She might be getting all snuggly with Mr Absent grin

Ella46 Sat 08-Dec-12 22:45:14

That would be so nice wouldn't it? I hope he hasn't been reading about it and got the hump! shock

gracesmum Sat 08-Dec-12 23:08:49

She's not listed as a nickname any more - I also tried to pm her.

glassortwo Sat 08-Dec-12 23:17:38

Oh I thought so Grace I hope she is ok.

harrigran Sat 08-Dec-12 23:26:32

I wonder if Mr Absent found out what she wrote and she decided to withdraw hmm

If you are still popping in absent - tip us the wink when you acquire a new "incarnation" - missing you and your input.

Ella46 Sun 09-Dec-12 11:05:21

That's what I wondered harri sad

gracesmum Sun 09-Dec-12 13:06:46

I hope it is not what harrigran suggests.

Ana Sun 09-Dec-12 13:19:14

I'm sure some members will have absent's email address, and any information she wants to share can be passed on.

gracesmum Sun 09-Dec-12 14:22:58

It would be good to know all is well.

I'm sure I've read something from Absent as recently as last thursday - although of course I can't find it now! I've been away for a couple of days but nobody is worried about me wink. We all have things to do at this time of the year and not all of us are glued to GN night and day so let's not worry unduly although Harri's suspicions could possibly be the reason. shock

Last post I can find is Thursday 12.35.22 on Useless or Pointless (?) Emoticons. Any later sightings?

JessM Sun 09-Dec-12 16:20:21

And if she has gone away, she is far too sensible to announce her plans on line.

JessM Sun 09-Dec-12 16:26:33

She was posting on Friday that they are in the middle of decorating the house. grin.

Learnergran Sun 09-Dec-12 16:42:55

Glad to hear that - I was worrying, after reading about the lady from Newcastle who was attacked in her home and managed to phone for help by using her tongue. That was on Thursday, wasn't it? Sorry, don't mean to be an alarmist but it would be good if Absent came on and let us all know she's OK!!

Learnergran Sun 09-Dec-12 17:35:11

In fact, do we need a morning Register? gringrin

jeni Sun 09-Dec-12 17:36:01

Marked in red and black ink?

gramps Sun 09-Dec-12 17:41:33

I suspect that the Lady in question may be making up for "lost time" with OH, Hope so anyway!

JessM Sun 09-Dec-12 17:55:10

steady gramps

Jodi Sun 09-Dec-12 19:52:01

But as gracesmum pointed out she is not contactable by PM.

JessM Sun 09-Dec-12 20:48:30

It's true. She seems to have left us.
sad

However should she return we will quickly recognise her inimitable accerbic style.

GNHQ have everyone's email addresses.
Perhaps they could be persuaded to send out a standard 'your absence has been noted and everyone is very concerned' message, and the recipient could then either respond to the forum or send a PM to another member.

Jodi Sun 09-Dec-12 21:18:28

And where is bags?

Sorry you weren't missed gally smile neither would I be. It's just that some GNetters post several times a day every day and are therefore more noticeable when they vanish.
