ATTN: Regular Posters

[Sadsack]

If you are someone who posts pretty much every day, I have a request.
PLEASE - if you need to get away from it all, or are going on vacation, in the hospital, etc, that you let us know.
Post it yourself if you can; if not, call a member and ask them to post for you.
There have been a few situations in the last several months where someone has just gone "AWOL". In one case the person had died, and it took a couple of months of "investigating" to determine that. Another one had been missing for awhile, and it was found that she wasn't feeling well but was going to be coming back. Two days later she passed away.
Other people disappear and we never know what's happened to them. Emails bounce, etc.
These forums are our only lifeboats. We need to know.

ps - there have also been people who seem to have recovered but leave all of this behind them, like a horrible nightmare from which one has awakened. I only hope if there is someone who fits that description that they at least make an announcement that they are leaving because it is over for them. (though I wish you'd stay to give hope and comfort to the rest)

If you click on General Discussion above and then click on Taking a Break Log you will see that Jo started this a year ago in the hope that people would let others know when they were going walk about.
