I just wanted to toss something out for discussion..Or you can just wonder if I have an obsession with death, or getting senile..We post a lot on here about being "family"..We seem to know each other pretty well and wonder where someone is if they haven't posted for a couple days..What if you got very ill for a while, were in an accident that keeps you from communicating to us or if you passed away..How would we know? Would you want us to know? Have you ever told anyone to make a post here about your illness, accident or death..Do you wonder if any of us would even care?
That's a good question, and strangely it's something I've thought of... when somebody "disappears," I'll wonder how we'd know if they were ill or dead. We somehow found out when MoMark passed away, I think because he was in phone contact with a few members (and his sister used his account, I believe). Both June and Hoosier have my number, so maybe I will program their numbers into my cell - hopefully in the event of my "catastrophe," somebody would think to call all of my contacts. Thanks for the depressing thread!
Oh, and yes I would want you all to know... I've been here for over a year, and do consider many of you to be real friends. Not to mention, it would be fairly obvious if a moderator disappeared!
Yes I want to know if anything happens to anyone on here, I care about everyone, some I have grown very close to like Hoosier and June and others. My husband knows to let Hoosier know if anything happens to me and he would let you all know. I get concerned if regulars are not on for a while.
Gee, that's funny blue62, I was thinking of the same exact thing the other day. I suppose no one would know. My wife knows I am on here a lot but her English isn't that great and she doesn't really know where or who I talk to. No one else in my personal life knows I come on here and no one from this forum really knows anything that personal about me.
There have been some people "disappear" and I have often wondered why they left and/or if they're ok. FL-TN-Nana is one of those people. There are others as well, but I think most of them just got burnt out and ran out on us.
I've never actually said anything to him, but I would hope that my husband would come on here and give word, if anything ever happened to me. However, knowing him, it would never even cross his mind. I guess I had better leave a note for someone to find or tell the rest of the family where my hiding place is!
It's funny, I was just listening to this song and I think it is so fitting for my thoughts and feelings toward so many of you here! I know it's the wrong context, it's about God, but I think this song can crossover and be used for our friends and family here on cd as well. No matter where I go, none of you are ever far away from me...you will all forever be in my heart.
June is hanging back on this one in anticipation of Montana's response.
I suppose it could just be that she's on her honeymoon in Paris with her Beloved Montana (hopefully no one else). Then after a couple of weeks of bliss she could resume her moderating duties. It's just a thought.

Interestingly enough, I have found myself pondering Blue's querie ever since intitially reading it...No doubt in the event that June went gently into the night, (either here, or in Paris!) that she would somehow want others to know. June is not one to encourage a lack of taking gentle care. To that end, June facilitates certain safeguards in her life, in the event that such "news" needs be delivered. For those of you out there who know how to "find" me, (1-800-CALL-JUNE) no doubt in my silent absence you would attempt to do so. As such, I suspect that "June Junior" would do the only decent thing humanly possible in the event of my demise: Post something under my screen name alerting others to the fact that June went off gently into the night...(Yet how wierd would that be, reading such a post posted with my screen name?) --Almost having the illusion of June posting from beyond the grave!
Thus, to that end, I would hope that those of you who know me (and you all know who you are!) would alert others in the event that June turned up MIA. And with you or not, I would hope that all would continue to:
Take gentle care!
