I've been talking to Pearl about this. Over the years we have had people who just disappeared, never to be heard of or from again.
Some of us become good friends. People from the forum have been to other's homes! We talk to some on the phone. We have had dinner with others. It is a community that has brought people together from near and far.
So what happens when the inevitable happens? There is one thing that none of us will escape, death! And taxes!
But how will we know what has happened to YOU when you are gone?
I have an idea, and we have talked about this in other threads. Some of us have done this. Think of one, two, three or how ever many people you trust here, and reach out to them in a private message. Share whatever you feel comfortable with, with them. I suggest that you include your whole name, your legal name. Include your phone, email, and maybe your location. That location could include your home or mailing address.
Why? When you are gone we can do a search for you, see if there is an announcement about your passing, or an obituary.
Or, you can designate someone in your family to inform us. A former PS member, Machinist, had his daughter inform us when he died from cancer.
There is a list of people who are MIA here, and I won't be able to put them all on here now:
Timmie
Gumpy
Old Coot Hillbilly
BBQ Joe (not sure if that is how to spell his user name)
Who else?
Will you help me with the list of people MIA? And if you see your name as MIA, will you please let us know that you are alive?
