Has anyone seen Gary post since the in the past couple of days? Tornado's hit Mississippi also yesterday 2-7 and I haven't seen him post since then. He is such a regular poster that this has me worried. Gary= if you see this please check in!! prayers are with all that have endured the tornados---  does anyone know if we have other members in those areas & if they are okay? (ps.i'm not sure if this is where i should post this, but will move it to another thread if i should) |

This is the same issue we used to have on the old forum, where members would suddenly stop posting...and I mean long time regular ones, leaving no clue to what had happened....using nics made it even more difficult to trace them, unlike FB groups where one uses their real name......
I remember we decided that members leave contact details with one of their family members or close friend with instructions to log into the forum and pass on any messages that would end speculation....the last i recall it worked even though it was not what we wanted to hear.....but there are always those that had left but remained as members or part of your personal friend's list.....

Yes, this is really weird, to say the least? I just really hope everything is going alright?

We sure could use a daily roll call! Until we hear otherwise, we just have to keep our fingers crossed that justacaregive is okay.

I hope we hear from Gary soon. I know sometimes if one is not feeling well there will be a time of silence... I can be quilty of that even with my family and friends because I don't want to worry them. But, on a board like this, the silence is scary. Do members have "pals" that check up on them through another method?
Also, I avoid connecting to Facebook regarding medical issues. I like to keep my Facebook as a personal sharing of the best of my life.... Yet, this forum helps me understand the best of life in a different way...the sharing of our common problems with our health, the support from those who understand because of illness, and the wisdom that comes from living and learning.
Does anyone have a way of contacting Gary?

FB has plenty of closed COPD groups that do not have anything to do with your personal news feed...If you want to know where most forum members and newer people are these days, then it is in these groups....Although with me most of my non COPD froiends already know so I have no issues with taking freely in the open...My kids being of the newer generation now use Snapchat n Instagram and rarely communicate via FB anymore......so in a way it becomes a personal choice which way one prefers...

I haven't used Fb, or Instagram at all in a while! I just can't take the Negativity. I feel like deleting F.B.

TY john....I appreciate anything you may be able to do! Gary (justacaregiver) posted several times daily, so when the tornado hit his area that concerned me. However, I am sure power has been restored to his area by now so I have gotten even more concerned for both his wife & he. |

ps. having lost a few member that i had gotten very close to on my old support group I told my children to be sure to go to the support group & post an update so people would know why if I disappear. Of course I also realized that if anything happens to me that my children will forget to do such a thing. So being the "pushy" mother that i am; I wrote the web address & my password on a sticky note that I stuck on top of my will/trust that they will need to go to. When I changed to this board, it was simple to write the info on a new sticky note & stick it on my will/trust  so if i ever 'disappear' people will be informed  (of course a couple of my friends that are on FB may find out even faster, as my family keeps in touch with FB) just a thought if others might live alone & need to 'remind' a family member to do anything. |

We won't even have enough money on bury me.  never mind tell them to come here. I told them to throw me in a box and bury me by the pond. I don't know if I can get cremated..idk about that? I don't think I like that idea. Burned in fire? Oh hell no. It's already hell here on Earth at times I font think I want to be burned up? Maybe I can be put in a high tree like the native Americans did years ago, so they could be closer to god! |

I don't think I like that idea. Burned in fire? Oh hell no. It's already hell here on Earth at times I font think I want to be burned up? Maybe I can be put in a high tree like the native Americans did years ago, so they could be closer to god! I certainly wouldn't worry about it. The other day with the news of spotting 7 new "earth-like" planets, I sighed and smiled - so that's where my folks went. See ya! |

Well..yes...but seriously we had a very close and popular long time member, who was having some terrible issues both personal and family wise.....We were all very concerned as we felt the end was near......To have the site screw up and now no way to know what happened, does affect a lot of his friends, so I personally find this quite important.....The rest that went awol are scattered around, various support groups and a few have passed.....but we at least know the ones doing ok or not..... but alive.....or perhaps do not get too personally involved with people you meet... Another thought..when people join up they leave their email n correct name n info....Can his be assessed by Admin and followed up?  ..................Anyway that is all I want to say.....
