I don’t even know if this is the right forum?? Or if these kinds of posts are allowed on SDMB? My apologies in advance for any inadvertent goofs.
Sorry I’m going to be so vague. I don’t want to draw huge attention to someone who hasn’t posted in 3.5 weeks because maybe she wants her privacy. She isn’t accepting PM’s. But I’m concerned and hope she’s ok. I don’t need to know any details at all, I just want her to know I noticed and that she’s missed.
I guess I’m hoping she’s lurking, sees this, and knows I mean her. Or maybe someone who knows her better than I do will figure out who I mean (not likely with no information!).
Thanks for reading. I have no intention of pushing any more than this.
You’d probably get better results if you gave a name. It would be no breach of etiquette or board rules to do so. We often get concerned about people who seemingly drop off the face of the earth!
Thanks, Ellen Cherry. Yeah, I know posting her name would make things easier! But she seems like she really values her privacy, so I don’t want to “call her out” just yet, know what I mean?
Might be on vacation, or dealing with real life things (good or bad). Or just taking a break.
It’s hard to say and we’re hesitant to bug someone if they don’t have a publicly listed email address – we’re supposed to respect your privacy.
I do understand your concern – I lost touch with someone here on the board that I saw occasionally online, we used to talk in the middle of the night, that kind of thing – I found out months later she had a brain aneurysm and just suddenly passed away. I’m still not really over it and even though she was not a close friend she was a very nice person and I miss her. So I feel for you. I hope your situation has a better story.
We’ve had some success with threads like this when the name is given. There are users who are Facebook friends with other users…they sometimes know more about the day-to-day life of members. But if you don’t want to specify who it is…and you just want her to know she’s been missed…I guess your missing is accomplished.
Tuba, no email’s listed, but I wasn’t hinting that mods or admin get involved! Not at all. I’m very sorry about your friend. That happened to me on another board. It’s still very difficult for me to think about as well.
Digital, I’ll give it awhile longer, then maybe post her name.
