All the love for Boston Rob in the Survivor threads must have him chewing his arms off to prevent posting. The man-love there is very strong.

He sends out a bunch of Friends invitations and then hauls ass. Who does he think he is… Verizon?

Actually, his name did come up in emails w/ dopers last week and I openly wondered if his disappearance wasn’t related to something I’d read about him getting on some medication, which **Big T** clarifies here.

I keep on thinking whenever I get an email notification for this thread, it’ll be Liberal bounding in to say ‘hi guys! Everything’s OK’. ☹

I got a PM from another member about **Liberal** and the other boards. He has not been seen on Domebo (which is now [Mellophant.com](http://Mellophant.com)) for many months and also has not been near Giraffeboard for nearly as long.

My last contact with him was not positive, but I hope he and his family are healthy.

I had a heart attack, but other than that I’m fine. Thanks for asking. I’m trying to get my book written as quickly as I can, so I don’t have time really to post. Appreciate the fond thoughts. (Wouldn’t mind a prayer to two either, especially for my wife.)

Holy crap - a heart attack!

Consider the prayer part covered. Your anniversary is coming up next month, IIRC - prayers for that too.

Somehow, that makes me smile. I’m not sure if you’re being glib, but it kinda sounds like someone saying “Oh, sorry I’ve been away, I had my head amputated, but other than that, I’m great!”

And prayers for your wife, too. What’s wrong with her?

Well, damn. Don’t go into the healthcare threads, then, Lib. Might be unsafe.

I’m glad you’re doing fine, and again, we miss you. What topic are you writing on?

Welcome back! As an atheist, I’m afraid prayers aren’t my thing, but I’m happily sending the atheist equivalent to you and your wife.

☹ “I had a heart attack” ☹

Prayers have been FedEx’d overnight priority. I tried a couple of times to respond to a PM I missed (last November?), but your box was full. Shoulda tried harder…

The Aesthetical Jesus.

(otherwise: you may e-mail me through the administration. I already told them that. They might stammer something about how my settings disallow e-mails from admins; however, two things: (1) that change was made very recently, and long after I responded to an e-mail that you in particular should be given my address, and (2) just because I don’t want an e-mail from an admin does not mean that I don’t want an e-mail from a member.
