Concern about missing members

[Weedygarden]

I wish more people would use the ignore feature instead of getting butthurt at every little thing.

And I wish some of those nasty people would be put in time out like a former member was multiple but too many times before she and her husband were finally banned.

Woody hasn't been on since May.

I sent him a PM back in June, no response!

His last post was worrisome! Either he or someone close to him had home hospice!

Woody mentioned that his wife had passed, pretty sure. And he was going to sell his home and move to Florida, I thought he said. Grieving is hard but hopefully he’s got new stuff going on.

Because you’re good like that and you take the time to reach out. It’s important.

I was wrong, but I thought it was his sister. He had been absent for a while prior to his last visit, because he was involved with the care of the person who was dying. It seems that the estate resolution is hard for survivors.

Hi and thank you for reaching out!

Yeah, I have been MIA for a while now. How long I have no idea, things got complicated really fast and priorities changed rapidly.

Had a lot going on in life. Started with home hospice and ended with me moving to Fort Pierce, Florida. All that meant A LOT of facetime on the computer! More than I would have liked, but was necessary to coordinate with family, doctors, banks, lawyers, contacting folks, real estate agents, travel…

Information overload.

All of it was just more than I had in me at this stage of my life. The “Golden Years” had a lot of tarnish on them lately. I did what was necessary on the computer but found no enjoyment in doing anything else. The Hospice took up all my time, then funeral and looking to sell our home and find a new location to move to. And lawyers. I would highly recommend everyone takes a fresh look at their wills. Physically take it to a lawyer and spend the money to have it redone so you have a recent, clear, concise will. List ALL the online accounts you have AND the passwords. Passwords to your phone, computer, games, bank… In this day and age, it is necessary information for anyone dealing with your affairs.

A tip there: If you have a trusted friend, spouse or family, give them POA (Power or Attorney) with the Lawyer when you redo your will. They can step right in without losing a beat and you will make their lives a whole lot easier when dealing with your affairs. Even if you are just incapacitated, there is now a clear, LEGAL chain of command.

I avoid the computer as much as possible anymore.

Well… Not all true there. I check the weather and tide forecasts every morning before planning my day out and still have lingering affairs to deal with. I have been trying to recharge. I am slowly getting there, but it seems the older I get, the longer the road gets. Starting a new life isn’t as easy as when I was a young buck! HaHaHa!

Alright, enough face time spent for now. Tide just started going out so I am going to hit the inlet jetty and see what I will have for dinner: Hot dogs or snapper. If anyone is in the Treasure Coast area, drop me a PM and we can wet a line.

Thank you again for reaching out!

Woodrow.

Thanks Weedy!

I always wanted to head over there and get up some fishing with him.

 

[angie_nrs]

I remember he had life issues which made me sad. I would love to see him post here again though.

 

[zannej]

...I think a few members are taking a short vacation.

Hmm.. Says I'm not authorized to view that so I guess I'm blocked by whoever posted it. I don't think I have put anyone or anything on ignore here. But I think I ruffled some feathers and am probably blocked or ignored by a few. Life is too short for me to care if someone blocks me.

@zannej its in the political forum. You have to ask to be let in.

Ah. Ok. I tend to avoid the political chatter. I'm not going to change anyone's mind and vice versa. LOL. I guess that explains why a few times I've found thread links that I couldn't follow.

Did he melt?

 

[Amish Heart]

Ha Ha, I guess you did not

I am not a political person either. I stay away from most of those conversation, but I am on the political sub forum.

I wish more people would use the ignore feature instead of getting butthurt at every little thing.

..Having Brass Testicles (and, sure Brass Ovaries if a Gal) works also.

Personally, I don't have Anyone on "Ignore".. I mean, if Ppl can't take a few 'mean Words' / differing Opinions (even Totally idiotic / Zommic ones) on teh Interwebz, well.. Not sure how they Expect to take Actual Threats, ie: Raiding gangs / Tyrants with MRAPs / drones, etc, etc 'when the Balloon goes Up'..

Will say that Some have Really tried my patience at times tho.. Mostly on the 'SB's there.. Man, that place Oozes Zommies and Idjits, sometimes..
