Has anyone heard from.........?
An earthquake, flooding, a personal disaster, holidays, a lack of time or a misunderstanding........................
Sometimes a certain poster seems to have disappeared from the lounge and others worry: where is he/she? Need we bring flowers, offer some good advice, best wishes for the holidays, hugs or what? Could the mods. please make this thread sticky: for goodbyes, inquiries and returns? Right now everyone is worried about Stichawl in Japan and of the other members that are in that earthquake. I just hope for happy endings. Last edited by desertblues; 03-18-2011 at 11:32 AM. |

Wow desertblues thanks for this.
Right now I'm in a class and the classmate to my right keeps dialing his cell phone trying to reach his brother in Hawaii. |

Maybe we can also use this thread to mention if we are going to be out of touch for a while, or to let others know who to contact (if anybody) if we disappear unexpectedly. I'll go first by saying that if I drop out of sight without warning, both DixieGal and phenomshel have my cellphone number, and desertblues has my personal email address. You have my permission to ask one of them to get in touch with me.

No news yet. Stichawl went missing after the 7.2 quake that hit earlier in the week.

They are reporting widespread and prolonged power cuts over there, so hopefully he's just not able to get in touch. Of course, he's likely to have more pressing issues on his mind than coming on here as well. Last edited by Bilbo1967; 03-11-2011 at 01:53 PM. |

Stitchawl is in Kyoto according to his profile page. This report from an Englishwoman in Kyoto suggests that things weren't too bad there - at least initially.

Stitchawl, I hope all is well. We are all thinking and worrying about you and your family.

Absolutely!
I just read that about 4 milion homes are without power. Let's just hope it's nothing more than that and that as soon as power is restored we'll hear from him again! |
