Goodbye (aka OMG, MPL IS MISSING!!)

[Deleted]

<Please ignore this post unless I'm really missing, then resurrect>  

"People leave the board for various reasons. Sometimes it's because they're banned, but usually it's because they CHOSE to leave. If that member starts their own "goodbye" thread to share those reasons, fine. But if they do not, then please respect their privacy and do not gossip or speculate about it on the board.

Ok guys, there's no way in hell I chose to leave.  I've been here or on the old YM for 13 years now.  Something is wrong!!!  If I can't be contacted via Facebook, Wisconsin Beth should bring on her dog.  And somebody should check on my chickens too...

Thank you!

Are you trying to tell us something?

Should we be worry? At least get ready to be worry?

It's advance planning.  The mods say we can't talk about someone being gone unless the poster themselves started a thread explaining their absence.  I'm thinking if I disappear mysteriously it's because I've been abducted or fell in the hay barn and am laying there starving to death with a broken back or something.  I don't want everyone to pretend I never existed while I'm dying waiting for help to come.

Agree with MPL. I would at least let my friends here know if I was taking a break.

I just saw the thread where Later is missing.

I need to go search 'members' and see if she is really missing.

Or maybe Canada blocked YM because of continuous insult of their currencies?

[moon/Laura]

an equally good suggestion for those who so desire - make sure people you trust have a means to contact you off the forum, be that on facebook, email, phone, whatever you are comfortable with. then if you do suddenly disappear, they can try to reach you that way.

threads like this are fine, but they will become lost over time.

did you even bother to read the other thread? if you had, then you would know the answer to the question.

[Wisconsin Beth]

I got your back MPL.

[Peace77]

Wouldn't your kids notice if you didn't make dinner and do usual Mom stuff?

[Wisconsin Beth]

You're being practical!!

[justme]

Unless the kids did it! Or they've always wanted to live out home alone!

I don't trust them. There's at least two weeks worth of easy to make food in the house and the allure of being able to play video games until all hours of the night and not be hounded about homework would keep them from speaking up for quite a while.

have you ever bother reading one of MY threads?

if you did you would had known I am not that smart   and it is easier to EXPLAIN it to me than argue with me.

I will only come help with your chickens if you kidnap Fluffy Butt from it's current owner and bring him back to where he belongs. It was shameful the way you just discarded him without a thought to what the rest of us wanted.

Such a regal rooster as I've ever seen, and you tossed him out like an old sandal that the dog has been chewing on.

and what is your suggestion if those people do not contact you over FB or not returning your calls?

and I have read another thread and found NO answer on what happened to Later...

[moon/Laura]

you really can't read then.

posters are free to delete their accounts at will, which appears to be what happened here.

as for "what if they don't respond"? no one can make them. but perhaps a family member might see a message, or be able to access a voicemail or email to respond in their place. bottom line though - there's only so much that can be done.

How about the cats?  Unless (as TD so kindly puts it)  they decide to use you for cat chow after their dish remains empty awhile.....

I do miss FB, but the kids were afraid of him.   He got a really good home with double the hens he had here.  Our new rooster Henry...not liking him much at all.  Not nearly as pretty, never shuts up and is not the nicest to the hens.  I think this Spring he's going on Craigslist.

I'm pretty sure all cats are secretly plotting their owners deaths.  Definitely can't trust them!

eta:  I just got back from the vet with Scout.  I thought he might have ear mites, so they dug around in there a bunch and then did a complete ear flush/cleaning...which he hated.  He's sitting across the living room now just looking at me.  Not moving.  Not blinking.  Just. Staring.

Oh my geez that's the cat's death stare, you're doomed.

Goodbye MPL, it was nice knowing you.

[Deleted]

He didn't seem relieved when I said, "So, it's sure a good thing they didn't find anything and your ears were fine, right?"  Nope.  That seems to have made things worse. 

[wvugurl26]

You are in trouble now!

[zibazinski]

Be sure you shut your door tonight.

[zibazinski]

With the cat on the other side.

[Deleted]

My bedroom door doesn't latch right.  They can push it open.  I might have to hole up in one of the kid's rooms until this cools down.

[zibazinski]

Mine forgive me if I bribe them with canned food?

[Wisconsin Beth]

Snort. I forgot about the cats! Well, we're try to rehome them. I'm not gonna rehome the kids though!

Its so funny when I read about animals care here in USA.

In Ukraine we had never nuttered/spade them not even declawed and they were running free coming home for food and we had never heard about hairballs or all of these nonsense you posting here.

We had a one vet clinic in 1 million people city! And I went there twice when my Afghan Hound had a liver issues. She lived for 14 years and died here in USA.

But we had not had any dog/cat food. What makes me think it is all issues because of the food.

Or lack of free space to run and do 'cat' business.

[zibazinski]

Because outside cats can eat the gras or whatever that makes them throw up. But indoor cats live longer. I love my kitties even though DH's farts and snores. Reminds me of DH. My cat I'm worried about. She's 16 and lost a lot of weight.  She's still eating and seems fine but I still worry.
