Elsi has brought it to my attention that it could be useful to have the contact info of a different person as well, in case you've stopped posting because you broke both your arms and can't answer your own mail / telephone. so keep that in mind please.

Personally, I have enough grey hairs. Although I admit, just as many have come from posting here regularly as from raising my kids, but I digress.

IF you would like to be on a 'contact list', please pm Zelda_Pinwheel with a contact email......should be one you use regularly, of course.

These contact emails will NOT be released to the public forums, and will be used only as a 'well check' should you go missing for a while. We promise no ads for 'extend your member now!' or personal hygiene appliances will be appearing in your email box.

ONE mod will contact you, you won't be inundated. You can reply with your own reason why you haven't been on, or you can choose from the following.

1) I"ve been kinda busy trying to make a living here!

2) I"ve been sick, send soup!

3) I'm taking a break and seeing what a real life is like, leave me alone already!

We will respect your privacy and reasoning, and will just let others know you are fine and not moldering in a closet somewhere.

So, regular posters, (and you know who you are!), please help desertgrandma keep what brown hair she has left. Send contact info to madame Z. now.

EDIT : Elsi has brought it to my attention that it could be useful to have the contact info of a different person as well, in case you've stopped posting because you broke both your arms and can't answer your own mail / telephone. ta.

Awww, grandma, you're such a softie. You only act tough. I especially like the idea of free soup.

[RWood]

Where do I get the USB soup connection for my laptop?

[GeoffC]

sign me up .... (details as profile)

me thinks dg is looking to become an official green before too much longer .....

[desertgrandma]

Is everyone getting their contact info in?

Hmmmm?

[montsnmags]

Seeing as Queen Zee already has my "contact info", and as this thread has been frequented by enough folk that their subscription to the thread will likely provide an awareness sufficient to advise others should it in the unlikely event be raised as an issue, I just thought I'd pop in here to say that...

Although it is of little consequence, and for such a brief time that it unlikely anyone would notice or care about the absence, I will be absent from any contact (disconnected entirely) from Tuesday morning (including the sleepy-time from midnight) until Thursday evening, all of this Brisbane, Australia time (<---linky). I just mention it on the off-chance that someone has an inexplicable attack of feelings of abandonment and needs to make a connection with everyone in their address book, and I happen to be in there.

FWIW, I'm flying solo (metaphorically, not literally), taking my psyche away from the hectic chaos of Noosa for a couple of nights and days of rest, relaxation, serenity and hermitage in the middle of the most population-dense city in Australia (Sydney). Alas, for those who enjoy his company, Adrian will be accompanying me (possibly belying my "flying solo" bit, but I consider his invisibility and likely lack of actual existence in any kind of objective reality a reasonable way of avoiding paying for two airfares).

Wish me well, or at least no ill.

Cheers,
Marc
PS. I realise I could have just said, "Not here: Tuesday-Thursday"

Well and no ill

Sydney! Have fun, be safe (do those go together?) and experience it all (or as much as you can). Bring home lots of good books

Thank-you. I've actually already had the opportunity to "experience it all". I lived there, virtually in the city (in the inner eastern suburbs, an easy walk into the CBD which is where I usually spent my free time), for a little over eight years, prior to moving here about 18 months ago. Prior to those eight years I lived in assorted places in the Sydney metropolitan area (including a few years in the inner western suburbs) for about 11 years, working in the city.

So, the next few days are just a short return to a place that I, particularly during those 8 years, called "home". Eight years was the longest I'd lived anywhere in my life. I loved Sydney, as I love Noosa, though for exceedingly different reasons. Sydney's disordered patterns and blurred speed and crowded and colliding chatter were, oddly (in that seemingly contradictory way) sympathetic with my neurotic introversion and desire for isolation. As they often say, it's very easy to be alone in the city. I sometimes think I miss that.

Part of the reason for my visit is to see if, and if so, how, I've changed. City life, 1000km north to surfside tourist-town life, had more extreme changes in it than just geographical location. The pace here is slow and relaxed, and any solitude and calm comes from the polite courtesy of people in the respite-mood that vacation in a place of natural beauty brings. It's different...very.

Bring home lots of good books

I have my List (of books and DVDs), so don't worry about that.

Cheers, and thanks again,
Marc

I found being one of many like a comfortable cocoon. You could just "be". Then, I moved away to a quiet mountain lake community. For some reason, everyone was in everyone's business and always "stopping by"(friendly but so much for quiet!)
Then, I moved back to a suburb of my hometown and had to readjust to the feeling of "too much" everything. Seven years now and back to feeling comfortable in the cocoon but missing the landscape

[Lady Blue]

Well Marc, you and the transparent one fly (metaphorically) safely (literally.) We'll be anxiously awaiting to hear of your adventures (or lack thereof) while away from us.
