I’m also pretty worried. How do we know if anyone (a mod) is trying to contact her?
I agree that the fact that she hasn’t posted at all - regardless of this thread - since the 23rd is a little unusual. I did a quick scan through her recent posting activity, and she has been pretty prolific lately. A nearly week-long absence seems to be unusual.
Likely, we’ll all find out we’re being worry-worts but I’d rather be accused of being a ninny than be blase.
Guess that answers my question. Thanks Shirley.
Boy, talk about feeling helpless!
I agree.
calm kiwi, when you come back, you’re going to have to change your name because I’m not feeling calm about this at all!
Won’t Calm Kiwi be surprised when she hears about all the people who were concerned?
Kiwi - you here yet?
Remember also, those Kiwi’s are 13 hours ahead of us Eastern Standard Time Zone Peoples. So it is 1030am Tuesday there. she might actually have a job or something.
I remain cautiously optimistic. 
I am worried. I’m not a mom, but I feel like one right now.
When I see her, I’m gonna smack her lovingly upside the head and say, “What were you thinking? We were all so worried!”
I hope the mods have some magical powers and can do something to see if she’s ok. If Calm Kiwi participated in any of the post card/secret santa’s in the past, maybe the person in charge of exchanging addresses could forward information to a mod.
Wow - Now everyone just calm down. There is probably nothing to worry about - I live in Auckland too and there haven’t been any murders this week. I’ll bet you she is too busy having a great time to worry about posting here.
As I said in Post #87, I have calm kiwi’s email address from the mug exchange. The bad news is that I’ve sent her three progressively more panicky emails in the past week, and I have not gotten any response. If we get desperately worried, I also have her street address, so we could send MelCtheFirst over to check on her.
Has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe that she’s busy?
What!
She has alife?
GASP!
Yeah, that is my thought too.
I wish I had a life.
No Doper has a life! 
Obviously, that’s what we’re all hoping for.
It’s somewhat disconcerting when a member who rarely goes more than a day or two without posting goes of the radar for a week after making her last post on the day that she’s told us she’s agreed to meet a stranger for coffee, though.
Maybe I wouldn’t be so anxious if I had a life, but there it is.
I’m doing drywall repairs today, and keep washing the dust off my hands to pop back in and see if she’s turned up yet.
It’s a fine thing when you’re getting dispeptic worrying about someone on the other side of the planet, who you don’t even know by their right name. :o
Maybe **calm_kiwi ** got reaaaaally lucky… and the magic’s still happening.
:eek:
She’s stated in various posts that her first name is Kelly, and her surname (IIRC) is Smith. As I’m joining the chorus of those hoping that she’s okay, I’m also thinking how considerate it is for a frequent poster to notify the board in advance when he/she plans to be absent from the SDMB for more than a few days.
Normally I don’t think anyone would even notice, but because of these circumstances, it’s just a little bit unnerving.
Just the other day it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen Mockingbird in a while. Looked up his last post, and it was on Election Day!
You can send her street address to my email address if you like. Who knows she may live down the road.
Cool - I get to be important!!!
I thought it was understood that when a person signs on to the SDMB and pays the fee that all facets of the previous life cease to exist.
Obviously CalmKiwi did not read the small print.
In Other News, if she is laying in a pool of blood, I owe her some maple syrup. ( )
Your email address is not listed.
It appears that calm kiwi has been logging on but not posting. I have to think that, for whatever reason, she doesn’t want to talk to us right now. So I doubt that she would appreciate me sending someone over to her house to check on her. But I am worried about her, and I hope that she will post something – anything – soon just to ease our minds.
