absent DUers thread.

[ulysses]

Saw a guy yesterday who reminded me of youngred. Anyone seen Zack? How about lazarus?

[GOPisEvil]

1. lazarus is around

I spoke to him by phone a couple of weeks ago. He's gearing up for a trip to TX in August.

I haven't seen Zack in a million years. I'm guessing school and interning in the Senate ate his time.

[ulysses]

4. cool.

Probably true about Zack. How are things with the new house? Did you ever locate Peanut?

[GOPisEvil]

7. Nope, but I'm gonna need him this winter.

The native plants out back along the fence are growing like, well, weeds. This winter, I need to get the fence repaired. I've got some roofing to do (which I'll hire out), then painting. Of course, I might just bite the bullet and replace the HVAC unit instead.

All in all, it's not bad.

2. I Havent Seen AngryDemocrat

[Wonk]

3. Hi ulysses

:hi:

I've been gone from DU for awhile. Checked back in tonight. I wonder how many noticed or cared?

You know that old saying, ignorance is bliss? I'm pretty bummed out to learn what's happened to GBnC in the last weeks and months, aka Andy S, rest in peace.

[Lars39]

8. I was just wondering about you yesterday, Wonk!

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. HI Wonk!!!

So good to see you, really! :hi: :hug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Wonk, I last talked to Andy last Saturday evening....

He kept insisting that he was fine. I am still having trouble believing that I will never be able to talk or laugh with him again.....

[blondeatlast]

24. Good to see you again!

I took a bit of a short break myself, and had to work up to GD visits.

[Heidi]

He's starting up a business, so I'm sure he's really busy.

He's one of the few DUers I've met in real life.

:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

33. I posted about him maybe 6 months ago

someone told me that they had seen him on another messageboard, and that he was doing well. I miss him :(

[BamaLefty]

Khash.

[GOPisEvil]

31. He sleeps with the fishes.

[blondeatlast]

34. Oh, my--you're right.

Look what happens when I take a mental health break!

[Heidi]

32. Longgrain is taking a long break from DU.

He's posting now over at www.wetcanvas.com

I miss him, too, but he's really dedicating himself to his art and turning out some good new work.

[khashka]

39. I miss him

but it's nice to hear he's getting some good work done.

Khash.

[El Fuego]

45. Me too.

But I'm glad he has a new "home."

[name not needed]

41. He's been tombstoned.

[LincolnMcGrath]

43. longgrain? really?

:shrug:

[name not needed]

44. Yep.

[JimmyJazz]

47. This has been discussed repeatedly.

:eyes:

[LincolnMcGrath]

48. "really?"

:eyes:

[GalleryGod]

49. Abandoned Amusement Park Photo Essays ! Miss Him Lots.

:applause: A real artist.

[JimmyJazz]

55. I'm sorry to give you the eyes, but this does seem to come up

about every other week and it seems as if some people are questioning the admins' decision to ban him. I am not one of those people. I'm sorry.

[Capn Sunshine]

57. Ah-yup

you're definitely not one of those.

[JimmyJazz]

59. I'm not sure what you know or what you think you know,

but I hope you aren't blaming me for it.

[Capn Sunshine]

66. I know what I think you know I know

do you think you know or do you know know?
Some of this is unknownable.
It's a known known though, not an unknown known.
You know?

[SarahB]

62. You have my support and full agreement.

:thumbsup:

You know that already though. :pals:

[RetroLounge]

63. Yes, and I trust the admins on this one...

you should too.

RL

[LincolnMcGrath]

70. "I trust the admins on this one, you should too"

Never stated otherwise. Just had not heard.

[jonnyblitz]

35. i was wondering about zack (youngred) also..

I haven't talked to him in months. :shrug:

[LincolnMcGrath]

37. What ever happened to WillaYumpit?

:shrug:

[Skinner]

38. I see youngred occasionally in real life.

Last I saw him was about a month ago, I think. He seemed to be doing well. I don't know why he hasn't been around.

I have also heard from lazarus. I believe he will be back at some point.

[swag]

52. I like this biblical allusion:

"I have also heard from lazarus. I believe he will be back at some point."

[ulysses]

61. LOL!

:)

[progmom]

64. I thought the same thing when I read that

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

65. Snarf! nt

[JohnKleeb]

69. He doesnt have a computer

I last hanged out with him back in March.

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. On the off chance ya missed me.. I am back home now. :^P

[JimmyJazz]

42. Silly woman- you SAID where you were going!

But, we did miss you! :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

54. Heheh. I missed you guys too. Esp when I hear about London as I stood

in the cafeteria line with my girls. I really missed my DU community and dad right then. And when I got home and heard about Andy... I felt really sad about that too.

On the up side, though, as far as camp went it was fun. I even used one of the pics I took of my girls for my new desktop shot. Can ya guess which one it is? http://www.geocities.com/aesphotos0405/camp05.htm

[hiphopnation]

50. I jsut posted the exact same thread

LOL!!

I remember youngred. I was also inquiring about Forkboy, sangh0, youngliberal16 and some others. Wow...i've been here along time. Three years now.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

60. sangh0 was tombstoned

but having been here since 2001, I probably know more ex-DUers than current DUers. My list of the "missing in action" would be pretty long.

[lpbk2713]

51. California Peggy is conspicuous in her absence.

But I know she is on vacation and will be back soon.

[GalleryGod]

56. She's on a Mediterranean cruise for a month.

Nice.

[jeff30997]

58. I hope that Muffin is having a good time.

[GalleryGod]

67. Find your way to the "Jungle Room"........

that is all..over and out:hide: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

[JohnKleeb]

68. Nope havent heard from him

Ive been down in his area of DC this weekend though.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

71. youngred/Zack doesn't have a computer

...and he's moving to VA at the end of August. He seems to be doing okay. if anyone has anything to say to him, I could probably get a message to him.
