I have tried to Pm Absent and I am getting a blank grey box, has anyone seen her around over the last few days?

I think absent is unlikely to be 'made' to leave us, yogagran. She's not that sort of lady (I wouldn't think, anyway).
She's one of our originals. absent, if you're reading this, please come back - or pm someone to let us know you're ok? xxx

Is it possible something has upset her?

yogagran Sat 15-Dec-12 13:10:31

I'm glad you bumped this thread Ella as I was concerned too and wondering what has happened. Just hope that Mr.Absent hasn't discovered her posts and made her leave us sad

Surely she wouldn't have closed her membership just to get a job done, she must know we miss her.

There should be a box to tick when one of us leaves, to say...tell everyone goodbye sad

absent did say she had taken on a last minute job that had to be completed before Chrismas and she wasn't sure how she was going to make it in time.

She has obviuously got fantastic self control. Respect absent!

Yes there is an absent shaped void on GN

I am sending absent a {{{hug}}} if she is lurking, I dont for one minute thinks she is but you never know.

kittylester Sat 15-Dec-12 06:57:43

Me too confused

Ariadne Sat 15-Dec-12 06:22:41

Me too, Granny23! I'd just like to know that she's OK.

Granny23 Sat 15-Dec-12 02:43:30

That has been at least a week now. I am very puzzled and sad. Absent was is an 'original' in both senses of the word. I feel I have lost a friend and cannot imagine why.confused

I just hope that she might be "lurking" and see how much she is valued and missed.

glassortwo Fri 14-Dec-12 22:54:36

Not heard anything ella

Ella46 Fri 14-Dec-12 22:47:14

Just bumping this...has anyone got news of her, is she ok?

harrigran Sun 09-Dec-12 23:56:53

I can assure you that the lady who was attacked in Newcastle was not Absent

has absent not just turned internet off x

glassortwo Sun 09-Dec-12 22:16:44

ana I hope so.

Ana Sun 09-Dec-12 22:11:21

glass, I know you did, but all this speculation isn't going to bring her back. I'm sure someone will let us know she's OK soon. smile

glassortwo Sun 09-Dec-12 22:06:25

grin no it will be the men in the white coats grin

I did tell you all yesterday that absent had gone.

Jodi Sun 09-Dec-12 21:57:57

ana I know so

grin grin wink

They're coming to take us away ha haaaaaa!

Ana Sun 09-Dec-12 21:37:02

Bags has posted several times today, earlier on. jodi do you think we're systematically being abducted by aliens or something? hmm

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.

janeainsworth Sun 09-Dec-12 21:08:13

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.

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.
sad

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

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