Every time I hear of a tragedy, I wonder if you are all safe. However, I don’t know where all of you are, and to be honest, I don’t always notice when you don’t post for a while. Sorry!
I, for one, have no procedures in place to notify you guys if anything should happen to me.
I have it outlined in my will that as one of my last wishes, someone goes through my favorites folder and let any forums in said folder know of my death. That way the folks there who care know.
There are some who know me on other boards who may miss me after the first few days. They know my real name and address, and may track down what had happened. But the chances that anyone on the SDMB would even know something was wrong aren’t all that high.
Well, my teenage daughter is a member, so I’m guessing she’d get around to mentioning it eventually. Also, my hubby is an “honorary Doper” (he registered before we went to pay, and posted maybe twice; but he attends dopefests with me pretty regularly, so the MAD’s have labeled him an honorary Doper") and I suppose that if EtherealFreakOfPinkness didn’t start a thread about it, it would probably occur to him to pop in and let y’all know.
Mr.stretch doesn’t understand this whole Doper thing and would never think to let y’all know. I don’t post enough that I’d be missed and I’m certainly hoping to die in a less than newsworthy fashion. So you’d never hear about it, though if someone wanted to figure it out they probably could.
