My dh wouldn't come here but I am FB friends with some Peas who may come and post about my demise. chirpingcricket...I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister and the work you have to do to clean out the house. I would totally help you if I lived close by. DH and I have had the "when I die" conversation quite a few times in the past year. He was way too close to death a year ago May and being diagnosed with cancer makes you think about it even though you know you'll be fine (breast cancer isn't usually the end, although it is for too many). I used to get really sad and uptight when I'd bring it up or he would make a comment but lately it's more laid back and almost run of the mill. I'll say "remember when I'm gone my kids (they're really adults) will need you" or "don't forget that so and so gets _____ when I'm gone." We really need to get it all in writing even though we don't have a whole lot of value. DH's contribution is more on the lines of "what the & [HASH]$% am I going to do with all of this (as he waves his hand towards the half of a room full of scrapbooking stuff and albums and boxes full of photos) when you're gone?"

KelleeM - I have asked my husband what he will do with all my scrap stuff before when I die seeing as I have no friends where I live. He said "toss it in trash I guess" I almost died right there!!!! Lol

Lol Oh no! Mine has decided he has a responsibility to hold onto the pictures and albums for my kids and he'll give my sister the option of taking all of the scrap stuff for herself or to share with our scrapping friends. He'd probably rather have a bonfire with it all!!

Ha!
Kristen (Kikinichole)- I'm thinking you're my go-to announcer-of-doom. If I ever stop FB messaging you, surely you will notice something is amiss. LOL

Wow, you'd have to have no real life or a serious Peas addiction to feel that the Peas need to know you're dead. Didn't the *real* Yubon have a sense of humor?

You better have your families tell us that you're gone and haven't ditched us for another message board. Without you my house would be clean, the laundry all folded and put away, five course meals served every day, and an award winning garden. I'd rather hear about your experiences with the crazy ass people at the store, your cray cray neighbors and your families that love to drive you to drink. My kids know my sign in, so if you start seeing a bunch of freaky posts assume that I am dead and my kids are screwing with you. You aren't French, are you? It would be assume if they could post in French when they screw with us.

Nativenewyorker, I would totally miss you. French Toast/Scarlett, same. Eastcoastpea, you are a doll. The rest of you; I'm sad that you believe no one would miss you. Gina you are hilarious. Kiki, you KNOW there'd be a 10+ page thread about you, lol. And yes, one of my Pea friends would post about my demise...I've met several IRL, and they know I would do the same for them. Awww...thank you! Right back at ya sweetie.

No. Oh heck if I die unexpectedly at home it could be a while before they find my body. They would miss me at work, of course.

Well now, this is just too sad that there are so many people saying they wouldn't be missed. We are a community here that enjoys being together (proven by the abrupt and untimely demise of the old board), sharing good news and bad, happy times and sad. All groups have a way to notify the others when someone passes. Maybe we all should have a 'buddy' (be it another Pea or someone who could know your login info) that would come in here and make the announcement. Every one of us makes us who we are and somebody would have some memory, and maybe a kind word to share, about every member on this board.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out if it would be any easier for my already dead husband to come here and post that I'm also dead, or if I should just do it myself.

Nope. And I'm pretty sure no one here would notice, and that's fine with me.

KelleeM - I have asked my husband what he will do with all my scrap stuff before when I die seeing as I have no friends where I live. He said "toss it in trash I guess" I almost died right there!!!! Lol Decide who would most benefit from your supplies, and tell him now "If I died, you could donate this stuff to the elementary school (or anybody else you wanted)." I told my ldh who he could give my supplies to, and he appreciated knowing. KelleeM - My mother has always been very open and frank about these kinds of things. I was raised with these conversations. They really do become matter of fact and don't seem morbid at all. It's nice to hear you and your dh are able to share on that level and be comfortable doing so.

I can't remember if I answered this. Would you all find out? Yes. Not because it's any sort of priority but simple because of social media. My husband wouldn't come here to tell you. No one in my life has ever once told me to come "ask the peas" for any opinions like quite a few of you have claimed. OTOH it would be all over FB and that would bleed into this board. Not as fast as announcing Robin William's death for sure. But it would make its way here.

No. My family only knows that I come to a website about peas. They probably think I'm looking up recipes for peas.

Well my cousin is a Pea so that would be the most direct route but since I host a lot of swaps still, I'm sure my Facebook feed would be an indicator. Would it make it here to these boards...no clue...
