Concern about missing members

[Patchouli]

@tiffanysgallery stay awhile! I didn't think I was ready, but even with it being in the 30s, it's not too bad. Mind, it's not supposed to do this in central TX in mid November...

Hi everybody!

Is everyone ready for the cold weather? Ready or not...

I put on two pairs of pants yesterday and today, a long sleeve t-shirt, a pull over fleece and a zippered fleece. I was sweating. Yes, it was 22 degrees, but just a little moving around worked up a sweat. I have some thinner knit pants (several pairs) that I bought years ago at Walmart. They make a great first layer, then I put on a pair of jeans. My legs don't get cold. Then the wool socks and I am good to go.

Oh my! I now have a visual image in my mind. lol...lol....

Second going to Tenn. to pick up my personal belongings,quilt frame,and a few other things.
Say good byes to dear friends.
Next trip to Tenn. pick up my horses,tack etc.
Unless some idiot male's sister will bring them when she comes to my place in the Spring.
No won't be seeing the idiot male.
It's deer season.

I got out my layering stuff yesterday. I have those fleece lined leggings I wear under my skirts. Keeps my legs warm. Started remembering to bring my muck boots in from the back porch in the morning to warm up before feeding the animals. It's pretty cold to stick your feet in them in the morning to feed the animals. Also brought in a bucket and a couple more empty gallon containers to fill with hot water from the kitchen to deice the waterers in the morning. Need to get our son to help me relocate the duck run door. It's at a low area, and when we change the water in their wading pools, it pools right by the door. So yesterday, the door wouldn't open till I threw hot water on the ground because it froze shut. I saw this one coming, but it'll be a bear to relocate because we have a wire roof on the run. I think this morning it's about 3 degrees warmer than yesterday morning, but that's not saying much.

The dog parks shut their water off in the fall, so then the water is carried in, jug by jug by dog park users (or not, some never notice or think of it). There is an accumulation of empty jugs that get piled in a corner, with full jugs setting by the drinking bowl. I try to take two jugs every day, because so many others don't. It is especially important for the ridgeback to have ready access to drinking water because of all of the medication she takes for her liver issues. She takes some of the same meds that humans take.

Has anyone heard from @Tommycourt?

 

[Caribou]

My doctor says that lots of water is good for you. My computer disagrees. New computer and a bit of time finding new links to my favourites. Not to mention the email addresses that were lost.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Anyone seen @katlupe of late, by the way missing you on here , like having conversations with you.

I sent you an email to see if the volcano ate you, did you get that one?

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Anybody heard from Elgar? Gumpy?

 

[Caribou]

I sent you an email to see if the volcano ate you, did you get that one?

Yep, we had a conversation by PM after I found my way back.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@gumpy doing a call out for you to see if you are OK. Hope life is back on track .

 

[Terri9630]

Yep, we had a conversation by PM after I found my way back.

I wasn't sure if you had got the email or just the pm. Glad the volcano didn't get you. Now watch out for that water!! Need to go to the desert, no stray water here.

Sorry, just the PM. I can't access my old email account. I had to open a new one and I'm slowly getting email addresses replaced.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Anyone seen @Double R, @robin416 or buildit ?.

 

[Peanut]

More than a few missing. I've left my email with a few here in the forum. At our age... things happen. I hope the missing show up... Gumpy worries me... he should have sent a message by now.

 

[havasu]

Break Break, paging Mr. Gumpy!

 

[Weedygarden]

Phideaux and Gumpy are friends in real life, although they may not be living close enough to see each other now.

Meerkat, where are you? I hope you are well! I am especially curious to know if you made your annual batch of fruit cake?

 

[Spikedriver]

I keep up with Jim (Phideaux) a little bit. He checks in on the forum quite regularly, but he's busy and he doesnt post much. I do think that if anything bad has happened to Gumpy, Jim would let us know.

As for some of the others y'all have mentioned, DoubleR had too many real life responsibilities to keep up with the forum. Not sure if she checks in on us or not. Buildit sort of left the forum, as best as I understand it. Nothing bad, just sort of moved on.

There are times a member goes missing, sometimes just for short periods and sometimes for longer periods. There are man reasons for this but sometimes it is for health or other family emergencies. I just noticed that Squirtgunsquirter has not posted since last Wednesday, so I figured this would be a way to bring out the subject of absent members.

So if anybody knows or can contact SGS, and let us all know if he is doing well, I would be grateful. Maybe all my news articles have driven him into seclusion. I do think we need to keep a watchful eye out for our members.

 

[jontte]

if we can ,we'd better watch the back of us here,we are spread all over this globe,so we might catch up something well in advance to warn others.

 

[jimLE]

I wonder if someone can come up with a members map,to indicate where each of us live .and have it setup where only members can see it.

SGS said he was leaving forum for a coupke of weeks because he got carried away and ended up researching 5 other memebers identities and felt realy bad about it afterward.

 

[jontte]

Jim,that map would be cool

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Thanks @Spikedriver for letting us know, they were just the people I noticed were missing in transit .

Well darn, I read the post but missed the part about leaving the forum for a couple of weeks. Double darn for him self exiling himself.

 

[Maverick]

SGS? I should know but got a brain fart

Never mind

 

[lonewolf]

one of the UK members who was on here regularly seems to have gone missing? not entirely out of character but a shame as he used to post some good stuff.

Sorry to hear (read) that. What is the members I.D. and does anybody know how to contact and check up on him / her?
