Good ol’ umkay. We still can’t get over her, can we? ---

I keep thinking I must have missed a link in the chain somewheres. I read the OP, I read the “she’s dead” thread, next thing I know, we were all duped in some horrible way, everybody is jumpy, and even joke threads seem a little…dark. What the hell went wrong, you guys? ---

umkay was a troll, plain and simply. She wasn’t who she claimed to be. Probably not even a she. Just a sad person who knew way too much about living with an SCI. ---

I have currently a leg infection and a back pain that reduce my mobility. Also, I learnt recently that I’m going to get a not unsignificant life insurance from a remote relative who passed away two years ago. I’m affraid it could be the first symptoms of chronic umkayite. Do you think I should be worried? ☹ ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > I need to be real with ya’ll: I am **Umkay**. I always hated how unpopular I’ve been on this board, so I felt compelled to concoct a nice little darling whom everyone would simply **adore**. I needed to feel loved; even if it was ‘by proxy’. And then we hated you for being filthy rich. **Ambivalid** or **umkay** , you just can’t win, and in the end you’re **NotOk**. 😃 > [@Joey\_P](#): > > > [@Morgenstern](#): > > > > Didn’t she die? > > She got better.

Just a sad person who knew way too much about living with an SCI. That was then. Now, she’s entrenched in history forever as a living SDMB legend, legacy, joke, and laughingstock. When Dopers of the year 2112 are IHMO’ing about the horrific barbaric things we did in 2012, they will still be making zombie jokes about **umkay** ---
