I'm worried about Riverbend

[MsKandice01]

She hasn't posted since August 5th. I've been checking her blog everyday to see if she's updated and am becoming increasingly worried everyday. I hope she's okay.

1. I thought about that the other day, too....

I'm personally hoping it's nothing more than that she's without electricity. It's a bummer, but if she's okay, that's all that matters. Sending a good thought out for her tonight...

6. Some other DU'er had a link to her site yesterday....

and she hadn't added anything since early August. I, too, am hoping it's a technical problem and not something else.

3. me too. I hope it's cuz they are getting out of Baghdad

and not anything worse. I expect if something happened to her the other Iraqi bloggers would have mentioned it

4. as much as I appreciate Riverbend...

I think of every other Iraqi that cannot blog and are in the maelstrom.

7. who does she know(other bloggers) that can perhaps check on her?

I'll start looking around. I'm sure there is someone with the knowledge and connections to look in on her. It may be as simple as the fact that she sometimes goes long stretches without any posts.

8. Me too

As much as I agree with QuestionAll..., all lives are precious, it's just that I feel like I have gotten to know Riverbend over the years. I hope she is OK.

9. Would the US forces want to close her down?

She's a brave soul.
