brought about 23 new members here as one group, we were disenchanted with conditions on a "pure" prepping/survival forum. We snagged about four or five more from The Survival Boards.
Of that number, about five or six still post here. The others have become ghosts. They have not gone to other forums; they have intentionally become ghosts. If things develop as I "fear" in the next ten'ish days, I and many others will vanish.
Woe be to anyone who is not aware of sudden large serious shifts in North America and Europe. The speed of "negative" transformation currently is cause for alarm.
Stay safe........things "could" get frisky.

I don't think she is sick or anything. I know she was feeling down about the lack of sale of her home and not being able to move...
Maybe that changed - it's worth a thought.

I fear that if Old Coot Hillbilly is still on this earth, he is incapacitated. It took me a while to read his posts, with the way he wrote, but I loved it. He hasn't posted on his blog since 2017 either.

Hello all 
Just needed a break. Didn’t know I’d be missed. Thanks for your concern. Much appreciated.
