So many have gone missing in the last year, or so.
I hope they're okay. And I wish there was a way to find out.

We also haven't heard from Gardening Grandma in a couple of weeks. I hope she is doing o.k. |

I hope Dezi is OK, he has health issues. OC may have been asked to take a break or given up on such a liberal board, LOL.

That's the downside to a message board
On another board, we have a missing member from England
We also had another who passed away earlier this year

I've thought about OldCoyote a couple of times and searched his last posts to see if he said anything about taking a break or leaving. I found nothing and have no way to contact him. I don't think he was upset over anything. I fear something happened to him. I miss his birthday posts. Anyone have an email or fb contact? |

I can't speak to OC's health (and I hope he's ok), but he's no longer a member here.
Tenn is trying to reach out to dezi.
I've tried to reach mmhmm with no success.
This is the difficult part of message boards - in most cases, you don't really know anyone. Normally, out of respect for privacy, I wouldn't get involved. But the pandemic changes things.

Given the pandemic has booted back up big time, I'm going to hope Mmhmm is out assisting or resting from assisting. I just started to declutter my apartment this year. I had shingles in my eye into Covid part 2 NJ. Not much rest for people in healthcare facilities. |

I'm going to hope that's the case with mmhmm as well. But, the fact is, she's high risk due to age, and her being on the front lines increases her exposure risk by a lot.

I can't think of her name at the moment, but I often wonder what happened to the poster who had an entire thread devoted to her medical issues. It started with her dental problems and developed into several other major problems throughout her body. There was a fund set up where other posters could donate to help her financial situation and others sent her food, etc. through Amazon. The thread is gone and I hope it was deleted because she got better, but am concerned maybe she didn't make it 
Also miss Wyouser. Loved his "from the mountain" stories. |

Years and years ago there was a poster who was bipolar and had 2 children
She had a third baby and gave him to her brother and SIL to raise
I still remember her heart breaking posts

Dezi lives one county south of me, with very high incidence of COVID-19. I do not know his real name, or I could do a search in that local paper. I did try some variations of his board name, but came up with nothing.

I have checked obits in Florida and Connecticut where he was born and lived for many years but have found nothing. What is the name of your local paper so I can double check. I did try calling him today several times. A voice recording stated his phone number was not set up to receive messages. So no message left. One good piece of news (I guess) is that a voice when I called did not say the phone number was not in service. A second stroke would not be foreign for Dezii. |

Sun-Sentinel is the Broward County paper, the Palm Beach Post for Palm Beach and the Miami Herald for Miami-Dade. I believe he was living in Broward recently. |

I’m FB friends with just 3 people from these boards. They at least know my real name, in case I ever just disappear from the boards here.
Before I became FB friends with those 3, I kinda felt like maybe I should tell my daughter or DBF how to find you all and let you know if anything ever happened to me. They know I’m fond of the people on *my* message board, because I talk about things I’ve learned from you all, but they don’t know exactly what message board it is, or how to find it.
Posting anonymously here is great, but the downside really is not knowing what’s going on with posters that we care about when they just disappear.

Thanks Tennesseer! If he isn’t interested in the message board anymore, that’s fine by me. I’m just glad to know he’s ok, that’s what really matters to me. Now, if we could get word on the other posters we’re wondering about...... |

I'm fb friends with diamonds. She hasn't gotten better. Right at the time Virgil stopped posting here, I sent diamonds $500 through him. With him gone I don't know how she is doing anymore.  I'll be happy to give you my contact info! 😉 Seriously, this was a really nice thing that you did. I'm sure it was greatly appreciated. |

We also haven't heard from Gardening Grandma in a couple of weeks. I hope she is doing o.k. Just saw this. Haven’t been on tbe board for a while, but I’m fine (thanks for thinking of me). Have been pretty much just hunkered down, Go to the grocery store or PO, but always masked and I live in a county with a low infection rate (thanks to residents who (mostly) are not morons and wear masks. I miss seeing my kids/ grandkids SO much. Had a family gathering (outdoors and socially distanced) last Sept and told them there would be no family dinner over the holidays. 🥲 But we had a nice Zoom gathering last week. Youngest grandchild graduating from CC with an AA in Applied Science in Multimedia & Interactive Technology Web Designer..... same grandchild has come out as transgender, so I am trying to wrap my head around that..... |
