What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

People always seem to come and go from BE but there seem to be some old friends and long time BEers who have gone AWOL over the past year or so. :(

I'll kick off with Michael, who IIRC hasn't posted in more than a year and S Folinsky who has only posted a couple of times since April this year, and not at all since June/July.

Captain Cheesestick... miss his posts greatly :(

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I came back, though... you lucky things.

Another poster I have noticed as being absent, for well over a year, from Immigration discussions--JAJ....

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

No word from Dunroving for eighteen months or so

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I think someone said that he'd been injured in a road accident. :unsure:

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Sally Redux disappeared and now posts very infrequently.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Well she is now no longer an expat.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Don't know if they stopped being expats, but a few off the top of my head that I miss are AWP, Rushman and Chartruese.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I am worried about him :(

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

JAJ retired from moderating & with that I suppose his MO for posting to BE.
Yes BiP I do hope he is well .

Dunrovin' worries me though as he was quite badly injured in an RTA I believe and we haven't heard from him for ages. :(

I miss lots of posters but one not yet mentioned is Another Bloody Yank.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

What happened to Snowbunny? And Elvira?

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

AWP and Rushman went back to the UK...they also changed their username...Old Bill and Optimus Prime.

Elvira went back to the UK.


I am also concerned about Dunrovin.:(

I often wonder about a few who I know had serious health issues and no longer post.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Mrs Danvers hasn't been around for a while either.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Often wonder how Bluegrass Lass and Penguin are doing and where they are living at the moment.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Yorkieabroad. I picture him stuck in his bathroom... phone battery dead... unable to post. :(

Poppygirl just dropped of suddenly with a new partner:unsure:

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

She's still active on FB.

Paddington Green?

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I scared him away. Seriously, I did. :o :(
And NCPenguin, and Patrick.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Miss him. Believe he was quite old and not in good health.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

That was several years ago. Last year he was injured in a car accident...sustained significant injuries. He posted once or twice...then disappeared.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

:( I liked him quite alot.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Me too. He was a good egg.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Regards dunroving:

He made several posts on the UK Yankee site about a month ago in mid-September. His only comment concerning his health was "As a result of health issues I no longer spend time on internet forums". Nothing more was said about how he's doing.

I also miss JAJ.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I met up with Patrick on one of his runs to Yonkers to the Sugar House when he worked for Ben & Jerry. Believe he had it with the many arguments in the Lounge and left in a snit. I know he was very active on FB and believe he is still living in upper NYS near Lake George.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Are we talking about the same person? :unsure: The Patrick I was talking about was ex-military (UK, army) and doing something with PC's and low-level tech support. His wife had a well paid job of some sort and appeared to be the breadwinner. He lived somewhere near Wilmington, NC, very close to the beach. I think he moved up towards Raleigh a few years later. He was abrasive and foul-mouthed.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

No, we are not. Realized there was another Patrick on BE and that was the one referred to. He and his wife had multiple foster children if I am remembering correctly. Ignore my post.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

I think you are talking about Patrick Hasler Rete...not the original Patrick...http://britishexpats.com/forum/members/patrick-2136/.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Patrick... What a fine name. :nod:

I've seen Ray and AmerLisa here and there, but not a whole lot.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Yup, that was him, "Pagan Sex God". :rolleyes:

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Thank you for posting that OAP.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

My dear friend Dolly passed away. :(

Desi was banned after repeated warnings. I think Gruff and Cinds left us for FB. :(

The Granddaddy of BE Ray posts when he can.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that :(

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Does anyone have things in place to post anything on the internet if anything happens to them. Back in the past an advert in the local paper would suffice to inform everyone that knew you. My wife has access to my passwords should anything happen to me and vice versa. Just curious what other people have in place.

Re: What ever happened to .... ? (the missing BE member thread)
 

Quite often a family member will let us know...either by phone, PM/email or post on here.

Sometimes a family member has opened an account so they can post.
