Is she divorced or had any medical issues? perhaps we can find an old lawyer or doctor of hers from many years ago and ask them to pop round and do a welfare check. Failing that, perhaps we could all chip in a few dollars and buy that message board "Vortex Suckerbackinner" that was being discussed on the other thread. We'd probably need the newest most powerful version for Volt though, and those babies ain't cheap.

Love the sucking vortex... ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) But on a serious note, does anyone know Volt in real life? Just a to check on her and let her know we are thinking of her. Facebook? An email?

I think she made her feelings about this abundantly clear so I don't know why anyone is even considering contacting her. She knows where this place is, leave her alone.

For me it has to do with her being a human being. Plus on a personal note, her posts most often remind me of the saying "food for thought". Even when I don't like a post right off the bat, hers (and others) posts broaden my thought process and that makes me a better person ( or so I like to think, lol) I am the type to often wonder why and not assume. I once had a co-worker who had just stopped coming to work. No one at work even bothered to try and call. They did fire him and were highly indignant about it. So i tried calling him ( my manager was so mad that I tried to call him) I never could get ahold of him, but knowing he was close with his parents and had just moved out on his own ( he was so excited about this). i ended up calling his parents to just let them know. A few weeks later they called back to thank me. They knew i had had to go name by last name in the phonebook to find them. They had fould him unconscious in his apartment near death. He stopped by a few months later after he had gotten out of the hospital to thank me. I had to apoligize to him and let him know offcially he could not come back. That situation has always stuck with me.

I don't think some people care. After reading the thread of if something happened to you, would we know? I was surprised by the number of peas that said if they saw it on Facebook, they would tell us over here. I see them as two separate places. When Beth died, I saw it on Facebook but thought it was NOT my place to say anything over here. I put my pea friends on the restricted list on Facebook and feel bad I had to do it, but this is a safe place for me to vent and I don't want others to know I come here. So, in summary if I die, I die. I don't want anyone to know! I get that it doesn't matter to some people if they are known on the 2 places, but it does to me.

That situation has always stuck with me. Do you think, after what she posted on the other thread, that she'd be here if only she wasn't unconscious in the floor in her apartment? She doesn't want to be here right now, leave her alone. Most people would probably welcome your good intentions, but something...actually, SOMEONE--volt herself--tells me she's not one of those people. Again, she made it quite clear that she needed a break.

I have no peas on Facebook, that's even easier than restricting anyone! If I die, I'm dead, no one here will be any the wiser. I'm ok with that.

I don't really understand the problem with what Volt posted in the other thread. Yeah, I like coming here and spending some time but I kind of agree with what she said in that thread. Is agreeing with her going to villify me (well, more than I already am by some peas)? I must be missing something because I just don't see the point of making fun of her or saying good she's gone or whatever. She, like everyone else here, is allowed her own opinion.
If she's taking a break because this place or some peas were pissing her off, then good for her. If she just left because that thread was pissing her off, good for her. If life is just busy and she doesn't have time for this place, good for her. Regardless, the constant rehashing of what she said as being so completely wrong is just ridiculous to me.

I don't see anyone bashing her saying she said something dreadful, or saying "good she's gone". Are we reading the same thread?

Even when I don't like a post right off the bat, hers (and others) posts broaden my thought process and that makes me a better person ( or so I like to think, lol) Ok. But this is completely 180 degrees different. Volt made it *very* clear that if she was not on the board, she didn't want to be contacted. End of story. It doesn't matter what you (in general) got out of her posts or how you saved a coworkers life once upon a time. VOLT does not want to be contacted. This is about her wishes and not yours. It makes me slightly uncomfortable that this thread could be taken as making fun of Volt's desire to take a step back. We don't know what she may or may not be going through and should just simply respect her wishes of not being on the board and not sending out a search party.

I must be missing something because I just don't see the point of making fun of her or saying good she's gone or whatever. She, like everyone else here, is allowed her own opinion. I agreed in principal with Volt on that thread. I didn't post because I felt I'd already said it all before on another recent thread (where we joked about the cat eating me). I think you are misinterpreting what is happening here - I am teasing Gar. Volt made it clear what she thought and Gar posted anyway...so my posts are just silliness that Gar posted this anyway and that we could get a vortex to suck Volt back here against her will. I actually agree with you and Volt and ZG that people have no right to constantly tag and call people back and think they have a right to expect people to "check in and tell us you are OK". I seriously agree that people will post when and if they want to and will update when and if they want to. On a lighter note though I think Gar can take a joke and I was in the mood to tease her with some nonsense today...that's all.

Good gravy!! did you guys READ the thread where she responded to someone asking where Ashely was? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) She said NOT to ask about her, leave her alone, and it was stupid. So NOW people are doing the same thing to her??? !! LOL. I bet she's just sitting there rolling her eyes and saying WTF?!

grinningcat - I was not in any way making fun of Volt and what she said on the other thread made sense, was valid and was entirely fine BUT it was completely out of character in tone for volt, that's all. It was a bit odd. She obviously had her reasons and meant what she said. I have zero intention of hunting her down, she owes us nothing and of course this forum is but a tiny part of most of our lives. I did assume (risky, I know!) that her absence was connected to that thread so I just wondered about her, and put it in a thread. Perhaps I shouldn't have but its done now, no harm intended or done. We'll let it go and it'll soon get buried. pjaye - I laughed, no worries.

I wasn't worried, I already knew you got it...I was just explaining it to those who seem to have misinterpreted, and if Volt saw/sees it, I would like to think she'd laugh too especially as she was the one who used the term being sucked into the vortex.

She was considering a pretty extensive dental treatment a month ago. Maybe she's recovering from that. I hope she's doing well either way.

I don't know any of you "well" but I will say this...whether or not you are worried about her or not, this is a long thread! I have never been missed because I rarely post. As if it matters...I love that you all devote the time to wondering/worrying and discussing her wishes, what she's said in the past, etc... She probably cares that you miss her (or NOT) and I think it's nice that OP was looking for her. This "place" is always where I come for advice. I don't like to ask my friends (local friends) for advice. I like the advice here...and the reason is...you don't know me. You will be honest. You will spell it out and tell me what I might not want to hear. I really do love the things I learn here. I work full time, have two teenagers and I am always busy, but again, I appreciate the friendships here...this is a good place to hang out. If she is taking a break, maybe we say a little prayer for her. Maybe we have no idea what her struggles are? {Of course I say that, not knowing if she has mentioned any struggles, so forgive me if I don't know what I'm talking about! lol!)

Volt said that if she ever left, she wouldn't want to be contacted. Can't any of you fucking read? Only 1 person actually mentioned contacting her. The rest of us are just nosy or idly curious. And actually it was precisely the way she wrote so vehemently about it that made a lot of people go "Hmmm?"

I think she made her feelings about this abundantly clear so I don't know why anyone is even considering contacting her. She knows where this place is, leave her alone. This is the voice of reason.

We're not doing anything to her. If she isn't reading the board she won't know this thread exists. But ok, I shan't wonder out loud any more:smile:
