where is AZ Jim?

I'm a wannabe gumshoe, that's why I enjoy watching all the detective shows out there. I was able to find the contact info for Jim yesterday. But, I am deaf and cannot call the cops to make a welfare check, when I need to make a phone call I pay my neighbor to do so. If anyone here is willing to make the call and face the consequences of a possible ''invasion of privacy'' problem, convo me and I will give you the info in private. I hope I'm doing the ethical thing.

I don't believe anyone should be trying to call him, but if you have his information maybe do a google search of obituaries in his area. I know that sounds morbid, but at least we'd know if he was on permanent leave. (And I sincerely hope not.) He has been hospitalized in the recent past so it may be that he is simply too ill to participate for a while.

@AZ Jim --if you're out there, we're thinking of you. Check in when you can. 🌸
 

Yes, at this point we are "assuming" he'd check in if he could. Maybe he doesn't want to be bothered at this time, if he's not in the best of mental and/ or physical shape. Maybe he just wants to be left alone. Thinking we should ask each other how we feel about being "checked up on". Some of us have spouses and close friends and relatives, others do not. We still don't know if he had someone come in from time to time, like the lady that brought him meals? If so, he's already being checked up on. Thats why we have personas on the forum, right? For privacy's sake?

GREAT idea, @C'est Moi , this wannabe detective didn't even think of it. LOL I searched for him and no results, but I also checked for his wife and no results for her either. I did find out HER sister died in July, 2012. I only do free searches, don't bother paying for paid websites. So, back to square one.
 

****Update**** on Jim...

I have been reliably informed by a mutual friend who is a member of several of the same forums as me , that Jim posted on a political forum that he was entering a hospice, and would no longer be online.

So it looks like he's in hospital after all, and hopefully still alive, but things must be bad for him to be in Hospice care..

That's as good as we can expect. At least he'll be comfortable; what else can we ask for?
 
I'm glad to hear that Jim is in good hands and is being cared for.

Please, Don't take this the wrong way but if I ever turn up missing just let me go and remember the good times that we've all shared here at SF.

In my will, I have explicit instructions that absolutely no obit ever appear for me. I'll be quietly shipped to a pre-selected med school, and life will go on, as it will, without me. That's it.....

Something interesting I learned about donating your body to science when I worked in retail firearms & instruction: A familiar face walked into the store: Dr. Thomas Nogouchi, who was the L.A. County coroner at the time. He wanted a recommendation for a 9mm pistol & he needed me to show him how to disassemble & reassemble it. I asked him if it was a house gun. He explained that it wasn't; it was for "testing;" shooting deceased people to perfect the technique of making plaster casts of wound channels to use in forensic investigation & court trials - studying different angles to prove or disprove a suspect's version of what happened. Dr. Nogouchi perfected a similar technique for stab wounds.
So.....if you donate your body to science, it may be used for medical training or something else.

No, I have the med school specifically named in my will, not that I'll care if my dead body is blown to smithereens.

I agree with you Liberty. Although some of us enjoy an online 'family', we also want our privacy in times of mourning or poor health. I would want to be left alone and wouldn't appreciate anyone trying to research my personal information or call the authorities to check on me. Most folks have someone they are in contact with, even if just a neighbor. If someone felt vulnerable and needed someone here to stay in contact with toward the end of their life, or if in mourning, they could always make a mutual arrangement for that with another member here privately.

Thanks so much Holly for letting us know about Jim, so sorry to hear he is in hospice. He is a good person, and I'll miss seeing him here very much. :(

That's the way I feel Bea, If I am no longer posting here, just let me go. If I was capable and wanted to, I would go to the computer. I hope you're around for a long, long time Bea, I've always enjoyed your posts, humor and kindness.
