Coot, thanks for checking back in. Allow me to explain something? About a week after my kid brother called me the last time, he was found dead in his little house. He had already been dead so long they couldn't say when he had passed away, and he was so decomposed (it was summer in Portland) the county coroner said they couldn't even do an autopsy. After someone our age hasn't checked in for more than 4-5 days I began to get uncomfortable. After 7 days I flat out start worrying.
I realize it irritates some of my online friends when I worry about them, but after the way I lost my baby brother, I simply can't help it.
At least I'm not as concerned about you as about some of our single friends. I really do hope Flora would contact us if you become incapacitated? But, I'd hope everyone here realizes we all care about each other and become concerned when folks don't check in for a while.
Fair Warning: At the end of this year, I am going to India for three weeks. It is not always possible there to secure an online connection, so I am warning you all to not worry if I can't check in while there, or if my checkins are infrequent. My wife has instructions to contact you if it medically becomes such that I cannot contact you for myself.
