She sent Bama some stuff by mail a few weeks ago. Prior to that she hadn't been feeling well. Anybody heard from her?

We really need to have some sort of back up or contingency plan for this sort of thing. It could be as simple as computer issues like with Libby and Marty but now there are several people out there scratching their heads and wondering.... Maybe some sort of secondary contact list or something supplied to Mary or a nominated person - so we have a non computer method of contact. Gina's list of "never posteds" or "only talked to us once" need not join in (obviously) but anybody who wanted to could. Or maybe a "buddy" system so (as an example) if someones computer dies they should let somebody know via phone or snail mail or through somebody elses email that all is well but temporarily offline. Feel free to tell me I'm getting carried away. I am the mother of young(ish) kids. Pauline

Pauline I think that is a good idea! With all of the computer,health, & weather problems people have that would save a lot of worry. I just hope Chrys is just taking a long vacation & enjoying herself. Barb

You have a private message Mary. I think it's a great idea to have some kind of contact list here. There's been several times when the regulars here disappeared for a while and everyone was worried. Where are you Kath??? |

Funny, I've also noticed that she's been missing. Someone else we haven't heard from in a while is Isabelle. I'd imagine she's busy getting ready for her wedding and making her dress. It's so lovely that you all care about the members here and to want to have some way of checking on them it's more than some families do for their own. Bless you all. Regards, Bruna |

I haven't been on lately that much but I did notice that Kath was MIA. I just thought she might have been on vacation or something. When was the last time she posted? I think I have her address here somewhere if you don't have it let me know. Didn't she say her sister was having surgery or something? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Let me know if I can help in anyway.
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

I have the phone number she had given out for the red & white swap. I have tried calling it four times and it is either just a fax number or her phone is in fax mode. I will try to just fax her on Thursday when I go to work. If she was diagnosed with Type 1 rather than Type 2 diabetes, she may be having a period of adjustment. Certainly having first hand knowledge of Type 1 in our family, I think of her and I am hoping the knowledge of what has been making her not feel well is in the past and she is on the road to better days (or nights  ). However, although we are a close-knit "family" here at SWN, the nature of the beast of internet sites is anonymity; we don't use screen names that would easily identify ourselves. There are times when posters do connect and make wonderful friendships - but it is something we tell our own children to be careful of doing themselves. I will keep trying to reach Kath, but certainly I also respect her right to privacy. Kath does tend to be a very private individual and avoids attention. I am hoping she just needs time to heal before she is back. Thinking good thoughts.... Patty

I am worried too, not sure what to do at this time. I have to respect the privacy of everyone here on the site. Having said that.............If you would like to send her a "thinking of you" card here is what you can do. Send them to me and I will forward them on to Chrysantha. Email me privately for my address. Send your cards to me and I will send them on. <email address removed for privacy> If I hear we are intruding on her privacy, at least she can't say we don't care. I have done this in the past for other members who were ill. MaryW

Mary do you still want us to send you a card for her or are you going to just send one from all of us? Let me know she was so sweet when I was down and out to me I'd love to have the opportunity to do the same for her.

Wow... This is the first time I'm reading that specific section on the boards... and I see someone was worried about me. It gave me tears, it really did. Thank you Bruna, and thank you Barb for replying. To tell you the truth things haven't been so good because my grandma is dying. This is why I had to take a break for a while, just to get used to the fact and not bawl all over the place. I too really hope Chrysantha is OK. Sometimes we just need a bit of time off the Internet... Hopefully it's nothing bad. I promise to check that section regularly now. It really warmed my heart. Isabelle

I'll check in the morning, but I haven't heard of any that far west. This year there isn't a whole lot of information showing where the fires are - you almost have to search by area. It is probably to keep the idiots from starting more fires. PS I just did a quick check & didn't find anything, but I'll check again in the morning. Theresa

She is north of Pensicola and there is no fires where she is. I have her address somewhere here she sent me some thread a while back and i put her address in my papers after the storm. I'll try to send her a card in the next day or so and let her know we are concerned. IsabelleB, I was here when my Mother was sick and then passed away and these ladies got me through a really bad time. I was her caregiver and after the hurricane Katrina they all were wonderful to me. You are part of this family of wonderful people who care so much about each other it does bring tears to our eyes at times but you can feel the love from each one of them. With that said, you can cry cry cry we're here to sopp up those tears and listen to you. Prayers go out from me to your Grandmother and you.

Ladies, Kath could be suffering effects of all the smoke.. Let me tell you what the air here was like yesterday.. All the TV stations in Charlotte, (N C ) were talking about the smoke from the fires in Fla/Ga affecting the air quality here yesterday.. You could see the haze in the air and also smell smoke very distinctly.. I have a sore throat today that developed yesterday from all that smoke in the air.. We are approximately 200 miles away from the Ga line and 400 miles from the Fla line.. Now you put in perspective how close Kath is and she (and her ferrets) could be suffering greatly from the poor quality of air.. I for one am glad that a front came through here overnight..

If I'm not mistaken she has problems with allergies too. I hope the smoke is not going that way. A cool front came through here yesterday maybe it will push all that smoke off the east coast and she won't get any of it.

The last time I checked the Wether Channel, they where having problems in Chrys area with the fires and smoke. Sure hope that she id not being forced to move out. Either that, OR she finally found the source of her music that has been drivng her crazy the past few years and she has "wacked off" the jerk and is on the run!!!!! |

I also hope someone hears from Chys. She made one of the most gorgeous (well they all were) block in the red and white swap and that is what I think of when I see her name. I am off and on here and have really felt all of your concern and friendship just by posting a few things myself. Patty had mentioned something about Diabetes, I am a "survivor" of that. I no longer have it because of a pancreas transplant but It is a hard disease to live with. I only pray that is not the issue. She is in my prayers.  Jane "A trip to the fabric store is my therapy"

She made me a beautiful block for my quilt everyone contributed to after Katrina. As a matter of fact she made two of the blocks and they were orential blocks very beautiful. I sure wish she would pop on and say everything is okay. Mary have you heard anything back from the card you sent?

I did receive a short PM from her last week. She had sent me an embroidered block the end of March and the shredded envelope without the block was returned to her in mid-May. You can imagine how badly she felt as she is such a giving person. She didn't say much else about how she was doing but at least I know that much.

That's what I'm hoping too, Susie. You're right, sometimes the weeks just zip by and you don't realize how long you've been away. Let's hope it's just a combination of things but that on the whole she is OK.
