I may be missing some...

Apple
Vince
Phlebas
Larry

(by extension, JustMe's daughter-in-law)

What vibrant people they were.

We are smaller because they’re not here.

And don't get me started on the people who no longer visit. Yeah @Tom-K , I'm looking at you!

[taiwan_girl]

Yup, miss those and wish that those who do not visit would come back.

Who was it who died from a spider bite in the garden? I can’t recall if it was a member of a member’s relative.

I think that was fake news to rid the world of a sock puppet.

Jolly used to call him John Anderson but that wasn’t his handle. Can’t recall what it was. But Horace is right, the spider bite story was bogus.

[89th]

Wow and here I’ve not been going into gardens for the past 15 years based on a lie? Tomorrow, I’m going to sniff the shit outta those daylillies.

@Renauda John Andrews

[Jolly]

Y'all have a lot better memory than I have.

[jon-nyc]

First was Rick in 2009.

Then Mike Olsen, then Mary, then Vince now Larry.

89, you’re next.

[jon-nyc]

John Andrews doesn't count it was fake.

Rick in 2009.

Forgot about him.

[Mik]

Wacki Iraqi...forget what his real name was. Richard something? Is that what Jon meant by Rick? It was about that time.

[George K]

@Mik yup, that was him. I think he died of some head and neck cancer. At least that's what I remember ycul saying.

[89th]

Wow I remember when he joined and there was a long debate if he was a sock puppet or not. As moderator I had to try to figure that out but ultimately didn't do anything IIRC. I recall his first mentions of being sick were even thought as immature ploys to further his puppetry, which obviously ended up not being the case.

I’m still alive and read many posts. I don’t play piano anymore. Although I’ve little to contribute, I enjoy discussion of newsworthy topics. Many of you are very intelligent and articulate. This makes me think and keeps my mind young. Thank you. I too want to thank the devoted tech minds who’ve upgraded the forum over the years and communicated seamless viewer links.

Everybody has an opinion. As always, yours is just as valid as anybody else's in this joint.

[Horace]

My opinion is generally more valid than others, in that I am able to answer specific questions about where my opinions come from, where others retreat, content with their emotional truth. However, emotional truths are always welcome here.

[blondie]

Oh, congratulations to those who’ve wed and had babies! I keep everyone who endures the medical stuff in my thoughts & prayers (no cliche .. it’s truth). George, I just may, just try going on a really slow & short trail ride. It’s been on my bucket list for years.
