> [@dantheman](#): > > **misstee** , you slut. I thought I was the only one! My confidence and self-esteem have now been crushed, and I’ll be forced to burrow under the frozen ground like a hopped-up groundhog to escape the madness. I can have more doper buddies. I didn’t know you cared so much about being the only one. I always thought the more the merrier. ---

I live with another Doper, so if anything happened to me, I think he’d notice. If it weren’t for him, maybe a couple people in the chat room might note my absence. \*\*Vivalostwages \*\* might, as well. She emails me occasionally and I get mail from her almost weekly. ---

I have in my will that **Ukulele Ike** is to be informed of my lamentable demise, and that he lobby for a memorial smiley (one glaring through a lorgnette and going, “well _really!_”). ---

I live with one doper - **Leechboy** and at times in the past when he and I have both been busy (having a baby and all) **Thylacine** has kept the dope updated for us. Wonder if she will be our doper buddy if I ask nice? ---

I would probably also notice if some of the posters I keep in touch with went missing in action for a while. Just might not think to find out why until it is too late though. ---

I don’t have a doper buddy either. -Lil ---

I should get myself a Doper Buddy. ---

I don’t have one, but to be honest I don’t think I’d want one. ---

I guess technically that’d be **morgs** , my brother. None that I’ve actually met on the boards, though. ~ Isaac ---

Don’t have a single buddy, I’m super shy girl. Anyway, it’s not like anyone would actually miss me. 😛 ---

I have got several of my RL friends to sign up to the SDMB. They’d do the biz if I popped my clogs FWIW anyway. ---

I don’t even have a Real Life buddy. I’m between social groups at the moment. Come to think of it, **Seige’** was looking for an excuse for her and me to exchange phone numbers. ---

I don’t have one either. Been here two and a half years. There are about 3 dopers who don’t post regularly that I know from another board. But probably nobody on SDMB would miss me anyhow. That’s what you get when you’re a mostly-lurker, I guess. ---

I suspect no one would even notice, much less care, if I were to “suddenly” disappear from the boards as a result of my demise (or any other reason, really).
