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

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 21:57:57

ana I know so

grin grin wink

They're coming to take us away ha haaaaaa!

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.

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 22:16:44

ana I hope so.

has absent not just turned internet off x

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

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

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

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

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

Not heard anything ella

Anne58 Fri 14-Dec-12 23:09:08

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

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

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

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

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

Me too confused

glassortwo Sat 15-Dec-12 07:17:18

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

JessM Sat 15-Dec-12 08:04:06

Yes there is an absent shaped void on GN

jO5 Sat 15-Dec-12 08:15:45

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!

glassortwo Sat 15-Dec-12 08:19:53

grin jingle

Ella46 Sat 15-Dec-12 10:25:22

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

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

Jodi Sat 15-Dec-12 13:48:11

Is it possible something has upset her?

Marelli Sat 15-Dec-12 14:00:48

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

Ella46 Sat 15-Dec-12 14:01:54

I don't think so jodi, she would have come out fighting if someone had upset her!

Nanadog Sat 15-Dec-12 14:15:06

Where is absent? I've just read this thread through and think it is out of character for her to up and leave, but she has.

ella I would usually agree but there has to be a reason, or she wouldn't have unregistered herself.

Granny23 Sat 15-Dec-12 14:25:50

Marelli As Absent has de-registered, she can no more PM us than we can PM her. hmm

Nelliemoser Sat 15-Dec-12 14:42:59

I feel I have got to know absent through her posts. I don't know how many of us have actually met her, but so much openness goes on on here you can feel you know people very well.

In view of he most recent posts maybe she feels embarrassed she has been too open; but you cant help worrying why such a regular poster has disappeared. Give us a sign Absent.
