Members You Have Not Seen In Awhile But Would Like To

I was mostly on another forum....A very nice person here asked if I would like to come here....
I did find another person here who went to the same school as me....
Other wise, I'm not too familiar with that many people....
 

Any of these people might be here with another alias, it's possible.
What about curmudgeon from 2019? He was active for 6 months then quit.

Texas, New Mexico, California, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Hawaii. Sometimes I'd lose track of myself. Sometimes think of a restaurant I wanted to go to only to remember that it was somewhere else I'd lived. Sigh. Been here for 11 years. Next stop is the bone yard.

I'm back.

I will say, here, and then never mention it, again, that I was not banned from this forum. Rather, I left over differences I had with the way certain policies were enforced by the powers that be, here, no more, no less.

Heading into the future, I intend to steer clear of any potential issues that might lead to my leaving, again.

I missed quite a few of you, and only saw this thread about an hour ago, when I decided to see what was going on, in here. It moved me to become a contributing member, once again.

I'm glad to be back.....

Was thinking of you the other day...you should of seen this huge tree we had taken down. Am always amazed by the talent and agility of the professional tree men. Part of me always wants to have 911 on "speed dial" when they start to climb, they are so scary good.
 
I can't pull out a name, but the rodeo cowboy who moved fro Florida to Colorado
and whose wife was looking for a job. I miss some of his posts. Anybody know
anything about him?
Sorry, I didn't see Holly's post re: Classic Rocker.

I kind of miss Lon, and his often "pertinent" posts....the Most Important one which was about "How do you mount your toilet paper...so that it unrolls Over or Under"

Lon has even less to talk about now he's in enforced isolation in his care home room.. he's fine, tho'... but unable to mingle with the other ''guests'' .. or go to lunch dinner communally .. but I believe he''s coping remarkably well under these extreme circumstances

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry about the isolation he's going through at his assisted living. That has to be very difficult. Glad he's bearing up.

He's still posting on another forum, and enjoying his various electronic gadgets so not totally without anything to do at all, but yes it must be very difficult to be living in isolation in those types of situations... fortunately he doesn't have to cook for himself...

Oh Pappy I didn't know you weren't aware Ina had passed, it was a couple of years ago at least.. she was only in her 60's, she never really recovered from her husbands' death... @Happyflowerlady , knows the exact date, :( they were close friends

My beloved friend (and all of our friend here at the time) , Ina, passed away on December 9, 2017, @Pappy. Her stepdaughter, Patricia, called me that morning and told me that Ina had passed away in her sleep overnight.
It was a total shock to me when it happened, because Ina seemed to be doing okay, and she and I had been talking about getting ready for Christmas, and she was looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her family.

I am forever thankful that Ina was able to come to Huntsville and visit me after her husband passed away. She bought herself a nice little Kia Sportage, loaded up her little Yorkie, Izzy, and drove all the way from Houston, Texas to Huntsville , Alabama. We enjoyed being able to actually visit and get to know each other ā€œin personā€ for almost a week, and then she drove back home.

Ina loved her iPad, but she had trouble understanding how it worked, and I was her on-call iPad helper right from the first ; as well as we just had visits almost every day , and I had come to think of Ina as part of my family.
I still miss her, but I am glad to believe that she is in heaven with her husband and two sons now. Here is a picture of Ina and Izzy when she went on her last trip , and this was in California at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Last Wednesday evening, I was ready to leave for the day when I was asked if I could stick around for another hour or so while the Radio Dispatcher took a short lunch. I agreed. She wasnā€™t gone 10 minutes when I received a call from a young man telling me that he just killed his mother and two siblings and was going to kill himself. He told me that he wanted me to know so we could get some cops to his house and clean up the mess so the bodies wouldnā€™t lay around for days.

I immediately called the Lieutenant who was in charge of the District. He activated the SWAT team and they surrounded the house before kicking in the door. It all tuned out to be a hoax. The kids in the house had been playing a virtual reality game online and the one player had to identify his home address. From that, the kid on the other end of the line called in the hoax using the kidā€™s address.

Since then, we have given the callerā€™s IP address to the FBI and they will be handling it from here on out. It appears that the call came from Connecticut, but the FBI will be able to use the IP address to find the direct link to the correct house. I havenā€™t been into the Barracks for a few days, but Iā€™m sure that this person who made the call has already been identified.
