So now I’ve read the whole coconut thread and no one actually tried it? I know there was a post about Indian festivals, but that’s hearsay.
StG
Hmm, here I thought I only made a dent with the (many) people I pissed off, and that I vanished from their thoughts as the emotion faded. Weird to think that I’ve made a more permanent dent than that. (Unless…you don’t happen to be pissed off right now, are you?)
Now I find myself wondering if I’ll log in after some vacation or another and find exaggerated rumors of my death waiting for me. 
Sounds like a game thread: how did the poster before you meet their unfortunate demise?
Heaven for climate, Hell for company.
Though I wouldn’t know how to ping your sister in this case, since we all met in Nashville I do keep an eye out and notice when it’s been awhile that you haven’t been on here. I think it was a thread of yours (to do w/ dogs?) that got me interested here in the first place.
As to the OP question, Tripler and I would know relatively quickly if either of us died, and notifying the Dope would be a gimme I should think.
Yes, thanks, Doctor said a few years back he’d have said 1-3 years but new developments have come along. I get readings every 6 weeks. They’ve been better each time since I started the treatment in January except for the very last which was marginally worse than the next to last one.
Wife informs me there’s no way I’m dying and leaving her alone with Trump – so I have that going for me as well.
Best post of the thread.
A dear friend of mine passed away about six weeks ago. (I think I mentioned it in some thread or other.) He was really, really sick, and he said he felt like he was abandoning all of us to thump. 
Maybe, maybe not. I’m actually on facebook with several members, and I’m a member of the SDMB facebook group, but whether or not anyone would take note or care to impart that info is dicey.
There is zero chance of the board being notified.
And if it were, the thread would look something like this:
“Who?”
“Wait, what now?”
“What’s that? Someone lost their mustard?”
“Who did what to the who?”
“Was he that French fella? No, I’m thinking about French’s mustard.”
"Did you say ‘mustard gassed’ or ‘mustard passed’?
“Someone passed muster?”
“mmm”
mmm
What I would say is, “Oh, he’s the guy the Beatles wrote that song about. I miss himmmm.”
Well, this thread has depressed the crap out of me, since it nudged me to consider that pretty much no one anywhere would notice or care and now I am running around like someone in a Munch painting. Thanks a lot. I would be happy to be part of a SD tontine-like pledge where we agree to notify the board in the event we don’t hear from someone after X weeks or months.
Now that I think about it, I realize that I won’t know I died. So why should you?
Perhaps it is best that we all agree not to die. :dubious:
No. I was a long time lurker before I joined in 2012, and really only started posting a year or so ago…no Doper friends, and given my voluminous 0.145 posts per day, I haven’t contributed much this board that would make anyone notice me much less notice my absence.
There is another board where I am an admin, am good friends with numerous people there, my wife would tell them, but no reason to say anything here.
Nope, not pissed off. But if you return from some bucolic vacation to find all the Dope agog over your supposed demise at the hands of a sultry flamenco dancer named Victoria (actually an undercover underwear inspector for KAOS) who booby-traps the Cone of Silence with lethal quantities of Teen Spirit, you’ll know who started that rumor.
I’d join, but with my luck, I’d last longest, and when I died, no one would know. Crud, now I’m depressed.
Careful, though. If you announce that Eliahna has attained a consumation devoutly to be wished with bare bodkin, and then Eliahna continues to post from beyond the infinite, your credibility might be damaged.
If I had friends or family that would care about that, I wouldn’t be posting so often.
Not a chance. Unless I update my will to instruct the board to be notified. No one I know IRL (except for a few Dopers I’ve met) knows I post here.
